    Many of you say how dumb it would be if (Spoiler) Aeris or Sephiroth were resurrected or brought back or whatever, I highly doubt Aeris will be "resurrected", but I am sure she will be in the movie somehow.

    As for sephiroth, how could he not be alive in the movie, I dont think it would be much good if it were just some FF7 movie that didnt include Seph in any large way. And Seph is the money maker, I dont think they would make anything FF7 without including him.

    I'm severely discontent with you. What a horrid thing to say. Role Playing Games were Square's cognition, they knew that they weren't like action games they knew that drawing a crowd in through "action" was not their forte they knew that story-line, game-play, and effort was what decided the quality of their games. To the many connoisseurs of RPGs Square-Enix has subsided from RPGs in to only the things they find profitable, which thanks to an insane zealous fan-base is an incredibly large field. It's sad that any thing Square promiscuously creates you'll support. Don't you see that them creating a sequel that is nothing but continuing the plot on a screen is different from them actually creating a sequel? When I played FF7 I had interaction and options, how much of that will you be getting from a movie? Doesn't it bug you that Squares sequels are nothing like the originals?

    My hopes are now dashed.

    The fact is that this is a simple cash cow. Humannity WAS killed. Bugenhagen near enough stated that humans would be wiped out by Holy. It just makes sense. Look at Shinra and the Mako reactors. They were created by PEOPLE. Humans. It would be in the planets best intrests to wipe us out and give the planet to Nanaki's tribe.

    Yet here we have a thing where everyone's back and all happy. Ressurected from the dead. No doubt we'll see Dyne come back and do the can-can with Barret while a Mog does cartwheels...

    Square is losing it. FFX-2? Crap. FFVII-2? Crapper.

    No. He hinted at the possibility that humans might be 'judged'. Humans - Cloud, Barret, Yuffie, Tifa etc - helped to save the world, humans are descendents of the Cetra. Nothing in the game suggests anything more than the possibility that humanity might pay the ultimate price for the actions of a few. Anyway... when Holy emerged from the North Cave, the first people it encountered were those on the Highwind. They were practically inside Holy, yet weren't harmed. There's no logical argument why Holy would spare them but eradicate Marlene, Elmyra, the Travelling Man from Kalm and everyone else in the world.

    Hating a movie because it differs from your assumptions is a little silly.

    Shouldn't you perhaps wait till you see it before deciding for sure?

    The AC movie takes place only 2 years after the meteor incident, and according to various sources, the humans have already begun to be eradicated. The Star-Scar Syndrome.
    The scene at the end of the game is 500 years later... which clearly shows that all humans have been eliminated, and Nanaki's tribe is still alive.
    So in the movie, they haven't all been "resurrected", they've just started dying.

    Square is still messing with the classics. They go quite some time and develop a "once it's released we'll only remake it" kind of status and then suddenly breaks it with what is NOT a resemblance of the original. I don't understand Square at all they make HUGE profit with FF-7, so they steer away from that style?

    FF7 movie is immediate profit.

    Square are no longer the "warm and fuzzy" small guys they used to be... especially with Enix.

    An unfortunate real-life fact of capitalism is that frankly they don't really care what you think any more - they have shareholders to please. If (arguably) cheapening FF7 and FFX to milk the profitability of their legacy makes good money, then that is what they will do.

    well I for one like all the new things square is trying..... I always wanted to see FF in other types of games and in movies.

    But hey.... I like the "Spirits Within" Movie.

    [q=Kindo]The scene at the end of the game is 500 years later... which clearly shows that all humans have been eliminated, and Nanaki's tribe is still alive.
    [/q]It "clearly shows" nothing of the sort. All we see are the overgrown ruins of Midgar, which proves that the city was abandoned - but then, it was a ruin after Meteor's assault. We see Nanaki and his offspring, and a few birds. Doesn't prove that there are no humans at all. After all, we don't see any moogles, chocobos or cats in that scene, and no-one's contending that they were obliterated. Besides, a child's laughter is clearly audible in the background as that scene fades out.

    It *could* be argued that the children you hear laughing are simply cubs of Nanaki's tribe.

    That said, no that ending doesn't show anything clearly

    What's more, it's just one 'prediction' of the future. Many future-related events in games and movies are the type of events that you or the protagonist goes back in time to prevent.

    Of course, if you stick to Einstein realism, then that's out

    Quite. One of the biggest "talking points" about FFVII is its uncertain ending. It's not possible to know for certain what happened; however Advent Children is certainly going to resolve some of those issues, it seems.

    You know what's strange?

    For a long time, a lot of people complained that FFVII should have some kind of follow-up, either a sequel or prequel, movie or game. They said that Square was refusing because they're a selfish profit-driven company which cares about nothing but making money.

    Now, however, a sequel's been announced, and people are saying that it's proof that Square's a selfish profit-driven company which cares about nothing but making money.

    Looks like you just can't please everybody...
