Title: Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Post by: Pikari on September 14 2005, 10:47 am
It's out! Took them long enough to finally release it, but you can download it at http://mininova.org ... there's subbed versions already too.

Three words: Oh. My. God.

It's BEAUTIFUL! I'm not even a great fan of the game (never even finished it  :sweatdrop: ), but this movie was just awesome, and well worth the wait. Awesome fight scenes, music, voice acting (and a Maaya Sakamoto cameo as Aerith ^_~).

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, it's the computer-animated movie sequel to FF7. The plot is that there's these Sephiroth clones(?) trying to steal back Jenova from Shinra, so they recruit Cloud to try to stop them (er, sorta... and the clones were already after Cloud in the first place......I only picked up half the plot watching it in Japanese and not being all that familiar with the game ending, so...). Not that the plot really matters, as its so frickin beautiful! I'd recommend it even if you haven't played the game.

Anyone seen it yet? *looks around* Someone's gotta be an FF fan here.......

Ugh... damn it. The US release was delayed several times already. What the heck is S-E thinking? They're just getting the FF fans in America (and/or other fans in other countries) more frustrated. -.-" I cant download it it, stupid dialup

I love the voice actors~ So far I only have the trailers of it from IGN. :shifty:

Well, I'm finally gonna download it (that is, if the torrent is faster than the release date closing in  -_-), but still, when it comes out in DVD, I'll buy it. I'm a big FF fan and I'd feel bad just downloading a ripped version (besides, my monitor ain't that great  :wink:)

For some reason Bittorrent doesn't work on my computer.
So much for seeing it early....
Know of any direct link sites? I'm dying here!

Seriously though... I want to see what Square-Enix is going to say about this fan-subbed situation... I mean, it would mean even if there were a US release date, would people still want to buy it? Even if that was a yes, it's a downfall in profit for it. Lol

But nonetheless, I won't deny the fact I would want to see it anyway. BUt I prefer the DVD Box :keke:
Title: Re: Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Post by: Pikari on September 14 2005, 01:09 pm
Heh... I was reading a couple reviews and seems there's a lot of complaining about the lack of plot and unrealistic battle scenes. :lol: Ha... but they're obviously never meant to be realistic, that's the fun of it. Lots of Matrix-y like stuff.

Weren't the US and Japanese supposed to be released at the same time at one point? The release dates were changed so many times, I don't even know. Well, too many people are going to be impatient and download, I suppose. ^^;;

Endoh: I don't know of any direct downloads. The DVD quality movie was 700+ MB. @_@ Took me about a day and a half on a cable connection getting it from Bittorrent...
Title: Re: Final Fantasy: Advent Children

Holy crap!
Hehe...I guess I'll wait for the DVD then...

Or just punch a hole in my monitor, whichever comes first haha!

The one I downloaded was the bien-xvid-ff7 file. Raw video with attachable subtitles, meaning you need vobsub plugin. But the subtitles were good. (haven't watched it all with subs, but what I saw). Can't speak for any of the others.

that makes no sense. People will download the FFVII movie because they are fans. And as Fans they will buy teh DVDs, if ANYTHING it will be a huge rise in DVD profits because FFVII has such a huge fanbase. Its like saying you can download FFVII the actual game, You've been able to for ages now, but thier profits are still increasing because some people are still buying them.

From this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, IGN put the latest subtitled trailer for Advent Children. The known release date for the movie at the time was:

September 13 - US Release Date
September 14 - Japan Release Date

And with the delays that S-E made for the US release date, yeah there ought to be complaints. Lol.

VexNet: My bad, it was rather late and the that was the first thing that came to mind. :lol: US DVD Box might not include the same features as the Japanese get though, as noted from quite a nuimber of fansites... but the company didn't confirm anything yet.

I bought the rather mouth-watering FF7 Advent Children Advent Pieces limited Edition set that cost a bomb (over $321). Tried to cancel it at the last minute coz I had second thoughts at the amount of money I was spending, but they already sent it a few days before it was due to be released! Fate I assume. It is expected to arrive tomorrow (no doubt with a hefty customs charge tagged to it)... Oh well.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Post by: monkey on September 16 2005, 02:45 am
I am also a HUGE FF Fan who LOVED the orginal game (played it WELL OVER 100 hours +++)
couldn't get enough of it.

i just don't know about a few things from the movie...
Show content
like how teh hell did Cloud survive being shot in the head right at the very start!? [/spolier]
-

and Reno made me laugh too :D
Show content
Loved the first part where Cloud meets them and he goes in teh door and Reno tries to fight him and he gets locked out XD haha and when he kept saying things through the door. And boy he says "YO" a lot XD but still throughout the movie he was entertaining :D
-

my subs went off screen a few times but i got the drift.

one thing i also didn't get (havn't played FF7 in a while)
Show content
there was a wolf that you see throughout the movie. (not red stupid!) but he was around where Aerith died and also around where cloud was in his "whiteness vision"
-

 
Show content
And who else loved the part of Seeing Aerith at the very end with Zack? YEAH!! and i also liked it when Aerith helped Cloud jump up to slice that Bahumat in half too, I thought that was really sweet!. I think Cloud really loved her, But to the end is Cloud calling Aerith his mother? that left me contemplating. But i know there was definatly some sort of love between the two. Aerith is my fav Femaie character in FFVII!
-

and how can i not mention Cloud's amazing Splitting Sword? HELL YEA !!!
Show content
Man i loved seeing cloud juggle around his swords. Remmember the part when He was Fighting Sephiroth at the end and he made his Blades appear all around Sephiroth and he kept slicing him, man that was sweet!
-

plus they had the Long-Awaited-Good-Graphics fight that i had been waiting for. And that THEME !!! God i love his Orchestral Theme XD
(Yea you know which part i'm on about  :wink: )
Show content
When Kudaj drank the JENOVA Juice (yea thats what i call it  :tongue3: ) and turned into Sephiroth, That was a AWESOME Fight. The One i've been waiting for years!! Best Fight in the Movie, Like when Cloud was standing on his sword (when he jabbed it into the wall) and Sephiroth made teh tower fall down) that was pretty nifty too.
-

i'm gonna watch that movie again!

maybe it seems a bit saying too, but teh credits where REALLY COOL!!!

Yeah, I thought that was odd that they hardly showed ANY blood. Toward the end, too, when someone (think it was Sephiroth, don't remember) stabbed Cloud straight through the shoulder, and there was no blood at all. o_O I guess Cloud is just indestructible. :lol:
The wolf confused me too.

And I loved that guy's cell phone ringtone. :lol:

Got the Advent pieces limited edition stuff today and the box was bloody massive! Then again, it has to be big enough to fit the rather cool Cloud and Fenrir figure set which took up half the box. Have yet to watch it coz I'm busy with stuff, but I hope to watch it with my sister this evening.

OK, now where should I stash it?

Yep, those sunglasses must of been pretty darn tough to survive a shot at such close range,

I always loved his Bike teh Fenrir. Its awesome! All those blades that come out from the sides. And how his sword could plit apart. Kinda made up for his sword changes in the actual game (although it would be cool if you could get cloud in the game to use two swords!!

I always think Cloud was in Love with Aerith, Then again Aerith was always my fav Female character. I think most guys went for Tifa just because of her huge boobs, But unlike Aerith Tifa was pretty annoying. Aerith was sweet and cute and just wonderful :D lol
woo Aerith + Cloud :D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Post by: Bao_Nhia_Yang on September 17 2005, 12:42 pm
the movie was GREAT!! but i got the unsubbed version :( too lazy to get the subbed one now... *sigh*

i actually liked tifa better.. cause she seemed more of a fighter... then again.. i don't know what aeris/aerith does.. cause i've never played the game..
Title: Re: Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Post by: Feathered Dreams on September 18 2005, 08:25 am
Come to think of it, I can't remember what Aerith did in combat :D But it was great seeing all the characters again. I liked VII, but the graphics really threw me off (I played it after VIII), also, I never managed to beat Sephiroth in his One-Winged Angel form, so I dunno what happened in the end  :dodge:

Since I haven't played it in such a long time, there were several things I had forgotten, like who the hell those kids were (I 'remembered' really late into the movie) and what had happened to Jenova (I couldn't even remember what Sephiroth had to do with her, just that he was some sort of experiment). But even so, the movie was great  :keke:

********SPOILER********
Who was Zack? The only partner I remember from when Cloud was a Soldier is Sephiroth, was he with them when they visited Cloud's town? And I'm guessing that thing he does in the end against Sephiroth (the part when his sword breaks apart into several others) was some sort of Omni-Slash, can't say for sure though, since I never saw it in the game  :sweatdrop:

(Sorry about the spoiler thing, I haven't figured out how to hide these things yet)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy: Advent Children

For the spoiler, just use this: [ spoiler ] insert spoiler here [/ spoiler ] (without spaces)

I don't know who Zack is, I frankly don't really care. lolz. And from what my friend had told me, Aerith played the White Mage role, or something like that.

i finally saw Advent Children last night.. but it was without sub-titles..

it was so good!! i love the graphics... and i actually like those bad guys "Silverhair gang" they looked so cool!

my lil bro. said Zack was the guy who appeared along with Aeriths at the end of the movie.. and he also said, Cloud is a clone of Zack..
Title: Re: Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Post by: monkey on September 18 2005, 11:19 pm
Who was Zack? The only partner I remember from when Cloud was a Soldier is Sephiroth
Cloud was never in SOLDIER, (remmember in the movie they called him a "Would-Be" Ex-SOLDIER)

Heres an explanation from someone who has played the game properly:
Cloud basically in the FF7 Game is a friend of Zack and is going through an identity crisis because Cloud tried to sign up to join SOLDIER but he was turned down (cloud was however a Shinra soldier, just not the SOLDIER like Sephiroth was in). Cloud believes he was the one who did all the Shinra Missions along side his hero: Sephiroth (Sephiroth was legendary SOLDIER, everyone looked up to him), But that was actually Zack, Cloud just has his memory because when Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth went back to Nibelheim (all three of them were sent on the mission. Two SOLDIERS and a Shinra Soldier. You know this because Sephiroth complained a lot on the fact they had sent a rookie with them (that was Cloud)) Sephiroth Burned down the town then Zack and Cloud were taken away and experimented on. This is where Cloud started to experiance a problem with his memory. It became hard for him to remmember what had heppend in his past. But he got memories of Zack in SOLDIER and accidently got them confused with his own memories. So he thought everything Zack did was actually what he did.

Confusing aint it?

Cloud: Blonde Spikey Hair
Zack: Black Spikey Hair
Sephiroth: Long White Hair

what had happened to Jenova (I couldn't even remember what Sephiroth had to do with her, just that he was some sort of experiment).

remmember in the movie you see Jenova fly through space and earth captures it?
Before Sephiroth's birth, Hojo and Lucrecia were working as assistants to Professor Gast, Shin-Ra's top scientist, on the Jenova Project. The project studied the remains of an extra-terrestrial entity known as Jenova, which was mistakenly thought to be one of the Cetra (remmember, Aerith was the last remaining Cetra Descendent), an ancient people of the world that the game takes place in. Wishing to create a modern day Ancient, and believing that the blood of the Cetra was what would do this rather than the lifestyle of the Cetra, Hojo injected cell samples from Jenova into Sephiroth while he was in Lucrecia's womb.

I'm guessing that thing he does in the end against Sephiroth (the part when his sword breaks apart into several others) was some sort of Omni-Slash, can't say for sure though, since I never saw it in the game :sweatdrop:
It was Cloud's Limit Break specifically for the Movie

no problem, I love to look more into the Final Fantasy stories, FFVII was pretty complex and I'm still finding new things out about it even today.

I have a feeling that that wolf in Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children is actually Fenrir's Spirit, Because If you have tried searching Fenrir on Google you get images of the same wolf in Final Fantasy XI so it could be a homage or something similiar, What are your thoughts?

A friend of mine told me that the wolf was meant to symbolize Zax watching over him. o_O

Anyone seen Last Order yet? The anime piece that shows a bit of Cloud and Zax's background. That's really nice as well!

3- FFVII Never associated Zack with a wolf, But I'll look into it.

1. [edit] Hmm... okay, I swear I saw it as "Zax" somewhere. It sounded like the Japanese actors pronounce it "Zakusu". Maybe I'm wrong... I swear that's what it said on his personnel file in LO, but the credits are different. *shrugs*  *is now confused* And I liked it as Zax.........  :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop:

2. Last Order was a short animation released alongside AC, that shows the events leading up to Zack's death: http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=last+order

3. *shrugs* I have no idea. That's just what someone told me.

Can't play FF7... *cries* stupid memory card compatibility!!

I love FF8 also, I played it over so many times... O_O. And have you heard about FF12's battle engine!?!? I was in shock when I read about it.

You know, I'd just like to quote what someone said about the 'Compiltation of FFVII'...

Quote
"You know, I think Square Enix is over doing it a bit? I mean... I think FF7 has been overrated. Look at this... it's the original first which a lot of people loved... several years later, it's Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, Before Crisis, Crisis Core.... I mean honestly, I think they're overdoing it a bit. But don't get me wrong, I love FF7. It's just a personal opinion."

I remembered someone was saying something about it and I was kinda interested if anyone wanted to say anything about it. :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Post by: monkey on September 22 2005, 09:48 am
they are going over the top, but in a good way, I won't be getting DoC (Vincent never really interested me) But i do like the Turks and all, So Crisis Core and Before Crisis look good, Shame i have no mobile -_- but teh PSP looks more and more promising.

I like the FFXII Battle Engine, They needed a change to the series like that. I think its a Good move.

Hey, now I never said I wasn't a Final Fantasy fan! My problem is I'm not so much of a gamer. I love the plots and characters of the FF games.... its only that I'll get two-thirds through a game and get frustrated with the battles and technical aspects of it and end up never finishing. I did watch my sister finish FFVII, its just been a very long time. So you see, Final Fantasy as an anime is just what I've always been waiting for. (Also explains why I bought FFX as a VCD with all the dialogue scenes instead of the actual game) :sweatdrop:

OMG The Spirits Within movie, was to me, retarded. And I saw it not so long ago. I was just flipping through the movie channels until I saw it. I was like, "...what is this?"

So I looked around a few FF sites that covered it: http://www.ffinsider.net/tsw/

I duno about you, the synopsis there wasn't that appealing either. lol. But I'll end it but just saying I didn't like the movie. x_x;;

(Also explains why I bought FFX as a VCD with all the dialogue scenes instead of the actual game) :sweatdrop:

LOL! You know, i wanted to do that too. But why buy it when you can get it off sites like http://filefront.com/ :lol: the people who rip those v-clips off the game rock :P

The only FF game I actually finished was FF8. It's sad....

But Im straying off the topic. o_o"

there are different files to download and some don't have subtitles or are in fact different movies (only happened once in 200 movie downloads) but the downlload only takes 5 hours

I have BearShare and I tried looking for it subtitled.
Either it wouldn't let me download, or it was either a completely different video (that I would have prefered NEVER seeing, hehe) or it was just a trailer that took 5 hours to download, haha.
I'm still trying, but yeah, it isn't the best.
Not even close, hehe.

any idea if there will be a OST for it?

also, what is the relationship between Denzel and Tifa? mother and son??

Cloud's new version of Omnislash is called
Show content
Choukyuu Bushin Hakuzan Ver. 5

Literal English is "Super-ultimate War God Supreme Kill Version Five". Of course, in FFVII, "Choukyuu Bushin Hakuzan" was transliterated as "Omnislash", so... "Omnislash Ver. 5".

As for the sword...

Show content
First Tsurugi

Translates to English as "First Sword"

Just going on the safe side.

No, Denzel and Tifa aren't mother and son. But I'll speculate anyway. Denzel is just an orphan. Tifa is one of the caretakers (along with Cloud). Same goes for Marlene and the rest of the kids. Denzel was the one that was sick so...

Cloud was riding on his motorcycle on a road. At some part, you'll see Aerith just gazing across the fields
The movie's really great~! I give it 10/10~!! I miss playing FF7 now :)

Marlene is the adopted daughter for Barrett. He decided to look after the child when he felt responsible for Dyne's death. (Dyne is Marlene's real father) during the North Coral Fire (the same fire that destroyed Barratt's hometown and killed his wife Myrna). Barrett in FF7 actually found out Dyne didn't die but he did have to have a Gun arm (Dyne's Gunarm was on teh opposite arm that Barratt's was) and at thier last encounter Barratt blames Dyne for ruining the town because he never returned, he just abandoned them. Barrett felt betrayed so Barrett Killed Dyne.

Actually, Barret didn't kill Dyne. They fought, yeah, but Dyne said something about how even if he were to go back to Marlene, she wouldn't even recognize him, so he commited suicide by jumping off the cliff...
....or something like that. >_<

Yay! I finally saw Advent Children! ....but it wasn't subtitled so I'm still not 100% sure what the hell was going on, haha.
But from what I saw, I absolutely loved it! ^_^

Has anyone seen the parody subtitles that are out for this?

Comedy gold. Especially the introduction and the confrontation between Rufus and Cloud. xD

Haha, I loved that part!
I was watching it with my brother and he was like, "....Where have I heard that before?"
SO I smacked him across the head, "It's the victory theme, smart stuff!"

Now I want that for my ringtone, hehe.

I'm dying to see Final fantasy: Advent children unfortuely for me i have to wait a bit longer until it comes out i've seen portions of the movie on music videos and stuff and i have to say i'm impressed the cgi is so cool it makes me think of how much the other final fantasy the sprits within kinda blowed.

here's a link to one of the music videos i was talking about it rocks the music is a bit dark but it fits with the whole dark and moody scenes.

I've just watched the movie and the fighting scenes are great, specially the final confrontation. I've noticed that Keith Sith doesn't have that white mokona like thing in the movie, you just see him clinging on Red.

Cait Sith? He was a puppet that was used by Shinra. I'm pretty sure they destroyed him since he was only a doll.

I guess he was  :lol:. Though they left out the cat part of Cait Sith, not like he can fight since he's just a small cat now  :lol: but I guess he can still throw those little dice of doom  :lol:.

I just watched the movie today and its fantastic.  :hello2: The fight scenes were spectacular!  :noteworthy: It was better than Sprits Witihin for me. It made me want to play FFVII again because the I've forgotten a lot of the story already. I hope this movie does well.  :okay: They might get inspired to make FFVIII which is my favorite!  :hehe:
