Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children is a 90-minute CG film sequal to a popular RPG video game originally released in 1997. The original game became a near-instant classic and sold millions of copies worldwide and remains a top favorite among present-day gamers, with one of the largest video game fanbases in existance. By the time I, however, had

was the soundtrack good? i love the music from those games. except from ff7 my favorite is the aeris music, so i don't suppose it would be in that movie. i also like the song from 7 called 'one winged angel.' do you know what song i'm talking about? that song is awesome.

[psychopyro]

Of course I know what song(s) your talking about :) And they're both in this movie. There are new songs too, and they're all good. the battle music from the Jenova fights are in it too.

oh, ok. (i figured you knew the songs, just making sure) :D i should check out that soundtrack. the music from 7 and 9 are my favorite. but the sad thing is, i only played 7 once, and i never technically beat it- isn't that awful? i want to, but i don't have a playstation at the moment..

[psychopyro]

My word, that is awful :O You should get on that, missy! ;)

Ya know, it's a good thing all you people kept talking about this game... as I never played it. Even then I was able to keep up with this movie. If just barely.

Texturing and modelling are amazing... although the texturing on Bahumut was... "flat" to me. Not interesting enough, except for the feathers. Maybe it was just setting. This huge wrecked city that's all gritty, and this nice clean brand-spanking new armor on this monster.

Animation... it was amazing when they were moving slowly. When they got going fast though it went beyond unrealistic, it went to just plain lag jumps it seems. Like a laggy computer game where fights consists of a series of stills and you don't see movment between.

As for acting... the supports really *didn't* act it seems. Hell not even Cloud too much. He had one mood the entire movie. The badguys on the other hand... damn they were good. Reno and Rude also portrayed a lot, even more then the obvious humor.

Anyways.... now I should maybe [eyepatch] that game...

Oh and I forgot to mention. Seems kinda jipped how a *dead* character got more screen time then all the others combined.

[psychopyro]

She's an important character in the game :p

:X you'd understand if you'd played it *flees*

[psychocreampuff]

Whoa, she does?
Must find this movie now.

As for swearing:
Swearing is largely dictated by translator. You can easily translate a lot of japanese phrazes from anywhere between "You are a bad man :(" to "You are a F00king bastitch mutha fscka!". I've heard "Nani sore?!" subtitled as both "What is that?!" and "What the hell is that?!" I hate to say it, but Cid's swearing was most likely a creation of Square-US, not the original japanese FF7. Though he probably did speak really rudely, and the translators tried to convey that in english with swearing. So I guess it's roughly the same.

The subbers probably didn't take as much time as they should have to match square-US's personalities. The official dub/sub might do a better job of this.

Maybe then his "Shut up!" would become "Shut the HELL up!" ? XD
