Final Fantasy : Advent children.... i didn't understand one @55 *SPOILER ALERT*

[TrinireturnofGamez]

   Firstly you NEED to have played final fantasy 7 to understand anything that going on  ,  i just watched the subtitled leaked japenese version off  Trinitaku.... having not played the   game , i don't understand most of what going on.. but   the action and 3dfx are far superior to the last final fantasy movie , sword fights , gun fights , summoned  monsters ... etc.   even if u don't understand anything like me ,  you can still enjoy it  .
      It would help alot if sony did a star wars style intro...a few paragraphs explaining the story properly for those who didn't play the game ,    it would make a palatable theatre movie    , alot better than most movies coming out these days , would make sony a pretty penny .
    Some dread sountracks by nobou Uematsu   , everybody's favourite composer , dread fights more anime / final fantasy boss style than crap sci fi like Spirits within was.. Same ''life force , Gia'' philosophy   mixed in with christian ideals eg. forgiveness , redemption , salvation ,  Cloud asks at one point 'can sins be forgiven?' a few scenes resembling a baptism ( one in a church and all!) ,   story focuses on Cloud Strife's internal demons , his search for redemption  and forgiveness for what has happened in the world , and to aeris i think...  Cloud and many people are striken with a disease caused by perversion of the life force by  the alien thingy or something so.. have to watch the movie again without distraction and do some reasearch to understand it all...
   And yes  , Sephiroth makes an appearance , so does Vincent , Cid , Tifa and all of everybody's FF favourites ... even moogles.. and airships , but no Chocobo !

  more notes...   the flower bed in Clouds church may be a memorial for Aeris , who sold flowers in FF7...
  Whole setting of the movie is post apocolyptic earth ,  Shimra Coperation is asking for Clouds help to rebuild earth after the events in FF7... and to protect it from the bad guys who eventually resurect Sepiroth using the head of the alien woman thing.....
  The name ''Advent children'' is due to all the orphaned children who are stolen by the bad guys halfway through the movie.

ok ..i really not wantin to go berserk or anything ..THE MC ENGLISH RELEASE IS JUST NOW if it not already ..
as for spirits within it was not about fights or fantastic anything if youre a hardcore peyongist of ff then you would appreciate ff spirits within O_o .....BFG TIME

[vinion2000]

ive been seein the reviews and most ppl who havent played the game hate it. go figure but the same ppl who hate FF-SW movie so ill take that with a pinch of salt. i like spirits within which like Kaizen said wasnt the fancyfull tale but a simple story based on FF philosophy. ppl tend to forget that what makes Final fantasy, final fantasy isnt the Visuals, Summons, gameplay its the philosphy behind the gameplay and its part in the storyline. ill wait for the subbed version and see.

I watched it last night... I played the game like a cheap vietnamese ho and I can honestly say the movie was... weird. It was so so so nice to see scenes from the game so beautifully rendered and to be honest Tifa never looked SO good. The action was WAY over the top (which honestly was a bit much) and was graphically confusing. However the story even for an avid fan of the game proved hard to follow and it was ultimately just prolly imho a 6 outta 10. Its visuals were 9 outta 10 and tifa was 11 outta 7, but dread... I can see why ppl could not appreciate this movie. I did however like that we fans got to see the aftermath and that everyone is alive.

  i thought it was just me , yea the story and action are extremely hard to follow but its still great  ....  Square should remake final fantasy 6  , simple plot with great twists... people fighting against an empire   , the war results in the destruction of the world as they know it and the birth of an even worse regime ....  Plus the fact that so many people don't know of it so it will seem fresh and new . 
  Maybe the english version of Advent children will make more sense .... hopefully .
  yea tifa and aeris HOT!!!!

AH WANTED TO CRY!!!

I when I saw the movie....I couldnt even yell, I was in friggin shock!

And this move is obviously for the fans, plus, something would be wrong if you so hyped up to see the movie if you havent even played the game

And yea, Tifa was rheal hot! And she RHEAL GET ON! But what was real funny was when she had beat down the guy and den you start to hear the victory music from the game, LMAO!

But when I was watching this, besides "OMFG, WTF HOSS!?" I was thinking, "Ways....cut scenes from FF on the PS3 might look like this...."

[woodyear99]

Yeah this movie was pretty good definitely for the fans...all that materia sweet!

  after watching it again i understand it a bit better :
 the disease Geostigma is caused by Jenovah's cells, in the end all the cells are re collected .... Sephiroth and Kadaj and the rest are pure jenovah , thus they call her 'mother'
  Shinra probably sent Kadaj after cloud in the beginning hoping that cloud would wipe them out  , the fascination with the children is cause of their  geostigma and thus jenova's cells   , children are alot more sensative to elements in their environment  and are affected easier .
     Jenovah probably spawned  kadaj and sephiroth  to gather her cells together to do something big ....probably to stop Shinra from abusing her in FF7 and to leave or destroy earth in advent children ....
   Square leaves ALOT up to the imagination ......

 yea the victory music playing on the phone was cool ...  i notice some  of the tunes are an adaptation of what Nobou did for FF6 with a few new instruments or different notes .

  Remember after the  first battle with Kadaj? cloud riding in on a bike passing a sign?  if you look closely you see : Healin Lodge  : Geostigma Z? ? ?
Midgar City ->
Kalm <-
Chocobo Farm ->

hhhaha @ TIFA rated 11 / 7

I was a big fan of the game despite it's drawbacks, like weird monsters (frogs, houses and carpets) and lack lustre gameplay graphics.

To me, Advent Children was like a dream come true.

Definitely some of the best action sequences I've seen this year. Cloud was true to form and TIFA, my word @ Tifa!

We have been waiting a couple years for this and they did not dissapoint.

OMGWTFPWNAGE galore.

The storyline was a bit contrived and the children didn't have as much of a starring role as the title might lead you to beleive. Forgivable.

The beautiful scenery and out of this world action more than made up for that.

Kadaj and his brothers were badass enough to play the roles of uber villains, especially the one with the gauntlet. Sephiroth's appearance, complete with theme song dropped a layer of icing on the cake.

If you haven't seen this masterpiece yet, you deserve to be shot and fed to the lions at Emperor Valley Zoo.

[ProtoJoe]

Sure they had a SIGN showing the chocobo farm....BUT WHERE THERE ANY CHOCBOS!? NO!

sigh...

But yea, kinda real regreating not using tifa so much in the game....the female I used most was Aeris....but then again....i didnt know she was going to DIE!

I downloaded the dvd version last week, I played the game and loved how they integrated some of the limit breaks from the game.  Hope they continue making final fantasy movies like this.  I didnt have a problem with spirits within but looked like a lot of people did.

[Kaizen]

yea they did kick a$$ at ur Jinroh stuff

[Trinitus]

i going to buy the movie tomorrow and then ill say somthing about this movie...oh yeah war one who's that in your avatar??

[WarOne]

Firstly I dont mean to sound like a cheap bastard but you are going to buy the movie???  And secondly the guy in the avatar is just a soldier from Jin Roh the Wolf Brigade.

[Trinitus]

ok i dont have dsl or anything 56k immc, so i aint going to download nothing, and forgive my ignorance but what is Jin Roh???

[DreadNaught]

They should make a Trilogy or something based on Chrono Trigger.....THE BEST GAME IN LIFE EVER!!!!!!!!!
