Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children - VGF

Ike · 09-20-2005, 06:39 PM

According to numerous sources (*cough cough cough*) the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie is supposed to be released in the US and Europe anytime from now to a month. Something that I bet many of you have forgotten about (Neko showed us the first glimpse of it about 15 months ago) is coming out soon. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm looking foward to this movie and will probably get it.

When is Lent Children supposed to come out?

...Sorry, it was too easy. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I've seen the (DVD-ripped, peer-to-peer distributed, potentially litigious) fansub, and I must say that I liked it. Not nearly enough Yuffie in it, though.

The official US distro is probably going to have all sorts of other goodies attached to it, though.

I CAN SAY I SEEN IT MUCH LEGALLY. WITH MY... UH... JAPANESE CONNECTIONS. >.>

Nice action. Nice-ASS action.

I am personally infatuated with Cloud's all-in-one Swiss Army Buster Sword. And the action - I kind of just say "screw the fan-subs" and skip from awesome fight to amazing fight. The OST I may actually buy, too. (Chase-music, ooooooooooh yeah).

Katyrna · 09-21-2005, 04:47 PM

I can't wait to get it. My friend's got a friend who somehow got her hands on a fansubbed copy, and the only problem now is a time for me and my friends to all get together. At this rate, I might have it before that happens... *Drools* I can't wait! Yummy music, action, and extras, too...

Oh yeah, "Advent Children". I saw a preview for it on my "Steamboy" DVD. I was never all that interested in the film, but I was willing to give it a fair shake at one point; that all changed, however, when their announcer misprounounced the word 'respite' as rhyming with 'despite'. On the basis of the filmmakers' obvious hatred of the English language, and, by extension, Western civilisation as a whole, I will be boycotting this film.

You have fun with that.

I saw it earlier this week. This one makes up for Final Fantasy: The Spirits within, but it begins to break up at the end (WARNING: SPOILERS!!!) and they end it quick enough.

+Really good animation and art style

+Very good fight scenes, as well as the One-Winged-Angel remix.

+A perfectly good extension of the Final Fantasy 7 Storyline

+The motorcylce chase scenes were just cool.

+NO FREAKING HIDEOUS MOOGLE!!

+Yuffie, Marlene, Tifa, and Aeris don't have really cheesy, very high-pitched and squeaky voices like most female japanese voice actors do, and Cait Sith's voice is actually pretty decent.

+Fans of those boring Turks guys will not be disappointed, they practically have the most screentime!

-The scene where Kadaj dies in Cloud's hands in the holy rain was cliched.

-This was probably the subbing job but do they even explain why Kadaj and the other two pieces of Sephiroth wanted the children under their control?

-Aside from that one fight scene, the main characters besides Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 are just standing in the new airship saying "We're here for the fans' sake." and commentating on what's happening. (HUGE anime/manga/movie/story cliche.) Yuffie just stands there holding Materia and Red XIII just offers as Cait Sith's mount, gets a headache from Cait Sith's arms, and has one line at the very end. Only real exceptions are Tifa and Vincent. I would have preferred for the other characters to have something of a role, not just the people who commentate on what Kadaj really is and how much danger Cloud is in.
