I see your point with Cid and Berret. You're not the first person to compare it to Wuxia films. And myself not being a fan of Wuxia I can't honestly see why people keep digging into that. I gues it has similarities. But maybe they're just coincidense? I've read a hand full of interviews and never heard anyone mention borrowing inspiration from movies like that. My personal take is that by the end of FF7 your characters are level 60+ and for the most part, pretty bad-ass. They can do a lot of amazing things a "normal" person of that world couldn't dream of (taking out a dragon in a few swipes? Calling up mystical beasts to tear some hell? Stuff like that). A giant leap being part of their super-human repotoire didn't seem too far-fetched to me for some reason.
I though it was quite a shame that the film went this way. It was a pretty poor performance.
Action, well yes, you had a lot of action. But really, it wouldn't only fit inside the game itself. As a separate film, well, it doesn't seem to be right.
Story, well no, there is no story. The poor combination of ideas and their realisation is catastrophic. For a final fantasy, where you really want a good cracking plot, this is like soap.
And characters? They inserted them, but really, if you add their lines together they will barely beat the average NPC in FF1.
To summarise, it was quite a poor performance. Nice ideas about the stigma, good-looking animations, but as a film it is a completely nutshell.
In the prologue book, it says all charcters are level 100 except for Cloud, who's level is far great than anyone elses, obviously breaking the 100 level max.
Prologue book? The Once Upon A Smile thing? I need to read that at some point..
Cloud haxs!Quote:

Does anyone else think he wasn't in more just because he was too hard to make?
That in it yeah, the the prologue book is in the form of like a guide book but with lesser pages. Its goes on about the characters etc..the two novella's and prologue stats and such to the characters prior to Advent Children, ive not read the actual book, though i have read the two novella's. "On A Way To A Smile" & "Case Of Tifa"
EDIT: I think the voice they wanted to do Nanaki's voice is some big star in Japan and cameos as Nanaki, but normally big stars as cameos dont normally get loads of dialog. Maybe he could of had a few more lines, but i'd rather the perfect voice and a 1 liner than a crap voice and loads of dialog.
where can i get that prologue book
You buy it.
duh' but where do u buy it?
Youd buy it from Japan, Duh! Its not hard to find.
Japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HERE.
