Some more images here: http://www.gamespot.com/ps/rpg/finalfantasy7/screenindex.html

High resolution, and some new ones too... aerial view of the Midgar Church, for example.  8)

I wonder where they're from, is there a new (high-res) trailer out?

Dunno, they're probably from the actual movie. Well done with the pictures!  :)

Hi!

Look! I started a message with 'Hi!' again!  :lol:

Anyway, when I watched the trailer, does anybody else think that Sephiroth looks like a woman when he is surrounded by all of the flames? I think he's lost his 'sinister' look about him. He just doesn't look like everyone knows him to look like.  :-?

I'm still going to see it if it gets out of Japan translated.  :D

xeriouxi.

Is it me or are all games from Japan that are becoming more realistic in detail showing predomintly asian facial characteristics? Just look at the noses on the characters.. I don't mind it.. but ALL of them are doing that, even FF10 had considerable use of it on Tidus.

I wouldn't mind it so much but on those images it's pretty obvious it's for an asian only audience. I don't think most people have the same image of Cloud or Sephiroth that those images represent.  I can only guess they got those from the original concept drawings used (hehehe). Which would be fine if the original game looked like that, but it does.

Since i'm too lazy to edit my old post, or maybe i just want to keep it going, i've got some more info...
The Staff are:
 Director : Tetsuya Nomura
Game writer : Kazushige Nojima
Co. director : Takeshi Nozue
Art director : Yusuke Naora(he designed the sword that the guy with silver hair wields)
Producer : Yoshinori Kitase
Co. producer : Shinji Hashimoto
Composer : Nobuo Uematsu(Yay!!!)
Mechanic/creature design : Takayuki Takeya (Freelance designer. He designed 'Fenrir' the moterbike Cloud rides)

Nomura stated that there will be 20 main characters, but the film itself only lasts 50/60 odd minutes.

Also, in the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation Magazine, Tetsuya Nomura was interviewed:

Quote from: Dengeki PS Magazine interviewing Nomura


DPM: Why was a movie sequel to Final Fantasy VII decided for development, and when was it decided?

TN: About a year back, Visual Works (a company that has developed CG movies for Square) picked FFVII as the theme for a presentation that they were going to create. Our research and development department worked with them on its launch, and I joined the crew after producer Kitase-san called me. It's going to be released as a sequel, but it was planned to just be a visual presentation in the beginning.

DPM: Why is Advent Children a movie instead of a game? Are there any differences between making a game and making a full movie?

TN: First of all, we started off from the project that Visual Works was handling, but they can't make a game on their own. We tried to see if we could make it into a game, but it wasn't possible due to a number of factors. As a result, we decided to stick with the original plan and work on it as a movie production. The development isn't too different from the way we make movies that get used in our games, but our schedule is a bit tight. We need to keep the cost down since it's not a game, but [we still need to] maintain high quality.

DPM: Are there any differences between creating movies for games and creating Advent Children?

TN: There are more efforts put into the textures and the atmosphere. We usually need to balance [the movie graphics] with the game screen, but there are no such limitations in Advent Children, so we're going all out on it.

DPM: What meaning does Final Fantasy VII have for you?

TN: It was the Final Fantasy game that I was most involved in, and it is also my favorite. It's also where the series takes a radical change [from past FF titles].

DPM: How is production going?

TN: We are at about 10 percent done. Not all the characters have been created yet, but the scenario has already been completed.

DPM: Were there any things that you were especially careful about when bringing back Cloud and Sephiroth to the screen?

TN: What you are seeing now is the result of numerous explorations. Since it was impossible to bring the look [from FFVII] directly to the new realistic look (in Advent Children), the characteristics that would allow anybody to recognize Cloud and the others were left behind on them.

DPM: What kind of standing does the new character fighting with Cloud have?

TN: He is an enemy.

DPM: Were the characters in Advent Children's promotional video animated through motion capture?

TN: They were animated by motion capture, but that capture was recently taken for promotional use. It isn't a part of the main movie.

DPM: Are the battle scenes also created through motion capture?

TN: Many are, but parts that aren't humanly possible are done by hand.

DPM: Will the characters have voices? And will it be in English or Japanese?

TN: The characters will have voices, but I can't answer more.

DPM: What is the theme of Advent Children?

TN: Nojima, who handles the scenario, says that it won't be something soft, like healing. It will be about survival.

DPM: Where, specifically, will Advent Children take place? Will it be somewhere from the original Final Fantasy VII?

TN: It's hidden in the logo.

DPM: How long will Advent Children be?

TN: It is planned to run for 60 minutes.

DPM: Are there any chances for a FFVII sequel to be developed as a game after the release of Advent Children?

TN: I hope that this project may lead to something, since we woke up something that was sleeping.

Hope this is enough information to keep you all happy.
Enjoy!

From what i saw, Hojo was the only one who *messed*around with Lucrecia. Besides, if it was Vincent's son, why would OWA be playing, and why would mr unknown be trying to kill Cloud, Vincents freind? and why would Vincent be dressed like that, anyway?
IMO, the guy(or girl) in the wheelchair is either J-E-N-O-V-A(i just had to make it look dynamic :D )or possibly Sephiroth, seeing as in the trailer as the
Spoiler: show
guy with silver hair looks up at the wheelchair guy, and the image flicks to Sephiroth in the flames once he's burnt down Nibelheim
. Maybe Square Enix were trying to hint it was him...?

Hmm, wonder if Joey has found himself another nick? The style of the story seems awfully familiar... ;) An interesting thought about the story of AC, but with claims way too wild for me to believe it just yet. :)
