Title: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 08, 2009, 12:43:12 pm
Has anyone heard about this? If not and you are a Final Fantasy fan, this is must-know information. They are releasing the Complete Edition on Blu-Ray, and it will have 30 minutes of extra scenes. If just reading that doesn't whet your appetite, check out this trailer for the new release!

Enormous Epic Bazooka anyone! Ooooh, I can't wait. Japan gets it in April, and there's no release date for the US yet, but hopefully soon!

Post by: nikkiolie on February 08, 2009, 03:55:14 pm
I knew there was a reason that was going to keep me from seeing it x.x

Oh well it comes out this year in Japan right? Well I should be able to download it somewhere off the internet. :P

damn them! if we get this then we'll have gotten 3 copys of this, cuz we got the first edition then the colectors with last order, sigh and we even have the ps3 to use it on

o.o I wanna know how Rude was able to keep that Epic Enormous Bazooka on his shoulder. XD Damn, this makes me want to finish a couple cosplays of mine.

I know, don't you just love how they do that?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 08, 2009, 07:56:38 pm
Then you can just have the ultimate collection! It's worth buying each one of for the extras and stuff.

ditto. this is one of those rare things that i will actually like having all the releases of. just to show off how much of a devoted nerd fan i am, hahaha

Yeah maybe I will get it :P

I haven't even bought the Lord of the Rings yet. sigh

SHAME!

Nah, I kid, but really, Lord of the Rings is a must-have in my opinion. Just like Advent Children, haha.

sadly with our post wedding bugget is pretty small and i just got a gackt single and v day is coming up

Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 08, 2009, 10:41:44 pm
Well, it won't even be out in the US for quite a few months, I'm sure. You'll have a while, Jaz.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Syd-chan on February 09, 2009, 07:56:31 am
Hm. How long do you think it'll take to get online?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 08:08:03 am
I'm sure it will be about a week or so :P
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 10:15:09 am
Oh, yeah, the original version will be online probably around April, when it is released in Japan. Won't take long for someone to rip it, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 11:05:31 am
oh god no, it wont take long at all. It wouldn't surprise me if it is on the internet before it is released.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 11:13:09 am
Yeah, it's possible. I know back when Advent Children was initially released I didn't end up downloading it until after it was released in Japan, but maybe I just waited until I pre-ordered it, I can't remember.

Even if it is made available online before, I will probably do that again. I just feel better knowing I've paid, at least.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 11:16:37 am
well I have no way of playing blu-ray....so I would have to download it. If I did have a blu-ray player I would buy it ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 11:19:20 am
Yeah, I would be in the same boat except my family decided to buy a PS3 last week. I'm still hoping they release it on DVD also, because I don't really care for Blu-Ray, not yet anyway. I think it's a cool supplemental form of technology, but I don't want to think I'll have to replace my DVD collection any time soon.

Well, here's hoping it comes out on both formats.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 11:26:31 am
From what I understand it will only be on blu-ray....I hope they release it on DVD as well....I would buy it then ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 11:30:10 am
Yeah, well you can always hope for a later development on DVD.

But anyway, I'm really keyed up by that trailer! Extended Sephiroth/Cloud fight scene! Denzel vs. Shadowcrawler! Craziness, lqtm.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 11:32:52 am
yeah that fight between Cloud and Seph was intense. My favorite part was when Sephiroth had him in the air on his sword. Pretty sweet
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 11:37:43 am
Yeah, that scene particularly was a great momentary nod back to their history together (back in Nibelheim Sephiroth did the exact same thing to Cloud). And it showed how ridiculously strong Sephiroth was (but then again, everyone seems to be pretty mighty, huh? People launching others into the air and whatnot, lqtm). It is Final Fantasy after all, haha.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 03:02:31 pm
yeah and remember what Cloud did to him the last time he did that? Pretty much the same thing that happened in AC XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 03:32:47 pm
Yeah, I love finding those little allusions and tie-ins. Makes it even more enjoyable. ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 03:33:37 pm
yeah it does. I really want to see this now DX
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Syd-chan on February 09, 2009, 07:31:52 pm
XD There should totally be some kind of viewing party for this, whether it be after the English release[hopefully], or after we get it overseas. Even Blu Ray. o.o Maybe at KumoriCon or something~
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 07:35:18 pm
yeah that would be nice, if they showed it in one of the viewing rooms O.O
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 08:25:20 pm
That would be a great idea for a viewing room. IF not, I know Kahlan and I will be having a party for it for sure whenever it is available.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!

oh you know it >.O
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 08:34:31 pm
Whooo! You should totally make an Advent Children cake for it! Or we can make themed drinks, like Lifestream or Mako Droppers, lol.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 09, 2009, 08:51:15 pm
or both ^.^ i was just thinking about what cake to make for that... *ponders* moogle would be cute, or a buster sword... idk... hehe
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 08:54:56 pm
You could make materia cupcakes, or a cake of the Shinra logo.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 09, 2009, 08:59:37 pm
OMG if you did that I would totally go ;D

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO IT!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 09, 2009, 09:09:08 pm
See, you've got demand now. You have to do it! lqtm
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 09, 2009, 10:18:57 pm
oh i will. i will make something... not sure if it will be a cake, cupcakes, or some other form of dessert, but i will make something >.O
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 07:10:33 am
Sweet. I will so be there then. I want to see this really badly now DX

Count me in!

See? Already we have a small party ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Syd-chan on February 10, 2009, 02:55:14 pm
XD oh, shinra cake ftw. 8D I'd come!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 04:37:31 pm
I would want the cupcakes :P
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:22:34 pm
Yeah, they all sound like great ideas, but I think I'd be particularly interested in mixing up some Lifestream for drinks, haha. Any suggestions for things people like to drink that could be worked with?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:26:10 pm
if you could get some blue raspberry drink mix that might work...maybe mix it with sprite or something?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:30:00 pm
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Heck, there is even a flavor of Sierra Mist (or something) that is light blue/green and could work.

Oooh, we could even make potions! And Ethers! Ooh, I'm making all this crap now.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:31:05 pm
sounds like a plan. XD

God I can't wait for this to come out.

O.O Maybe we can take your ps3 to my house and play it on the projector >_> just an idea though :P
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:32:18 pm
Yeah, that sounds like as great an idea as any. Massive-screen Advent Children!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:33:18 pm
I just didn't know how you felt about moving your ps3 ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:35:42 pm
Oh, I'm fine with moving it. I trust myself to take great care of my stuff when it is in transit.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:36:11 pm
alright then we should have it at my house then ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:38:18 pm
Coool, well depending on day or time we may still have a hangout and viewing at Kahlan's house, in case some of our other friends aren't free on whatever day it will be at your place.

But it sounds good! I know I could never get tired of it, so more viewings are fine with me!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:39:17 pm
yeah it is totally up to you. I mean you thought of it so whenever you want to do it is fine with me. I was just throwing out a suggestion ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:41:01 pm
Yeah, of course. Thanks for volunteering your place. I'll wait to decide a date until we at least know the release date of the film, lol.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:41:57 pm
sounds good to me ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:43:12 pm
Cooool.  ;D

So, if there was one scene you would like to see extended, which one would it be? (Ignore the trailer if possible, heh)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:48:56 pm
the Cloud Seph fight or the bike fights are always good
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:50:37 pm
Yeah, those would be pretty awesome. I'd also like to see more of the Bahamut-Shin battle, or the Cloud vs. Kadaj fight. I just want to see more of Red XIII, he seems to get left out a lot, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:51:34 pm
yeah he does....I just want to see more :P

oh and Tifa/Loz fight too
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:56:30 pm
Yeah, that one would be nice too.

Lessee, what would some of my dream scenes be?

I'd like to see the remains of Jenova, the head in the box, I really want that to be visibly involved in a scene somewhere.

I'd also like to see more of the Turks as a unit, not just individually. (But I guess that's what Before Crisis is for, right? Darn cellphone games!)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 09:57:34 pm
yes I agree with both of those. I think the whole thing will be great. I may have to watch it again this weekend (the original not complete :P)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 09:59:27 pm
Yeah, of course. I'm just stoked for the new changes, whatever they may be.

And I plan to watch the original pretty soon too. The trailer got me in the mood for it.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 10:00:23 pm
tell me about it. Though it is a little hard to see Cloud being all big and bad after playing Crisis Core XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 10:05:02 pm
haha, that is a good point. I don't think I've watched Advent Children since I last finished Crisis Core. I hadn't thought about seeing Cloud as a young runt dragging away the Buster Sword in one place and then seeing him as the ultimate god-hewing hero in another, haha. That would be an interesting transition.

Speaking of transitions, here is what I want: A Final Fantasy VII movie. They keep saying they may or may not remake FFVII for the PS3. I don't want another game, I want them to make the original story into a movie. Then the story would transition perfectly. I could play Crisis Core, watch FFVII, then watch AC. It'd be perfect, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 10:06:18 pm
I would love it if they made a movie....or even made it into a book ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 10:08:48 pm
Ooh, a book would be nice. What format do you think it would take. Like novel or play/script?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 10:09:28 pm
I would want it a novel....maybe from either Cloud's pov or Tifa's
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 10:10:21 pm
That'd be really cool. I'd love to read it, but it would have to be official. I really can't stand fanfiction, lol.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 10:10:46 pm
yeah official would be nice, hell a manga would be nice too :P
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 10:13:10 pm
Yeah, that would work well too. I think an art style similar to that in Ragnarok would work well with FFVII. That has a rich fantasy air about it, but there is also the style of Blame, which would depict the dismal, darkness of Midgar really well.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 10:15:06 pm
it would be nice to have the same artwork that they used for Crisis Core like this one

(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mypsp.com.au%2Fimg%2Fnews%2FCrisis-Core-coming-to-Australia-via-Ubisoft-1.jpg&hash=42f8cdf53fde0cf22add687a4dc9b1cab4b5e86d)

that art style is so beautiful
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 10:17:18 pm
I actually am not too fond of that art style. The artistic direction that the character designer took starting with Kingdom Hearts has not been much to my liking. Just my preference of course, but everyone just looks so rigid and angular. *shrug* My opinion. I'm just a fan of his older artwork.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 10:18:02 pm
I guess I see what you are talking about. I'm sure if they did make a manga the art would be flawless ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 10:23:53 pm
Yeah, I'd check the manga out regardless just because it was FF, but like I said, that was just my viewpoint. As long as people like the art, that's all that matters.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 10:24:32 pm
hell the art doesn't even really matter too much, as long as the story is good I am happy ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 10:28:49 pm
Yeah, if a story is strong enough and I have enough connection with it, I will read it regardless.

That doesn't apply to new things I read though. I can't pick a book up off the shelf having never heard of it before and enjoy it if the art is not to my liking. I have to be drawn to the aesthetic before I can enjoy the story.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 10, 2009, 10:31:31 pm
I know what you are talking about. My parents buy me books all the time and I am not typically interested in them so I don't end up reading it XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 10, 2009, 10:34:15 pm
haha, but you have to keep them around so as not to appear rude or ungrateful. ^_^ We've all had situations like that at some point.

So, this may be a bit off-topic, but anyone know about The Black Mages? Nobuo Uematsu's progressive metal band that strictly covers Final Fantasy music? They are amazing! Check them out if you have any appreciation for Uematsu's work on the FF series.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 11, 2009, 03:19:20 am
can't wait for this to come out and we'll have an epic release party ^.^

and yes, ffvii movie would be amazing! *hopes for it but knows we won't get it* lol. and book would be great too. that mini novel that came with the special edition of ac was pretty awesome, so i know they can do it, it's just a matter of if they ever would >.> manga would be amazing too... oh so many things they could do, but will they? that is the question... hehe

aaand, black mages are awesome! i loves them ^.^ also, super excited for july when we get to see the ff symphony/orchestra "distant worlds" ohhh it'll be amazing XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 11, 2009, 06:18:52 am
Yeah! Final Fantasy concert! That will be most epic! I still need to figure out what formal cosplay I could do.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Syd-chan on February 11, 2009, 07:13:29 am
EEEEH? Black Mages?! Damn, I should look that up when I get home. I think I may have seen a couple videos with them now that I think about it, but ehhhh.

Final Fantasy VII movie? Aw, man. XD could they cover more than one disc in the movie? ....gah, I might not want to see some of the scenes.

>> I'm not sure if it's okay to mention here, but since it IS AC, whatever~

:/ if they made a movie, I'd be interested to see Aerith's death scene. The graphic didn't quite do it for me in vii, as Cloud totally walked through Aerith's body. ^^;;
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 11, 2009, 07:53:31 am

not sure who I would cosplay though >_>

I would have to get help with that. But I do love cloud >_>

Maybe for Kumoricon ;D

Yeah, if they did do a movie of FFVII, of course I would hope they would cover everything that happened in the game, small and major details and events alike. I could see that movie being broken into several parts, like Lord of the Rings or Narnia, because it is absolutely epic. There are hours and hours of potential in that game (obviously, I mean it did take 40 hours or so to play through, lol, not that it would be a direct verbatim transfer into film or anything).

And yeah, you should totally check out The Black Mages. For an example of what they are like, they did "Advent: One-Winged Angel" from AC.

Nikki: Well, you should cosplay the one you want, although both are pretty cool.  Any ideas on the Buster Sword? XD;;;

That's a scene that should totally get a misplaced flashback scene in AC, lol.

Tifa: "Cloud, you look great on your new bike...but not as great as back in the Wall Market. Remember?"
Cloud: *thinks back* ".......Don't remind me."

So I know Kahlan has, but has anyone else read the little FFVII:AC novella that came with the extended edition? I read Barret's part but haven't finished the whole book yet. Curious what people think about it.

I call shenanigans! I don't have a #$^&# blu-ray player! Raaagh......that sounds nice, too! I hate progressive technology...stop making things obsolete before they actually are. There is nothing wrong with DVD.....and it's all I've got, lol.

Well, news-wise, yeah, that sounds awesome. Though this is strike 2 for Square as far as I'm concerned. They keep on singling out people who are running on old technology and I'm not gonna be able to support them, even if I wanted to.

haha, I totally almost kinda contradicted myself. Well, circumstances change.

For the record, I didn't buy a Blu-Ray player, nor did I buy my PS3. I simply received one, so....I didn't completely contradict myself.

I wish I could have a ps3....but I think I rather have a 360 more, now that ffXIII is coming out on both of them ;D

Post by: EveofAbyss on February 13, 2009, 11:18:02 pm
Yeah, I still have not seen any games for the Xbox that are really calling out to me, so I'm glad I have the PS3. FFXIII is an obvious one, but there are quite a few games for this console that make me feel like it is worthwhile (Motorstorm, Little Big Planet, Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed, God of War III, The Last Remnant). I'm sure some of those are also on Xbox, but I just like to stick with the Playstation, heh.

What if it came out for PSP, too! You mentioned watching AC on your PSP during working out, and that reminded me that that's a great idea, lol. I would love to get a hold of AC:Complete on PSP for workout-watching.

I usually need music to keep me moving and energized while working out, but I bet those fight scenes would be epic enough to keep me going, for sure, haha. Doing the eliptical, I could just pretend I'm racing up the side of the Shinra building, chasing Sephiroth! lol (That was too nerdy...)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 13, 2009, 11:24:04 pm
only slightly nerdy ;)

I'm sure they will release it on DVD as well, but maybe not right way...who knows =/

and it was kinda easy to work out to AC. I felt like I wasn't paying enough attention to my workout so it seemed too easy though :P
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 13, 2009, 11:26:16 pm
Ooh, really? Sometimes zoning out like that is the only thing that can bring me through my workout. Some days every step is a struggle, heh.

I think I may go watch AC. I've been craving it all week.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 13, 2009, 11:28:30 pm
yeah this past week workout was hard for me but those ones that are hard make you burn more. Not sure how that works but I remember reading that. A workout should be difficult and tiring and I didn't think that last one was.

My two copies of the movie are in Corvallis so if I want to watch it I have to wait =/
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 13, 2009, 11:46:35 pm
Yeah, I know that it is the hardest part of a workout that benefits you the most. I think it has something to do with (when weight-lifting, anyway) the muscles being torn, and the last most difficult reps tear the muscles the most, everything up to that point is just build-up, so to speak. I assume it is similar with cardio.

And that stinks about your copies of AC. So where are you now? Are you out here for the weekend?

What do you think he would do?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 14, 2009, 08:30:00 pm
I actually could see him "settling down" so to speak, and opening up a little shop in partnership with Tifa's Seventh Heaven, where he would teach and train proper materia use. I can just see him, the experienced warrior settling down and seeking a quiet life with close friends and family. Also, there is the tutorial scene in the Seventh Sector where he teaches limit breaks and materia (I know it was just a tutorial for the player, but still...).

But yeah, I could definitely see him nestling into common life with Tifa, Denzel, Marlene, and Barret, teaching all the orphans about materia and preparing them for life in the society of the reformed Shinra Corp.

agreed. i thought all the voice actors were pretty perfect for their parts. i don't use the subs cause i watch it with english audio... but the english voice actors fit the characters really well, imo.

It took me a few viewings to really catch on to the English voice they had for Sephiroth, I'll admit. I had been watching the Japanese version downloaded for so long before the US version was even released that I really got attached to the original voice of Sephiroth. That deep, slow, hollow sounding voice is just so perfect for him, and I was disappointed in the English version at first, but it eventually won me over. Now I love it, can't find a thing wrong with his voice or anyone else's.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 16, 2009, 08:13:06 am
Yeah I like his english voice really well. I thought they did a good job with all of them. Clouds voice is good to ^_^.

A voice that took me a little while to get used to was Zack's in Crisis Core...but we are good now XD

Yup, I think everything's nifty as it is.

A voice that took me a little while to get used to was Zack's in Crisis Core...but we are good now XD

haha, yeah I'll admit his voice in the first couple of chapters was a bit too eager and rambunctious for me (not as bad as Tidus from FFX, but close). This, of course, is not a problem I find with the voice acting itself, the voice is supposed to be like that because that's how Zack was. He hadnt' grown up yet, so I accepted it (in all it's annoying energetic nature, lol).
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 16, 2009, 04:13:55 pm
yeah it was a good match for his personality....though I was used to seeing him as grown up so it was a change :P

Post by: EveofAbyss on February 16, 2009, 07:18:32 pm
So I noticed in the trailer there is a clip of Rude talking at Healin. I wonder who he was talking to? It looked like the same scene as the opening when Cloud first gets there, so maybe Rude and Cloud have some words after the Buster Sword comes out but before Rufus shows up? Mysssstery....
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!

Post by: Syd-chan on February 17, 2009, 10:44:19 pm
>> I still need to finish Crisis Core. xD I found out what happened, but I've kept myself from watching the actual scene.

BUT YES. Zack=Awesome!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 17, 2009, 11:01:39 pm
Yeah, Zack is amazing. I won't say I like him more than Cloud, but in his own right he is pure awesome. I think, essentially, Zack equals perseverance while Cloud equals struggle. In a way, Cloud only persevered through his struggles because of Zack...but that doesn't make him any less cool, in my book.

I like them both, can't choose one over the other.

And can't wait until you get to that last scene of Crisis Core, Syd. If you somehow made it through the game without feeling much for Zack, that last scene will be the clincher. It's...beautiful.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 17, 2009, 11:10:43 pm
Yeah...I guess I can't really compare the two of them >_> they are too different.

But that last scene is absolutely gorgeous.

^agreed with both eve and nikkiolie, that last scene... oh man... and eve, i love your description of the differences between zack and cloud and the similarities, it sums up everything really well

nikkiolie, i should show you the amv i made for crisis core, i think you might like it ^.^

and i should show everyone my amv for ac, cause it's fun, lol. perhaps i'll upload them somewhere and post them here...

Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 19, 2009, 08:14:53 pm
That'd be pretty great, haha. It just couldn't be anything terrible like beer nuts, lol.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 19, 2009, 08:22:52 pm
yeah that would be good. Like buffalo wings and what not
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 19, 2009, 08:32:25 pm
Chocobo Wings, Kupo Nuts, Potions and Megalixers...good things to have!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 19, 2009, 08:35:25 pm
XD OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE LOTS OF FUN!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 19, 2009, 08:36:55 pm
Yeah, Kahlan is a great host when it comes to themed parties. This should rock pretty hardcore.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 19, 2009, 08:40:59 pm
I will try to find as much as possible to make my basement look more bar like XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 19, 2009, 08:44:31 pm
I think that is very possible. You do have that counter/mini-bar thing, which is pretty perfect.

And Kahlan's kitchen has an island/counter in the middle, so that would work too!

We've got two places, for two parties, and both can be modded into bars! Sweet! lol
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 19, 2009, 08:45:57 pm
Either will work for me. If you want to do it there or here. I don't care ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 19, 2009, 09:22:38 pm
Chocobo Wings, Kupo Nuts, Potions and Megalixers...good things to have!

omg... so... CUTE! *explodes* lol


yeah, i don't care where we have it, either is fine with me too. quick, we need a decisive person!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 19, 2009, 09:26:04 pm
Well, both have big screens, both have surround sound (I think), so audio/video-wise, both would be good.

I think Kahlan's may be bigger, though, so how about at Kahlan's? (haha, we have so many months still to go, lol)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 19, 2009, 09:32:04 pm
fine by me. ^_^

my parents may like it more too XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 19, 2009, 09:33:24 pm
Well good then, haha.

Yay! *is excited*
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 19, 2009, 09:52:53 pm
Is it alright if Devin comes?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 19, 2009, 09:53:05 pm
woot! *is too excited*

even more excited now that eve and i have started a list of possible foods to serve ^.^ *will post list later*
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 19, 2009, 09:53:31 pm
Is it alright if Devin comes?


of course ^.^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 19, 2009, 10:04:12 pm
YAY I'll let her know
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 20, 2009, 07:01:18 am
Yeah, Devin's cool, haha. Look forward to seeing all of you again. It's been too long.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 20, 2009, 09:41:31 am
Yeah she is excited about all of this ;D So am I. This is going to be a lot of fun XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 09:27:37 am
So Kahlan and I have been brainstorming themed foods over the past few days and, while I will leave it to her to post them here, I will just say they are going to be really fun and there will be a wide variety of goodies and snacks and bar foods for Seventh Heaven, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 11:53:26 am
God this is going to be so cool. It comes out in April right? Are you going to import it or wait till it comes out here?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 12:17:17 pm
Yeah, it comes out in Japan in April, and I was going to wait to buy the US version, because I wouldn't want to buy the Japanese version and only be able to watch it on my computer. I figure it will be best to just wait. I just hope it comes out soon around the same time as Japan's release.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 02:06:11 pm
I thought that the Japanese version would play on the ps3 >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 04:08:41 pm
Nope, the PS3 is region-specific just like any regular DVD player, surprisingly.

At least, mine is anyway.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 04:09:08 pm
hmmm....I thought I read somewhere that it would still play Japanese stuff >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 04:09:38 pm
*shrug* Maybe one of the higher-up versions do.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 04:12:56 pm
who knows. Well I hope it wont take too long to get here >_>

The one that is released in Japan is going to have English Subs so it really shouldn't take too long....I hope
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 04:14:59 pm
Yeah, ideally they would only have to wrangle up the English cast to cover a few additional scenes, so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Here's to hoping for a speedy release! (lol...unintentional bad phrasing)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 04:15:55 pm
It would be nice if it could be out in time for Kumoricon. Maybe someone should talk to the staff and see if they will play it this year ::)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 04:17:40 pm
That would be a great thing to screen, it'd be a smart move to take advantage of the newly released movie. There would surely be a big audience for it.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 04:18:22 pm
yeah...maybe I will send someone an email latter tonight or something ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 04:20:07 pm
Yeah, hopefully the movie would be out by then, but even if it doesn't come out til after Kumoricon, it would be a smart move to ask them about it early on. Surely wouldn't hurt.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: JeffT on February 21, 2009, 07:58:20 pm
Nope, the PS3 is region-specific just like any regular DVD player, surprisingly.

At least, mine is anyway.

Blu-Ray has fewer regions than DVD, and Japan and the US are in the same region.

(HD DVD was even better, without region-coding. But alas, that was not to be.)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 08:19:54 pm
Ah, well, good to know!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 09:14:43 pm
so then you could buy it when it is released in Japan ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 09:24:42 pm
Yup, I have to remember that!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 09:30:18 pm
that way there is less waiting time XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 09:37:32 pm
Yeah, for sure. I would still want to get the US release for convenience later on, but for the sake of getting a hold of something as soon as possible, I will for sure aim at getting the Japanese copy.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 09:39:21 pm
if it comes out on DVD or for the psp I'll get it too XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 09:42:43 pm
I would too. This is a movie I could feel completely justified in getting for both dvd player, Blu-Ray and PSP.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 21, 2009, 10:12:19 pm
XD

Tell me about it. I was going to buy the special edition movie that is out now....but I think I will wait ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 21, 2009, 10:38:04 pm
ah but the special edition is awesome cause it comes with postcards, the script, and the novel. plus, the last order anime is on there too ^.^ but i'm a super fan and want all the versions... lol.

depending on how soon after the japanese release it will be released here, i may go in with eve on getting the japanese version first. but if it's not too long a wait, maybe we'll just wait for the us release... but who knows >.> (and i'm just talking for myself, mostly, lol, sorry rodney, didn't mean to put words in your mouth o.O)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 21, 2009, 10:39:45 pm
Nah, it's fine. You know me well enough, haha. I agree, it all depends on when it is set to come out over here, hopefully it will at least be announced so we aren't just waiting in the dark.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 22, 2009, 09:23:38 am
Yeah but I don't really have any money right now. As of this moment most of my money is going to sakuracon. After that passes I'll look into it. ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 22, 2009, 11:56:37 am
Don't worry, there's still a lot of time to pass.  :)
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 22, 2009, 12:02:09 pm
Yeah there is still lots of time but I am going to be spending quite a bit of money till about June >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 22, 2009, 12:06:09 pm
Yeah, well the Special Edition ain't going anywhere and AC Complete isn't out yet, so no worries.

And cosplay is always going to be a higher priority, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 22, 2009, 12:07:02 pm
Yeah they are. At this point I am more of paying for a place to sleep at sakuracon. I also need to pay Marie for the Cloud costume x.x
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 22, 2009, 12:08:32 pm
Ah, makes sense. How much time do you have until SakuraCon?
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 22, 2009, 12:13:31 pm
7 weeks. Its enough time. I will have about $500 by then....and I only plan on spending about $200 at the con, and probably about $100 on the costume.....not to mention I need to pay the rest of the money for my sword >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Syd-chan on February 22, 2009, 10:09:37 pm
I can't wait to see your Cloud. xD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 22, 2009, 10:26:13 pm
Yeah, you'll be a great addition to the FF group at the Photo shoot. ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 23, 2009, 08:22:04 am
o.o I know..seeing how there was only ONE Cloud last year and that one was from Crisis Core. I could be getting A LOT of attention x.x

But hell it will be worth it XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 23, 2009, 04:36:16 pm
Yup, that's what cosplay is for, right? ^_^

There was this amazing Cloud in 2006, he was all punked out when he wasn't cosplaying, but I haven't seen him since.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 23, 2009, 04:47:57 pm
hmmm....that is too bad. I am really looking forward to cosplaying Cloud as well as this movie XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 23, 2009, 04:58:55 pm
Yes, I am looking forward to this movie as well.

Everytime I think of my Barret cosplay I get all excited for AC all over again (and vise versa).
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 23, 2009, 05:55:05 pm
Yeah, it is going to be so much fun if we have a big group ;D

I need to find some shoes to make me taller >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 23, 2009, 06:13:28 pm
Cloud's boots do look to have a bit of a chunky sole to them. Nothing like a platform, but combat boots could make you taller, a little bit.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 23, 2009, 06:29:51 pm
I need to be three inches taller >_> I guess I don't have to be his exact height but it would make me feel better.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 23, 2009, 06:37:38 pm
Well...nobody's gonna chase you around with a tape measure.

You'll be great, no worries.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 23, 2009, 07:02:54 pm
Yeah I guess that is true. It all depends on what I can find at goodwill ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 23, 2009, 09:11:48 pm
well the spiky hair will add a bit to your height, too ^.^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 23, 2009, 09:12:54 pm
Yup, good point. Gotta be thankful for the gravity-defying spikes.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 23, 2009, 09:17:24 pm
final fantasy has a trademark of gravity defying hair, which is awesome, but also somewhat hard to replicate, lol. *will have to do it again for aeris* but at least i know how to do the bangs now >.O
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 23, 2009, 09:29:59 pm
Yeah, makes me glad to be Barret "Close Shave" Wallace, lol
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 23, 2009, 10:00:00 pm
Yeah I forgot about the hair ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 23, 2009, 10:59:03 pm
So I am still waiting for Kahlan to post the list of foods we will have for the party, but in the meantime, is there anything in particular people would want to eat? Any dishes or desserts or snacks? We have a lot to choose from, but I'm still curious what people would want.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 24, 2009, 07:20:06 am
I like desserts :P

but I'm sure what ever she makes will be fine with me ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 24, 2009, 09:04:04 pm
so far the list of potential dishes is:

Midgar Mozzarella Sticks
Kalm Croquettes
Corel Dogs
Forgotten City Fondue
Junon JoJos
Wutai Won Tons
Rocket Town Blast-Off Burger
Knights of the Round Table Pizza (basically a pizza from round table, lol)
Chocobo Wings
Kupo Nuts
Cockatrice Tenders
Wall Market Weenies (those little cocktail weenies, hehe)
Hedgehog Pie (like shepherd's pie)
Titan Tots
Chocobo Ranch (for dipping)
Cait Sith Mix (like chex mix)
Hellfire Poppers (jalapeno poppers)
Mini Cupcakes
Great Gospel Gallettes
Catastrophe Cookies
Mog Drops
Moogle Macaroons
Chocolate Bombs
Tri-Disaster Trifle
Tonberry Cobbler with Icicle Inn Cream
Shinra Shooters (drink)
Hero Drink
Potion/Elixir


those are just some ideas, i don't think we have to/can do them all, cause that would be a lot... lol. it's just really fun to come up with these names and ideas ^.^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 24, 2009, 09:07:07 pm
that is a great list....but I feel there should be something ultimate.....and something omnislash like :P
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 24, 2009, 09:42:40 pm
haha, we'll brainstorm something up for that. Good suggestion ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 24, 2009, 09:45:55 pm
But yeah that list is great. I can help bring some stuff too so you aren't making all of it x.x
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 24, 2009, 10:28:34 pm
Yeah, of course. You (and everyone else) are welcome to bring or make anything you feel like. It can be a party & potluck. ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 24, 2009, 10:32:52 pm
hmmm will have to think of something awesome for the ultimate and omnislash ^.^

yeah, it'd be cool for people to bring stuff ^.^ people can bring the meaty things cause i don't eat meat and so wouldn't really wanna cook it, lol. someone can pick up a pizza from round table, and a bag of chex mix, and some chicken wings and tenders, etc. i'm excited to make stuff, and desserts!
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 08:21:19 am
Yeah I'll do the chicken wings. They may have to be heated up for a little bit after I get there but I will cook them before hand ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 25, 2009, 10:09:34 am
sounds good to me ^.^ *is super excited for whenever this happens* lol

Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 11:08:10 am
YES we need them. Hell if I am done in time I may come as Cloud >_> ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 25, 2009, 11:23:41 am
That'd be pretty fantastic. I didn't even think about that, but cosplaying for this would be a blast, possibly, heh. Barret could be somewhat inconvenient...but it would still be fun.
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 11:31:25 am
yeah I can see how he would be a little inconvenient but it will be a lot of fun ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 25, 2009, 02:12:49 pm
Yeah, for sure. I may just pretend I'm Barret with his upgraded humanoid arm (for the convenience of eating, lol).
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 03:49:44 pm
And I can be Cloud without the massive sword XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 25, 2009, 04:30:09 pm
Exactly, haha

It'll be in the shop getting cleaned. Gotta keep that Mu blood from rusting it, heh
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 04:43:04 pm
Yup. ^_^

Blood is the enemy XD
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 25, 2009, 04:54:09 pm
Yeah, just look how bad Cloud let Zack's get by the time Advent Children rolled around...messy...lol
Title: Re: Final Fantas VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 05:03:37 pm
yeah it was pretty bad....so bad that he had to get a new sword XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 25, 2009, 05:50:14 pm
Yup, heh.

Actually, that is one area that I could go for some clarification/discussion on. How many Buster Swords do you think there are? Angeal had the original, which he gave to Zack. Zack then gave it to Cloud. Did Cloud take that one and use it all through VII, or do you think he got a new one and left Zack's on the cliff as a memorial? I suppose the core question is at what point did the Buster Sword show up on the cliff, where we see it in AC?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 05:55:48 pm
Well he got a bunch of swords though out the game of 7.....I think the buster sword was only the first one....maybe he put it there after they left Midgar?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 25, 2009, 10:08:19 pm
Possibly.

Although I think the Buster Sword is the sword of FFVII. It doesn't matter what you equip Cloud with, the Buster Sword is the one that is always present in FMV's, cutscenes and the like. So, I have to think perhaps he uses Zack's Buster Sword throughout VII, and afterward he placed it as a memorial and had an upgrade made (but in the same style as a tribute to Zack).
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 10:11:38 pm
Yeah I guess. That makes sense. Though it would be a lot of programing to make the cut scenes show the sword you have equipped >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 25, 2009, 10:25:27 pm
Yeah, I'm sure it would have taken a lot of work. I'm not saying it was bad, I was just pointing that aspect out.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 25, 2009, 10:43:41 pm
Yeah....they didn't even do it in Kingdom Hearts....though I believe they did in Kingdom Hearts 2 :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 25, 2009, 11:04:54 pm
i was thinking earlier of seventh heaven nacho supreme.

but i just thought... ultima nachos! ^.^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 26, 2009, 06:16:42 am
Sounds good ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 26, 2009, 07:08:41 am
That would work for me ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 26, 2009, 02:00:12 pm
I think I like Seventh Heaven Nacho Supreme better, it sounds more believable to me for something to be served there. But, it really doesn't make a difference, heh, they will be the exact same dish despite the name. So, yeah, do whatever, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 26, 2009, 02:03:48 pm
I guess that makes sense.....either one works just fine ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 26, 2009, 02:10:42 pm
Yeah, I don't mean to make it sound like a big deal. I don't care what it is really, I will eat nachos no matter what they are called, heh. They certainly aren't going to ruin a party for me.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 26, 2009, 02:17:01 pm
doesn't matter to me either. i just remember we were trying to think of something for ultima/ultimate, so i suggested that, but either way is fine

We'll sort it out eventually, heh.

On the movie front, great news!

It has just been reported that FFVII:ACC will actually have a worldwide "limited" release. So, supposedly the film should come out in both Japan and the US at the same time, which should be April 16th!

Oh my!

And here is an English trailer for it that just showed up!

I believe this news calls for a "zomg" or two!

Really?! Now all it needs it to come out on DVD XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 26, 2009, 10:36:15 pm
*is more excited* yay for worldwide release ^.^

i think i like the original japanese trailer better.... more new shots and such that made me drool a little... haha >.O the narration on the english one seemed a bit awkward o.O
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 26, 2009, 10:39:37 pm
Yeah, I didn't actually watch the trailer until after I posted that update, but it did seem weird. I actually thought it was fake but the narration said too much legitimate info to be fake. It looked like a crappy home made video though.

I like the Japanese trailer better, as well.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 26, 2009, 10:44:54 pm
I still haven't watched it....now I am not sure if I want to o.O
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 26, 2009, 10:47:23 pm
^ meh, you're not missing anything, really. it seems like mostly just clips from the original version of ac anyway, with some awkward narration over the top o.O

still super excited for this, though. if they are really telling the truth about the worldwide release date, and it is actually the day they say it will be, then we could start really planning our party ^.^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 26, 2009, 10:55:30 pm
yeah sounds like a plan. I am looking forward to this. Something else to do between now and kumoricon XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 26, 2009, 11:29:32 pm
Yup yup, I'm super excited too! So, supposing it comes out in mid April, we would probably want to have this party on the weekend soon after its release?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on February 27, 2009, 09:03:14 am
^yeah, that sounds good to me ^.^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 27, 2009, 09:05:25 am
Kewl. Still got some time, but it's good to be getting a gameplan set.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 27, 2009, 09:46:49 am
Yeah the weekend would be best...and if it is a Saturday let me know so I can ask for that day off ;D But if you did it Friday night or Sunday I would be fine XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 27, 2009, 10:05:05 am
Okay, coolio. Any day will work for me (at the moment), but if I get a job then it may change things, but not too much, hopefully.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 27, 2009, 10:26:37 am
I would lean to a Friday or Sunday myself >_>;
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 27, 2009, 10:53:12 am
Either one works for me, so we'll aim for one of those days for now then.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 27, 2009, 05:57:13 pm
Thank you ^_^

I am already asking for a bunch of time off....I don't want to ask for more ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

Yeah, makes sense.

SWEET!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 28, 2009, 07:14:49 pm
It is! Only a couple months til it should come out!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on February 28, 2009, 09:31:09 pm
I will have to save more money for this XD

I should be good by the time it comes out. I should be getting a lot of money ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on February 28, 2009, 10:24:20 pm
You shouldn't have to save up too much. I can't see it being more than $30. I think that's the average Blu-Ray cost.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 12:03:05 pm
well....I don't have a blu-ray player so I am hoping it comes out on DVD as well ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: RandomCosplay on March 01, 2009, 12:05:13 pm
yea I don't have blue-ray nether
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 12:10:43 pm
Yeah, hopefully it comes out on DVD. If it does, it will cost even less.

And if it doesn't come out on DVD, I'm sure Blu-Ray doesn't cost a terrible amount, but it's not something I would be too eager to buy, for just one movie.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 12:25:33 pm
Yeah same....and it is like 300 for a blu-ray player >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 12:28:52 pm
Wow! That is pretty spendy.

Well, let's hope it comes out on DVD.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 12:32:39 pm
Yeah I hope so too....or at least on psp then I would be happy ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 12:33:48 pm
If it doesn't, I can at least make you a copy for the time being.

Or we can just use my PS3 whenever you want to watch it. ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 12:36:33 pm
Yeah that is always true. Not to mention it will be online SOMEWHERE! But as soon as it came out on DVD (if it did) I would buy it ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 12:40:24 pm
Yeah, thank you, online movie/anime streamers/torrents, haha
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 12:47:53 pm
Yeah that is always a positive thing. I should check the one I have at school as time gets closer....it might be our BEFORE it is released. That is what happened with the new Resident Evil movie :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 12:52:37 pm
Really? That's awesome. There's a good chance this will appear online before it's DVD release, even if it is one worldwide release. Those streamers are tricky people, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 02:37:48 pm
yeah they are. But I am not complaining if it is online before :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 04:13:55 pm
No complaints from this side of the table either, heh.

Not a 100% on this, but you should be able to just buy it day one if ya wanted.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 10:23:12 pm
Interesting, nice to see some statistics to support the idea. I hope so!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 10:28:06 pm
But it also seems like it is going to be released world wide so it isn't a huge deal. I'm not too sure if you could pre-order it at game stop or not though >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 10:31:33 pm
I haven't seen anything about an ACC pre-order anywhere yet, but if there was a place that would be doing pre-orders, I would peg RightStuf as the main one.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Syd-chan on March 01, 2009, 10:33:19 pm
._. I....thought the trailer narration was a little awkward.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: KogaRyu on March 01, 2009, 10:33:38 pm
F.Y.E would be a good place to check too.

Yeah they might be waiting till it gets closer to time >_> though I am not too sure.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 10:43:29 pm
When AC first was set to come out, I remember RightStuf did pre-orders (which I bought immediately). They offered the pre-orders really early, because I remember paying for it, and then waiting months and months and months. (Of course...AC was delayed a couple times, so that has something to do with it, too.)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 10:47:43 pm
Yeah game stop also did pre-orders....but I didn't pre-order mine and still got it the day it came out :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 01, 2009, 10:51:13 pm
Yeah, I have since then learned that there is nothing good about pre-ordering things, lol. It generally can cost more and takes longer for you to get it. No benefits there, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 01, 2009, 10:52:24 pm
Yeah plus I might not have the money at that moment :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 02, 2009, 09:09:19 am
When it comes out, (system-availability pending), we'll all have it and be happy, heh. No need to complicate the process with pre-orders, not like it will be some super hot commodity in the stores...well, it could, but I doubt it will be impossible to get a hold of.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 02, 2009, 11:19:23 am
Yeah I don't think a lot of people even know it is coming out XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 02, 2009, 01:17:34 pm
Which is good for us (less people to compete with over copies!), haha
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: RandomCosplay on March 02, 2009, 10:18:30 pm
lol i'll just download it
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 02, 2009, 10:19:50 pm
I'm sure a lot of people will.

Depending on the gap between online availability, potential pre-order date, and actual release, I may download it as well, but not before I pay for it in some way.

I like having a physical copy too....but if it is only out in blu-ray I can't :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

No further news yet, but we can always hope. ^_^

Post by: EveofAbyss on March 03, 2009, 11:42:09 pm
I found a still of the scene where Sephiroth impales Cloud. Zow! It looks so amazing! I know it has been brought up before but I still think it is so awesome that they made reference to the original battle like that.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 03, 2009, 11:45:27 pm
you should totally post that. I can make it my wallpaper. ;D

More news about FFVII:AC goodies, heh. It looks like the same company that made Last Order is set to animate Denzel's story from On the Way to A Smile, the little novelette. IT is set to come out with ACC, so we have more goodies to look forward to! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-03-03/final-fantasy-vii-denzel-novel-confirmed-to-get-anime (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-03-03/final-fantasy-vii-denzel-novel-confirmed-to-get-anime)

and that's super awesome about that anime they're doing ^.^ should be good!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 04, 2009, 01:20:08 am
Yeah, it's these little extras that make buying every version of the release worth it. But, not everyone is a collector, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 04, 2009, 08:13:03 am
SAVED AND SET :P

Thanks for that. I can not wait for this to come out >_<
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 04, 2009, 02:25:13 pm
No problem. If I could find one slightly bigger I'd make it my wallpaper too, but til then, what I've got will have to suffice, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 04, 2009, 03:30:14 pm
yeah a little bit bigger would be cool....also if they added a few more details and or effects to it :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 06, 2009, 09:28:17 am
So Devin sounded pretty interested by the mention of a FF-themed party last night. We should be sure she comes whenever we have this thing, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 06, 2009, 09:40:14 am
She wants to come so I would say yes ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on March 06, 2009, 04:31:56 pm
we should have a bar menu that looks like the game/item menu ^.^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 06, 2009, 05:14:50 pm
That would be pretty friggin' amazing. It probably wouldn't cost too much to print off a few laminated menus, either. *scratches chin* Simasyoo! (Let's do it!)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 06, 2009, 06:28:13 pm
yeah that would be pretty freaking cool
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 07, 2009, 08:13:58 am
Once we decide on what dishes and snacks we will have, I can work out a menu for us.

And people can pay in gil! (lol, maybe that will be too much...)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 07, 2009, 08:10:58 pm
we could buy a bunch of those gold coins and use those ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

Yeah, that would work.  ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

Yeah, someone else with Blu-Ray, haha. I do still hope they release it on DVD for those who don't have a Blu-Ray player, though. Everyone should be able to enjoy the crazy awesomeness of ACC!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 12:47:27 pm
I can't imagine they wont put it out for the psp. Not too sure about DVD but they should release it for the psp, then I would be good ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 12:52:14 pm
Yeah, seems like they would do PSP for sure. That's their own product after all, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 12:54:05 pm
so logically speaking they would come out with it :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 12:57:25 pm
haha, that'd be some high hoping, but it could happen.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 01:01:55 pm
I think they would make a lot more money if they did. They would make WAY more if it also came out on DVD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 01:03:40 pm
Yeah, if they were thinking that way, thinking smart, they would do both...but we'll see, heh.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 01:56:13 pm
Yeah, who knows with Sony, they've done some wack things in the past lol. But, they prolly will do at least a DVD release. I think Sony pretty much stopped PSP movies to my knowledge though. I haven't seen any in stores for some time.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 04:13:41 pm
Oh yeah, I do remember reading something like that. I think UMD's became somewhat extinct. There are still old ones you can buy used but they don't make them anymore.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 04:18:45 pm
Thought so...but UMD is the PSP disc format, so if they died there'd be no games on the PSP XD
Do you know if they'll ever do anything with Last Order?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 04:22:16 pm
Oh, yeah, I meant movies on UMD.

And as for Last Order, it was released as a special feature on the last edition of Advent Children that came out. The Collector's Edition or something. It had Last Order on it, as well as coming with a script and a mini novella called On the Way to a Smile (featuring stories about Barret, Tifa, and Denzel respectively set in the two years between VII and VII:AC).
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 04:24:04 pm
Oh, I did not know that. Is it going to be on the Blu-Ray one? Couldn't really be -Complete- without having everything the last releases had XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 04:25:30 pm
Hmm, good question. I'm not sure, haven't heard anything about ACC except that it will have more footage. We'll see, though.

Of course, if you're a good FF fan, you would have already bought the last release of AC and had Last Order.  ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 04:28:32 pm
Mwahaha! I'm a bad FF fan! Actually, let's go one step more...I'm an -EVIL- FF fan! Mwahahaha! Read: I just have the initial DVD release T_T

Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 10:56:31 pm
Yeah, I agree it was a really well-done addition to the FFVII Universe. In that short amount of time they definitely packed a wallop of emotion. Up until that point there had been little exploration of what happened between the experiments in Nibelheim and the death of Zack, so it was just a phenomenal anime. Even with Crisis Core out now, it still doesn't lose its significance.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 11:14:15 pm
Indeed XD
I couldn't sit through Crisis Core though, the battle system made me cry T_T
I wiki'd what happened cuz of it >_>

Gah, I got farther in that than I did in Xenosaga Episode II though. If anyone knows what that is...you know what I mean  XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

Well, not so much the battle system per-se. It was more the randomness of battle >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 11:29:01 pm

the battles weren't really random. I also knew when I was going to get in a fight. It was when ever the path opened up.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 11:37:41 pm
Yeah, they actually gave you the advice in the booklet that if you wanted to avoid battles, you should just stick to the walls (although that is bad for leveling up).

Hmm. Maybe I'll go back and play more than 20 minutes of it XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 11:40:54 pm
when I was trying to get through missions quickly that is what I did :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 11:42:44 pm
Yeah, the tactic can be a lifesaver in the lower levels where you encounter nothing but King Tonberries and Malboros.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 11:43:27 pm
yeah >_> Or if you had no idea how to protect against attacks that cause death ^_^; I do now though XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 08, 2009, 11:45:28 pm
Yup, some certain accessories are amazing, but until you get them, the game can be a friggin hassle, lol.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 11:47:15 pm
I'll keep this all in mind XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 09:08:51 am
Anyway, getting back on track, lol, there are images of the ACC Blu-Ray cover now up on Amazon, so it's looking like this should be out in not too much more time. ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 09, 2009, 09:17:02 am
Thats good to hear. It comes out mid April right?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: KogaRyu on March 09, 2009, 10:42:44 am
If it comes out early enough in april I wonder if they'll have a showing at SakuraCon.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

OMG I SO WANT THIS!!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 12:19:51 pm
Yeah, it is supposed to come out in mid April, the 16th I think.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

YAY!!!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

Here's hoping I can afford it lol

I don't think they will have it at Sakuracon but they should at Kumoricon. If they don't we need to change that XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Seluecos on March 09, 2009, 03:00:12 pm
Woot XD
That'd be great, we could all go in our FF outfits XP
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 04:09:55 pm
Yeah, a while back you suggested contacting Kumoricon staff about showing it this year. Any luck with that?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 09, 2009, 04:13:01 pm
no I haven't even tried. I can if you want me to.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 04:15:33 pm
Well, it doesn't matter who. It wouldn't hurt for someone to ask staff about it.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 09, 2009, 04:40:37 pm
there I sent an email out :P
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 04:41:14 pm
Yay! Thanks, Nichole. ^_^ It would be pretty amazing if we could get a screening for it.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 09, 2009, 04:49:29 pm
yeah that would be pretty sweet. I'm sure by then SOMEONE will have it XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 05:38:28 pm
haha, yeah. I think the main issue is getting permission. Bigger name things need permission from somebody, even if it is just a screening not requiring anyone to pay for admission. I think I heard that somewhere.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Seluecos on March 09, 2009, 05:39:44 pm
*Crosses fingers* This'll be fun if it works out ^_^
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 09, 2009, 06:16:12 pm
I can't imagine it would need permission. Because by the time Kumoricon comes around lots of people will have it >_>
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 07:36:09 pm
I've just heard that with many films organizations need permission to do public screenings. It would be different if an individual was holding a party and showing it, but when it's an organization, I think there are different regulations.

That's what I've heard, at least.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 09, 2009, 07:36:54 pm
Not too sure. But I sent an email ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 07:41:31 pm
That's step one, heh. Let's hope we can get something worked out!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 09, 2009, 07:49:40 pm
yeah I hope so too. I would so go dressed as Cloud XD

We would have to arrange the FF VII group for that day XD
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on March 09, 2009, 07:54:37 pm

Huzzah! Oh, by the way, Black~Rose, did you see the discussion we have been having about our FFVII:ACC party? We are planning to get together at Kahlan's and watch ACC and have FF themed foods and goodies. ^_^ Whenever the film comes out we were gonna do that, you should come!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!

Well, my Barret is. I need to remake the gun, though, and get a new pair of pants for the costume.

And I am also cosplaying as Ward from FFVIII, which I have not started on yet.

Well, waiting longer is certainly a bummer...but who of us really didn't expect delays? If you were on the frontline for the original release of AC, then delays should be something quite expected, lol.

Oh well, only a couple months more. ^_^

It should be out pretty soon if it isn't already in Japan. So are we still planning that party Eve?

Post by: EveofAbyss on April 23, 2009, 12:58:03 pm
Yep, we're planning the party, but it won't come out here until June, and I decided I'm not going to buy a Japanese copy just to have it early. So, the party will be after it is released here.

But yes, it is already out in Japan. Came out earlier this week. Broke all the Anime sales' records, haha.

no dvd's, unfortunately. i made sure to check all around the store. maybe they'll do it later, but i don't really see them doing it any time soon. maybe they really wanted people to see the movie and extras with the enhancements and clarity of blu-ray, though i've never watched a blu-ray disc, so i dunno what the differences are, but i've heard it's a lot crisper and such, kinda like hdtv... but i can't ever notice the difference in hdtv either >.>

Well that is unfortunate. I hope they do it, but if not it isn't a big deal. I've seen it at least once ;D

so eve and i just watched acc this evening. i am still speechless o.O SO GOOD!

so, i retract my prior statements about blu-ray. i'd never watched anything on blu-ray before, but i can see what all the hype is about. it's so much more crisp and clear and the colors are much richer and bolder. it's just all together better. and now i see why they released acc on blu-ray and not dvd, it really should be seen on blu-ray, it's the only way to really see and appreciate all the hard work they put into the film. so yes, i will eat my words that dissed blu-ray before, lol. granted, i will still get dvd's, but i'll get certain special movies on blu-ray (ie terminator salvation when it comes out... lol)

anyway, back to acc. i love how they dispersed all the new footage through out the movie, so it wasn't just added in scenes, it was extensions of scenes. the additional info they gave was really nice and would be really helpful to those watching it who haven't played the game. i was wowed within the first few minutes upon seeing the addition of the mog with cait sith sitting on his head in the flashback scenes ^.^ and let me say, marlene's impression of barrett was hilarious. but the best was the extended sephiroth vs. cloud fight *dreamy sigh* lol.

so, if given the opportunity, watch it, you won't regret it!

*Wow! You beat me to the review, Kahlan, lol

Just watched it today, and I have to say....wowie! Umm, lessee, first things first: I now completely understand why this was only released on Blu-Ray. It would be an injustice to the quality they put into it to release it on anything else. I'm not turning into a Blu-Ray snob, I promise, but some things just require the higher definition of the format, and this is without doubt one of those things. The colors are amazingly vivid, the textures are crisp to crystal clarity. It's all beautiful. And this coming from someone who never understood the application of Blu-Ray to film. I have seen the error of my ways.

As for actual product significance, this does not leave the viewer wanting! It boasts 26 minutes of extra footage, but it definitely feels like more. Instead of a typical extended cut of a film where there are just extra scenes thrown in here and there, FFVII:ACC has extra scenes, elongated scenes, and just snippets, reimaginings and all-together new stuff spread throughout the entire film. It feels like an entirely different movie from the original release. In addition to that, there are also some redubbed voices and narrations, and the extended Sephiroth battle....not to be missed for the world!

I love it, love it, love it, and give it 5 cute Marlene-Barret impressions out of 5.  ;D

I thought you would like that part. I did notice how sharp the picture was when I watched it. I may have to watch it again after I am done with school ;D

Post by: EveofAbyss on June 05, 2009, 09:23:45 am
Yeah, when you mentioned Marlene doing the impression, I was already really excited to see it, but when I sat down to actually watch the movie, I had forgotten so it caught me by surprise. And I almost fell off the couch laughing, lol.

Sooo cute.

I find these comments interesting when compared with the use of fully-rendered video in the original game itself. In 1997 when FF7 was released, CD-ROM was still a new format and game developers were figuring out how to use the vastly improved capacity (relative to game cartridge ROMs). Many games in the last several years before 1997 used video to the detriment of gameplay, being "interactive movies" of sorts, or just tacked on opening and ending videos to otherwise unenhanced gameplay that could have been done in a cartridge (look at the games on the Sega CD system, for example). But instead, FF7 carefully interspersed small bits of video all throughout the game, sometimes just a few seconds long, sometimes longer, so that you never felt like you were entering or leaving video, but instead, it was completely seamless with the gameplay. To make it even more immersive, the first and last frames of the videos would be identical to the real-time rendered 3D scenes.

FF7 was the shining example of how to use the CD-ROM format to enhance gameplay (while also showing how to mask its drawback, load times, which severely affected many other CD-ROM games at the time). Which was the very reason that Square defected from Nintendo's cartridge-based N64.

Post by: EveofAbyss on June 06, 2009, 04:52:46 pm
That is really interesting, Jeff. I had never thought of the similarity between the relationship between VII and other games of the time, and AC to ACC. I do have to say I was (and still am considerably) blown away by the way VII was animated so seamlessly, transitioning from in-game to pre-rendered. I'm actually replaying through VII right now and, yeah, it is still pretty much flawless, for its time and on its own merit as well.

Anyway....as for ACC, I still would have loooooved to see more of Red XIII, as in speaking parts.

But I guess he does get the last word over everyone, or should I say the last howl....498 years later!
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: nikkiolie on June 07, 2009, 08:41:54 pm
Yeah more parts from Red would have been good....but I wasn't too fond of his english voice so I didn't mind all that much ^_^;
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: EveofAbyss on June 08, 2009, 02:39:52 pm
Ah, yeah, I think it grew on me. I'm not sure I ever really thought anything about his voice because it is such a fleeting instant in the movie. It can get lost in everything else that is going on, heh.

I just think he deserves way more of the screen than he gets.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete!
Post by: Kahlan4 on June 08, 2009, 04:25:25 pm
i actually thought red xiii's english voice fit him really well. though it was only one line and very short, i could sense such intelligence in it, i can't find the words at the moment to describe it, but it was very much how i'd imagine red sounding, almost having an ancient knowledge of things and very deep. but that's just me ^.^

You know what? I changed my mind, wasn't really thinking when I wrote my response. I agree, Red XIII's voice had inherent wisdom in it, in just that one sentence I could sense the knowledge of the planet, as only Cosmo Canyon could bring breed.

Good insight. ^_^

He still needs more screen time, haha

It wasn't bad....it just seemed a little too feminine if you ask me =/

I like cait sith's voice though XD

haha, yes, I love that they gave Cait Sith a Scottish brogue (I don't know why, but it worked brilliantly!).

We saw the limited edition with the FF XIII demo but it was $75....Devin got the $30 one at best buy XD

Post by: EveofAbyss on June 10, 2009, 11:25:48 pm
You really saw the limited edition? That's pretty awesome. Kahlan didn't see that anywhere at Best Buy, but really, I wouldn't care too much about the XIII demo. Not enough to pay an extra 40-some dollars.

I'm fine with the basic product, heh

It was at Uwajimaya. Yeah Devin thought the same.

Don't worry. Square has never been one to miss out on an opportunity to milk things, I'm sure you'll be seeing it on DVD eventually.

But til then....there are always hang out parties to sneak into and watch it at, heh. If nothing else, I'm thinking I'll bring my PS3 to Kumoricon this year and invite some folks to watch the movie in there. Maaaaybe, anyway.

I drew a pic of sephy with hello kitty barrets and pigtails sitting next to Mother [box] with a little Kadaj in a bubble laughing, and a Rufus in the top corner laughing too [was supposed to be cloud but I failed] saying *Kusaa Kadaj, kusaa. And he didn't look too happy either, I'll scan it and post it later today. I don't want to mess with the scaner right now.
