Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Ginkasa · 10-03-2003, 11:53 PM

You ever hear those rumors about a FFVII-2 in the vein of FFX-2? Guess what; they were true... Kind of.

Square-Enix is making a sequel to FFVII, but its not a game like you would think. Its a straight to DVD CG movie called Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

There's nothing on the story so far. But there are several screenshots containg Cloud and Sephiroth.

Sephiroth looks...wierd to me....

Oh yeah...

What's with the short hair? He looks like a chick...

I think Cloud looks to real... if you know what I mean...

Eek! Its Aeris's church!

Cloud, dressed as Auron, looks on at the ruins of Midgar.

I don't know. I don't like the style... Sephiroth looks wierd and Cloud looks to real. The shots of the church and Midgar are neat though.

I personally have high hopes for this. I thought a lot of the reason the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was so disappointing was because it wasn't FF enough. Since this is based off of the world of a FF game, I don't see how Square could mess it up too badly...

I love you(in a non sexual way) + rep for posting the pics..the second one is so going on my desktop.
and they do look a little off but.... FFVll RULES.

Yeah, FFVII's style was sorta not very detailed and anime-ish, now this is all realistic... I think it looks pretty neat...

Too bad it's not a game... I woulda prefered a game to a movie if they did anything... I never thought I sequel to FFVII would be bad in any way... Infact just seeing those screenshots makes me want another game set in the FFVII universe so much...

This is a stupid idea :P I would rather have a game.. And is this a sequel or a movie based on FF7?

Ginkasa · 10-04-2003, 12:29 AM

This is a sequel to FFVII.

If any FF movie were to have come into the theaters, it should have been something like this, not that Spirits Within attempt. Maybe you did, but I didn't like that movie.

The only thing is that they kind of look weird now. Like the faces don't match all the prior FFVII character drawings.

The first shot of Sephiroth looks like he belongs in some kind of RE game.

Gamespot has more info on the movie.

FFVII: Advent Children Info

According to them, the short haired guy is not Sephiroth but instead is a brand new character. I don't know... Maybe a re-incarnation?

It also says that this takes place two years after FFVII in a more or less peaceful world except for a physcial illness called Seikon-Shoukougun. Cloud is living alone apparently, so no word if Tifa and co. will show up or how big a role they will play...

Word from Square is that the person in the trailer who resembles Sephiroth is another clone, like Cloud. Of course it'll probly be more in depth than that.

And the person in the wheelchair is apparently Jenova or some kind of Jenova reincarnation.

Also most of the characters from the game will be returning in this movie, including a few characters which Square deems "will make you wonder why in the heck they are there".

And personally, I like the fact that its more real now. I never really did like cloud's super deformed anime design.

Ginkasa · 10-04-2003, 03:37 PM

Well, I never liked the SD characters during the actual game either. But I see no reason why they should change the look of this movie so much from the style of FFVII's FMVs.

Because the style of FFVII's FMVs is over 6 years old? If they had today's technology back then, I'm sure the game would look something like Advent Children.

FFVII GAME

FFVII MOVIE

I suppose it's a matter of opinion, but I'm all for the AD design.

I've never played FFVII

but I plan on doing so.

I forgot about Cloud being a clone of Sephiroth... but I don't blame you for spoiling it, every gamer should have played the game by now.

The movie looks promising!! Imagine how much you will recognize from the game!

Oops, my bad. I hope I didn't ruin it for you.
