Hopefully, they're trying to save the children from being in a Scooby Doo quality Movie.

I STILL say it looks like crap.

Umm, yeah, there is no logical and uncheap way to explain how Sephiroth is still alive.

Sounds like a plan for an easy buck to me.

I think it's very simple. Sephiroth was blasted into space by the explosion caused by the impact of meteor, and holy, and the lifestream. He drifted for days, weeks, months, and a year or so... until he was dragged through a wormhole! He went through a time and space vortex that defies the very fabric of our being. And the, he was summoned before Unicron. Unicron offered to repair Sephiroth if he got the Autobot matrix, which Cloud conveniently bought from a pawn shop. Unicron fufilled his end of the bargain and Sephiroth became Galvaroth, distroyer[sic] of worlds! Galvaroth tried to go to heaven but got lost along the way. Then he was lost on an uncharted desert isle with the skipper and he met a beautiful island princess, and they wed and had many babies. Then Galvaroth remembered his promise to Unicron and thought "oh snap!" and went back to whatever planet they live on. Then he teamed up with Josef Stalin, who was planning a conspiracy to clone velociraptors, Dracula, Blackula, and last, but not least, Mr. Bean. Then the others died in a carwreck and Galvaroth decided Galvaroth was a dumb name and went back to his slightly less dumb name, Sephiroth and tracked down Cloud.

They don't explain this in the film, but they really imply it.

Could be one of his more functional clones.

I already explained it in the above post!

You're all eediots!

oh come on, has it ever occured to you that he isn't alive, its just a haunting reoccuring memory of nine years ago??

Hmm, Carter, I beg to differ. See, Sephiroth was killed BEFORE Meteor hit.

Or so we thought...

You see, Seffy, being the smart guy he is, realized how much it would suck if Cloud and crew did all that work for nothing. So, when Cloud handed him the Black Materia, he used it for two things: to summon Meteor and to take a long vacation to...the moon! Yes, the moon! Because the moon is a very nice place to be, complete with beaches and other fun forms of entertainment (If YOU were trapped in a Mako crystal for years you would want to get away too!) So Sef hired some moon hobo to go take his place on earth.

The poor hobo was defeated...poor hobo. So everything was going great until Sef realized that he left his teddy bear back on Earth...poor Seffy. Having forgotten about Cloud, he used his Black Materia to go back to Earth peacefully. BUT! Cloud, being the spikey haired idiot he is, saw his arch rival and started flipping out. Sef had no choice but to fight...for Teddy!

And that woman in the wheelchair? She's the lady who made Teddy. See, what happens is *spoiler alert!* Sephiroth finds out that Cloud gave Teddy to Red XIII to use as a chew toy. Poor Teddy was shedded to pieces. Sephiroth goes to find his bear's mother, but she is injured because Cloud accidently stabbed her in the heart with his hair when he went to go pick up her cane for her. She's not dead, but very very hurt. This only increases Sef's rage even more.

THAT's the story.

Both of those explanations require a heavy dose of crack, LSD, pot, and vodka.

Are Cloud and Sephiroth the only two characters in the movie? Sure as hell seems like it.

[PK FIRE!]

Meh who cares FFVII is one of the worest FF games right nect to FFV and FFMQ. So I'm not even going to bother with it.

Nah.

[Falco53]

You guys are a bunch of pessimists. I see no reason to automatically assume that this movie will suffer from suction.

[PK FIRE!]

Hey! I'm a realistic pessimist! Get it right!

This movie is going to be great.. And I strongly disagree with anyone's opinions of FFVII being a bad game. You all know it is your mother, and yes.. she treats me nicely every night. O_O.. or I mean, I love the game to death.

^I don't hate Final Fantasy 7. I felt it was above average. I'm being pessimistic about the movie because the cast seems to consist of only Cloud and a female version of Sephiroth (Or Kuja in a Sephiroth suit. He wears make-up too) and Square-Enix seems to have completley ignored the "500 years later" part at the end of FF7. And Final Fantasy 7 is not the worst. You want worst? Then play Final Fantasy 2j. My brain is still recovering from the damage induced by it.

There are two types of people, pessimists, and optimists. Some people refer to themselves as realists, but they are really just members of one of the afformentioned groups, they just call themselves realists.

I feel like such a dork-- I haven't played FF7 yet.

Not everything is black and white, ya know.

FF7 was pretty good, but I like some other FFs(FF4, FF9) a lot more.

[imported_AJ Middleton]

I enjoyed FF7 a lot, but there was no need for a sequel. Especially for one that looks this ridiculous.
