As hard as it may be to believe, with all the Earthworm Jim obsession-ness, I'm a huge FF7 fan.

all the returning characters I recognised the second I saw them with the exception of Tifa, who I honestly thought was a new character...until I saw her giving it some in a trailer.
I recognised all the characters as soon as I saw them (Even Tifa).

I like the half-coat thing Cloud is wearing, but his top looks like it's woolen (Which is a bit too pansy... But then again he did dress up as a chick =D). Barret was the character they changed the most. His hair, including facial hair, and his gun! Anyway, I think Barret looks good as he is, cuz it seperates the movie from the game a bit. It reminds you of the time difference between the two.

The best bit was Vincent's voice! Although it's in Japanese and I have no idea what he's saying, he sounds so cool! It's almost exactly the way I imagined Vincent would sound! Vincent is easily the best character, and he apparently plays a big role in the movie. Groovy!
