Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children arrives FINALLY on April 25th

[Corinthian™]

For me.....its not horrible but it's not great either, its merely ok. I do wish they would have taken this more seriously and did a better job....Especially Sephiroth...his english voice did not fit his character

Mena Survei did a slightly better job in Advent Children than she did in KH2. At least Cloud and Kadaj were voiced a lot better than the others.

if that's "OK" you have low standards

 

[Elijya]

... or maybe just different standards? it's a peice of entertainment, no one's opinion is "Right", that's why they're opinions

well... that would be when you are talking about FF:AC in general, not the dubbing. I just feel that the American Dubbing sucks in general. They don't have the right voices, they don't have the right feeling. I rather hear the original voices or maybe a better dubbing.

 

[Elijya]

but that's your opinion too

it's never a fact that something "sucks", unless you're talking about a vacuum cleaner or a hooker

how about sub-par?

It may be an opinion, but people that compare the dub with the original will say that the original is obviously better done.

Either ways, Mexicans rule

 

[Elijya]

Ok, I'll give you that one, just cause I want you to feel special

How ya been Corinthian? we haven't talked in awhile

 

[Corinthian™]

bothered with finals...

 

[Timstuff]

Went to four stores today looking for this movie. The first two were sold out, and the third didn't seem to have it in stock. So even though I didn't want to, I ended up going to the Wal-Mart where I work, on my day off. And sure enough, they were the only one that had any left. But hey, at least I finally it. I'm going to watch it tonight.

 

[Elijya]

glad to hear it's doing well

I have mine reserved, but I can't get to the store it's at until tomorrow

Not all Dubs are terrible and not all are excellent.......... thats how I feel about it.

 

[Timstuff]

Whew, I just finished watching it. It blew my socks off! The English dub wasn't that bad, even though there were some odd breaks in the dialogue (which is most likely because it's difficult to sync the english language with japanese lip movement). I thought the voices were good enough though, and the movie itself was sweet. It's not the best movie ever, but certainly worthy of ownership by any FFVII and/or animation fan. It makes me wish that Square would hurry up with that FFVII remake for PS3 that they've been teasing about!

Definately a satasfying movie. 4/5 stars.

 

[Tsunulia]

......................the voices...............THE VOICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was very optimistic about the English dub, but it's like they didn't really try. As entertainment it's ok, but as art it's not ok. I'm just glad i didn't pay a lot for it.

I started getting confused because some of the conversations were changed to allow better understanding of what was going on.............i just got a little more lost.

oh well.............I actually thought that Sephiroth was the most decent dub.

 

[Psionic Force]

I bought it last night at Walmart... as someone that has not really played the games, I actually liked the movie.

Do the games look like the movie? What is the title of the next one?

 

[Elijya]

The most recent games, FFX and FFX-2 look pretty close to the movie, and FF7 8 and 9 had cut scenes that were close.

What is the title of the next what? the next Final Fantasy Game? Uh, Final Fantasy 12

 

[TheVileOne]

WHAT!!!!

what is on this disc?

No one on Gamestop would tell me.

FYI guys, this seems to be selling out wherever I go. I had to drive extra to a more remote Best Buy in order to buy it and another copy for a friend's birthday present.

You know what this proves? That companies cannot cite downloading as a source of sales going down.

If anything, I think the downloading of AC just made people more excited about it and made them want to own it even more. But Square Enix seemed to lazy to provide it for a while.

 

[Tsunulia]

I had absolutely no problem getting it. (of course I got there about an hour after the store opened)

It was about afternoon (after class really) for me.

Anyone else have trouble finding it or is it selling well in your areas?

It seems to be selling very well in the Austin and Texas areas really. It topped #1 on Amazon.com a couple days ago.

 

[Tsunulia]

I haven't checked back anywhere to see how it's selling. I went to Best Buy and they said that their initial shipment wasn't very large so they will probably sell out quickly since they have it cheapest.

 

[Elijya]

none of you reserved?

 

[Tsunulia]

none of you reserved?

I'm always early to get my stuff. One time I got the very first Star Wars right out the shipping box. I don't usually reserve unless I get somn really good as a bonus.

 

[TheVileOne]

BTW guys, I really dig the REMINISCENCE for FFVII feature.

It's a nice little clip show version of the FFVII game, a nice summary of it basically with a few extra Cloud/cell phone/motorcycle scenes thrown in.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

The dubbing and the lip sync were not the best, in fact both were average or borderline poor and this was distracting. And the action scene's could have been longer by a few mins, but it was just nice to see the characters again that i have loved so much since i was 14. Anyone know if there are any plans for a movie sequel for FF8 and FF9.

 

[Elijya]

doubt it, those two games don't have near the following that 7 does. I don't think we'll hear Square even mention the possibility unless FF:AC does extremely well, which it seems to be so far

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

squall deserves his own film but it's not likely.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah, i liked Squall and Zidane, not as much as Cloud, but Squall had a better sword, the gun blade.
