Yes there is another final fantasy 7 advent children dvd edition coming out this Tuesday.

Anyone buying it? I got the first edition the day it came out. Want this one but don't have the $$.

How long you figure until they stop selling this dvd? What does it mean limited collector's edition.. how long do they sell that?

I honestly never saw the what people liked about this movie. The ending was so tossed together. They just threw all the characters from the game that hadn't showed up in it in the last few minutes so all the fan boys would jizz their boxers.

Movie had terrible dialog too
"Did you find him yet?"
"No"
"Don't cry"
"I'm not crying!"

Wow grade A stuff right there.

I've already managed to get my hands on the original, and I'm happy with that. All that has been added into the limited addition is just voice actor interviews (most likely the English version), and a feature of a Final Fantasy anime. Personally, I couldn't care less. Advent Children is a decent movie. Not the best movie to grace the planet overall, but damn the eye candy is very nice to look at...

Yeah. I like the movie, but it wasn't exactly solid story-wise and fight wise. The fights were a bit confusing to watch and I found myself rewinding them to see how something happened (When Valentine managed to come into the second fight, for example. How the fudge did he get there?!). I really would have loved to see more of Red XIII (or at least give him more than 1 frickin' line!) and more of the Turks. In my eyes, the best thing that happened to the movie was that Reno was in it. His scenes were always the best in my eyes

What I loved about that scene was that the dude's ring tone was the victory song from the original Final Fantasy VII. Still, I guess the crying thing was just to show that the bad guys weren't 100% bad... but it just didn't work that way. It's more regarded as comic relief

I own it once, and that's really all I need. I've only watched it once since I bought it too. However, if it were to come out on a HD format, I would definitely pick it up again.

UGH!

My favourite line is "Awesome water!".

*Spitfire* · 02-17-2007, 03:11 PM

The sad thing is it's like that subtitled and dubbed. So it's not just the poor dubbing.

Don't ask why I sat through it 3 times but I ended up. Two of the times it was subtitled and once dubbed. All 3 times I lost interest about half way through so the third time I actually paid attention to the ending.

They adapted the subtitles to more or less be a closed captioned version of the dub, minus a few things here and there. If you find a real translation, it's better for dialog.

I already own the original version from Japan and the domestic version. I don't really need it again, as much as I loved this movie.

The first 2 times I saw it it was a subtitled version that people had downloaded. Before the DVD was even released in the US, way before.

Really? That's one of my "WTF" moments of the movie there.

My favorite part has to be either when Reno gets locked outside, or when he accidently hits Rude on the head when he sees the giant Bahamut Sin. I have seen it about 5 times now and it still hasn't gotten old on me

ya that too. reno poor reno gets picked on.

Ra · 02-18-2007, 04:51 AM

But isn't that the role of comic releif?

But really, the best character of the movie had to be Reno in my eyes. At times he was serious, but for most of the time he was doing something stupid or something was happening to him. Like a kid somehow getting his fingers stuck up Reno's nose

*raphael_is_cool* · 02-18-2007, 04:16 PM

I was really, really looking forward to this film and hoped it would somehow tell a great story that brought all the characters together.

Instead it's just pretty much one big action sequence with a stupid contrived plot. It's damn good-looking though.

I wouldn't knock the dialogue brutally because obviously there are going to be translation difficulties and it's just a different style of writing from the makers. Sometimes on-the-nose dialogue works, sometimes the crucial vocal inflections and pauses get missed by voice actors and sometimes it's just plain rubbish.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 02-18-2007, 11:30 PM

You know it would have been great if FF7 the game was added to the collection making it more expensive but totallly worth it.

Shark · 02-20-2007, 12:07 AM

What the...those assholes. What makes them think I'm going to bother buying this movie again, just for extra's? They should of released this in the first place.

The movie wasn't good at all. The few action scene's they had were good, but the majority of the movie that I remember were long, super boreing talking scene's.

I just talked to my friend yesterday, a Final Fantasy expert, about Advent Children, and this is what she said about it -

They wanted a start, a middle, and the end, but they only got the end. Because of that, they are throwing tantrums about it. They refuse to see the beauty of the game and the movie combined into one huge working piece. It really ticks me off.

So...yeah. Thought that would be a good point to throw out there...

*raphael_is_cool* · 02-27-2007, 04:44 PM

Tell your friend she's an idiot, please.

The game had an end. You don't make a film if it's just an ending.

That's like Joss Whedon getting his chance to make Serenity and going 'I think I need to end the Firefly series, really, since I might not get another chance to carry it on. Screw a story I'll just do a big action scene with a flimsy plot.'

愛 · 02-27-2007, 05:23 PM

It's a movie for the fans and people who like violence. Move along.
