The female characters in FF series are so hot …

I seriously should go play FF7 when I go back …

Ya, I need to play FF7 also. I’ve only played FFIX, FFX, and half of FFX-2. I’ve seen the FF7 Advent Children movie though, and that was pretty sweet. I even have the OST. :)

I just saw advent children yesterday (bought it last week) myself. The animation was pretty sick in it. Didn’t quite feel like a final fantasy story to me though. Too many action sequences, which i didn’t know was even possible to till i saw the movie. Still good stuff. Far better than Spirits Within in about every respect. haven’t decided if the special edition has been worth the extra $ yet. Really dissappointed two out of three sequel games are for mobile phones only :( grrr

Oh ya, Advent Children was much better than Spirits Within. I watched it with some friends on a friend’s 40″ plasma with a pretty sick surround system. I was in awe from the start, and when Tifa’s first fight (in the church) started, my jaw just dropped.

That fight totally ruled! I’m not sure if you can call it that in a animated movie but the “cinematography” for the movie I thought was outstanding. Lots of great “shots” and angles. I loved it when she landed on the wall spiderman style. I totally agree with you

just was strange to me the relative lack of dialogue and character interaction for a final fantasy production

oh and I loved it when tifa thought she had won, the bad dude’s phone started playing the victory song from when you won a random battle during ffvii

Yes, having that ring tone play at that moment was brilliant! It’s actually the same theme that plays after victories in all FF games. I have it as my ring tone at the moment. :)

Now that i’ve seen it four times now, (once in japanese), It’s occurred to me how similiar some of the characters to FFX characters. Cloud-Tidus
Tifa&Aerith-Yuna, RedXiii-Kimahri, Vincent-Auron, Yuffie-Rikku and maybe even Barret-Wakka (thank god FFX had no Cait Sith equivalent) . I had heard that they devlopers had intended FFX to be sort of like a prequel to FFvii,as evidenced by some similarities in geography and traits of the world, with the charcters in mind
I guess i can see it now :)

Woah, FFX as a prequel to FFVII? Interesting… I guess it’s fitting, then, that I haven’t played FFVII yet. ;) How are the dubs? I’ve only seen it subbed. (I tend to avoid dubbed anime like the plague.)

I thought it was really excellent probably the best dub I’ve seen (neon genesis evangelion I feel is hard to top). for full disclosure I have to say I like dubs though. Granted they did use to be really awful (see the old Transformers Headmasters series for really gag-worrthy ones), but I don’t think that’s as true anymore especially in the last couple of years.

This one may have been unusually good due to the fact it had some big names (Mena Suvari, Rachel Leigh Cook, Christy Carlson Romano plus I believe the guys who did spike and jet from cowboy bebop). I could tell that square took great care localizing it as none of dialogue seemed oddly paced and the characters mouths seemed to match their dialogue pretty well. There was only one or two places where i felt the script didn’t translate well and that certainly wasn’t the actors/actresses fault.

If you strongly dislike dubs I don’t think you’ll find a better one to try to change that :)

Btw Last night I showed it to my mom. Poor mom had no idea what was going on. She though kadaj was the good guy (probably cuz he kept goin on about his “mother”) all the way through the end :)
