Oh god, I only know this from the TDI LP. Can't wait to see the trainwreck in motion.
Two minutes in, literally the first line in the game and the writing is already glorious: the hound weaves something something a dog sticking its paws into a loom.

e: Steve Blum's finest work, this ain't.

Is the bad guy's name literally "Blue, the blue"? All that's missing is "the hedgehog".

That's the thing... You get those gloriously stupid cutscene and edgelord dialogue but the actual gameplay consists of running around grey streets and wharehouses and nondescript hallways. It's like they figured the FF7 title will sell the game on its own and just went :effort:

Slightly less random and not used as the universal plot device for everything. Still pretty loving dumb.

I hate myself for saying this but I'm kinda liking Yuffie here. Anime comedy aside, she could be the perfect foil for Vincent's broody antics; shame them teaming up doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Well, that's a party reunion. Only two questions: 1) Where is the talking dog, 2) Why the gently caress does Vincent wear shiny pointy shoes that I somehow failed to notice until now?

Bwahaha. G's identity is one of the few things I *do* remember from the last LP of this game and it's... Well, something.

Honestly I don't even know who it is. But now I'm thinking it's not the person who I thought it was.
Wait, now I'm confused, maybe I'm the one who got it wrong. I thought it was absolutely nothing relevant to the plot but a cameo by some Japanese pop singer?

One thing I'll say for Advent Children is that the music is great. The rest, uh... not so much; I'm thinking it was an early experiment by Square in milking their franchises; the process has been perfected since.

I think this game succeeded in killing off any positive feelings one might have associated with any of the FF7 characters.

Well, that... sure was a reveal. Maybe says something about the true nature of the Internet. Still, nice of the bad guy to interrupt his doomsday plan just because Vincent politely asks him to wait.

Okay, so what the hell is up with G's voice? Did they not redub it or something? Because that accent completely kills off any (however unlikely) chance of taking him seriously.

Did they have a different voice for him before? Never played Crisis Core so I'm not sure.
Neither have I, but my immediate impression was "the only reason to have an accent like this was if the guy wanted to voice himself".
