I like this, will you be following this code for other people's threads from now on? Respect is a two street.

With regards to FF7 I'm going to be interested in getting my hands on this, should be good.

Are there any actual ingame shots?

And shouldn't this be in GameWorld? ;)

No, because its a film based on a game.

Here's a link from IMDB:

Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385700/)

I have to admit I'm intrigued, the FF7 game was my favourite of the series and still playable to this day. Great storyline to it (for a computer game). Should be interesting.

[Manny Roscoe]

For those who havent seen any footage of the film:

Trailer Page (http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/media/movies.htm)

As I've said, new trailer in 2 days.

Ah, lol, I thought it was going to be a game. Stupid me...

[Manny Roscoe]

Thats ok......


Anyways, only 35 (or more...I think) hours to go......

[Busyman]

I don&#39;t like the games. They have great cinemas but I hate turn based combat. It&#39;s sooooo geekish.(But I do like Star Wars KOTOR :blink: )

I think a movie based on the actual games would be great though. It has to be better than that stinker of a movie that was previously released. ;) All glitter and no gold. <_<

If they want to make CGI actors that look real....why not use real actors.
But then again, they weren&#39;t quite real so....what&#39;s the point? It would have saved alot of money.

I liked episodes of Roughnecks: Starships Troopers wayyyyyyyyy better.

[Manny Roscoe]

They wanted to use CGI to replace that turd of a movie "Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within".

Advent Children is the REAL FF movie, but I wont go into detail about that now.....

Plus, Square&#39;s movie production company (who made the FF:The Spirits Within and the Animatrix short "Final Flight of the Osiris") needed to make another film, or else the company is done for. So, the creator of the FF series had a idea, and this new FF movie was what he came up with.
Also, its in CG because it remains faithful to the CG cutscenes that made FF7 so popular.

Yes, it was expensive to make this film. A lot is riding on it, but it will be very successful, since anything Final Fantasy sells like hot cakes in Japan....

When it comes out US...who knows. Thats up to the promotional department to make it a success in the US...

All I know is that the subbed version will be out next month for download.....

If it flops like Spirits...that movie company is done for.

Most likely in the US...it will flop depending on what season it comes out and what other movies are out at the time.

It wont flop.
Im sure of it.

It comes out here around November/December on DVD.

[Busyman]

It&#39;s going to need a great marketing campaign.

The first one flopped why won&#39;t this one?

Keep in mind, although you are a fan of the series, the American public is not.

I will see it....on DVD on DL but I probably won&#39;t see it at the theater and I bought that FF game that it takes off from.

[RedRival]

haven&#39;t update myself on this but...from what i remember...

it&#39;s probs 10yrs after the incident at the northen crater in ff7...u noe when sephiroth gets owned :P. So definitely before the last thousands of years later where Red13 is the only one alive.

newayz ,heard sephiroth has a friend/nephew/brother/some dude he knows who wants to avange him...so he&#39;s going for cloud...but from the pics i see now spehiroth is alive..so that old old theory maybe wrong...

yehr, but imo, ff7 was t3h best ff of em all, worst ff i played so far? ffx-2
it got bored after 10hrs of gameplay (spent 60hrs on ffx)...too used to ff having to change different worlds on each sequel...lol

[Manny Roscoe]

A few new pics in a recent scan:

CLICK. (http://www.yoxio.com/img/39612.jpg)

Not entirely new, but a new pic around every corner of the page.....

Also, word has it that Advent Children will be viewable on Sony&#39;s PSP....

More news to come in the following hours, plus the E3 trailer and more.

If anyone finds the trailer before I do, please feel free to post it.

[Manny Roscoe]

OMFG.....

RIGHT CLICK, SAVE AS. (http://media1.ffadventchildren.com/trailers/ff7ac_trailer_snypresscnf.asf)


The new trailer is up, yet the quality sucks. I&#39;ll try to post a better quality video as soon as possible, but for now, enjoy the new trailer.

ITS. SO. FUCKING. AWESOME.

And no....I am not lying.
See for yourself.

[uNz[i]]

Thanks Manny. Looks like its gonna rock. :)

Filesize is 56K friendly - 2.56MB
Prob the reason the quality is iffy... does the job though.

[Manny Roscoe]

AVI should be up soon....

And you&#39;re welcome for the video. :)

[Cheese]

I have a torrent for a DVD-quality trailer (same trailer) it&#39;s just under 40 megs big but for those of us who have broadband the speeds of the torrent are good...

Unfortunately we are not allowed to post direct links to torrents so EDIT: see my post below :D You can&#39;t even send torrent files via PM&#39;s on this board cause of the filters... :rolleyes:


The trailer is the same as Manny posted, this looks pvery good. :01:

[Cheese]

The torrent is on this post of some forum where they allow you to post torrent links:

[Cheese]

The link doesn&#39;t work...it&#39;s missing a bit in the middle I believe. :(

[Manny Roscoe]

Im going to take the link down.

I&#39;ve watched it....its not DVD quality, so dont worry. Its just hi-res....but not perfect.

I&#39;ll have to wait until my sources come up with a DVD quality trailer....so hold on for a while.....

[Manny Roscoe]

Well, I promised a better quality trailer....so...here it is.

RIGHT CLICK, SAVE AS. (http://www.gknetworks.net/advent/e3trailer1.avi)

Its not my server, so I dont know how long it&#39;ll be up....so download it while you can.

Since there wasnt much info about the plot at E3, I guess there isnt much to talk about.

The only thing we know is that Tifa and Vincent are back.....

Other than that, I&#39;ll leave this thread alone for awhile.....until the movie is ready for download and we see it, we as a community will discuss it then.

Remember, the movie will be out next month.
