Doesn't it annoy you.....

[*~Angel Wing~*]

My friend who's never played 7 is now going to buy it after seeing the movie.

Yeah...I think we're thinking of the same person. I let her borrow Advent Children, and even though she was a little confused cuz she never played FFVII, she still really enjoyed it. Actually, her younger brother didn't like Final Fantasy at all, but after he saw some of the great battle scenes in Advent Children, he thinks Final Fantasy is pretty cool now.

But I do agree it's annoying when people think they know everything about a character/game, and they haven't taken the time to play the game and fully understand the storyline and concepts, when YOU did.

Ever since FF7:AC there seems to be so many more FF7 fans who think they know everything there is to know about FF7. A few people I know watched the film before me and are like yeah its amazing, then i ask have you played the game and they say no or i haven't finished it. It narks me cus I spent over 70hours completeing the game(and then another 2 times) and the film is a nice treat for my hard work grrrrrrrrr. What do you think?

I understand.

That's just being awfully selfish over a pointless thing. That's just childish.

Actual conversation I had about a month ago with my friend Brandon:
Brandon: Hey Griff, you have most of the FF games right?
Griff: Yeah
Brandon: They look pretty cool, can I borrow one?
Griff: Sure, I'll let you borrow ten, it's pretty easy.
Brandon: Does it have Vincent in it, he was so cool in AC?
Griff: No, that's seven.
Brandon: Can I borrow that one instead?
Griff: sure, whatever.

And every day since then he would tell me where he is in the game and ask "how far am I from Vincent now?" Fanboyism at it's finest

I can understand abou that but everyone has their own option I spent about 99 hrs on the game one of my most fav's :3

Fanboys make me hot in the pants.

Regarding the conversation, i suggest that you wait for Brandon to finish the game before telling him how to get Vincent.
And i agree with the starter of the thread. One should not be called a FFVII fan unless he/she has played the game. Am I a fan? Yes, because I've been playing the game for nearly 10 years now, beat it 3 times (I'm sure that's a small number compared to some of you) and seen the movie twice (first in English, then in Japanese). I will probably buy DOC despite the horrendous 3/10 score taht a magazine taht i recently read gave it. Just watching the movie doesnt make you a fan. PLay the game, then maybe we'll talk.

[Zeromus_X]

I don't even know why anyone would even see the movie without first playing the game...that doesn't even make sense.

At any rate, I don't even believe in these things anymore.

[Bearofu]

You can't tell some if he/she's a fan or not. Someone liked Vincent in the movie; how can't he/she be called a fan of him then?

Like, I've only heard one complete album of Iron Maiden, but I consider myself as a fan. Who has the right to argue with that?

Ever since FF7:AC there seems to be so many more FF7 fans who think they know everything there is to know about FF7. A few people I know watched the film before me and are like yeah its amazing, then i ask have you played the game and they say no or i haven't finished it. It narks me cus I spent over 70hours completeing the game(and then another 2 times) and the film is a nice treat for my hard work grrrrrrrrr.

So basically you're annoyed because some people liked the film, but have not finished the game. Sorry, but that's ridiculous.

I've never played FF7, I've watched the anime, and seen the movie, but never played the game. I've done reasearch on it and all that junk. But I've never played the game. I hate not having a Playstation. On contarary, I personally don't think I know the characters inside and out. I still don't know some of their names. It's an ok movie. I like it, but I still think it could've done better. I say that more towards the fact of what I have learned and what I know about movies all together. Why I don't like it as much has nothing to do with the game. I understand getting mad at people who never played the game and claim they know everything, but don't get mad at everyone who hasn't played it. AC is for anyone who wants to watch it. It's just a movie.

[Roto13]

If someone who hadn't played the games claimed to understand all of the little nuances and metaphors in the plot, I'd get a little annoyed with them.

That is, if Advent Children was more than a flash-a-thon.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Yeah, it does. But not too much, because afterall, I'm the one who benefits from not being stupid like them.

[Cannibal Corpse]

I know Exactly what you mean
in the school year, there were these stupid kids in my class and they always were talking about FFAC and how great it was even though they haddent even played the game! WTF! They told me they didnt even understand most of.They thought they knew all the characters and s***,pisses me off. They weren't the ones that were waiting years and years for it to come out. They DO NOT deserve to watch that amazing movie

This is one of the reasons why people in general piss me off
