The greatest of feasts

I can't find it, but I remember reading a great article about how Advent Children was more about getting the viewer to buy stuff than telling a story. The movie has a scene that evokes Aerith/s/th's death by showing the tie-in mobile phone sinking to the bottom of a pool of water. Vincent is the only core character other than Cloud and Tifa to get more than a glorified cameo and guess who happens to have his own game coming out around the time of the movie's release? It really nailed how, even by tie-in standards, it was all such a cynical cash-grab.

Oh don't worry it gets better! Trust me it gets better. Wait til you see the overall end of the game.

And it's still better than Advent Children.

okay now hold on let's not say anything we'll regret

I'm saying it. This game is bad, there's no denying it, but AC was atrocious. I wasn't even that big of a FFVII fan and I felt cheated. Great soundtrack though, I'll freely admit that.

Imagine if this had Resonance of Fate's weapon mechanics, and instead of swapping out barrels, it let you build ridiculous Frankenguns with 35 sights and 8 magazines.

God, that game was fun.

Only three barrels? Pfft, loser.

Lucrecia is the worst.

The thing that makes me laugh is that Lucrecia being a terrible person (not quite Hojo 2.0, but not far off it) was a long-held fan theory, despite there not being overmuch in the original game to back it up. Then this game comes along and goes 'yeah, sure, why not'. So for anyone thinking this game seemed a little fanficy at times, well...
