Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

[ashuri2]

stop! don't overanalyze! you'll ruin the magic!

 

[Onigiri Chan]

Haha, there's no reason to overanalyze those games. Cloud's always pretty much pulls that giant sword outta' his *** anyways.
But don't beat out the magic. =p

 

[enix_fan]

-_-; There is speculation that it is not Sephy that cloud engages...thee is a scene in the trailer that may prove this...Sephy served no one and for him to kneel before someone is crazy talk...there is a belief that the short haired man in the trailer is another Sephy clone or Sephy's son...It is thought that the man he kneels before might be Sephy, if you check out the cloaked man's boots you will notice that they are similar to Sephy's boots from previous encounters...

I have also noticed that the short haired man resembles Sephy but not to the extent of being him...and he wields a different blade...not the masamune...although there is speculation that the blade he wields might be the masamune broke into two pieces and made into that sword.....but yeah...

The name Advent Children basically means "The Coming of Children" so we will have to wait till the m,ovie comes out to know for sure...

Wether there will be an American release is not set/is unknown...however the release for Japan is Summer of 2004, only on DVD....blah...I'm done....I hope this information helps ^_^;

you mean Loz.. the white haired guy I suppose thats' him fighting cloud on the motorcycle. I don't wanna give your hopes up *heard of spoilers*

 

[Nightwalker]

I just wanna say I can't wait till it comes out and does anyone know any of these questions I am going to ask:

1. When is it coming out in America or Canada?
2. Is it coming for DVD or PSP?

 

[phantasmagoria]

Kadaj is freakin hot. I'm gonna draw him! I want to know the British release date and eeeeep something just fell in my window... oh well, anyhoo I have the list of confirmed voice actors if anyone wants to know

1. In America (us) the release date: September 11th
2. DVD

 

[Hayai]

To Shas:
Im not sure if you have all ready found out yet, but if I am correct in understanding your question, Advent Children is a movie that takes place several years after the game ends. The characters are almost all the same, just with a twist to it. Basically a grahpics-galore extravaganza, but a must see in terms of content as well.

Can't wait to pick that up!!! Sept 11th I'm heading to the nearest Gamestop or something. I NEED THAT DVD!! T_T*

 

[Seui]

I don't know if everyone's up to date with AC, but...Advent Children takes place two years after the events that took place in FFVII. The three silver haired men (Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz) are brothers. Most of everyone will know this, but for those that don't, do now. There are two new scans that have surfaced, oh yeah, spoilers for those who want to know NOTHING!

Scan 1

Scan 2

FF7AC commercial

I'll edit this if I see some more unanswered stuff!

 

[kairi~vs~rinoa]

so when will the british release be? anyone know? i've been making my eyeballs bleed ever since i heard about it coming out from reading info on the net about it. i've printed out screenshots and blue-tac'd them to my bedroom door (yes, i'm that sad) and now i need the real thing.....
i adore the shot of cloud holding tifa in the daffodils, its beautiful

 

[dreamer]

now the movie's finally out...so what did you guys think about it?

 

[RockLee]

It rocked my socks off !!! Really good movie ! Worth the wait

 

[TwistedMac]

It rocked my socks off !!! Really good movie ! Worth the wait

Agreed. Very agreed.

 

[dreamer]

Still, the ending was quite long... ^^'
Something like 10 minutes xD

 

[White Comet]

haha downloading it atm..better be good

 

[Tsuyoiko]

I loved it. My favourite bit was the ringtone of the battle end tune. That was inspired! My brother-in-law didn't like it, but he has never played the games. Well, duh!

 

[Luthien Rogue]

Kadaj's voice actor was brilliant. o.o Him, Reno, Sephy, and Vincent were my favourites~ their personalities and voices fit so well. The story seemed to be... nonexistant XDDD but it was good. The graphics are amazing. The battle scenes.. best I've ever seen. It answered some questions from FFVII, but left us asking even more.

*nods fervently* I absolutely adore the seiryuu of Kadaj! The voices of everyone matched their characters so much! *giggles at how indignant Yuffie sounded when she asked Tifa about the materia* Reno's trademark 'zotto' (I'm not sure about the true pronunciation), Loz's 'asoubo?' as well as Vince's voice... all of them were really good.

And that's only the voice. The rendering of their graphics were amazing, the fight scenes jaw-dropping, and Sephiroth... *goes a drooling* My only complaint was that they don't get dirty or look hurt; there wasn't even any blood after getting 'stabbed'! Still, on hearing from my sis that you'll have to render and 'draw' the character all over again just to see the blood flowing or wrinkled shirt, I understood the reason immediately. Not surprising, it's already taken them so long to create this movie... to make it absolutely perfect will cause the fans to scream at the amount time they take to do it!

The ending was beautiful... for those who haven't watched it, let's just say that I'm like, 'awww...', and that's discounting the fact that I squealed on seeing those two people

 

[Luthien Rogue]

Yeah, I loved Reno's "zotto." I wonder how they'll translate that into English, though. I know some people translated it as "yo," and it make a lot of people mad.

About the blood: I doubt it had much to do with what you said, as it did with this: Their target audience is kids and teenagers, so they wanted to maintain a PG rating, as they do with all their games. Adding blood really isn't that difficult.. I mean, we do see blood in one scene, near the end. (don't want to spoil it for anyone..)

 

[Gaki]

I didnt like it, i think i set my expectations too high and it didnt live up to them.
Although i gotta say that the animation was amazing, sometimes it didnt feel like watching an animation but more like a live action.

Also thought the OVA (Last Order) was a bit boring as well.

Although really i wasnt much of a fan of FF7 in the first place, prefered FF6 more.

 

[Luthien Rogue]

Edit -- double post, sorry.

 

[Luthien Rogue]

-SPOILERS for Last Order in my post!!-

Haha, Last Order was crap. So many inconsistencies when compared to the original game:

-Tifa's dad being in the wrong spot when she finds him.
-Sephiroth jumping into the Lifestream (after he stabbed Cloud and Cloud threw him using the momentum of the sword, Sephy was supposed to fall into the Lifestream)
-The fight between Sephiroth and Cloud not being on the catwalk.
-Tifa's huge nose XDDD
-Spelling inconsistencies: seeing Zack and Zax on the same page of the reports was a bit odd.

etc... I didn't really like the style or the animation, either. :\ Some parts were lazy and lacking frames.

You're telling me that in a game where the final boss you fight is a clone of the original "man"

Ok, please, take a moment and be enlightened: Yahoo | Mail, Weather, Search, Politics, News, Finance, Sports & Videos

Safer Sephiroth was not a clone of Sephiroth... and when they say "Sephiroth Clone" in the game, they're talking about people who were injected with J-Cells and infused with Mako as Sephiroth had been. They aren't actually clones of Sephiroth.

did anyone see that cloud pulls out a sword out of nowhere during the fight where the silverhaired guy hits the buster sword out of his hand?

What people thought was his "backpack" is actually a device to carry his many swords. He has another sword in it during the fight: http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/5233/sword1no.png

 

[isayhello]

Kadaj turned me on. Seriously. His voice actor did the most amazing job. And... whoever designed his character... Err.

This movie is good. I liked it a lot.

 

[nadeshiko]

*giggles* Yep isayhello, Kadaj is my man! *drools*

Okay, that silly exclamation aside, I've recently chanced upon this site, and the explanation it gave on Cloud's swords had me going 'wow'. Admittedly, I had been fascinated with how his swords could all be combined into such a cool one, but never had I thought that someone would actually go... er, investigate on how it is all done. It was a kinda good report, so anyone who wants to read it could probably go check it out:
