Final Fantasy 7 : Advent Children (Movie)

im pretty sure this movie will be alot different from the one you saw before.

I wouldn't judge Final Fantasy by watching the film 'The Spiits Within'. I thought that was a massive disapointment. It can't be compared to 'Advent Children'.

ya thats the one hes tlaking about i personally liked that movie but advent children is bette rin action not animation the stroy in spirtis within i thought was more intreaging
but advent children is really good and just sort alets yout hink after you watch it im not giving anything away since it comes out next month

You need to play the game to have a full appreciation for the movie. End of story.

Well that sounds definite and final.

Well I am sure I won't have played the game by the time the DVD comes out so hopefully I can still take a lot from it.

but there is so much to the game. no way they'll be able to cover enough of it0 in the movie for it to make complete sense.

well i understood most of the stuff but just not how jenova was a big planet

...Jenova wasn't a big planet 😑

lol, your entire sig is like a billboard for idiots.. its nice that you did that anyways though 😖

Well, if people are too stupid to actually read the thread......

Well, now nobody has an excuse for saying "I couldn't find the information" since I've posted on most of the pages, and so this image will be there. Sad, but it seems to not really be working either.

A friend of mine hadn't played the game since it was released in 97 so I had to sit her down and explain the whole damn plot, it wasn't easy but she got the gist of it. But I know someone who never played a FF game in her life & she loved AD. I had to pause it evey now an than to explain the characters. ✅

actually, im not surprised that your friend liked the movie, its really good, when i explained it to my friends they didnt get it, they still like the movie though cause of the action, especially the fight with Tifa.

700,000 Advent Children sold
Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII CG movie proves popular in Japan; US release still up in the air.

TOKYO--Square Enix's first computer-generated movie may have flopped, but its second attempt has been a major success. In 2001, Sony-owned Columbia Pictures released Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, an ambitious computer-generated movie made by game publisher Square Co. Ltd. The film, in a word, tanked. Earning only $32 million against a budget of more than $135 million, Spirits Within forced Square to scrap its animated film efforts to eventually merge with rival role-playing-game publisher Enix.

Luckily, Square's second CG effort isn't suffering from sophomore-slump syndrome. The company announced today that Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children has shipped a total of 700,000 units in Japan since its release on September 14. The figure includes the UMD version of the film, the DVD version, and the 29,800 yen ($260) limited edition DVD package, which was only available for preorder.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children has been the subject of much attention because of its high-quality graphics, and it was featured at the Venice Film festival for two years in a row. This year, the film is making its way to the Montreal Film Festival and the Catalunya International Film Festival in Spain.

"We believe this was the result of the movie getting accepted by not just Final Fantasy VII fans, but by a wide audience," commented producer Shinji Hashimoto. "We feel that there is great anticipation [for the movie] in North America and Europe, where it is scheduled for release. We hope to make it an even bigger success [in those regions] than it was in the Japanese market."

But while the Japanese success of Advent Children is now an established fact, its American release remains plagued by uncertainty. Although online retailers list the movie as coming out on DVD and UMD next month, American Square Enix reps told GameSpot that "no final US release plans have been announced yet."

What the hell do they mean no release date has been announced yet?!!! What are they playing at?!!! This is insane!

It means exactly that, there's still no official release date.

the movie is without a doubt going to be unbelieveable!

Its nice that they recieved some kind of success... I didnt find spirits within to be bad, but thats just me..

I also think final fantasy 7 fans far outweigh any ff sequel fans for some reason o_o.. so success is imminent

yeah the movie has built alot of interest. i know alot of people who aren't interested in game who are interested in the movie. but i guess part of it is that people know there be more action in this movie not like FFSW

Spoiler:
I've been doing some searching on the new ff movie and yes its set 2 yrs after the game, the dude some of you have seen in the weel chair is not sephiroph but is rufus, sephiroph is broght bak to life tho thanks to theses three other clones that have som how got the head of jeneva, and used it and there own DNA to revive him. No signs of aires being revived though.
