    Default Could this be a movie used as a visual reference in FF7 ?

    Hi there !
    I was browsing ffshrine and I stumbled upon this : www.ff7keikoku.com
    They're presenting an extract from a movie that apparently could be related to FF7 in some way...
    I don't know what to think about it. Do you ?

    Yeah, the camera work is spot on to Aerith's scene in the opening. Very likely it was used as a reference piece by the animators. I wonder what film it is?

    And maybe a reference for the character design of Aerith, well at least the skirt... And Biggs, Wedge and Jessie's red ribbons !
    I don't see the reference to the music though...

    They have updated the website, now they say :
    "This scene follows the death of the girl and presents her entry in the HADES Realm."
    Could there be a relation with the statement from the debug rooms, "...This Is Hades" ?!!

    So excited !!

    I always thought that Aerith was just there on a little walk and benefit a leak in a mako pipe to pay respect to her relatives (ancients)
    But if the girl enters the Hades realm in this scene (and that there's a real connection with the movie which is far from proved),
    maybe Aerith has just entered Midgar here through this leak ! I guess she could have spawned in the alley on purpose, just in time to meet Cloud...

    Or is this not a scoop...

    But if Midgar is Hell (Hades), this would mean that everyone inside is dead !
    My brain is melting...

    It looks more like a programmer's joke. Having taken programming before, it wasn't uncommon for us to place fun comments in the code to screw with the teacher or other classmates who had to use it. Considering how boring coding and debugging can be, I can see a programmer adding a reference to being in hell in the code.

    I see your point, this makes sense even if it lacks a little poetry .
    I'm glad you're refraining me, I was coming with things like :
    Midgar and Gaia might be the hellish side of Spira (kind of like the underworld of Stanger Things). Both would be linked through the life stream.
    or:
    Cloud is the dead version of Zack !
    Eheh...

    There's something on the website about the music now.
    Can someone decrypt it and tell us what is interesting ??!

    The title has been found ! This is "Parking", a movie by Jacques Demy.
