The action was cool, but it was really, really, really skimpy on the story. Alot of characters just show up for the sake of showing up and fighting for a couple of minutes; most of the gang have little more than a few lines each, if any. Kind of defeats the purpose of having them there at all. You see a character appear on the screen and say 'hey! There's soandso!' ...and then that's it.

It's cool to see the FFvii crew back in action, but the movie was a let down for me.

lol.... the movie rocked... it mainly focuses on Cloud... the film was always gonner be around Seppy and cloud... What else could they have done a film about??? the FF7 script is too long to cut down for a film.. and advent children is for the fans.... any none ff7 person will only just understand the story.... doing a movie like this is tricky..... I hope the Halo film is just as good...

I'm the biggest FFVII fan around. That's why I'm dissapointed, the movie had alot to live up to. I understand it's difficult to add much to a 50hour long story in a hour and fifteen minutes, but that doesn't change the fact that quite simply not much at all happened during the movie.

You need to insert some commas in that last statement there Jargon, kind of difficult to read towards the end.

Anyway. How old are you hardcore Final Fantasy VII fans. Because I am 18 and don't remember nothing about this game growing up. I didn't hear about it or anything. When did this game come out. Was this game out when I was a baby or too young to play or what because after all of the hype and attention this game is getting and being called one of the best Final Fantasy games ever, I am kind of envious of you who played it and I want to play it myself. It is old though so maybe I don't want to play it, I don't know. Because I will probably be the only one in the world playing it now. Well, that's how i'll feel anyway. You know it's old when they don't even sell it anymore, at least no where I have seen. So maybe it's too late for me. I know none of yall are still playing it are you?

The Doom Master
hey, powerfulone. its been a while!

i really couldn't give a care about storyline in a movie with so much ACTION in it. i saw a trailer (but haven't seen the actual movie yet), and it seemed so good. i mean, come on, sephiroth defending every single one of clouds blows with a sword, like, not even half its size. that was awesome. can you tell me one thing though? is there any gore? if there is, that would make it all the more better!

The Doom Master
just read your message powerfulone. im only thirteen. ff8 came out when i was around 9, if i can remember correctly. and im still playing it!

powerfulone1987
But when did FFVII come out.

Well I guess I was just oblivious to the Final Fantasy Series back then and I regret it. I wish I had another kid family member that lived near me and could of educated me on good games when i was younger but I didn't.

So I just missed out on the early Final Fantasy games. My first one was FFX. I also played FFX-2. I plan on playing all of the future ones.

I will not make the same mistake twice.

How did yall find out about the Final Fantasy series so early in the game.

Doom Master, you say it's been a while. Where do I know you from?

The Doom Master
too young to remember when it came out, but i was alive!

the first one i actually played was 8, and i'm still damn stuck against that person who has rinoa! and can't beat her because of the fact that the bosses get more powerful if you get more powerful! it stops it from getting boring quickly because you can't whoop the bosses after one try (most of the time!), but against her, its just plain annoying!

as for where i know you from, on the "reshef of destruction help needed" forum? ringing any bells? no? anyway, i beat paradox. i just beat marik a whole bunch of times to raise my duellist level to 274 and put mechanical chaser in my deck!

powerfulone1987
So FFVII came out a long time before FFVIII?

Hit_and_Miss
Powerfulone... Final fantasy 7 came out with the orginal Playstation... My friend got it for xmas in a pack... He didn't know the game... most people didn't.... But once you play FF7... you don't stop...

Jargon343
Final Fantasy VII came out in either 1997 or '98. I was about 12 or 13 when I first played it and I'm 21 now.

It only came out a year or two before FFVIII.


...Yeah, it was August of 1997 it came out.


How did I find out about it? Some of you younger guys probably don't remember this but Final Fantasy 7 was quite the sensation when it came out. Squaresoft spent alot of money putting together commercials that showed alot of the FMV sequences of the game...sequences that were totally unheard of graphically at the time as far as videogames go. There was even a SuperBowl commercial.

Not to mention that all of the game magazines had been talking about it for years.

so noone realises that this is not a computer/video game.. thus being the wrong forum..

and on top of that.. you're not special in having seen advent children, just to let you know.. so basically what I'm saying is that this is a stupid thread on illegal material, considering this movie isnt even out yet, and secondly... there are people who havent seen it yet, and dont care to stumble across any spoilers.. have some respect for them.. k thx

Hit_and_Miss
Whats the matter sats... jealous some of us have seen it???

You can add it to the list of successful movies from video games....

SaTsuJiN
lmao.. duh.. thats because 'they' made the movie 'and' the game perhaps?..

and I'm hardly jealous, as I can guarantee I've seen it ages before you.. but my point is that all these stupid posts that just sit here and brag about having seen it , are just nonstop, as if someone is supposed to be impressed... just sickens me

noone cares if you've seen it

noone cares what you thought of it, til after its official release, or unless someone asks for your opinion

not to mention none of you ever add spoiler tags.. keep the people who havent seen it in mind before you run around posting stupid things

Hit_and_Miss
Please point out the spoilers that have been said...

How did you see it before me??? whats your inside secret???

Why are you being soo bitchy satsujin??? we are just talking about final fansty....

SaTsuJiN
because, advent children is not a game.. its a work of cinema, so it doesnt belong here...dont worry how I've seen it

as for the spoilers.. you could say I'm doing a 'pre-emptive strike'.. letting people know to be polite before the spoilers start coming.. I know these types already... i.e. "Snape kills dumbledore" anyone?

and I'm not being bitchy, I'm being realistic..

Hit_and_Miss
thanks for that... I haven't read the 5th book yet... I was going to soon... I had avoided all the harry threads not wanting to know who died... but you just ruinned that....

SaTsuJiN
oh well.. if 'spoiler : highlight to read' wasnt clue enough for you.. then it just makes you look bad

Hit_and_Miss
Theres nothing to spoil in a FF thread... but reveling secrets in other threads makes you look bad....

sith_darth_jay
satsujin> a lot of people will hate you for that spoiler, it's in the wrong thread...and it's a terrible way to prove your point


and I think this belongs here, because the people that would see this movie will be mostly FF fans

SaTsuJiN
'this' particular forum isnt a movie forum.. or else it would say so..
so this technically does not belong here unless it was an "FF VII"
thread and then the movie was discussed as a chain of the story continuation

secondly, if you're going to just reveal a "random" spoiler (which is being used as an example, and has been shouted in world of warcraft for the past 2 months) for yourself.. noone else made you do it but guess who.. yourself.. uhuh.. thats right..noone else clicked and dragged your mouse but you

There are many compilation of FF VII!

Satsujin I don't get you some times... I didn't know about the book. I stayed away from the threads soo not to ruin it for me.... When I go to a thread I expect the spoilers to be about the topic of the thread.... what you did was lame and stupid... Just appologise for it. don't become a bigger ass trying to dodge your way out of it...

I don't play WOW

SaTsuJiN
noone else clicked and dragged your mouse but you

yes

xmarksthespot
I don't give a crap about Harry Potter but posting unrelated spoilers without warning that the spoiler is about Harry Potter is just rude. No amount of idiotic nodding smilies changes that.

SaTsuJiN
it was perfectly related.. I gave a prime example of how people ramble about throwing spoilers into the air without consideration of others.. but you (just like the other 'bandwagon' youngins) fail to realise that I put it in a spoiler tag.. which required the extra laborious effort to highlight it in order for it to be spoiled.. the actual spoiling was done by the person who undertook that effort, not me..a spoiler tag is warning all by itself.. noone needs to explain what is being spoiled.. it could be anything from.. 'wow this thread is so dumb' to 'oh gosh.. I'm so incorrigably rude because someone else spoiled their own surprise' and its so cute to talk of idiotic smilies when you have one in your sig btw

Hit_and_Miss
So if I was to go into the english lost thread and post spoilers about the shows i've seen would that be ok??? (Ive seen all the american episodes... england is about 15 episodes behind...

Satsujin, you are wrong... You shouldn't put spoilers about none relating material in a thread....

SaTsuJiN
Should people who are 'truely' concerned about stuff being spoiled.. read spoiler tags?... no expression

better yet.. click here http://www.themoviespoiler.com/ you can blame it on me just like before big grin
seeing how you dont take responsibility for your own motor functions

Hit_and_Miss
yes but I wouldn't talk about harry potter here... I would go to a harry potter thread... Same with your spoilers... they should be on topic.. or warning people they are about a different topic if there on about something other then what the thread is about...

You know this.. but are just trying to save face for your mistake... I understand...

xmarksthespot
If you read the accompanying text, it says I hate all the other smilies.
Someone three years older than me is calling me youngin'. Now that's cute.

Hmm... so if I go into a thread and post random spoilers completely unrelated to the thread topic that's not rude at all. It's the fault of anyone who highlights them that something off-topic got spoiled without any prior warning.

ok. Well I missed all the commercials and stuff about it. I wished I had got that bundle pack because I would have liked to play the game.

And to let certain people know and they know who they are. I had to stop reading this thread after you started talking about Harry Potter Spoilers. I mean haven't I suffered enough. I haven't even started the second chapter and I know way more than I should.

I mean come on. And out of all the spoilers why the Harry Potter book. A BOOK. I mean this is the game forum. It seems you can't be safe anywhere anymore on here. I've alreayd banned myself form the Harry Potter Thread until i finished the book because spoilers was there left and right so don't make me have to ban myself form this thread too. It is after all my favorite one.

Yall have gone and done the worse thing yall could have did in yalls whole life..............................................................

Nobody forced you to read this thread. So I guess if I were to reveal a spoiler about FFVII:AC then it would be your fault for opening a discussion thread about the movie and reading it right? No one forced you to except...uhuh...that's right...you buddy.

You sir, have a brain made of monkey feces, which explains why you are so retarded.

Here's a spoiler: no one will ever love you. Go **** yourself.

Hit_and_Miss
Satsujin... are you that annoyed that people started a similar thread to the one you initaly started, that you've set out to ruin this one??

We were having a nice discussion about ff7 and people who HAVE just seen advent children...

I didn't know it was about harry potter until someone pointed that out, I thought it was about FF VII AC and didn't look at it. either way I don't care about the spoiler (luckily I already read the book), the point here it's that you chose a really heavy spoiler (for HP fans) to make your point and that's just wrong. iIt is contradictory seeing how your bitchin about a thread being in the wrong place and then using a spoiler that's clearly not appropriate for "this" forum.

the thread is not in the wrong thread until the mods moves it or closed it, for the looks of it, it may get close for all the fighting

come on satsujin, you're more intelligent than this
