With all of the talk about the new FFVII movie, is there anyone else out there other than me that really doesn't care about it?
I for one am not looking forward to it, I am not on the edge of my seat and I don't look forward to new info every day.
FFVII movie - who cares?

Yes, I did. I think that this movie is setup for total failure. It's been over 6 years since this game came out. In this time so many people have come up with so many fan-fiction sequels and such that there is no way that this movie can live up to the expectations to be a success. The movie will either run in one direction and be so in-depth that a small percentage will love it, or it will be a very generic "try-to-appeal-to-everybody" movie that turns off those that love the game the most. Either way I think that this movie will bomb, and that's why I don't care about this movie.
Thoughts?

You know, you could share your thoughts on this thing in the real thread about the movie. No need to go create something new just to get more attention. In any case, I agree with you. I don't think it will be able to live up to the expectations. But that doesn't mean I will buy it the day it is released.

The reason I created a seperate thread about this rather than add to the existing thread is because that is because I wanted to discuss the reasons that this movie will bomb, is overhyped, etc...
I agree. It's almost a violation of the great game FFVII was! Look at it. When FFVII ended (SPOILER)The Human Race had been wiped out by Holy! Not only that but Sephiroth is DEAD! This is simply a contrived way of making money and NOTHING about the art that FFVII is. Pure cash cow.

But they never went away.
I don't care that much abuot it being FF7, I just think they made cloud look very cool, and the fight scenes don't look bad either.
If I can get to see it for free/can download i, I'll watch it, but I'm not particularly bothered about it really and don't mind if I miss it
Yeah, sorry about earlier. I was in a weird mood because of... personal reasons. I don't know why I reacted the way I did, I'm sorry. Thank you for not starting to scream at me, atleast.Originally posted by The Dude

Well, I don't know about over-hyped... I mean, people have been waiting for a sequel to FF7 for six years now... and the expectations are really high. I really doubt they'll be able to live up to them, but since it's the same team that worked with the game, I'm sure they won't ruin something that was done in the game. (SPOILER)Resurrecting Aeris would be really lame, for example. So... I kinda believe it won't be a total disappointment, but it'll never be able to live up to the expectations.
And (SPOILER)Ressurecting Sephiroth ISN'T lame?
The Nazi's changed,
But they never went away.
Yeah, that would also be lame. I mean, FF7's story feels complete but yet open for sequels, somehow. But there are some things in the game that should remain untouched. (SPOILER)Aeris and Sephiroth's deaths for example.
I'm both nervous and excited at the thought.
The beauty of FF7's ending being so open was that it allowed you to create the 'ending after the ending' that you wanted in your mind. Many people have done this with fanfics, theories etc.
Now Square are about to reveal the real ending - are *any* of the theories or fanfics going to be close to the truth?
As one of the Square guys said when discussing the idea of FF7-2 a while back, paraphrased, "FF7 was such a success, any possible follow-up can't be taken lightly. It would have to be of the highest quality"
The bad thing about this sequel is that, like other people might or might not have mentioned (I haven't read all the posts in all the threads), it completely negates the controversial ambiguity of the ending of the game. When you (SPOILER)see Red XIII running with his descendants past the ruins of Midgar, you used to wonder "So was the human race eliminated?"
Obviously, you know the answer to the question now, and it kinda puts a damper on what mystery the game had around it. For that reason, I've always been skeptical of the possibility of a sure-fire sequel and, also for that reason, I wouldn't be interested in what happens after the real crisis.
Personally I never thought that the human race was wiped out, I don't know why, but I just didn't. And who Knows, maybe Sephiroth wasnt (SPOILER) resurrected . It could be...jenova.....
I'm Currently making a videogame. Go to www.freewebs.com/blackmarblestudios to see how its going.
Actually I don't know.... maybe Star Scar Syndrome is (SPOILER)Holy eliminating the human race, just over time rather than everyone's vision of an instant 'poof'. On the other hand, as I said in the Big Thread, maybe the syndrome is Jenova imposing the same disease that he/she did on the Cetra *shrugs*Obviously, you know the answer to the question now
