    You're giving FF7's rather flat characters far too much credit.

    True. But if they were going to actually make a movie I'd hope they'd add some dimension to them. It'd make for some very powerful scenes.

    Actually, I'm sure most of us agree that trying to compress a story like FF7's into even a three hour long movie would be a monumental failure.

    Well the length is certainly a topic for that other thread, but to briefly divulge in it here, it'd have to be multiple movies.

    Anyway, if they did add depth to the characters, the hardcore VII fans would go nuts. Shallow is what it's all about, there.

    Oh Mr. T couldnt be Barret. As B.A. Bacrapper or whatever in the A-team, he never could hit anything, no matter what weapon he had. Silly Mr. T.

    It'd be cool to see Barret in an Anime. Preferably, a FF7 anime.

    Mr. T as Barret: Same old, same old.

    There is no official FF7 manga. There are, however, tons of doujinshi, which are fan manga often produced by professional companies. They come in all sorts, from joke stories to hentai to shounen-ai to continuations of the story. They are not, however, official in any way.

    It would not be hard to make an FFVII movie at all. Cut out the reading and a few towns with no significance, and yer set.

    They could just do the miniseries thing.
    And besides Mr.T's bad acting he just seem to old to play Barret. Even if Square did base Barett on him which is possible.

    Yeah Barret and Cid were both in their thirties, I believe, in the game? I thought it was kind of refreshing to have some characters in an FF game that aren't all 17 years old. Plus Barret and Cid had their own unique personalities which enhanced the game's storyline.
    Old enough to know better, but dumb enough to do it anways.

    Course it was nice having older characters.Cid is one of my favorites!It gets tiring having all these weak,punny,cry baby characters in their teens.Sofar,i think the only real teen in that Game though was Yuffie,at 16.Red too,but he was 45 in his timeline(14,i relize,in human years).

    I, too think it was nice having a few mature characters. Barret, Cid, Red XIII (OK, so he's only an adolecent by the standards of his kind, but he's smarter and more grown-up than many of his Human counterparts). Nanaki is, actually, 45 years old - it's just that a 45-year-old of his species is about as developed as a late-teenaged Human. Nanaki's age is a source of frequent confusion.
