Some new details about FF7 AC (contains spoilers)

[Sefie1999AD]

Yay! I'm the first one to post in this forum. ^_^

I was checking news around various online sites, and these things have been recently announced about Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

- It won't be released this year. It seems Square Enix is planning a worldwide release in Spring 2005, and translating the movie into many languages takes some extra time.
- There was a 25-minute-long preview of FF7AC in Venice Screening. Supposedly the movie is 4 times longer than that, so we could be expecting a movie that is longer than an hour and a half. So this won't be just a 60-70 minute mini-story.
(SPOILER)- Some characters in the movie call the white-caped man in the wheel chair "Mr. President", and he speaks about Sephiroth in third person. It hasn't been confirmed whether he's Rufus or not, though.
- Aeris, Sephiroth and Zack will all appear in flashbacks, though maybe more.
- There is going to be a huge battle where Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Red XIII, Cid, Yuffie and Vincent all join forces to fight the bad guys. In the preview in Venice Screening, One-Winged Angel was playing during this scene, and according to those who saw it, that's a truly fantastic moment in the movie.
- Bahamut is going to appear in FF7AC.
- Cloud has Geostigma. It's still not certain what Geostigma is, but it's supposedly the Planet's counter for Jenova cells mixing into the body, and Lifestream probably has something to do with it. Geostigma will kill its victim, and as far as we know, there's no cure.
- FF7 fans will have some very emotional nostalgic moments during the film.
- This movie is going to be awesome.

Okay, that's about it. I got most of the information from Advent Children's website, although I used other online sources as well. What do you guys think about all these new pieces of information? Is this movie beginning to sound impressive? Discuss.

Yep, I read about all that a couple days ago. it's got me more excited (if that's possible) for this movie, but....I'm worried that there's going to be minimal story, and many, many, many fight scenes. Don't get me wrong, I like the action, but when that's all that there is, it gets boring---and the story is what I'm really loking forward to. *crosses fingers*

chaos: Wow, that's quite a truckload of information. I never read 1up's review for FFVII AC, 'cause I wanted to experience it myself, spoiler free. It sounds like a great movie though.

Rubedo: I like the designs and everything.

chaos: Especially Tifa's look.

Albedo: *Laughs maniacally* As long as Sephiroth is in it, I am fine.

Trowa: I was looking forward to having every single character play a role there.

For once I actually mind a plot being spoiled; thus, I refuse to read the spoilers. I cannot wait 'til it comes out, though. I'm having a huge screening of the movie at my house, the day it comes out. God, I have to wait another 6 or so months for it... Oh well, I know it'll be WELL worth the wait.

spring 2005 huh, that gives me enough time to finish playing through the game then. if only i could get my friend to let me borrow it again.

buy your own copy of it, anyway does anyone know if it will be released in the cinema, or just on DVD

[TheAbominatrix]

It's only on DVD right now. Unless they change their minds, that's how it'll stay.

[kikimm]

I doubt they'd release in theaters. I'm kind of hoping they won't too. I LIKED The Spirits Within, but look how well that one turned out? I don't think they'd take the same risk twice. Plus, only us, and other people who've played the game would know what's going on.

They are releasing on that psp thing, though too, I think.

[fire_of_avalon]

I, personally, want it to stay in DVD format, cause I want the option to turn on the subs and listen to the Japanese.

*is eighteen different kinds of excited* Everytime I talk about Advent Children I get all kinds of hyper.

I think Tetsuya Nomura stated somewhere that he'd like to have the Advent Children out in the big screen, but he also said he doesn't want to delay its release too much and that a cinema release is very unlikely since the team doesn't want the movie to become another FF: TSW that will bring Square Enix major losses.

were did u hear that the movie is going to be relesed in 2005 spring what site i wanna check it out if anyone know of any spoilers i wanna know all that i can about the movie

[Chris]

Supposedly the movie is 4 times longer than that, so we could be expecting a movie that is longer than an hour and a half

So this means that the movie is going to 3-4 hours long?
That's just great and if nothing else, I would be extremely sad if the movie was destined to run for only 60 minutes.
The sequel to the greatest game ever, and only 60 minutes to run through. I sincerely hope that these informations are correct.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Twenty-five minutes times four does not equal three or four hours.

I guess (SPOILER)Geostigma is the new name for (SPOILER)Star Scar Syndrome. It's an improvement.
