Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

The Clerk · 02-17-2005, 12:15 AM

who else can't wait for this?? i've seen the trailers, i've read what might be the story... and... wow, it's amazing.

This isn't a game, it's a movie. Shoulden't this be in the movies thread?

Squares first film sucked, so they don't have much to live up to... it could be decent, and be better.

**Barkworm** · 02-17-2005, 01:53 AM

The first film was crappy because it had nothing to do with Final Fantasy. This one on the other hand is a direct sequel to FFVII and could be great. I have high hopes in it.

*Dane E5R* · 02-17-2005, 02:08 AM

I'm beyond hyped... What are those story details you mentioned?

*Duke* · 02-17-2005, 08:02 AM

I was just talking about this w/ two of my friends last night. I've spent more time discussing this direct to video movie than most theatrical ones. I'm seriously considering just importing it as soon as it comes out in Japan. I might not be able to understand most of the worlds but I'll atleast be follow the story and right now that would be good enough for me.

**Barkworm** · 02-17-2005, 08:33 AM

Japanese DVDs usually have English subtitles so importing it shouldn't be a problem.

*Duke* · 02-17-2005, 09:15 AM

I was unaware of that. Thank you for the info.

They never used to, but now it's becoming more common, since American movies are all the rage over there. You will need a DVD player that will play region-2, you know. I'm sure you knew that already.

*Duke* · 02-17-2005, 09:37 AM

Won't a pc play region-2 dvds?

愛 · 02-17-2005, 09:41 AM

You'll have to configure your DVD drive first before it can play Region-2 DVD's. You can also only change it a certain amount of times. I think 6 times is the maximum limit.

Kingdom Hearts would work better as a movie, given that it would feature characters from Disney interacting with Final Fantasy-eseque cocnepts, it would draw in audiences who have never played (or throughly dislike) the games, and for the Final Fantasy audiences who might dislike Final Fantasy Seven.

If this film is the continuation of a game, it might not do well at the box office, only the hardcore fans will watch this.

Direct to DVD movie. No box office involved. And probably only hardcore Final Fantasy fans will watch this, or people who like CGI movies.

**azure turtle** · 02-17-2005, 02:17 PM

As a big fan of Final Fantasy, I'm really looking forward to this movie. Square's first attempt at a movie was horrible, so I'm hoping this will make up for it.

*Voltron* · 02-17-2005, 04:12 PM

While I'm not expecting all that much from it, I still can't wait to see this movie.

Region 2 is Europe though. Isn't Japan a different region?

I heard FFVII was supposed to have Aeris brought back to life (something to do with the holy materia she drops) but the game was in a rush to be finished. So this film would pick that up I assume

愛 · 02-17-2005, 06:47 PM

Japan is region 2. Check this site. Every Japanese DVD is region 2.

I think this'll suck the big one, like most things FF.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-17-2005, 10:45 PM

Well, I dunno. I thought they were just gonna stick it on PSP only, but so ther's a DVD huh? Guess Square relized it shouldn't be wasted like that.

*Duke* · 02-17-2005, 10:58 PM

It's always been scheduled for a dvd release.

No no, that was never the plan. It was always said that it would come out on DVD.
