Sometimes I remember FFVII and how Cloud had a personality. "Let's mosey" is probably the best line ever.





Advent Children was exciting to watch once, and then the sadness set in.:smith:

i watched that movie and i think i blocked it out of my memory, because not only do i not remember that part, i cannot recall a single scene. however, spirits within is fresh in my mind

I remember really being excited about Spirits Within and I'm pretty sure I was conscious for all of it but I remember it like I fell asleep through the middle third of it or maybe 5/8ths or something.

I can only remember the beginning where like there's motorcycles or something then I forgot everything else. Wasn't there another Final Fantasy movie that wasn't related to any of the games at all?

edit: yeah forgot the name of that one too. Spirits within

i like genesis's sword

crisis core is the only place sephiroth actually owns but it's also the only thing i've cared about in the extended universe or w/e

When I first saw this i justified the crazy anime action to my friends by being all "they're all level 99 so of course they can do crazy poo poo."

I still think that's as good an explanation as any

being anime is no excuse for looking like poo poo though. gurren lagann ended with a fight across the entire universe and mechs being punched through galaxies like DBZ characters through cliffs, but the animators actually made it look really good and weighty despite the ridiculous premise. the action in advent children just looks really limp and floaty and the characters seem to be able to do whatever the script says without any internal consistency and it makes the whole thing look like a parody of itself

The Bahamut fight was so weak because it was anime as gently caress and bland, it felt forced in there so they could have a reference to Bahamut and summoning. The fight in the forest was cool Matrix poo poo though, and despite the fact nobody ever feels like they're in danger I just like watching cool over-the-top nonsense every once in a while.

I kinda liked it but I don't remember anything that actually happened in it. Whenever I think I do it turns out it was the space part in ff8 that I was thinking of.

i got around to watching advent children for the first time ever a couple of months ago actually, since i managed to put it off for nearly a decade and finally just now got around to watching it

it was poo poo, poo poo poo poo poo poo. the dialogue, oh my loving god. i mean i normally don't like anime and make fun of how a lot of it has really stilted writing but it felt like nobody ever actually had a conversation in that goddamn film. it was more like everyone was just kind of overhearing each other and talking to themselves about whatever the goddamn situation was. and the main bad guy was some prettyboy goon who just kind of shows up and starts talking about how great he is and I don't even know if he was supposed to be secretly Sephiroth or not, or what his deal is, I don't even feel like I really watched the movie even because I don't have a goddamn clue what happened.

and at the end of the movie sephiroth shows up and he and cloud have a big dragonball z fight and that's that. also all the other cast members show up for two seconds just because they have to, because it's a FF7 circlejerk with no plot. and despite cloud saving the world, he's now a delivery boy somehow

also the subtitles and english VO were different, like the script for the subs and for the VO was translated by two different people

I bought the DVD on clearance for a dollar and usually it's easy to justify a dollar DVD purchase, since if you get one thing out of it, it was worth it. a laugh, something to make fun of, boobs, gore, it's not hard to find at least one thing in a lovely movie to point out. but advent children, I can't even remember more than a couple of minutes. everything I mentioned up there is everything I remember, aside from reno & rude showing up for comic relief (and there wasn't even much comic or relief when they were around). i could have used that dollar to buy a candy bar or part of a soda or 1/40th of a new 3DS game but no, i wasted it and hosed up

I give it: 0/5. This movie has not earned the Gay Skull Seal of Quality™.

the main character of orcs must die 2 had to become a miner because he destroyed the portals in OMD1 and his job was literally just Guard Portals

i like the idea of people having to find uses for their skills after a game is over

lol do I remember that scene? do you go around asking New York Firefighters if they remember the day two gleaming towers fell? hey, jackie, remember when your husbo got a little off the top in Dallas? holy poo poo I can't believe you've asked this. hum, you ask basically, do you think Mary Magdalene recalled witnessing the Son of God and our lord Jesus Christ get nailed to a loving cross? i could stick my head into a time portal and witness nagasaki evaporated in a blinding light for eternity and not have that image seared into my eyes as much as the sight of Red XIII giving Cloud an alley oop is.

FF7 didn't take itself seriously, ffs. It had some serious bits as well as funny and weird bits but my 11 year old self was OK with that because ADVENTURE and COOL DUDES and bosses and you could blow the earth with a meteor.

Now, Advent Children made Cloud emo and these lovely CGI fights gently caress FF7 fandom seriously. It's like growing up to discover they made a serious Batman movie oh gently caress they really did.

advent children was terrible and sucked any soul that the original game had out of the experience

the only worthwhile ff 7 spinoff was crisis core, and even parts of that were pretty gay too

I always figured they would just do what celebrity athletes do and just sort of sit around in their mansions thinking about how wealthy they are and occasionally show up as a cameo on TV or in a stoner comedy

Gau from FF6 probably became a regular on their equiv. to Dr. Phil
