FF7: Advent Children

[Wise Dragon]

Yeah. Watching AV would be kinda like playing Enter the Matrix without having seen the movie first. You would get confused. If you try to raise a gold chocobo then it really will take a long time to beat. Took me an extra month.

I was hoping you would say it was coming out early in Europe. I was gonna load up some import sites lol.

When I saw that my first thought was similar to yours, which made me immediately think: the instant that gets released anywhere, it will be all over the internet.

Screens From FFVII Tech Demo

High resolution screens from the FFVII techincal demo can be found on Square-Enix's Japanese official site. Click on the images to enlarge. The demo was created using a next generation advanced processor known as "Cell". Also, both Gamespot and IGN have given their impressions on the demo, with IGN explicitly stating that there will not be a remake of FFVII for the PS3.

Lemme restate there is NOT going to be a remake of FFVII for the PS3. Just this time when they were testing the graphics of their new processor FFVII was just the theme. Same when FFVIII was the theme for PS2. So don't go into a depression lol. It's just a test demo to show how the graphics and the processor works.

Also I've found where GameSpot and another gamer site has stated the September release date is for DVD. UMD release hasn't even been discussed yet from what I have read...here is the article from GameSpot.

wow that demo looked niiice~
And that trailer had some nice new little chunks. Although most of it was the same as on the main square-enix site. Although I DID notice a bit more detail on a few this, for example, Clouds sword. Pretty!! *o*

I've always been a huge fan of the ff series, but overall this one seemed the best in all aspects. This movie is going to be sweet. cloud and sephiroth look very much like they do in the game. i've heard rumors that there is going to be a sequel to ff7, is this true?

i've heard rumors that there is going to be a sequel to ff7, is this true?

That depends upon the person answering the question. But the most recent and accurate data I remember stated that there will not be a true sequel to FFVII, though there are likely to be a great many spinoffs. Some of these have been hailed as a sequel, but I do not believe there will be a FFVII-2.

Riiiiiiiiight...

Savior_Sora, you're my new favorite person. *gives him a plum*

September, eh? That means I have all summer to stare at those pretty pictures wishing it's come faster....

[harina]

Wonder when it's coming to Europe. >______>;;; ( hopefully it does come here.. )

[Bobtheduck]

I'm just scared the american release will pull a "Kingdom Hearts" to the glee of many ignorant fanboys and call her "Aerith" when her name is actually the latin (or was it italian?) word "Aeris" It's why she was "AeriS" and Sephiroth, a reference to the Kabalah(sp?) was "SephiroTH" because the original names they used were actually S and TH... For those that don't know Japanese, there is no "th" sound in Japanese... When representing foreign words that have "th" in them, they either use an s or a z depending on whether it's a voiced "th" like "the" or a devoiced "th" like "thick" In the debug mode, Cloud is named "Claude" basd on a bad romanization of "Kuraudo"(or was it "kuraodo") which is just the Japanese pronuciation of "cloud" and Aeris is called "Aerith" Many budding hackers thought they'd found something special out, and so they said that her "real" name was Aerith, but really it was just bad romanization that ignored the origins of her name... Still, I don't hear any fanboys crying for Cloud's name to be changed to Claude. It's funny, when someone says something and they sorta have a factual basis for it (emphasis on "sorta") so people run with it... Aeris wasn't called "Aerith" in Japanese, because there isn't even a "th" in Japanese, yet that rumor is passed on and even becomes company approved in the fanfiction writer's fantasy that is "Kingdom Hearts" (not that kingdom hearts isn't an incredible game, it's just an incredible work of x-over fanfiction...)



Um... The movie looks very pretty, I'll give it that... FF7 wasn't my favorite game in the series, though, and they've had a bad history in this regard... Legend of the Crystals was abysmal, FFU was mediocre, and Spirits within wasn't much better... I want this to be good, I really do... I mean, it is a step above FFU and Spirits if only because it is based on an actual game story, but Crystals had that going for it and it was the worst in the bunch... Of course, AC is a serious project, not just a fanservice fest... Well, actually it is fanservice... Just not sexual fanservice... A sequal in this regard is, in itself, fanservice... Anyhow, I'm really hoping for FF7:AC to be good, only because I want to see a good movie based off FF, and it does look very pretty, but I'm not going to get my hopes up... Not anymore...

EDIT: I note the irony in using the term 'fanboy' derogatorily when I, myself, am a fan boy as made obvious by the stress this detail makes on me... I just don't like changing a character's name... I even have a hard time reading anything but "The Complete Jewish Bible" now, because I'm used to hearing the people's names in the Hebrew rather the English versions or latin versions... I'm ok when other people say "Jesus" or "John" though... I mean, that's not a detail you want to squabble over when it comes to salvation or discipleship, it's just my personal preferrence... When it comes to fictional works, that's a different story ^_^

I saw a lengthy preview of this movie at the convention, and I was actually disappointed. So many of the scenes were too dark and blurry for detail to actually be relevant.

Go here, go to trailer, click on "Official Trailer".

It's the latest and by far the best trailer yet, as it's much clearer and brighter than some of them and contains more clips of the real action (Bahamut Sin is so freakin' awesome!!!).

Can't wait till September...
