Well, yeah, but what I meant was that (SPOILER)it seems clear that they survived Meteor, at the very least. They lived after their mission was complete, and now something else is coming along.

A lot can happen in 500 years.
What I find almost as interesting as the movie is in the reactions people have to it, even at this stage.
As a fanfic writer, I'm engaged in essentially revisionist history, because what I write about, by definition, didn't happen in the game. I'm curious if other people see this movie as revisionist history of the events of FFVII.
I think this takes place 2 years after, not 500 years.
Afew questions for you to concider:
How do you know its sephiroth?It could be [spoilers]a clone[/spoilers]
How do we know that[spoilers] the human race was whiped out?[/spoilers]
Afew things to keep in mind:
Sephiroth only appears to be back.Sofar I only see pictures of him going into the flames.There is another character which appears to be sephiroth,only with shorter hair.perhaps he and the 'sephiroth' we all belive is sephiroth,is really this short haired man befor a hair cut?( never know)
And either way,we can do little to nothing about the upcomming movie.I am excited,yet i dont wish to destroy my idea for the future,the future that was never talked about in fianl fantasy 7 the game.
I just hope this is a prequal. Not a sequal. That is the only way this can possibly make sense.
Otherwise Square may aswell bugger off as far as I'm concerned. Money grabbing tossers. :(
It is a sequel that takes place 2 years after the events in FF7!
That's what the TRAILER says:
"This is not for playing."
*You see the ending of FF7*
"2 years later"
Sephiroth being (SPOILER)alive is simply the lamest thing ever. Whether he's (SPOILER)a clone, JENOVA, resurrected, whatever is just lame. Unless it's maybe a flashback or a nightmare. Otherwise... I mean jeez, I know Seph was a major cash cow and he has legions of drooling fans who would cut off their own genitalia to touch him (I love exagerrating!), but c'mon, let it go.
I'm not excited, no. I will see it, definitly. The only things I search for is the pictures, because Cloud looks really cool, and I'm hoping to see Tifa and some of the other characters all maxed out and such. All I can hope for is that I will be pleasantly surprised.
I found it quite clear to see that the fire scene was a flashback.
The dude in a wheelchair is Sephy after FF7.....Who then recovers and Cuts his Hair. How can you not get that interpritation.
This whole movie makes perfect sense if you think about it.
We all know Jenovah Cells have Regenerative effects.
Obviosly Sephy wasnt killed but merly severly wounded in FF7 and has now healed. The human race was never destroyed (What are you on drugs? Who would think that square would kill off humans?) and Cloud must now find a way to truly kill sephy.
I dont get how everyone seemed to miss that while watching the movie...All this "Who's in the Wheelchair" and "Is that Sephiroth?"
Mind marking your spoilers? Not everyone at the forums has finished VII.
Anyway... that's even lamer, I think. How was he (SPOILER)not killed after being beaten by the party, then by Cloud, then had the Northern crater blow up on him? I think that's more than a tad silly.
maybe when the lifestream exploded... seph went back to the lifestream... ever think of that?
maybe he was only wounded and the his body explosion was just to signify his bound with jenova being broken
It's certainly possible, and that's actually a satisfying theory for me, but I think it's just silly to have him back. Period.Quote:

i agree with ya there... just trying to solve some problems... seems too.... convenient
I don't care who the hell they resurrect, whether it's Sephiroth, Aeris, or bloody Big Bird, I'm just glad they're finally making a sequel that so many fans of the game have been waiting for but Square has been too scared to make it in case it doesn't live up to the expectations. Who cares? FF7 is always going to be a great game, and just because die-hard fans are going to hyperventilate because Sephiroth's shoelaces aren't the same, and critics are going to scoff at the inconsistancies of the sub-sub-sub plot, won't make it any less so.
I'm not really bothered either way about this movie. For one thing it will be ages before it's even released in the UK. Secondly...I'd be more excited about a game than a movie but even then, it doesn't really matter to me if they make one or not.
FFVII was FFVII, it's fine as it is, in a way I don't think it should be touched or any new version, movie or game brought out, but in another way it would be good to see the characters in better graphics, and with voices whether that's in a game or a movie. Because it will just be interesting to see my fave FF7 characters looking better than the polygons they were. :p
But.. I don't want the movie to change the game, such as bringing back characters who are dead or ...anything like that, ya know? I was happy with the way FF7 turned out.
Anyway I'm just more excited for X-2 at the moment, that's probably a little closer to arriving here than this film ;)
I have to agree with the person who made this thread. Advent Children is Square's worst idea since... well, since X-2. Square seems to be throwing out bad ideas on a daily basis now.
