Calza Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I just finnished watching it, damn it is so cool. I got the "Virgin Exclusive" cover which again is pretty cool. Anybody else got it?
dabookerman Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 By any chance, how does this exclusive cover look like as i want to get this myself.
McMad Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Not so sure about some of the characters voices myself, Cid was dead on but Cait Sith shouldn't sound scottish, and Barrett was actually talking like Mr. T at times! Still an awesome film but i think i prefer the japanese voices.
Hellfire Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Meh, well done, great music and great action sequences, but the story is pretty mediocre. Just a cash in.
Sarka Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I've seen the JPN version twice and it's pretty cool. The action sequences are some of the best ones I've ever seen but the story is a little mehish. They must of just thought "How can we bring Sephy back? Hmm" and then worked it all around that.
KKOB Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 it is just a cash in! fun to watch though-the story line is a bit :S but everything else is good! only saw the jap version and i hope they kept -reno i think it was either way-that guy who kept saying 'yo' at the end of each sentence! that was a highlight of the film along with the music :D:D
Guest Stefkov Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 got the japanese version, it sounds better in japanese, watched a couple minute clip on the ign weekly thing, it was ok but i think it suits the japanese voices mroe than the american, however if i watched ithe whol emovie in american i may come to like it. got the jap version on dvd aswell, after searching for a converter for ages. i dont htink im gonna fork out some more money for somethig ive already got.
Calza Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 By any chance, how does this exclusive cover look like as i want to get this myself. I'll try to get a pic up tommorow, my camara's battery is dead. I havn't watched any of the special features yet, they any good?
Guest Jordan Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 FFAC just screams "convinent plot device" and "incredible cash in" doesn't it?
CooInTheZoo Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Just ordered it Seen the JAP one a few times, bloody flashy, but a bit of a let down
Ramar Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Japanese one is awesome. Regardless of a cash in, if thats the way the creators intended the story to go, you can't deny it. I liked the story, the dialogue was a bit off at times. But I haven't seen the English dub so I'll have to wait. I'm too poor to buy it atm.
Letty Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 The first time I saw it in japanese, I was like 0.0 for an aweful long time. It was great!! But I was sorely dissapointed with the english version. Sephy's voice is crappy and americanised, and I dont like it And I share the same view with Kadaj's voice. I love Sephy by the way
ShadowV7 Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I've seen the japanese version and I want the english.What's the virgin exclusive cover like?
masaki86 Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Had it since saturday, and I loved every minute of it. The visuals are just gorgeous and the action scenes are a joy to watch. Cid was dead on but Cait Sith shouldn't sound scottish I hated the use of the scottish language as well; just made it sound a bit tacky imho, but the fact is, Cait Sith is based on a celtic/gaelic god, so the scottish language makes sense tbh.
Platty Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Im gonna pick this up. Final Fantasy VII is the only Final Fantasy game i have completed so it will be nice to know where the story goes after the game.
The3rdChildren Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Im gonna pick this up. Final Fantasy VII is the only Final Fantasy game i have completed so it will be nice to know where the story goes after the game. It doesn't really go anywhere. The only story/plot in Advent Children is present to create excuses for the characters to have fights.
dabookerman Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 It doesn't really go anywhere. The only story/plot in Advent Children is present to create excuses for the characters to have fights. thats the main reason why i liked it, the fights, i never played the game, but i thought the fights were cool
mario_jr Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Awsome movie, Haven't seen the English version though. I downloaded the Japanese version with subtitles from my Schools server to my External hard drive and then burned it in DVD format. Love the fight with in the city with the Aeon.
masaki86 Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Just out of curiosity, which god is Sith based on? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Sidhe More of a demon/mythological creature apparently; my bad.
DiemetriX Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Love the animation love the stlye. But all in all
Aimless Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Ironically, this movie is the exception to my expectations in Dante's thread. This movie is an unashamed curtain call for the cast of one of the most loved RPGs ever. It was never intended to be a world-wide blockbuster or stand-alone narrative: its a love-in for the fans, an hour and a half of esotericism. Accept it for what it is and it becomes a lot more enjoyable.
Bluejay Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Saw it when it leaked, thought it was quite a technical feat but the plot made little sense to me. Whether thats because I've never played a FF game or it just wasn't very good, I can't say. I might get it. What are the special features?
Konfucius Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 I saw it a few times in japanese and although I didn't play FF7 I really enjoyed it. Sure it doesn't have a deep story, but the graphics, the cuts, the themes, the colours, the characters - everything is so well used and placed.
ShadowV7 Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 I havn't really played a FF game ,but I watched it and loved it.The fight scene's was just wonderfull.
