Post by: Ged on 2004-07-30 10:19:43
Ok... I may not be the first one to come up with this idea.. But..
Let this be the topic for Advent Children. Everything AC would be discussed here - one thread for all the AC stuff, not to share it into tiny little topics... As for games -- BC, and The Compilation Project please head to this topic (http://forums.qhimm.com/viewtopic.php?t=3266).. How about it?

About dying of this topic. No such thing until the movie is released. There is going to be a constant flow of infromation and news, but not everyday.. So even if nobody is posting for weeks, and all off the sudden something new comes up - please post it here. Nothing will happen, even though no one posted here for a long time. It will spare a lot of searching on the forums, and might clean it up a little bit. Square didn't release everything at once just for us to discuss, so don't worry to write a post even if it's late..

To summarise, there are two basic sites for info, screens, videos etc. - adventchildren.net and ff7ac.net ... The official site is - http://www.square-enix.co.jp/dvd/ff7ac/

Advent Children basics - taken from adventchlidren.net --

"Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is the much anticipated sequel to Square's top selling game Final Fantasy VII. The sequel however will not be in the form of a game [like Final Fantasy X-2], but instead as a CG movie.

The movie will run for somewhere between 70 and 80 minutes and will be released on DVD and UMD [for the Sony PSP]. It will feature a total of 20 characters, including the popular Cloud and Sephiroth, and is being developed by Square-Enix in conjunction with Visual Works.

It is expected to be released in Japan at the end of 2004, with a US release to follow shortly after [first quarter of 2005]. No word on a European or Australian release has been made as yet.

More information on specific areas of the film can be found in the following sub-sections.
"

Trailers?

The basic from FFX-2INT edition - R-click/Save (http://media3.ffadventchildren.com/trailers/ffviiac_hq_trailer.avi)
And the riveting E3 Trailer - R-click/Save (http://media2.ffadventchildren.com/trailers/ffviiac_e3_trailer.avi)..

Screenshots (http://adventchildren.net/ff7ac/media/screens.htm), scans (http://adventchildren.net/ff7ac/media/scans.htm)?

If there is any news post or something on the above sites, I'll try to post here ASAP.

As a starter -

--------------

FF7AC at the Venice Film Festival  
Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy Advent Children will be screened at the 61st Venice International Film Festival that will be held this year from September 1-11. Advent Children will be entered in the category "Venezia Digitale" (Venice Digital), which is a new addition to the Festival for this year. However, as a result of the unfinished state of the movie, Advent Children will not be judged as a competition entry, but will make an appearance as a guest screening.
Films at the Festival are usually entered by submission, and the issuing of an invitation to screen an unfinished movie is unprecedented. However, the quality of CG in Advent Children was judged to be particularly high, and thus in response to this honour, Square Enix will formally release a special edition of Advent Children at the Festival.
The film will be presented in Japanese, with Italian subtitles, as in accordance with the rules of the Film Festival. Screenings are open to the public.
Seeing as this is an important film festival that attracts worldwide attention, the inclusion of FF7AC is an exciting development for Square Enix, and is sure to generate more attention towards the film in the time to come.

Guided by the new omens of war, the former allies who fought together gather to meet again. Two years have passed, and each person's standing point has changed, but Cloud has only one objective. To protect those that he loves. To defend that what he believes in. And again, those allies advance to the battlefield...



(http://www.ff7ac.net/news/data/upimages/dps0730-001_2.jpg)
The scene where Cloud holds the fallen Tifa in his arms.


For the first time in long time, Cloud and Tifa meet again in that church of memories. But Cloud is too late and arrives only to see the form of the fallen Tifa. Cloud scans the vicinity while holding Tifa. It doesn't seem like there is anyone else there except for him and Tifa, but... Is this the aftermath of Tifa's fight with the mysterious young man, Loz... ?

STORY CHECK

Marlene and Tifa promised to meet Cloud again at this place, but the absence of Marlene on Cloud's arrival is worrying. Is the one that Loz is chasing really Marlene?

Cloud's fight with Kadaj in the illusionistic forest. Is he pointing at Cloud as he says, "You're a traitor!" ... ?


(http://www.ff7ac.net/news/data/upimages/dps0730-004_2.jpg)
Kadaj pointing his sword at Cloud.


Attack of that mysterious creature.
The former allies return to battle with the mass of creatures who have attacked the town. It seems like the mysterious youths are not the only enemies that Cloud and his friends face. The only thing that is clear is that the creatures bear a hostility towards humans. Are they related to the Geo Stigma disease that is sweeping the planet?

The reunion of the former allies.
Tifa, Cid, Vincent and the rest. These allies are meeting again in this town at the scene which causes them all to have premonitions of the start of a big war. Are they there because someone called them, or because they are investigating Cloud's situation? No matter the reason, they all seem to have gathered with the same objective in mind. That objective is unknown...

A little bit.

Hey, remember, she's older then many people think.

In the game she definaetly didn't look her age. In the movie she looks quite mature. And IMHO way much better. Both in clothing as looks...

Tifa was 20, Cloud 21, Aeris 22.

I don't think anyone here has seen it, but there are a load of trailers, screencaps and translations from Japanese magazines around. It's coming out in the US so even if it doesn't come to the UK, which is unlikely, you could always get it imported.

Why isn't Cid smoking, and why are his teeth so white?

SSOORRRRY for not playin the game in a few years,  :P

Now I remember...Tseng was the one with black hair.

http://bin.mypage.sk/FILES/Halkun.bmp

A visual comparison of the infamous Halkun and infamous Rude. Sorry I cant draw sunglasses too good @_@. Im not meaning to pick on anyone in anyway, and Im sorry in advance Halkun if you didnt want me drawing sunglasses on your avatar, but they do look pretty close ^_^

Post by: qwerty on 2004-07-31 09:10:26
Hehe. Pretty good match indeed. I was always wondering what Halkun would look like in sunglasses! :lol:

The Advent Children movie is coming along nicely. Hope this story comes out as good as the orginal FF7! :)  I might see it when I see it gets good reviews. Seems better graphic-wise compared to Spirits Within and seems to be getting more media talking about it. Due to the new merger with Enix or the fact that people want to see a FF movie with a story? The world may never know...

:o  
Are they related..?

Anyway, I repeat again (looks at Jedimark) please refrain from making new topics... Especially when the info has been posted a day before...

And to 56k'ers - sorry, I thought of that --- but I didn't expect them to this large.. Can I put first the links and underneath the images..? For those who don't feel like cliking?

And how do you know what colour of teeth had Cid? X3
Some in-depth direct info...? XD
Besides look at the older art, he has very white teeth there..

Oh, and how about changing the topic name whenever there is a new newsflash..?

Post by: Bunnie-Maru on 2004-07-31 15:14:19
Cait Sith is still a no show it seems...I'd love to see an updated version of it. And the fact that people are so hyped up about FF7:AC and not about the Spirits Within is because its an actual FF with actual FF characters. Same thing with the Resident Evil movie. Alot of people didnt like it because there wernt any of the memorable heros from the games.

Puh-leeze, the Halkunator is so much better than the old one. The only thing I'd really have to add is the fact that the sunglasses are SLIGHTLY off a little bit. I little shift to the right and it'd be perfect I think.

(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-cloud.jpg)
Cloud Strife
Role in FFVII: Main Character [Playable]
Role in Movie: Main Character
Cloud makes a return as the main character in the movie. He is all alone in the world, wondering if they done the right thing in attempting to save the planet. He now sports a new look wearing a black outfit instead of the purple from FFVII. He carries his trademark buster sword.
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-sephiroth.jpg)
Sephiroth
Role in FFVII: Main Character [Non-playable :wink:, enemy]
Role in Movie: Unknown
Although it is currently unknown as to what role Sephiroth will play in the movie, it is now likely that he will appear as more than just a flashback. We come to this conclusion as Square-Enix has listed him under the characters section of the official site.

(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-enemy.jpg)
Kadaj
Role in FFVII: Not in game
Role in Movie: Main character [Enemy], Leader of Silver Haired Men
One of the three Silver Haired Men [SHM]. He is in opposition to Cloud and appears to be the leader of the group. Nomura has said that the story will begin to revolve around the SHM. It has been noted that he bares a striking resemblance to Sephiroth. He uses a weapon which has been confirmed as being a refined double sword and has exceptional sword

(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-loz.jpg)
Loz
Role in FFVII: Not in game
Role in movie: Main Character (Enemy)
One of the three SHM, although the oldest of the group, he is a crybaby. His combat skills have been noted for his fight in the trailer with Cloud, and he has an extremely fast attack. He uses a weapon called "Dual Hound" which is both a shield and a gun.  
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-yazoo.jpg)
Yazoo
Role in FFVII: Not in game
Role in movie: Main Character (Enemy)
Another of the SHM, however, as with all of them, little is known about what role he will play in the movie. His weapon appears to be a kind of gunblade, and is most likely the weapon confirmed to have the name "Velvet Nightmare".
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-barret.jpg)
Barret Wallace
Role in FFVII: Playable Character
Role in Movie: Unknown
Leaving Marlene in Tifa's care, Barret is searching for a new energy to replace Mako. It has been confirmed that the function of his right arm has changed. Only one small scene showing him has been shown so far.
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-tifa.jpg)
Tifa Lockheart
Role in FFVII: Playable Character
Role in Movie: Unknown
Tifa made her first appearance in Jump magazine fighting Loz. Her wardrobe has been updated with her appearing to wear something similar to Rinoa in FFVIII. She now looks after Marlene and other orphans while working at Seventh Heaven.
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-vincent.jpg)
Vincent Valentine
Role in FFVII: Playable Character [hidden]
Role in Movie: Unknown
Vincent has been living in solitary, studying the world and knows something of the current events that are taking place. Trailers appear to have made references to "Jenova" in relation to him.
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-reno.jpg)
Reno
Role in FFVII: Non-Playable Character [enemy]
Role in Movie: Unknown
It is unknown if Reno is still working for ShinRa, or working independently with Rude. Recent images show him fighting Yazoo, and he is shown talking with Cloud, which seems to indicate opposition to the SHM.
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-rude.jpg)
Rude
Role in FFVII: Non-Playable Character [enemy]
Role in Movie: Unknown
Rude made first his appearance with Reno in the April Jump magazine. More recent images show him fighting Loz and with Reno, talking with Cloud.  
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-girl.jpg)
Marlene
Role in FFVII: Daughter of Dyne, Adopted by Barret
Role in Movie: Unknown
Marlene's role in the movie is currently unknown, although Tetsuya Nomura hinted that she and her "friends" would play an important role.
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-aerith.jpg)
Aerith
Role in FFVII: Playable Character
Role in Movie: Unknown
Aerith has been shown as part of a flashback scene showing Cloud lowering her into the lake after her death. Recently, new images have been released of her, which only causes more speculation of her role.
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-denzel.jpg)
Denzel
Role in FFVII: Not in Game
Role in Movie: Unknown
Denzel appears to be one of the orphans who lives with Tifa. Whether he is related in any way to Marlene or the "children" theme of the movie is not known.
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-cid.jpg)
Cid
Role in FFVII: Playable Character
Role in Movie: Unknown
Only one image has been released of Cid so far, with no information. He is shown holding his trademark spear weapon, which assumes he may take part in a battle or be heading towards one.  
 
(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-red.jpg)
Red XIII
Role in FFVII: Playable Character
Role in Movie: Unknown
Like Cid, only one image has been released of Red XIII and no information. Therefore his role in Advent Children is of course unknown at this time.  

(http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/images/char-wheelchair.jpg)
Wheelchair Person (?)
Role in FFVII: Not in Game (?)
Role in Movie: Unknown
Kadaj is shown bowing down to a person in a wheelchair. He is covered completely in a white sheet or robe and only his hand can be seen. This is likely a man, due to the size of the hand that is shown. Possibly this could in fact be Sephiroth himself.

So far about characters and weapons...
Note Yuffies appearance in new scans...

Aerith
Role in FFVII: Playable Character
Role in Movie: Unknown
Aerith has been shown as part of a flashback scene showing Cloud lowering her into the lake after her death. Recently, new images have been released of her, which only causes more speculation of her role.


The Aerith pic is a bit umm... emphasized on the center of her body isn't it?

There where rumours about materia in AC...
Why?
Look at their weapons. They have round slots.
Just asking for a materia to be put in.
I guess Kadaj casts the spell-which-will-play-a-big-role-in-the-movie thanks to some materia.
But thats merely speculations..
Go look at screens, Loz's weapon, Cloud's Buster Sword, or weapons on the highway Yazoo fight (E3 trailer)...

well, if you only played bit's and pieces...you probably don't know that KH really has nothing to do with any of the FF games. Nothing of the FF story, takes place in KH.... It like a parallel universe or something....Like Tenchi Muyo.

I was just suggesting that there is a 'cameo' type of link, that they might be planning.

Theatrical Release for Advent Children?

Square Enix President Yoichi Wada told Impress Game Watch recently that Advent Children may also be making its way to customers via digital downloads or screened in movie theaters. It appears that the delays experienced in development may have given Square Enix the time to explore other avenues of distribution. Nomura, too, had expressed some time back that he would like to see Advent Children being screened in the theatres, if only for a short while.
"A theatrical release for Final Fantasy VII Advent Children may not be entirely out of the question, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada told Impress Game Watch recently." - 1Up

Advent Children is getting alot of support from its fans, and is being very hyped and pumped up, and this one looks pretty good compared to Spirits Within...

Probally only in New York, Las Angeles, and other big cities like that, and then probally release them nationwide, kind of like Napoleon Dynamite, but thats just my guess. Who knows, they could sping for nation wide.

I thought Emerald and Ruby weapons were pain in the ass optional bosses, specificly if you dont have the underwater materia. Emerald Weapon just took along time, but there were tricks to get around him (9999 hp, 3 materia equiped, Aire Tam, 3,333 damage to everyone, 7,777=Lucky 7's).

Ruby was just a pain in the ass...even with level 90+ characters...

Post by: Ged on 2004-08-04 16:39:32
I thikn Threesixty meant something else..

Take FFX and FFVII for example...

FFVII bosses are mostly kill kill kill, the faster the HP goes down, and the faster you heal the more chances you have for winning...

FFX ones are strategy. You just have to play it to know it.. Mostly due to the new ATB type and more supportive items, magic, and abilities...

The ATB requires quick thinking, on your toes battles, FFVII...

FFX allows you to sit down and actually plan an attack...

But, Threesixty didnt say anything about FFX, he just said that the optional bosses didnt take as much skill, in which I pointed to Emerald and Ruby weapons. There were a few in FFVIII I believe too that were quite a pain (I remember that big cactuar...).

I was speaking of Kingdom Hearts... Cloudsquall said something about the game being aweful.... just because Disney had a part in it. I suggest giving the game a chance, and not judge it just because it has Disney characters in it.

And I was just stating that the gameplay in KH wasn't as mind-numbing as the typical RPG. Not that I don't mind the mind-numbing gameplay of typical RPG's...I mainly play them for the story and the FMV's, anyway. But it's nice to find an Action RPG on the shelves, with a decent backstory.

The storyline is pretty good in KH, too.....granted it's kinda inocent,...but it does have it's moments. I just wish they would quit the trend of putting 12 year old characters, in 20+ year old situations. I guess that's one of the reasons why I like FF7, Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Shadow Hearts, over FF8 and 9....their ages seem more believable.

And Onimusha is pretty damn good, especially the 3rd one. I want that Katana Controller...

Maybe he's a gamer who doesn't like what everyone else likes? It's kinda like music. You like something mainstream and it sucks most of the time. Emphasis on most. Sometimes, mainstream can really be worth your time though. Take Xenogears or Chronocross for example. Even MGS!! Mainstream is good for some games but bad for others. It gets to some companies' heads. So they release shit like Kingdom Hearts which I don't mind but I hate the fact that Disney is a part of a Square game. They could've used a company that isn't so childish you know... especially when most of us are way older than the audience they point the game to. Do you honestly believe that a 6 or 7 year old will want to read all of the dialog? Some kids might but I don't think they'll understand some of it as most Square games have things like adult humor and complex story structures. It's not a smart approach. Isn't this game the reason why Square had to use Enix as a life raft to start with?

The game has sold extremely well, so obviously there must be something special about it...

But who remembers that Shinji Mikami thing (The creator of the Resident Evil series) comment he made about Kingdom Hearts?  :lol:

umm, no. And I'd hardly call Enix a life-raft for Square, if anything it's the other way around....and KH was a huge success. The only gripe I have about KH is the Epileptic camera angles...and the fact that you can't turn off the subtitles....I hate games that don't include that....That's my main gripe about Xenosaga, too.

But there is really no point in me saying to try this 19.99 game for yourself....especially, if you already have your mind set in dislike it. Once you start off hating a game....nothing is likely, to change that.

To be honest...I thought it would suck, too....the only reason I bought KH, was to see Aeris, again... (awe, how cute...).
Actually if it weren't for my curosity on how the would bring her back....I wouldn't have never bought my PS2, last year.... FFX had a little to do with it, too.

If it weren't for Square...I would still be into PC's.

And I do believe that this movie is going to make up, big time, for the last one.

I've only seen it sink. In fact, I don't even know a person who owns the game. I've seen the exact amount of copies of the game on the shelves for about 3 months. Just from my experience though... I'm for the game and all just not the Disney factor. Which is why I don't own it. Would you rather have the original copy of the album or the crappy quality of the burned one? That's how I feel about it. It seems to me like this one's the burned one... It doesn't feel good to play a game that's had anything to do with Disney. Except for Aladdin for Genesis. That was fun!! And this ain't no Aladdin! :lol:

Ah yes, all the hallmarks of Disney. Using crappy actors to do voices. I'm glad I didn't buy it.

BTW, seeing Aeris again to begin with doesn't even make any sense!! And secondly, whoever made the same comment that states "awww how cute", I have to totally disagree with them. It's not even cute!! It's kinda sad really. No offense. I just can't see what's with this whole obsession of Aeris.

She died. End of story.

That doesnt make any sense. I never saw GTA:VC or MGS2 sell for 60 dollars because they did well. At a certain point, so many people that are going to buy the game already have, and extra copies are going to be left over, and companies cant have them floating around.

Quote

Do you think retailers leave shelves empty after they take something out? No, they go in the back and put more out. If you're implying no one has bought a copy in three months, then you should sit there for three months and watch it, or better yet, ask the store manager how many copies they sold. That doesnt mean anything. A few people could of bought 3 copies, you come in, see that amount, manager puts 3 more to replace it, 3 more people buy 3 copies, and you come back and see the exact same thing. It's just not solid.

Quote

As I said before, I've only played bits and pieces of it, but if you're implying its a Disney spin-off of Final Fantasy, I'd disagree. From what I played, there were a few cameos from Final Fantasy characters, but other than that, everything else was Disney. The combat system, though I wasnt a big fan of, was not like Final Fantasy's. Only thing I can see they borrowed from Final Fantasy were the summons. Its not like they took Final Fantasy VIII and replaced Squall with Donald Duck. It had its own story from what I played.

Quote
Using crappy actors to do voices.


Didnt that kid win an Emmy or some kind of award though? I dont like him personally as an actor, or the one from Dawson's Creek, but I wouldnt call them crappy. I atleast respect them because they must have some kind of talent in what they're doing to be at the level they're at, even though if I dont care for what they're doing.

Quote
the hallmarks of Disney


Im not a fan of Disney either, I've only watched a few Disney movies, like Hercules and Aladdin, which I enjoyed, and they certainly dont have crappy voice actors. The voice acting in a Disney movie is usually good. They dont have droning or unethusiastic voices.

Quote

Its fantasy. I thought you liked that? Fans wanted to see her, so they pleased the fans and showed them to her. Its a fantasy world, which is why Im not really interested in it. It doesnt have to make sense.

But as I said before, I too really dont care for this game, but it obviously must be good. There's something about it people like. Numbers dont lie, it has sold extremely well. It works for most people, but I prefer things more rooted in reality, which Kingdom Hearts doesnt scream at all. But hey, its Disney. You dont go to Starbucks hoping for a Chicken Quesadilla.

Why?  Because Disney has a reputation for makinf films for kids, any game they make or co-create therefore makes it shit, and people should hate it?

Quote from: qwerty


They could've used a company that isn't so childish you know... especially when most of us are way older than the audience they point the game to. Do you honestly believe that a 6 or 7 year old will want to read all of the dialog?


You really don't grasp this game do you?  Its not aimed completely at children. Its geared towards an OLDER audiance. 12 and up.  Hell, Kids of age 6 should even OWN a PS2 at age 6 Imo. And also, What makes you think Disney ARE so childish? hmm? Just because they make movies aimed at children that many adults ALSO enjoy.


So what company do you suggest they use instead?  The whole point of using Disney, was that they could create a nostalgic experiance that would light up flames in both Children, and parents.  Without Disney, the game wouldn't be there.  Its more or less the WHOLE plot of the game.

All very good points. I see what you mean. I just don't like my childhood to be blended in with something as seious as FF. I know it's not completely serious but I don't think having the Disney faces in there scream serious like the unplayable movie demo of FF8 or something... It seems like maybe the game was too out there for me. It's not exactly a Marvel Super Heroes VS. Capcom kind of merger after all... It's not really what I'm interested in for a game. To be honest, the Disney characters are a joke. Can you honestly say it's possible to make a dramatic trance of a game (like the PSX FFs) with faces and personalities like those of the Disney characters??

^^^There was a wooden sword in that game...in two different parts. Well, one part if you didn't choose it in the beginning..... In the very beginning the game is easy or hard depending on what answers you give to the questions, that Selphie, Titus and Wakka ask you....pretty fresh idea, if you ask me

And the thing in italics....I was reading (you the reader's) mind.

Regardless what the negative people think or say...Kingdom Hearts was a good game and the voice acting was very good... It sold so well, that Disney is going for a second round.

Seriously, qwerty....Your logic on game prices....is really out-there. Your off in your own little world.

Game that go Greatest Hits....don't get reduced in price because of poor quality.... it's because they have made enough money to please all their investers and themselves, and now they want to grab a little more cash from the more budget minded consumers. The game has already made them a huge amount of cash....Now they can afford to lower the price, and sell more copies of their game. Plus it'll adds to the anticipation of KH2 and the blockbuster first week sales of KH2, when it comes out next year.

The story of KH, is FF worthy.....and like all FF stories, it takes a while before you get hooked. You can't really judge the story by just playing it a few hours. And the introduction of Disney characters, really does blend well. And the main storyline is a little dark. If you think KH is all kiddish with bright story context.....it's not.

Ahhh yes, the hidden little quirks in all the movies, I knew it was bound to happen...

They do make attractive female leads, but then again, would you want some rather ugly woman as a lead? They also make good looking male leads too (except for the Hunchback, other than that, they're all princes and stuff). People like seeing good looking people in movies, period.

But there are a few hidden things that can be disputed...

Once again with the porn? Now it's in General forum too! Ugh!!

Anyway, my problem isn't the fact that the weapons were a bit cheap. I just don't beleive you can make a Disney character cry like an FF character. I think it's more about the dramatic story and not the comedy you're looking for. I never liked many Disney movies because they have to deal with kid issues while making it into a musical or a comedic movie. I'm looking for intricately detailed stories with great characters and dialog. I like stuff like Parasite Eve and FF8. Games that had solid, but not flawless, stories.

I like to see mistakes in a game sometimes. Not to laugh at it, but to make it seem more human. I still miss the pixelated textures of FF8... It feels more worn. It gives it a rough feeling that I like. But with Disney around, it gets really polished. KH stands for one thing that I've always hated about the entertainment industry. SALES. And with Disney around, you bet it'll be the best selling Square game yet! It's horrible. Don't you see it? THAT is why I don't like it. Don't take it the wrong way, if Disney wasn't involved I would've jumped at the game!! But it kinda kills it when the big D is around.

Yeah, running through walls and having guns stick out of my head and other glitches in a game make it extremely more human @_@.

A cry is a cry. That doesnt make any sense. Do Final Fantasy characters cry with their heads between their legs, and Disney ones cry holding a sausage? What are you trying to say?

Quote

No, Enter the Matrix, Fugitive Hunter, Aqua Man, and every sloppy thrown together in 5 minutes game that has ever existed stands for sales. They were all made for a quick buck with many flaws. Kingdom Hearts they actually put time and thought into it, and actually went the extra mile to get voice actors, and good ones at that.

Quote
And with Disney around, you bet it'll be the best selling Square game yet!


I honeslty doubt that. Im willing to bet FF9 sold more copies than it. Kingdom Hearts has the same bias towards it, that because Disney's involved, people dont want to touch it, me included, but not for that particuilar reason.

What are you basing your opinion on?

If you actually played the game for more than a few hours, then I'd accept your opinion on it. But, if your judging the game because of self-expectations and a few visuals. Then that is just being, childish.

KH does have that Squaresoft magic of storytelling. If you can/could tolerate, Final Fantasy X-2's, "bubblegum pop", moments. Disney's influence in KH shouldn't be bother you as much, as your pretending it to be.

I beleive the fact that it has disney character in it makes him think it sucks ass.  And wth are you on about, "Because disney are involved it gets polished to perfection" ?  Disney wanted the game to be like that SPECIFICALLY so it would give them a fighting chance with other RPGS of the same time.

I doubt you have even played the game.

I really feel like playing KH now...

More about Advent Children’s plot:

Recently, it was announced that Red XIII was to appear in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, where it seems he has a reason to fight. Apparently, he isn’t the last of his species and it seems they are quite hostile. It hasn’t been determined whether they are friend or foe.

As you all know, it takes place two years after Final Fantasy VII. Midgar is in ruins, but it stands now as a tribute of the sacrifice made in order to bring peace. But now, it seems that a new illness is spreading fast around. Old enemies suddenly appear and Cloud, the man who took the life of solitude instead one of a hero’s, steps up once again..

I am aware that it's not much but it interferes with other things dial-up users might be doing at the same time.

It can get really annoying when you're using AIM and downloading a file at the same time. Then to have this going on too? (not to mention your family members annoying you too)

Windows usually has a one track mind and will totally crash on you when you're doing more than 2 things online at once. Even if they're not that demanding of programs.

Do you see where I'm going with this? It can get hectic when you post the images. Try to make them a little smaller, or link them please. Thanks.

S-E Trademarks

Square-Enix has applied for two trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. They are Before Crisis and Dawn of Souls. What Dawn of Souls is would be anyone’s guess, but perhaps that Before Crisis trademark is evidence of a North American release.

A week after the launch of the game?

"Gamespot.com - Nokia moves 5 million units of its Mobile Gaming Deck, the N-Gage QD in less than 24 hours after Dawn of Souls launched this Thursday."

I can dream, cant I?

Yeah, I know. I dont even think they would spring for a Nintendo release at all with anything related to Final Fantasy 7. They chose Mobile Phones over a GBA! I find that hilarious! But then again, you never know.

Sidenote:It was a little big (80x80). I tried to reduce it to 60x60, then 70x70, and his face just got all crappy. This new one stays close to its roots. MS-07B Gouf, Mobile Suit Gundam 0079. Go Universal Century! I did like the retro-Char Aznable one too though.

The shadowing of those characters are horrible, it looks like they didnt even make a chance of even making them look like they were actually on the ground. It looks like they just plopped them on there, or they attempted to make shadows, but they placed the characters too far to the left or right.

New scans and info from Famitsu--

New information has surfaced on the new Famitsu magazine in Japan with co-director Yûsuke Naora. With new news on Reno, he uses new techniques with his stun gun which possesses more of a shock-function when used with both hands. The Church in Midgar where Cloud first meets Aeris is more significant where memories of Aeris can be remembered and can lead to more of hints to maybe an appearance in real life.

The church is also significant in the appearance of the unknown creatures that battles Cid and Red XIII as they patrol the streets of Midgar. The church has also in relation to the silver haired trio, Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo. Advent Children will see a release date somewhere towards the end for 2004 on DVD and the PSP in Japan. No EXACT AND DEFINITE release date for the United States and other countries.

(http://www.ff7ac.net/news/data/upimages/Yuffie.JPG)(http://www.ff7ac.net/news/data/upimages/Zack.JPG)

Two little pictures have crossed the net taken from the most recent issue in Japanese Magazine Jump. One shows the face of Yuffie, one of the optional but important characters in VII and one blurry shot of what may look like Zack.

These shots are taken directly from not disclosed finished copy of Advent Children of the DVD version. The roles of Yuffie and Zack are also not talked about if they are either both flashbacks from the game or proved to be actually real for the movie. Talking with Zack may proven to be a flashback.

Advent Children is slated to hit the shelves in Japan before the end of this year and with a U.S. release for 1st Quarter next year followed by releases at Europe.

He is called Loz.

You can easily notice the hair is much more darker then silver.. He indeed resembles Zack, but that's not sure. Althought I doubt they would ommit Zack in FF7:AC.. But come to think of it.. It looks like he's sitting in the truck that he and Cloud used to get into Midgar.. Just a little tilted camera view.

After the PSP slaughters the DS first  :P

I dont care if the damn thing makes toast, Im getting a PSP for the games, simple as that. All the other crap are just little bonuses. I just find it quite funny how everyone kept saying how Nintendo beat all the other companies because their systems are always so portable, yet now the DS is about the size of a brick when closed XD

Post by: sfx1999 on 2004-08-20 20:14:01
Well, how big do you think the PSP will be, eh?

I don't know who will slaughter who. It most likely will break down to whoever has the best battery life or something like that.

Remember that the PS2 did so well because it was backwards compatible with the PS1. Well, the DS is compatible with GB, GBC, and GBA.

It could go either way. Here I made some pros and cons:

Nintendo DS
pros:
compatible with all GBs
cartdriges are duarable
cons:
consumers may not be willing to accept the dual screens
cartdriges cost more than mini CDs

Sony PSP
pros:
some good licenses (MGS)
CDs are cheaper than cartridges
cons:
CDs are fragile.
motor for CD can really diminish battery life
moving parts

OK so the DS is bigger than the PSP, but PSP will require hard cases for it's games, so you may actually save room with the DS if you have a carrying case.

Post by: Bunnie-Maru on 2004-08-20 23:23:47
Well, lets not forget...

The PS1 library had a huge LIST of amazing games. GBA only has about of handful of A+ titles, around 80% of them made by Nintendo. The crap outweighs the good, just run by EB Games or Gamestop and browse through the GBA section.

The PSP is about the size of a Neo-Geo, except much thinner. It's definely more thinner and sleaker than the DS. They're about the same width, but the DS is much thicker due to the folding screen. Not only that, but the PSP screen is huge! I also remember something about it being non-reflection, so there wouldnt be light issues. Either way, the screen is much much bigger than any handheld I've ever seen. The PSP beats DS in the size department either way, pick up any gaming mag that has analyzed the two, and the PSP always has the edge portability wize. Only thing they need is a screen cover really.

I honestly dont see the PS2 being successful just because of backwards compatibility. Not alot of people even use the backwards compatability. Its nice when you first buy it right off and shelf and not alot of games are out, but I dont think thats why people bought it.

By hard cases, do you mean the little shells they put the UMD's in to protect people from copying them? Or the plastic cases that you buy them in? I've seen pictures of them, and they're not as big as the PS2 and Xbox cases, even though they look EXACTLY like them. It kind of threw me off at first, but when you see them put up next to eachother, they're not big at all.

Battery life isnt really an issue for me, because with games its supposed to be 10 hours. GBA SP had a battery life of 10 hours with the backlight on, and I always had the light on, even during the day, it just gives a better screen quality. 10 hours is pretty long really. 8 hours for MP3's isnt too shabby either (Even though Sony just released that 20 gig MP3 player with 30 hours of battery...). The only real flaw the PSP has with battery is movies, 2.5 hours. What happens if you have a 3 hour movie? But they are selling an external battery pack, so if you really need to play games for 11 hours straight...@_@.

The thing that I dont like about the DS is that its release line up isnt that impressing compared to Sony. Sony is doing what it did to the console market, its time to grow up, put down the magical mushrooms and pick up the M4  :evil:

I not buying a DS, and I rather not carry around a clunky brick that cant even fit in my pocket. Not only that, but the touch screen makes the games harder to play, as you have to take one hand off the controler to use the stick. What happens if you're playing Metroid and get slaughtered again and again because your hand wasnt on the buttons but on the stick?

And the external battery pack will take care of any problems, even though 10 hours is good enough.

I'll start with an unrelated comment:

I'm not a huge fan of the dual screen thing either, but I wouldn't count the system out yet... remember what we learned from the Xbox and it's size? Don't judge a console until you've actually used it. This is why there are so many demos of consoles at your local electronics store! (In other words, just wait until it comes out and try it out as soon as you can. If you don't like the thing, don't buy it.)

Now for a worthwhile comment:

The AC pics are looking better everyday. Keep feeding our AC addiction Ged! :D

I already judged it when it was much bigger with bigger carts and 4 controller ports and had no screens  :P

And also, theres a difference between the Xbox's size and the DS's size

The Xbox is a console. Im not going to have to carry this thing around with me every day. But if I gotta carry a portable system with me that has a crap line-up of N64 games with four players, I'd rather not have it be a bulky plastic brick  -_-

The things fairly big yes, but the graphics are of n64 quaility, and lets face it, look at what append with gamecube, the markerting about how small it is didn't seem to help much no? And for me its weight, not size that matters (in reason) for a potable, I got pretty big pockets and can easily carry around my gameboy advanced and a couple games in one pocket :o . However if it weighs to much so that is uncomfortable to carry around...[/quote]

Post by: Bunnie-Maru on 2004-08-21 20:29:30
The marketing about it being small failed because its useless, its a stupid reason for them to base an advantage off of. Our console's smaller, making it portable? Yeah, just gotta slap in a 50 dollar battery pack and a 100 (50 if you get the cheap one) dollar monitor onto the top of it. And its not as portable as you think. My brother got that screen and battery pack when we used to have one, it sucks having to rest it on your lap.

And yes, the graphics are not that stellar. Like I said, I already tried it out 7 years ago when it had four controller ports and no screens. If I remember correctly, the DS outweighs the PSP. The PSP has been officially weighed at 260g, Nintendo has yet to release the DS weight OR battery life. Insiders who have touched it at E3 though have said that the DS is much bulkier. Just flip open a gaming magazine comparing to, such as GameInformer July Issue, or EGM July/August Issue.

Only thing "supposedly" wrong with the PSP is the battery life, but as I said, 10 hours is more than enough in my view with a rechargable battery. And the battery issue can be fixed with the extra battery pack, you cant fix a bulky system with dated graphics and lack-luster launch titles.

The uk one comes with a built in version of RealONEplayer, and has an FM radio built in.  also, you can download the games on certain websites, and use a app on the phone called the "blizzard" installer.  This unpacks the .blz files you download onto the memory card, making the Ngage think its got a game card in there.

Games range from 1 meg, to about 25

Some are much better than others IE Splinter cell is the best out imo.

Hey, how come we dont get any damn exclusives from Microsoft!?!

Nokia is giving the Europeans movie viewers, radios, and downloadable games, Sony and Nintenda are releasing accessories left and right for the Japanese, even the Japanese get color-exclusive consoles from Microsoft!

Translations for vJump (http://www.adventchildren.net/jp0823-1.jpg) scan -

Advent Children

"Who's using my Materia?" [Yuffie]

- Does Materia exist 2 years on from FFVII?

- "Hiirin", a place where Cloud has been invited to by someone. It lies deep in the forest, with no signs of life.

- A memorial resembeling Meteor stands profoundly in the middle of the town...

"Then perhaps you tricked me?" [Kadaj]

- Kadaj raises his voice on the phone. What's the meaning behind his words?

- Zack is seen in a pick-up truck. He will be seen in the DVD though it's unknown what role he will have in the movie, and whether he will only be in flashbacks or in the thoughts of other characters.

- V-Jump has stated the release date as "undecided" rather than as "2004", thus, there is a possibility that the release date has been changed.

Nice screenshot. Looks like some theories will be made and broken around here with this movie then, perhaps explain what everyone is trying to explain, but Im sure Im not the only person who just gave up on the 5th post @_@.

How come they didnt advertise the movie or radio feature? I havent heard ANYTHING about that...

Do you mean commercials?
They are running round the Japanese TV and I heard there were trailers on the American as well, but not as commercials since they do not know how and when.

I was referring to the features listed on the N-Gage that everyone is listing, I havent heard half of them...

Back to the movie thing, I'd still like to find out what happened to the guy who played Cait Sith. Did he just die off or something? I havent seen his name anywhere in the character list (But it doesnt help I dont remember his name, as usual...)

Reeves..

I hope he will be at least mentioned - he was such a great character in general.

Post by: Bunnie-Maru on 2004-08-24 20:25:10
He was about the only person in ShinRa who had any morals, to not hear his name even spoken in the movie would be a shame. If its supposed to be a sequel, then why would they just leave him out? No mention of him or Cait Sith at all...-_-

Hmm i think cait sith would ruin the style of ffac.. Its just that in the game it was like an sd style with pudgy characters so cait sith fit in there, but now the movies more realistic and the characters look more like real people it might be weird to have a fat white thing with a cat with a microphone on its head walking around.

Although Reeves (for those not in topic - the Shinra member who controlled Cait Sith) is a must..

I think you would be able to have a Cait Sith model in there with a nice subtle color tone, not so bright, but a more duller kind of shade, while still having that animal-mascot feel. Wouldn't that work?

Everytime I see more stuff the more I get the feeling that they're gloating more about the graphics then the overall storyline. It seems that everyone has forgotten it. In which case I'll wait a week and see what people think before going to see it. After all, I don't want my most favourite game ruined like they did with the matrix sequals(not fully the same way, but you get the idea).

The AC trailer was really cool yes, they displayed it once on the big screen (before restricting it to ticket showings)... My jaw basically dropped through the floor.

So, those monsters looked summoned by the white-haired gang... and the "magic attack" from Cloud released earlier is actually him flying up towards one of the monsters to attack. Also the other FF7 characters appear to help battle the monsters, in what almost seems like a final battle. Well anyway, certainly hyped me up.

I connected those dots too. People see the movie, see the phone, go buy the phone, see the ad for it, go "Hey, look at that new game somewhat related to the movie I just saw and the new phone I got that was in the movie that is somewhat related to this game. It'd be pretty neat if I played it on my new phone."

The AVI needs some audio/video sync work, it looks like.  Or maybe I have a codec problem, seems that Nero decided to install an audio codec that is being used by this video, anyone else notice that the video is out of sync?

If you want to download it without clicking through a million links, I have set up a mirror (http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/!!stuff/qhimm/ff7ac_20041213.avi) (right-click "Save Target As...").

If someone wants to translate it, I can fix the audio and make a little subtitled movie like before...

Post by: Qhimm on 2004-12-11 15:33:35
The person in the wheelchair is distinctively male (hint: his voice). You can also get a glimpse of his eyes/face in the 4 minute trailer, enough to remove Tseng from the list of suspects. My personal guess? Rufus Shinra.

Oh, and btw I've translated most of the two trailers (also some of the DoC trailer). There are just some odds and ends to sort out, and I'll post/send to Aaron for subtitling.

Post by: Qhimm on 2004-12-12 05:03:16
Well Rufus is a likely candidate. Not only did we never see his corpse in the game (the camera cuts away and we never see him again), he would also have a good reason to be in a wheelchair with a cloth over his face (his office was blown out with him inside it, he must've gotten severe injuries and burns).

As for FFVII-2... We have Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus. It's entirely possible the original FFVII-2 ideas (rumors a while back) are now represented in one or more of these releases. In any case, if there are even more FFVII games coming, chances are people will start to get bored of it... ;) (Eventually Criticized)

This is the 4min TGS'04 trailer in best quality so far.
Zer0 of FF7AC already made a subtitled version, altough it's currently unavailable. Here we also translated in into Polish, though except Maverick (and partially Alhexx) I didn't notice anyone else here who would be from Poland..

Heh, cool. Guess I won't have to wrestle with those last bits of my own translation then (other than for personal satisfaction and deeper understanding) :P. Not sure if these will be the final subs used in the actual release, but they were pretty thorough as it is so they probably will.

Good job at digging those subs up and bringing them to the hungry masses. ;)

Just to info.. The 4-minute trailer Aaron posted is a the 2-min trailer from Young GanGan DVD (with subs) and another 2-min trailer from E3 (eng) joined into one file. Although the quality is outstanding for both, so it's definaetly worth downloading. The E3 trailer is still my favourite (YazooxCloud on highway + TifaxLoz in the church)..

Well Rufus is a likely candidate. Not only did we never see his corpse in the game (the camera cuts away and we never see him again), he would also have a good reason to be in a wheelchair with a cloth over his face (his office was blown out with him inside it, he must've gotten severe injuries and burns).

Nobody saw what coming now? ;)

I still think it's pretty shameless to make this movie but hey, I guess SE needs to make money somehow.  (I don't think they are doing as well as they would like).

Well Emporer forget to have that special spoiler black out thing yeah that's the ticket.

Title: bad feeling about this
Post by: yoshi314 on 2004-12-25 22:29:01
i think ff7:ac will suck. why? because it's not interactive :/
and it's gonna be at most 2-3 hours long. this is no compensation for an awesome game that squeenix might finally make :|

another sad thing is that square is doing its usual fan-ripoff thing. if the ff7:ac makes a financial success they'll make...a series? another movie? or maybe a game. my guess is that they'll make all that and more. just to limit-break our pockets.

and if the movie doesn't work out financially they'll propably forget ff7. forever. i don't know which option sucks more.

either way it's gonna be a rip-off. either we pay for a dvd, which may not make a success and doom ff7-2-ish chances forever, or it could be just a first step to make us pay more and more hoping for a ff7-2. [they already tried this by giving people an incomplete, unsatisfying ending in FFX, forcing people to make requests for a second part - as someone in square said, they didn't feel like abandoning their accomplishment with the epic world of FFX, so they just give people a reason to wait for the second part of the story set in the same world = less work to do, same/more money to get]

i don't have anything against FF7:AC .the trailers are awesome. and the movie might be great [if they don't screw up the script or something]. but it might fail just as previous movie did [i actually really liked it, i don't get it why it failed]

yeah i had a feeling that white cape dude could be rufus or sephiroth or some clone, maybe some bigger jenova's part left out. who else would these guys obey? [heidegger was too fat to fit into a wheelchair anyway:D] [i also thought for a while that this could be cloud's clone, since it's not clear in FF7 if the cloud that falls into the lifestream is the same one that emerges from it, maybe something weird happened in the lifestream. well what about tifa then....she was also there.oh..forget it:D]

FF7:AC will suck because its not...interactive?

You must not like movies in general then if thats your main beef with it.

I just find it weird, everyone screams "More! More! We want more!", then once they get it, "No, its horrible, you're ruining it!" Seems people just like to bitch :/

I see nothing wrong with the movie. If it were titled "Final Fantasy: Advent Children", and removed the 7, and changed the characters names and looks, I doubt people would be dismissing it so soon. But because it has those known-faces, everyone assumes bloody hell. Your only complaint with it is its tied to FF7 basically. If all ties to FF7 were severed, would you still think it was going to suck based on the trailers and information leaked out?

Have optimism people. Give things a chance before you go blindly dismissing things.

So.. whos gonan translate this? I can gather most of what all that was due to past trailers, and the line at the end i THINK is "I will not be just a memory", based on initial Venice/montreal pre-screenings, but still.  It'd be nice to ahve a translation =)

 Nope, it's not: In ff7, he didnt have his coat.  Also, in the 30 minute preview shown in venice and montreal, this is a scene shown in conjunction with the scene in which we see Cloud facing an avalanche of falling debris, with Sephy at it's center.  So, it's him in real-time =)

We'll all have to wait til it gets released but I'm gonna hate Square for quite a while if they dub the movie using people who don't fit into the roles (Princess Mononoke, anyone?).

Post by: halkun on 2005-01-31 06:02:16
1st, Spirited Away was probably the best dubbing I have ever seen done with Anime. Sadly, there was a bit of a plot point that was mistranslated, but it's forgiviable.

2nd, Sony will probably be dubbing it, not Disney.

3rd, As I speak Japanese I'll probably be seeing this the day it's released on DVD.

4th, it's not like it's going to be fansubbed 30 seconds after it's released. It will be most likely be availible using some protocol that rhymes with "Borrent", not that I advocate that kind of thing.

Which reminds me, when the movie comes out, treat any movie requests, reguardless of fansubbing, with the same response as a request for the FF7 game. I'm pretty sure with the way Square has been shutting down fansubed trailors, they are going to be adopting a zero-tolerance to anything even remotely looking like an Advent Children link. Keep in mind, this movie can seriously break SquareEnix. They don't have the ability fallback like they did with FF:TSW. If this movie doen't make it, they are dead meat.

Just a heads up.

The plot point was the seal and the reason why Yubaba and her sister were fighting.

You see, The "Golden seal" was actually a "Hanko" or name stamp. Whenever you want to sign an offical document in Japan, you would use your name stamp at the bottom of the page. It's relly inconvenant without it because you can't even sign for  a package delevery, pay a bill, or use your credit card.

Well, Yubaba stole *NAMES* in order to control them, and what Yubaba did was steal her sister's name stamp. Not for any vile reason, just because of simple sibiling rivelry. It was "Ha Ha! Look what I got!" kind of childish prank. There was nothing magical, but Chihiro though it would be proper to return Yubaba's sister's "name" back to her.

Make sense?

According to 1UP.com the release date of advent children is gonna be the 14th of March (to coincide with psp US release). But as always Square-Enix haven't confirmed this so we'll just have to wait and see.

14th of March its going to be in Japan? I'm wondering if its going to hit US theatres.. After the flop of spirits within I would hope it hits theatres, but who knows..

I also apologize in advance if any of this was covered earlier.. LoL I just skimmed this page..

It will probably be fansubbed ripped and encoded within 24 hours of its release ANYWHERE in the world.. LoL Naruto is subbed currently hours after its airing in Japan.. Yeah, it's licensed, but hardcore followers are still subbing it.. And when it actually airs on TV here they will probably cut it up and totally butcher it..

I'm really looking forward to FF7:AC as I'm sure everyone on this message board is..

14th of March would be... weird, to say the least. I recall reading an interview with Uematsu-san dated early March in which he said he would probably finish the score for Advent Children in one or two more months. Still, I guess the interview could have been older than indicated, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for a March release...

Ok, thanks.

I wondering if it was a game because Ged said on page two of this thread something about PLAYABLE and not-playable characters. So I thought FF7:AC would be a game.
