The first one seems to be Yuffie.

The second one may be Loz, but judging from the different clothing, might actually be someone new (Zack?).

*UPDATE* + *SPOILER*
Actually, I’m now absolutely sure that it’s Zack in the second picture. If you recall from the Cloud-Zack scene that you see in the Mansion Basement, Cloud and Zack were in a truck. In the picture above, the person in the picture is in the back of a truck.

The first one seems to be Yuffie.

The second one may be Loz, but judging from the different clothing, might actually be someone new (Zack?).

they certainly look like them.

Well my first clue was that when a giant bird came falling out of the sky and he told me Zack was going to be in the movie, then a squirrel came and drew a sword and transformed into Zack. Then I was certain!!

Jackass!

…you said it… :rolleyes:

The Entire scan has been released.

(adventchildren.net)

Here we can see some higher quality pictures of Yuffie. In the smaller one it looks like the same place Vincent is (at the bottom). I’m not entirely sure, but on Yuffie’s shirt, in the front it looks like two strings pulled in front of her. Maybe she just landed from parachuting? I’m pretty sure it’s recently after the Vincent picture, as the people in the background aren’t too much farther than they were in the Vincent scan in that area.

Looks like Kadaj has a cell phone too.

At the bottom is a picture of who is likely Zack

In the upper left it looks like there’s maybe a meeting? Or maybe the people are running to that area to seek refuge from the monsters that are attacking the city.

The structure in the middle, I’m pretty sure, is a Meteor replica. There’s a chunk missing (from the rocket), just like Meteor, and below it the wavy metalic base is similar to what lifestream did at the end of the game. Also, around the center, it sort of looks like some Sectors of Midgar, perhaps.

*Edit*
I also found another scan floating around. It’s lower quality than the above one, but it has one additional picture that the above doesn’t:

Not really sure what it says, but it’s H– Lodge. That’s the best I can do with the blurriness.

It could be Meteor by the look of it, but its very small…

H– lodge what could it be?? It looks like the 2 letters after H are both a???s or o???s I think, and the last letter looks like an N.

Other ideas what it could say or be?

"Who’s using my Materia?" [Yuffie]

– Does Materia exist 2 years on from FFVII?

– "H???rin", a place where Cloud has been invited to by someone. It lies deep in the forest, with no signs of life.

– A memorial resembeling Meteor stands profoundly in the middle of the town…

"Then perhaps you tricked me?" [Kadaj]

– Kadaj raises his voice on the phone. What’s the meaning behind his words?

O yes thx Junon it is…

And Midgar is pretty much destroyed, it would be strange if there are so many people wandering around in a destroyed city…

Midgar wasn’t completely destroyed. We don’t even know the condition of the slums when meteor hits, as in the ending FMV, all we see those tornado things hitting is the pizza on top. Reeve said that he had all of the people take refuge in the slums, and it seemed like a happy ending for FF7, so it’s likely that the people in the slums are still alive. In all the city screens we’ve seen, there’s sunlight, so it’s possible that in the two years, the pizza’s been removed.

– Does Materia exist 2 years on from FFVII?

– "Hiirin", a place where Cloud has been invited to by someone. It lies deep in the forest, with no signs of life.

"Then perhaps you tricked me?" [Kadaj]

– Kadaj raises his voice on the phone. What’s the meaning behind his words?

– Zack is seen in a pick-up truck. He will be seen in the DVD though it’s unknown what role he will have in the movie, and whether he will only be in flashbacks or in the thoughts of other characters.

– V-Jump has stated the release date as "undecided" rather than as "2004", thus, there is a possibility that the release date has been changed.

The quotes are taken from the translations of scans part off www.adventchildren.net. It is explaining things on that scan above.

ok i’m going to translate the page i,ve given before pufff

"the story tells the happenings two years later cloud defeat sephiroth. cloud has be living apart from the others but he keeps in contact with them. tifa takes care of marlene and a kids while barret’s out looking for a energy to replace the mako .

cloud doesn’t come back to midgar to invistigate no illness ,but he comes to investigate who are " grey haired men" (the ae call like that,actually). this is a group that is made by three members: kadaj(a sephiroth copy but with the hair short),loz( that’s looklike zell of final fantasy VII) and yazoo ( the sephiroths perfect copy but his hair is a little shoter then seph’s y he’s using a gun-blade).
this three guys seem to be sephiroht’s followers that are looking to complete the reunion that wasn’t complete because of cloud and the others, the trailers show kadaj on knees in front of a figure in a whell chair for this mysteri figure we con only see the hand and jugting for the zise of the hand it could be sephiroth him self and all this rumors about sephiroth being just a flash back could be wrong".
CONTINUE…

" in the last trailer (showed in los angeles and for the very first time in english not in japonese) there a shown for the very fisrt time tifa whom look changed to look like rinoa from the final fantasy VII figthin against loz.
in the full trailer we could see the turks (reno and rude)figthing against kadaj,loz and yazoo,and talking to cloud. a cid and nanaki ( red XIII) image going some where . and some scenes extra that’ll leave the ff fans soprised

the movie was sopose to be publict last mont but because they are going to add it 30 minutes it means the movie i’ll have 90 minutos the new out date is

japan: around the end of 2004
united states: at the begin of 2005
europe: don’t know"

Yes but Reeve says: I have had all the people take refugee in the slums, but with the things going now…..

Like we do not know for sure that they live, and if you look at the trailers you see Midgar totally ruined and no people anywhere except for Cloud and the SHM fighting…

Yes but Reeve says: I have had all the people take refugee in the slums, but with the things going now…..

Looking at some of the pictures, it’s possible that some of the movie may be in Junon, but with all we’ve seen in the church, I still think that Midgar will be more important.

does he have the star simdrom
I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that he indeed is infected with Geostigma (The English name for it)

Here’s a shot I found with Marlene and that one boy. I have a new theory; do you think they’re in love?
All that I’ve heard about those two are that Marlene takes care of Denzel. That’s pretty much it that we can tell from the scans with those two together.

I found this picture somewhere that shows the sister ray in the background. Maybe that means it’ll be used in the story of AC. Any ideas? When they shoot it, it didn’t blow up or anything, it jsut cut the power of Midgar basically.
Well, like Brein said, Midgar was pretty trashed after Meteor hit, and the only people that really cared about the thing are probably dead or are definitely dead. It’s possible that Cid or someone might try to fix it and use it, but at this point, I’m just going to say that its not likely that the Sister Ray will be used, as it used all of the Mako reactors, which are now shut down.

can’t you see it in that picture above from FFVII: AC!!???

(Oh, and we did land on the moon. There’s more than solid proof to back it up, just in case you were wondering. Sorry to get off topic there.)

I know that it looks like water and all but it’s not, it’s just a valley. And if it WAS Junon (which it’s not) Junon has that huge wall against a cliff to the back remember?

Lol…

Hey that rhymes..

I just realised, lol, I thought it was water, yer your right it is a valley 😀 .

Taken from www.adventchildren.net. Hopefully it gets released on the net.

And guys, check advent children.net. There are new scans of a weird lodge place! And Zack! W00t!

Scan #1 ()

Scan #2 ()

Theres a sign for Midagr, Kalm and Chocobo Farm.

As for where the Healin Lounge is, I’m going to say it’s at the area near Midgar where there is a circular pool thing. It’s directly east of Junon(I’ve checked in-game) and there are 4 waterfalls in that area. 3 into the circular area, and another to the north east leading to it. These are the only waterfalls that I could find in the Midgar area, and since we see a small waterfall in the scan, it seems likely that is where they are.

In the scan, in the top-left corner, the windows of that white building are quite similar to the ones that we see the WCP in front of.

1) Cloud lives with orphans in peace, but it indicates that he is still a mercenary because he receives a call offering work one day to fight a young man named Kadaj.

2) Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo seem to be well known for their rowdiness and violence, and they are on a search fir someone they call "mother".

This IS official. It’s the newest article on the adventchildren.net homepage. Neat stuff, huh?

Also, YAY! AC figurines! But, the quality looks sub-par. It just looks too…plastic. Too shiny. Not enough texture. And that shoulder doesn’t look too good there.

Also, I stated long ago that the person in the wheelchair is Sephiroth. I just see this movie being exactly like the storyline of FFVII: Predictable.

I]Also, I stated long ago that the person in the wheelchair is Sephiroth.[/I]

Is that a typo where you meant to say "it", rather than "I"? Just because you state it doesn’t make it true, you know. Believing that to be true is a sign of a distorted mind. True, most evidence points to Sephiroth being the man in the wheelchair, but that’s not my point. Also…

I just see this movie being exactly like the storyline of FFVII: Predictable.

Aside from the basic Final Fantasy trademarks, just how was it predictable? I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you played when the game first came out, ruling out the possiblity of you running into other material inspired by FFVII, then later on playing the game and seeing the material and deeming it unoriginal and predictable without considering such. So, did you look at Aerith the first time and go "Oh, she is SO gonna die.", or watch Cloud for a few hours, then realize he’s not really an Ex-sodier member, but actually an easily manipulated clone of Sephiroth, only later to realize that he’s not a clone, but his memories are not entirely his? Now, that’s al speculation, and addmittetly a bit unfair, but I am indeed curious as to how you assess it to be predictable and unoriginal?

Sorry to get off topic there, but those are statements that peticularly irk me.

Yes, I know that this is the third or fourth time I have directed a FFVII fan to that thread. But, maybe it’s for the best.

But I read too much…..
🙁

Some interesting bits about the Venice trailer

Well now.. it seems that Tifa and Cloud aren’t apart. They work together as Strife Delivery Service. Now really sure where Tifa and Marlene are staying, but its the HQ for SDS. Cloud is living in the church. It also seems that he has contracted Geostigma.

Cloud, (this is pieced together from the three write-ups I’ve read, not exactly what each says) is called by Reno for help against Kadaj and gang. Reno and Rude are the bodyguards of the wheel-chair man, who Kadaj calls "Mr. President." Yeah.. that would be Rufus. Rufus wants to rebuild Midgar and wants Cloud’s help, but, still feeling guilty about Aeris, Cloud doesn’t want to fight.

After the battle between Tifa and Loz that we’ve seen in trailers, the children that were at the orphanage are kidnapped by the SHM. Kadaj then shows them some way to become powerful, and that leads to the screen we’ve seen with the children all standing, motionless, in a circle. They have cat-like eyes, similar to Kadaj.

As Cloud goes to the City of Ancients(I forgot the name =X) he races through the forests, only to see the children of the orphanage in front of him, not moving. He makes a quick stop, falling off of his bike, and with Kadaj holding his blades [There’s two blades on his one sword, just FYI] to Cloud’s throat. After Kadaj makes a little evil-guy speech telling the good guy all about his plan, he lifts up his blade and is about to kill Cloud. But Vincent now shows up, shoots away Kadaj’s sword and swoops down (from one of the early trailers with Barret) and saves Cloud.

Now, we see Kadaj on top of a skyscraper type building, with Rufus. He makes another evil-guy speech to him, and then lets off a summon (which we’ve also seen in trailers I believe) and brings down Bahamut to cause havoc in Midgar, burning things and eating people. It’s now that we get to see all the characters. First Barret, shooting away, then Red XIII jumping on the back of Bahamut, and Cid swinging away. Also, Yuffie parachutes down and starts fighting too. Vincent is also there, of course. Nothing about Cait Sith/Reeve, though

At the end, Cloud, with two swords (Just remember how huge those things are O_O) goes to attack someone, while debris is flying at him, which he slices through easily. Through the debris, is good old Sephiroth, who "won’t just be a memory"

I really doubt that’s actually Sephiroth. Cloud’s likely dreaming again =X

Also, I really can’t wait to hear Vincent’s voice! According to one of the write-ups, it’s unbelievably deep.

They’re from write-ups of the Venice Film Festival that played around a 25 minute teaser trailer of AC. The writeups can be found at:

Not really sure what it says, but it’s H– Lodge. That’s the best I can do with the blurriness. [/B]

I found a less blurry picture that I burned on a disc. It says Healin Lodge and the directions to Kalm, Midgar, and Chocobo Farm underneath the name.

Actually, Aeris plays a pretty big role in getting Cloud to want to fight again, but so does Tifa. The Aeris scene in the Venice trailer was apparently a tear-jerker, where they showed most of her body, and she forgives Cloud. That’s the "Yes.. I want to be forgiven" from one of the earlier trailers. Afterwards, Cloud wakes up and sees the children where he falls off of his bike.

In the Sephiroth scene, though, it’s Tifa who encourages Cloud to be strong and fight.

Kirgar is right….Aeris was the driving motivation for Cloud.

Seeing all these trailers and pictures brings up old memories…I think I’m in love with FFVII…Don’t tell my girlfriend…

Kirgar is right….Aeris was the driving motivation for Cloud.

That’s where you are wrong my friend. The old friend is Tifa. It has been confirmed. Aeris is dead. Let her stay that way.

Aeris is dead, no doubt…ok, some people argue that she might be alive at the end, but assume for topic she is dead. People assume simply because she is dead they were not meant to be. Though, many subtle hints: Caith Sith’s compatability reading, Cloud’s mother saying an older girl (Tifa is younger than Cloud if I am not mistaken, Aeris is older though), how after saving Tifa all Cloud can think about is Aeris.

However, I consider it a miscalculation to have Cloud just end up with her, when even at the end his heart was always with Aeris. However, FF7:AC may use this. For all we know, there is a fight and Tifa will yell "You had wish it was me instead of Aeris who died" or arguements like that.

It all depends on how Square-Enix will execute this.

Ah, it is a bit of a jump to asume it is THE SOLE purpose. Did he not say he wants to be like Sephiroth? She perhaps influenced him into getting into solider…and they parted, like most people do when they don’t hear from each other. One point in time, he may have been interested.

But as the game starts, there is little to suggest he really has anything for her other than she is a rebound.

Wow, how wrong. Many animes have childhood friends as well, and they later end up falling in love. ^.^ Wakka and Yuna were not childhood friends..Where did you get your info? Haha.

In addition, it is suggested throughout the game in FFX, as Lulu, Kimhari, and Wakka were with her for a long time as her guardians. I already provided the example of Chrono Cross with Serge and Leanna as well.

In addition, I specifically said RPGs, and that is true. I said nothing about animes. But surely if it is so common in animes, would you not provide examples? Twice you have just said how wrong without really elaborating on your claims. But this is more for the Aeris vs Tifa topic.

I was simply voicing concern over the game more than a position.

Yes, but I have his wallscroll of him in AC, and just his shirt is a dark navy blue. Everything else, black.

i found that pic.

Hmmm, I think that would be interesting to see. Cloud probably does, though. I like Tifa_Martial_Artist, but I have to agree with Gandalf on this subject. If Cloud was really all that interested in Tifa he would’ve ignored Aerith, and if Tifa were really all that interested in Cloud, she would’ve done something about Cloud and Aerith getting closer. Some would argue that Tifa loved him so much that she just wanted him to be happy. From personal experience, I find this concept to be a steaming pile of bullshit. If you really love them that much and are willing to commit to them and no one else and not so much as look at anyone else, wouldn’t they be happier with you? Anyway, Aerith is D-E-A-D DEAD! However, we are only sure that she is physically dead. Her spirit surely still exists in the lifestream and perhaps elsewhere on the planet where Cloud could meet her. As for Cloud and Tifa having a kid….wha? That just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe there’s something I’m missing, but…

Someone in this thread misinterpreted and thought that tifa and cloud had kids but I think that they meant the orphans..

Yes, they are supposedly the orphans they take care of at the orphanage.

That would be awsome if they had babies though!

My fault, damn, and I make such a big deal when people do that to me.

*Takes his sign*

Or this one?

The reasen I can’t wright much is because of a time limit..And anyway..

Lunar Star: Silver Story is one where the childhood friends fall in love. 😀

The creature in the AC scans I’m guessing is bahamut, from the write-ups I’ve read about him being summoned.

As for Dirge of Chaos, a new thread will probably need to be made =X It looks quite good, though, so I doubt it will be on the cell phone .

14th of February, to be more precise. It’s either 2nd or 3rd quarter for States, Europe maybe same as states or last quarter.

Yes it is. Who else would Kadaj be bowing to?

Yes it is. Who else would Kadaj be bowing to?

He’s bowing to "Mr. President," or Rufus. Kadaj is messing with Rufus, not actually showing respect.

Yes it is. Who else would Kadaj be bowing to?

SPOILER WARNING!!!! DO NOT READ THIS POST!!!!

I have no reason to dislike you, but you REALLY need to check these things out before charging headlong into an argument. He’s trying to win over Rufus to help him with the resurrection of Jenova, and he’s offering incentive that Jenova can reverse geostigma. This same offer is being made when he gives the children that speech in the second trailer. Appearantly, Rufus (and the nasty effects of Geostigma) will be seen without the cloak. And besides, how can it be Sephiroth when he (I’m guessing here, but based on the information I have, it’s a pretty good guess) is the one causing Geostigma, using all of the Jenova cells to reunite himself. Kadaj has a part of Jenova that he beleives will resurrect his mother, but it will, in fact resurrect Sephiroth. (guessing/ hypothesizing done)

SPOILERS OVER!!! YOU MAY RESUME NORMAL READING!!!!

Oh, and sorry Rotex. I should’ve warned you about that. I didn’t give everything away, though.

He’s bowing to "Mr. President," or Rufus. Kadaj is messing with Rufus, not actually showing respect.

After the final battle in FF7-game, a return of Sephiroth can’t be on a wheelchair… what do you think about it? 😀

Sorry, I have no time to read the thread, I don’t know if everyone else have said yet this:

What happened to Cloud…?:(
Sunglasses?
Cellular phone… really on sale??
Cloud is a new-yuppie now!!:D

Besides, I think that Cloud’s face in AC is a bit too round, I would made a thinner face for him…
Like a grow-up version of John Connor in Terminator 2, you remember it?;)

Sorry, i don’t really keep up to date with the whole advent children thing.

I LOVE Terminator 2, and I remember that, but don’t post things like that. You’ll give Square Enix ideas. Soon….

COMING TO THEATRES IN 2007! CLOUD STRIFE IS THE TERMINATOR!!! A killing machine sent back in time to be one important little boy’s bitch- uh, I mean, protector against a l33t cyborg ninja assasin from the future, who is, by the way Sephiroth. Please see this movie! We needlessly dumped $500 million dollars into this! C’mon!

Is THAT the future you want? Well, actually, if they did it right, it could work…

::preppy giggle::

I love that piccie..:love:

AHAHAHAH:D

No it can’t be….

By the way I like the idea of AC very much,
but I’m even prepared to the worse:

1. Only about 60 minutes
2. Why Square always have to make realistic charcaters like asian boys and girls?? (and the difference between a boy and a girl is not so strong…:( ) It doesn’t exist only Japan!!
3. Sephiroth is like Marylin Manson…!!
Effeminate, and a bit too weird..
4. The new charcaters are very similar between them…
Tetsuya Nomura created very good characters only one time…
Maybe ’cause was more influenced by the drawings of Amano.

I like Tifa, Barret (no punk hair but the new style is good), Cid is very good, even Vincent, and Red, even Yuffie…
Why Cloud and Seph have to be more realistic and less similar to the original Cloud than the others charcaters…?
🙁

5.I really like the locations, I hope the story would (or will? dunno=)) be interesting….

Square, we count on you!:D

At first I thought that is was my impression, but later I made this work…

http://aio.altervista.org/video/diffmodel.JPG

I think that Jap-model (no.1) is a Cloud modified on purpose for this trailer, to make happy the Japanese fans…
What do you think about it?

At first I thought that is was my impression, but later I made this work…

http://aio.altervista.org/video/diffmodel.JPG

I think that Jap-model (no.1) is a Cloud modified on purpose for this trailer, to make happy the Japanese fans…
What do you think about it?

I always thought so too. Cloud does look Japanese and I think it’s also for the purpose of Japanese viewers.

He’s even sexier looking Asain :sexpot: ! I always thought Cloud was a true sexgod and always had the hots for Asain dudes :sexpot: !

I dislike very much the Japanese Cloud:

1. I like asian faces, but Square is making too asian heroes in its works.
2. I supposed that CLoud is not an asian.
Yuffie IS an asian girl, no doubt of it, I agree with her characterization in AC, but Cloud with almond eyes is like
a movie about Bruce LEe starring Steven Seagal…
*GOSH*…
😮

😀

I think, the most of the characters look too asian in AC. 🙁

Why, for example, the princess of FFIX in Amno’s painting is a blond girl, and Nomura made a Japanese pop-idol exactly like Rinoa…?

AC will be released worldwide, I think the look of the charas have to be more international, an asian protagoinst is obviously a choice for the asian audience, but the players are not only Japanese.

And when you get down to it, there’s no such thing as an undefined look. People of all regions have their own defining characteristics. When you say they should have an undefined look, your real meaning is that they should have a western look.

Your flimsy attempt at argument crumbles. Try again?

But I know what aio is trying to say. Beside Yuffie maybe, nobody else should look like a Japanese, because they are not. :rolleyes:

And anyway, no one in the game is actually Japanese (even Yuffie) because there is no Japan in the game. Why can’t they define the look of the people in their own world? Are you under the delusion that your personal impressions of the characters should override those of the people that created them?

And the Japanese don’t want to make all look like Japanese, because a lot of them have a fable for the Western looking people. It’s a fact. I read about before, and have seen it on TV too.

But like I said, I don’t care how they look like. 🙂

————————————————————

Jeez, you people are so self-centered, it’s ridiculous. Not meant to look Japanese, you say? How would you know? Have the game’s developers ever said that? It’s not like you could tell from the game because they all looked like anime characters.

It’s not so obvious that Cloud is a Japanese boy.
I think that in this Square is self-centered.
But I didn’say that is ridicolous, please, be less arrogant.
But maybe I have to repeat my point of view:

Yes, it’s Japanese movie, but I think that a fantasy character would have an undefinied look, not a precise look of a region of this planet.

Do u remember Squall of FF8?
I think he’s not so oriental, neither too western, this the meaning that I give to an "undefined look".
I think that Squall is an example of this kind of characterization.

Prak, I know you miss to argue, but it would be more intersenting if u tell us:

1. If you like Japanese characterization of Cloud
2. If you like the idea of Advent Children

These subject are more general, maybe you don’t care to explain your point of view, but I’m pretty curious to know what a FF7 hater like you is thinking about Advent Children…
😀

You can tell from the fact that Japan does not exist in the game that no one is Japanese. Yuffie isn’t asian because there is no Asia.

And the Japanese don’t want to make all look like Japanese, because a lot of them have a fable for the Western looking people. It’s a fact. I read about before, and have seen it on TV too.

Your point is? That’s no reason why the characters in AC should not look asian. That’s nothing more than a cultural footnote.

But like I said, I don’t care how they look like. 🙂

Actually, you didn’t say that. Not on this thread anyway. And if you said it somewhere else, you contradicted yourself by saying that they shouldn’t look asian.

And aio, I could shred what you just said, piece by piece, but anyone with half a brain can see that you either misunderstood my points or are dodging the issue, because you’ve completely failed to address them. I will answer yours perfectly clearly, however.

I don’t mind the character designs at all. If that’s the way Square wants to portray their characters, then there’s no reason to complain.

As for my opinion on AC, I’m going to reserve judgement. I will watch it, though I don’t have any particular expectations of it.

So, anyone with half a brain can see that you are here just to argue.

As usual…

Why are u thinking this:

you either misunderstood my points or are dodging the issue, because you’ve completely failed to address them.
I don’t think I did it.
If you are going to shred by pieces what I explained to you, then do it, without criticizing with no reason.
Come on, please shred my previous opinions, and tell me why I completely faild to address them:

It’s not so obvious that Cloud is a Japanese boy.
I think that in this Square is self-centered.
But I didn’say that is ridicolous, please, be less arrogant.
But maybe I have to repeat my point of view:

quote: Yes, it’s Japanese movie, but I think that a fantasy character would have an undefinied look, not a precise look of a region of this planet.

Do u remember Squall of FF8?
I think he’s not so oriental, neither too western, this the meaning that I give to an "undefined look".
I think that Squall is an example of this kind of characterization

By the way, At least, I have still my opinoins about AC.

Waht do u think about the characterization of Sephiroth??
He seems the brother of Marylin Manson… quite girlish evil guy.
I would have made him more serious and less clowny.:D

Yuffie isn’t asian because there is no Asia.

Yes, there is. Wutai is an Asian town. I can’t tell you exactly what it suppose to be, because the way they life is Japanese style, but we had a thread before where it said, this is like a Chinese place or something.

Your point is? That’s no reason why the characters in AC should not look asian. That’s nothing more than a cultural footnote.

The whole thing is a culture thing. I know a lot of Japanese people like Western stuff, and they even try to look like Western people. They are proud, it they can show or act like some of the West. (I didn’t make it up, I’ve seen reports on TV about that before)

It is ok, because this is like some Western people would like to be Japanese, or life there or whatever.

Actually, you didn’t say that. Not on this thread anyway. And if you said it somewhere else, you contradicted yourself by saying that they shouldn’t look asian.

What I was trying to say is, the most of them shouldn’t look like Japanese people, because it is not meant this way. But if they do look like Japanese, I won’t hate the game for that. I’ll just take it the way it is.

Actually I never thought about it before, until I read the last posts. So no need to put me down for my opinion. No need to put other peoples opinion down either. 😉

So, anyone with half a brain can see that you are here just to argue.

As usual…

If I didn’t care even slightly, I wouldn’t bother seeing the movie. And I don’t care about the characterization because it’s all original. The elements you take issue with were never clearly defined. You had your own impression of them, so you’re fighting to make them correct.

By the way, At least, I have still my opinoins about AC.

Duh.

Waht do u think about the characterization of Sephiroth??
He seems the brother of Marylin Manson… quite girlish evil guy.
I would have made him more serious and less clowny.:D

I think it’s a perfectly natural evolution of the original design and very much in keeping with traditional Final Fantasy designs.

That’s nice. And what does it mean in the context of this discussion? Are you saying that just because some Japanese like western culture, that it’s a foolproof reason why Square should make their characters look western?

And how do you know it isn’t meant that way? I’d say all evidence is pointing against that. You are just saying it isn’t meant that way because that’s your personal impression and you won’t give it up in the face of clarification.

Actually I never thought about it before, until I read the last posts. So no need to put me down for my opinion. No need to put other peoples opinion down either.

Actually, some opinions deserve to be insulted. If it’s a lame opinion and the person will not alter it in the face of undeniable logic, I will mock it.

But you have to explain me a thing:

Why are u thinking this:

I don’t think I did it.

And for Sephiroth, oh my, you are even able to reply without insulting!!
Very nice job!:D

I always thought so too. Cloud does look Japanese and I think it’s also for the purpose of Japanese viewers.

He’s even sexier looking Asain :sexpot: ! I always thought Cloud was a true sexgod and always had the hots for Asain dudes :sexpot: !

Yeah..You’re husband was…good last night.

I agree. I love the Asain looks on them! It is a Japanese movie and not all of the characters are going to look white 100%. I’m not dissing white people because I’m white myself, but someones going to look Asain because it is made in Japan. Tifa to me only looks Asain up close. But she also looks either Irish, Medeterainian, or French. I like it! Cloud look’s like Chester from Linkin Park in that movie when he had bleached hair. He looked like he had some Asain in him. Alot of people don’t think so, but Cloud’s new look is SE-XY! Yuffie didn’t even look Asain in FFVII and that’s what the town of Wutai was supposed to be, the Asain style, but I never commented about it. I’m just glad they gave her that look in AC.

The only thing here that I haven’t addressed is the Squall thing. And to that, I simply say, "So what?"

If you want anything more than that, you’ll have to be clearer with your questions.

Asia is a continent, not the elements unique to it. As such, Asia does not exist in any FF world.

It doesn’t exist as Asia, but it does exist. I mean, isn’t that the earth (or gaia) the story is playing?

Costa del Sol is Spain for example, and it does exist. Why can’t Wutai be the Asian area then?

Are you saying that just because some Japanese like western culture, that it’s a foolproof reason why Square should make their characters look western?

What I want to say is, they like people with blonde hair, because it is special to them. They know there are more races in the world beside one. And they want to show that too. They want to be international, which is good.

And how do you know it isn’t meant that way?

Have you seen a natural born blonde hair Japanese guy? And one with blue eyes too?

If so, then I take everything back what I said.

Actually, some opinions deserve to be insulted. If it’s a lame opinion and the person will not alter it in the face of undeniable logic, I will mock it.

How nice! 🙁

And the relevance of this is? All this means is that they don’t look entirely asian. If anything, this works in my favor and I thank you for pointing it out.

1. I have noticed that Cloud have different CG models

2. The model no.1 one has a Japanese face: I think that if he is the final CLoud, Square will be self-centered about the protagonist, because:

3. I don’t think that the other charas has a precise Japanese look like CLoud No.1
I like all the new charas, Cid is perfect, Vincent is very good, even Tifa, fow what we saw, is not the same as Rinoa, for example.

4. I like asian charcaters, but in my opinion CLoud No.1 is more asian than Tidus; this is my point of view, I don’t like that CG model.

5. I don’t like the characterization of new Sephiroth, maybe I’m the only one, but so what?

At last, I want to explain the "Squall point" to Prak.
You told me that Barret has a very defined look.
My meaning of "undefined look" is a character not too asian, not too western, who has a not precise look of a region of this world.
Like Barret, like Squall in FF8.
For that I said that I hope that Cloud will have a more undefined look than model NO1.
I like model no.2, but I haven’ see yet a toung man of 23, but still aboy of 17. I hope that Square will improve Cloud model.

Prak, I was only explaining my meaning, maybe u are always ready to understand the "I am right, you were wrong" stance.

I think it would be better to talk about the characters more in general, instead to debate if Wutai is an asian town or why Square did a Japanese model of Cloud.
They did various models: we like more which one?
This is the point.
Cloud is Japanese, Cloud is not Japanese, these are only personal matters, for me it’s not so obvious that he’s Japanese.
But questioning again around this point is pretty usless.:(
There are more and more to say about the coming FF7AC.

I’ll restart from:
Do u like the new characterization of the charas of FF7??

We are VERY lucky that they even thought of letting some of his skin show!

Oh, and BTW, while it is extraordinarily unlikely that a Japanese person will be born with blonde hair and blue eyes, it has happened. About 1 in 500 million (or some extremely high number like that) are born with blonde hair and blue eyes.

But, do u like it the new charas or not?

I like them all, but:

1. Cloud no.1 (he seems tto much like a Japanese cosplayer)
2. Sephiroth (good cosplay of Sephiroth… Mr. Marilyn Manson!:D )
3. And KadaJ:
He’s the usual baddy that we can see in FFIX (kuja… pretty similiar name too!! GOSH)
and in Kingdom Hearts… tha typical Silver Haired villain with baby-evil-face….
Nothing new.

At least for me.

But anyway, the characters don’t have nationalities.

Well, but something like that. If not, they wouldn’t be black, white, yellow, or whatever. How else would you call it then? 😉

(check out my blog at http://nobodyslilweasel.blogspot.com )

Everyone… I have an announcement to make. I just learned Aeris is not coming back. The screening in Venice just said that Cloud sees her in the flower field and asks for forgiveness. That’s it. Tifa+Cloud lovers. Brag all you want. Oh, And when tifa answered the phone she said," Strife delivery service." THAT’s IT!!!!!! I DON’T WANNA SEE ADVENT ANYMORE BECAUSE AERIS DOESN’T SAY ANYTHING TO CLOUD THAT MEANS SHE LOVES HIM!!!!! AND THE TIFA THING, COMFORT ME IF YOU WISH< BUT DON’T EXPECT AERISFREAK91 SEEING ADVENT!!!!

Yeah, you’re right, she only shows up physically in that one scene, but from what I understand, he hears her voice in his head throughout the movie. He’s not together with Tifa, he in fact lives in Aerith’s church. I call that the most tear-jerking and heart-wrenching dedication/mourning/love there is…

why? its quite romantic actually.

Hello, and welcome to last month.

Cloud dying? hmmm, interesting theory. I think it could work out very well if done correctly. Like, as he dies, you see that he is rejoining Aerith, which he would if that happened. So, I guess it would work out no matter what. Aerith in heaven with Cloud.. it’s so happy. HE’S CONSTANTLY SUFFERING!!!! Death would be an appropriate conclusion to his story!

But even if Cloud doesn’t come together with Aeris, he won’t come together with Tifa, either. This would be to cheap. 😉

unless the promised land is some physical place (but unlikely)

No, we wouldn’t. Because if Cloud was in love with Tifa, and if she was dead, why should we want him to come together with Aeris then?

It wouldn’t make much sense, either. 😉

Of course he needs a womnan! He’s hot!

Tifa needs a guy too.

Anyway, I wanted to talk about Marlene’s hair in AC. You notice she does it simialr to Aerith’s.

Do you think this is in memory of Aerith like how some of the other characters had pink ribbons on their arms?

Yeah, Cloud needs a woman, and Tifa needs a man. But some people talk like Cloud is the only guy, and Tifa the only one woman around. 😉

Hmm, I never noticed. But I don’t think she does that in memory of Aeris. But I am not sure. :erm:

But Cloud isn’t in love with Aeris. 🙂

Well, that’s what you think! 😉

Okay, I can’t wait to be finally able to watch a frikkin trailer once I get my comp, but now, what will you guys do once you’ve watched the movie?

i heard valentines day (2-14-05) but who the hell knows – i just want it out now

that would be WAY too predictable – and even tho im a cloudxaeris fan, i think it would be just completely cheesy if it went that way

that would be WAY too predictable – and even tho im a cloudxaeris fan, i think it would be just completely cheesy if it went that way

I agree. Then there’d be a new love triangle: Cloud, Zack, and Aerith in heaven. Aerith wouldn’t want Cloud to die just for herself. She would never think that.

at least in what i’ve read – bc i thought the same thing………

yea…..pretty much everyone is in it, i’ve barely checked anything out on this movie and i know that

In the FF7AC trailor when cloud is crossing swords with that silver haired guy, is the silver haired guy using Sephiroth’s sword (the Masmune- sorry if it is spelled wrong)

no, its 2 blades, look closesly, if you pause the video you can see it

I think its the velvet nightmare, unless they changed the name all of a sudden, i’m pretty sure one of them had a weapon called the Velvet Nightmare

As far as we know, unless something changes, it’s coming to DVD.

Hey I have only read old stuff on this what is the new stuff?
Well, you can go to several websites, such as www.adventchildren.net
There are others, but I go to that one a lot. There are pictures of Cloud, Aerith, Barret, Cid, Tifa, Yuffie, Red XIII, Sephiroth, Kadaj, Loz, Yazoo (the three silver-haired men), Danzel (a new character), Reno, Rude, Rufus (only seen thus far under a white robe in a wheelchair), Bahamut, and shadowcrawlers (the creatures who are seen attacking Cid and Red XIII). And if you look, there’s a summary of the story as seen in the Venice film festival (MANY BIG SPOILERS THERE). Have fun.

I have one question, though.

How many trailers are out?

I wanna download all of them. I’m gonna search for them all right now, but I don’t want to miss out on any.

Anyone who knows of a good website that has all or any trailers should post it. ^_^ If no one does, I’ll post whatever I find. (Seems like everyone’s already seen the trailers anyways…)

EDIT: Wow, I’m a dumbass. It looks like all the trailers are on the main goddamn website (http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/media/movies.htm)… -_- (At least it didn’t take long to find. That’s what I was afraid of.)

EDIT: Okay, I just watched the E3 DVD quality trailer for this movie and all I have to say is you morons that are bashing Square-Enix and thier descisions on character design should be shot dead, never allowed to touch anything related to Final Fantasy because that was beautiful!!! How the fuck are you gonna complain about anything in this fuckin’ movie!?!? >=( Shame shame…

There is a subbed one floating around…..where did I get it?

try metacrawler.com or if you have WinMX, try that

P.S., you did misspell that – it’s written n"eccessary". No offence. ^_^

P.S., you did misspell that – it’s written n"eccessary". No offence. ^_^

Wait, either you agree or dissagree with Master Nabeshin.

…Well, I agree with you, Master Nabeshin…

…but in my opinion, her death was neccessary…
???

P.S. Actually, it’s ‘necessary’. =p

100th post YAAAAAY!!!!! even though it was on this subject…

P.s I dont think killing him would work, im not sure why it’s just one of those ‘gut feelings’ Like when Neo dies in the Matrix re-hashed (oops i mean the Matrix revolutions) it was just limp really, an ‘easy’ way out

Just thought id try and help clear up the whole Tifa / Aeris / Cloud thing

Gandalf is pretty much right at the start of the game there is little to suggest Cloud loves Tifa however during the scene where Cloud has to piece his life together ( in the Lifestream) he says that he hated his weakness and that perhaps if he could be strong like Sephiroth then perhaps Tifa would notice him.

As for Aeris, it is true that she gets him to open up more (initialy) then any other character, and it is for Aeris that Cloud decides to break into Shinra HQ, however considering Clouds resembalance to Zack he may be the rebound from Aeris’s position.

This debate could go on for a while theres plenty of in game evidence to support both sides of the argument ( like at the end Cloud states i think I can meet her there, and tifa replies yeah lets go meet her)

As for the colour of Clouds Uniform it looks purple in game, but i think thats just cos the messed up the RGB values abit ( if you look at the FMVs Clouds Uniform is Dark Blue, not purple).

Personally on the Tifa/Aeris thing, if I were Cloud i would have gone for Tifa anyday *drool*

Oh and Tifa Martial Artist, (pardon my language but) BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS!!!!!(i know it’s from futurama and no i dont have a shiny metal Ass TMA.

sry Moderators if too harsh but that’s the only time i’ll do that, I wanted to get my feelings out. Once again, sry if too harsh moderators.

ThankYou =)

sry if too harsh Tma, Just got angry. You can post your opinion too and i’m fine with That. I said that because you are usually mean to me.

EDIT: Mean to you..when? O.O

Who gives a fuck about Aeris and Cloud. That’s not what the movit is about anyways. If you want Aeris and Cloud to be back together so bad, go read a fan fic about it. I’m sure there’s millions.

the Problem I had with it was how close some of the Characters were to the FF7 and 8 cast ( in appearance).

Also there were scenes that looked to have come straight from FF7 ( the Meteor cave at the end and the pool (or was it a river) of Lifestream.

but dont get me wrong, i didn’t hate the film,( i quite enjoyed it and want to buy it when i can get the money) it just felt like it was missing something.

ANYONE!

whats a ff family?

ANYONE!

Well CloudxTifa are denying their feelings for eactother…aww!!

Man, I’d give anything to watch AC now… come on, time, hurry up!!

Well I heard that Denzel is actually Tifa and Cloud’s long lost son. 🙂

I’m sure it will ^_^

wtf did you say

Well I heard that Denzel is actually Tifa and Cloud’s long lost son. 🙂

Tifa and Cloud have a son…? Yeah… Go Cloud!!!

hey what’s the deal with aeris being there I hear it was a reincarnat

I heard that Aeris is just a flashback, she’s not really in the movie.

Well I heard that Denzel is actually Tifa and Cloud’s long lost son. 🙂

err..which one is Denzel? because if he’s the one I’m thinking of his way to old to be Cloud and Tifa’s son. ( he looks about sixteen, which would make Tifa seven when she conceived him, if he’s the one I’m thinking of )

I don’t think Cloud would die. Honestly, if the theme is "survival", then how much sense would that make? None at all. They had Aerith die in FF7 because the theme was life, and she symbolised that life. So to have Cloud die, just for the Cloriths sick needs, would be cheesy and cliche’. He has to have a reasen to die, not like, "Omfg I wanna see them together in heaven!1111"

I don’t think only Ancients can go there. Cloud was able to go to the lifestream….why not reaching the Promised Land. Nobody really knows if this one exists anyway.

I think, the Promised Land is like heaven to us. If you believe in it, you’ll get there. 😉

Cloud is not an Ancient, but he’s not a regular guy, either. So, I think he will find a way. 🙂

BTW, TifaMA, where did you the Cloud/Tifa pics? I want…please….(PM me)

so Febuary, is that Japan, or US?

Do we even know?!

I think the scenes with Aeris in are just flashback/vision jobs, not a reincarnation…

Should Cloud start dating Tifa?

I for one hope they get together.

(Feb..hehehehe, to buy the DVD is a great undertaking)

I can’t wait for the DVD 😀

He’s probably asexual with his relationships.

Is that a gunblade in his sheath?

umm, what else would it fire? M&M’s? o.O

this is gonna be sweet!!

Also, heard at another FFAC board I’m at

delay again in Japan, working on spring/summer 2005

Rufus’ name was inthe credits in Montreal, but his face wasn’t on screen…….

no it wasn’t the shinra mansion that blew up.. was it …wait idk… wow.. i confused myself.. don’t listen to me

Well really its only assumed that he died ( a fair assumption considering) maybe he did survive, but was rendered unconcious ( thats why Heideggar, couldn’t contact him)

Unfortunately this is mere speculation, and only when the film is released will the answer trully be revealed

well anyway, heres the link to the theorys

http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/theories/

I read it somewhere. Kadaj, and his buddies, were disrespectful, even taunting the guy.

well, it could be true, but do they even reveal who that guy is in the movie? i mean, we all saw Rufus get blasted……not everyone if u havn’t played the game

Yeah but a lot of people survived fatal events, Cloud’s fall, Tifa survives Sephiroths attack, Cloud survives Sephiroths attack, Dyne survives a fall, etc etc… I expect Square will find a way to bring him back…. It is Fantasy after all

I really hope you’re kidding.
As far as has been revealed so far, the origin of kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo is a mystery (unless I forgot something), but it is known that Rufus wants to hire Cloud to take them out, and that Rufus was not mauled, but in fact is in an advanced stage of geostigma, although the attack from Diamond weapon probably helped. Cloud and Tifa run a dilivery business, Barret went to Corel to find an alternate energy source. And the Silver Haired men want to reunited Jenova in the hopes that it will rid the world of geostigma. Though from a few screenshots (and a big story spoiler from the Venice film festival) this appears to resurrect Sephiroth instead, which is awesome.

so your saying they wanna bring back jenova to destroy geostigma. that would help the world making their intentions good. that doesn’t seem to add up

I heard Tifa had an orphanage, and that Cloud had Geostigma too, only it’s early and he’s hiding it from everyone.

Coming out Feb 15, 2005.

Now please tell me how they tell about all that stuff in one hour? If its even true at all..I mean come on thats going to suck. It should be atleast about as long as the Cowboy Bebop movie. I know Square sometimes likes to say things that are meant to squew with us..but Is this true? Does anybody know anything more?

Next question…

Does Vincent get his own fighting scene in the movie…because i noticed in one of the trailers a while back..that he is flying down from the top of a tree, about ready to beat the shit outta someone..got me curious..but you never know.

It’ll probably be more than and hour.

Btw..I am pretty sure the guy in the real chair is Rufus, mainly for the fact that in the newest trailer, Rude is standing behind him..

I wish they had a bigger team working on AC, but that would just be too easy.

www.square-enix.co.jp/dvd/ff7ac/
go there

Sheesh. What’s with all the hate that movie gets? Maybe it isn’t very Final Fantasy-ish, but it was a pretty good film on its own merits.

I loved it.

And yes, that trailer does indeed kick ass. Tifa’s voice is great, Aeris sounds like a little girl, Cloud’s is sexy, it’s all good.

now, for all of us who speak little or no Japanese

does anyone have a clue as to what they’re saying?

WWHHHOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
<P>What happened to my post? =-O None of my pics are showin up? >:O Well thats a bummer!?!?!? Ahh well…. forget about that last post then if it’s not showin up right for you either. By the way… let me know if my signiture is showing up right cuz it loks skrewed up to me.

By the way… let me know if my signiture is working now… I think I fixed it.
And as far as my prior links are concerned… well just click here (http://aponboemere.tripod.com/my_pics.html) and check out the page itself.

If Reno dies, I’ll cry lots too, cause he’s the only Turk (Vincent excluded) that I really like.

(P.S.: just so you know I’m only teasin, don’t take it personal. I already had my head bitten off earlier today for teasing)

I loaded the new AC trailer, but I don’t have the right codec, can anyone help me out?

Don’t forget Tifa has lost almost as much as Cloud has (she lived in Nibelheim as well) so I don’t think it would be fair on her if he died…..

Oh I think th silver-haired guy is Kadaj not Seph, I think Seph only appears in flashbacks 🙁

As for the wheelchair guy – It’s Rufus. Who else has blonde hair and dresses like that? (got a small 2-second clip where I saw the edge of his hair, ha! blone!)

Oh and by the way, seph is most likely just in flash backs, the three guys you see are Kadaj, Loz, & Yazoo (although you don’t see much of Yazoo in the trailers). Kadaj is the seph clone that’s preaching to the kids. Loz is the one that has the short high-n-tight haircut (seen on the bike attacking Cloud). Yazoo, well Yazoo has the same hair-style as Kadaj with a slightly wierder yet more conservative air about him . As for seph himself, well that remains to be seen. These are all conjectures made from the trailers so if I’m wrong don’t bite my head off. (some people are so B**CHY lately).

How do u know the wheelchair guy is rufus?

For dloading the trailers, seriously, try Bit Torrent:

load the Torrent – http://bittorrent.com/
download using the anime torrent site, just search for Final Fantasy – http://www.downloadanime.org/

both trailers are there, I’ve seen them.

Tifa will get pregnant with Loz’s babies and so on ect…

But, do u like it the new charas or not?

I like them all, but:

1. Cloud no.1 (he seems tto much like a Japanese cosplayer)
2. Sephiroth (good cosplay of Sephiroth… Mr. Marilyn Manson!:D )
3. And KadaJ:
He’s the usual baddy that we can see in FFIX (kuja… pretty similiar name too!! GOSH)
and in Kingdom Hearts… tha typical Silver Haired villain with baby-evil-face….
Nothing new.

At least for me.

Speaking of kadaj and Kuja… i think theyre both hot!
But i wasn’t too keen on Sephiroth, but i can probably learn to love him too!

P.S. (who are "they"?)

Oh, hey Cloud Strife26, where did you get that pretty picture of cloud in your avatar? I’ve been collecting all the cloud screenshots i could find, *cough*obsession*cough* and i don’t think i’ve seen that one…
I need to add it to my…collection…

I like it, but yah, killing off most of the cast turns a lot of people off.

Yes. I totally agree with you. I saw many people say that FFVII is a stupid game although they didn’t know what FFVII is at all. I just hope AC will not be the same as the game and that everyone can understand it and say it’s a great movie instead of criticising something they don’t understand.

Aww, who needs um… The little #@%^&!!….

btw i dont care if ive got school or work or what ever… im seeing that movie the day it comes out. iv been waitin 4 ever. and how the hell did u see it already unless it was the japanese version?

also, i thought ff:spirits was an ok movie, i thought they stole a lot of ideas from ff7 to begin w/. like the gia, did any1 else get reminded of holy from ff7?
and the whole idea of a giant meteor? and the giant cannon? i saw a lot of similarities. Im just ramblin and statin my mind O:] .

Hey does anyone know the date of the European release?

but what are they saying?! I don’t understand a work of japanese.

also… as far as the DL goes… the translation was probably exact which makes the grammar really bad cuz jap 2 eng is hard to translate accurately. that’s prob y it was confusing.

also… bubbamare… the whole theory of the wheelchair dude bein rufus has been floatin around for a while… sry to tell you but your a little late on that one… as for sephiroth… well he’s like aeris (only in the memories), anything else as far as that goes is like aeris too (wishful thinking).

and just kinda a random statement but tifa is doin some major ass kickin against Loz (short haired sephiroth clone). and i had a lotta P.S.’s today didn’t I?

Some wise words for today. Never critiacie people until you have walked in their shoes
then you have walked 3 miles and have their shoes.

Never fight with a stupid person they’ll bring you down to their level and beat you with expiriacne

….these images appear to be Sephiroth himself…does that mean he’s back in the movie? Anyone have any info?

And for the skeptics, I swear by my stuffed panda that I didn’t do these..heh…I can’t do CG animation for crap.

So…what do you think?

^_^ ;;

oooo….where did you find the pics of Sephy-chan!

These are the Japanese voice actors. Check em’ out. Some did known video game voices.

2 things… first… there are 3 main sephiroth clones in the movie and w/ the way those pics are blurred it could be them. Second… I know for a fact that he shows up in memories… otherwise… idk.

Looks like Sephy to me.

And…since they have a seiyuu set up for Sephiroth…would that not imply that he shall be making an appearance in the movie?

And by the way…is there anywhere to get that Venice Film Festival Trailer? (Why’d they show it in Italy of all places??)

and no, on topic:

I e-mailed the crew at AC.net to check on the release date. Dunno if I’ll get an answer, but it was worth a shot. The square site was updated just this week, but I can’t read Japanese….

btw: off topic for a second… what do you guys think of my new av and sig? they’re screenshots of my actual character in ffxi. And those are the actual in game graphics, though because they’re screenshots they are ever so slightly pixelated. I love that game. Just wanted to say.

P.S.: Please excuse my sanity… it’s a bit lacking. :laugh:

Square-Enix is no doubt using a corporate strategy. It’s so evil. Even though you realize it, it doesn’t matter because they’ve already got you hooked. We can only hope that they’re delaying the movie to refine it into something more enjoyable, as was the case with all the delays of Halo 2’s release (although that is open to some deliberation, but not on this site). I suppose the delays of FFXII might be a better comparison, though the end result has yet to be seen. Oh well, in any case, I wouldn’t be too suprised if we saw yet another delay while new information continued to slow. That’s another thing I’ve noticed. Lately, new info on the movie has been slowing to a crawl. I suppose there really isn’t too much that can be revealed without spoiling it, but still, some screens of Seph or anyone would be nice.

I’ve got a Cloud poster now! Yaaah! And i mustve printed out at least 100 screenshots.

You like Cloud, dontcha?

…*sigh*…it’s marketing, isn’t it? Perhaps it would have been better if they did not notify us of this movie until…say…today.

(could ne1 else feel the sarcasm just dripping off of that comment?)

PS: JUST JOKING 😀 😀 😀 😀

If AC doesn’t come out, I am e-mailing and calling my former exchange students and getting them to mail it to me……I don’t care if I don’t understand it!

As for mailing it 😛 Unless you live in Western Washington in the US…..(might not ask, it’s expensive to mail stuff from over there)

"They actually are canceling it. I read today that Square doesn’t think they will have enough sales outside of Japan to make it worthwhile."

AHHHH!!! Are you serious?! I was only joking omfg!!!

…gods ur making me hysterical!!! O_o ;;

>.< that was not the wisest of actions on a thread DEVOTED to FFVII:AC!!!

Scroll down a bit. It should be the first article.

Yahhh!!! i almost had a heart attack, which is bad, but good because i wouldn’t have had to take my calculus test. Yes it shall cometh!!!
Cloud, my love, come to me!!!!!

*ahem* now that I’ve had my mature moment…..

It has to come out in the states!!! We never have any really good movies that often, I must see it!! (besides, I’m too broke to fly to Japan and see it) There are only three movies I want to see this year, and AC is the first.

*looks at the I’m joking, and reads the article*
Somehow, I think it’s comming. I live on the West Coast of the US (Washington State), so it should be here early, cause we get all sorts of Anime stuff in Seattle.

nice to read that there are kababayan in this forum… i tought i was alone…

well, just like rikku said.. maybe if we ignore them, they will go away. people like them had nothing to do with there lives…

ahh, off the topic… may I ask. what are avatars? it is new in my vocabulary..

i think chorns and those other guys like him just look for something to attack at and spark a ranting argument about.
No we don’t. We aren’t complete assholes.

onto the subject at hand –

There has to be some way to get it here in the states. A patition (sp?) or something to send to Square….

Go for it when you make your move tell me so I can come there some stuff I have against them too. But don’t get me wrong I like the games they make.

Here is my question. I read on gamespot.com , that FF7:AC is for the PSP as a UMD? What the hell is PSP and UMD?

Do they make those? =)

Oh and what’s going on? I’ve only been gone for like 3 days and there are a million posts. I mean is the movie-canceling thing a hoax? Does anyone really know what’s going on? I would check the official website but i have dial-up and it won’t load.

P.S., i am half Phillipino, even though i havent lived there since i was 4.

I’ve said that before, haven’t I? *uhg*

i herd its Rufus

I bet it’s Hojo!

I heard the graphic for the movie were done. Is there any way to find out if that is true?

I heard the graphic for the movie were done. Is there any way to find out if that is true?
Yes. Check www.adventchildren.net. They have everything on AC

P.S. I feel great this morning. I have this lovely little Cloud poster and its the first thing i see every morning and i feel great. Plus i had a great dream about him too. Of course it won’t be long before the other people i come into contact with throughout the day piss me off!

Oh well, back to topic, We’ll just see if it comes out in Feb.

Huh?

(Must take more japanese classes…)

Also, what did you mean by "the reason it took so long is because they had to scrap a lot of it because the technology they were using was using a more advance screening procces"?
1) What screening process? What the hell are you talking about? Could you be refering to the rendering process?
2) Scrap what? The footage? Why? They might scrap the computers and rendering farms (what they call the massive line of computers that renders the millions of polygons, effects, and pixels on textures in each frame of the movie), and use new, high-powered computers running on more efficient software and faster hardware. Is that what you mean?

Japanese is an easy language. The hardest part is the kanji, and even that’s not so bad. If you can remeber stuff like materia, Pokemon, what moves you have for each characters and so forth, memorizing the stroke orders for even complex kanji shouldn’t be too hard. ‘course..I’m only using hiragana on my sig. Oh well.

WCM: We???re starting an investigation of the effects Sepiroth left.
MARLENE: Is Cloud sick?
TIFA: He doesn???t plan to fight at all.
KADAJ/VINCENT (overlap):
(K): Geostigma??? It???s thanks to Mom???s genes (fighting) in the lifestream???
(V): Geostigma seems like the result of a system created that works to eliminate foreign substances within the body.
TIFA: I understand. Even if we find the children, we might not be able to do anything??? We might not even be able to get them back. That???s what you???re afraid of, right?
ZACK: When we get to Midgar, what will you do? ???Friends??? Cloud, run!!
CLOUD: But, I let her die.
KADAJ: Unfortunately, he???s a traitor.
TIFA: Run!
DENZEL: !!

WCM: I???m begging you. Former ???Soldier??? Cloud.
CLOUD: I want to be forgiven.
BARETT: Marlene???s all right, right?
MARLENE: Why don???t you listen to us?
RUFUS: Don???t you want to see them smile again?
KADAJ: Let???s go to Mom???s place together.
VINCENT: This is about a fight.
TIFA: Have we lost to a memory?

LOZ: Where???s Mom?
YAZOO: Brother???s hiding her, isn???t he?
KADAJ: We need Mom???s power for the Reunion??? no matter what.
VINCENT: If they want to, they could make another Sepiroth.
?CLOUD: Within my memories, keep telling me!!**
KADAJ: The planet is interfering with us. It???s trying to stop our growth.
KADAJ: Let???s join forces as a family and repay the planet!
AERITH: You came. Even though you feel like you???ll break, right?

?RUDE: They???ve concentrated the technology of Shinra.
?WCM: Reno, do it.
?RENO: Alrighty.
?ELENA: Senpai, hurry!
KADAJ: Mom!!
KADAJ: Waah!!
AERITH: Let???s go??? Cloud.
SEPIROTH: I won???t be just a memory.

By the way, I really cannot wait for this film!!!

it makes the time that much more bearable (sp?!)

ahhh…… too much anticipation…… i cant help it!!!!! I WANNA SEE THE MOVIE!

ahhh…… too much anticipation…… i cant help it!!!!! I WANNA SEE THE MOVIE!

Not sure probably sooner do you think they’ll just do English dubbed over the Japanese voice. Cause then it won’t look to good like in X. Also thankx for the translation Einafit one of these days I’m gonna have to learn Japanese.

I don’t care if it had subtitles, id buy it anyway!

P.S. I read the translation earlier in this thread, creepy that Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz keep calling Jenova "Mom" Is she still a head? Eeewww…

Kadaj: Oh mom i love you! *nasty slimy head smiles back*

Hey I have only read old stuff on this what is the new stuff?
Well, you can go to several websites, such as www.adventchildren.net
There are others, but I go to that one a lot. There are pictures of Cloud, Aerith, Barret, Cid, Tifa, Yuffie, Red XIII, Sephiroth, Kadaj, Loz, Yazoo (the three silver-haired men), Danzel (a new character), Reno, Rude, Rufus (only seen thus far under a white robe in a wheelchair), Bahamut, and shadowcrawlers (the creatures who are seen attacking Cid and Red XIII). And if you look, there’s a summary of the story as seen in the Venice film festival (MANY BIG SPOILERS THERE). Have fun.

what? that’s rufus? whoa. anyway i just watched the trailer. maybe kadaj, loz, and yazoo are his bitches (excuse my french)? kadaj kneeled down and kissed his hand.

P.S. I read the translation earlier in this thread, creepy that Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz keep calling Jenova "Mom" Is she still a head? Eeewww…

Kadaj: Oh mom i love you! *nasty slimy head smiles back*

They do keep calling jenova’s head "okaasan", or mom, but it is in the same respect that Sephiroth called Jenova his mother. I suspect that Sephiroth used jenova’s head as a vessel somehow, then regenerated (as you can see he returns in the new trailer) after manipulating the three into doing some dastardly deed.

I’m in Spanish class, and im having difficulties. Japanese has got to be way harder.

So many people think that Japanese is soooo hard, but beleive me, it isn’t. The toughest part is the Kanji (which there are about 40,000 of), but even many japanese people barely know enough kanji to read a newspaper, which is around 2,000, and there are a lot of really simple ones. The katakana, hiragana, and sentence structure are really not dificult. Now, Chinese is hard, but I’m not even going there.
Anyway. Japanese is not very hard. It only takes as much memorization as any other language, like Spanish, but after speaking it for a while, you’ll begin to flip between languages.

P.S. I read the translation earlier in this thread, creepy that Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz keep calling Jenova "Mom" Is she still a head? Eeewww…

Kadaj: Oh mom i love you! *nasty slimy head smiles back*

Probably cause if they were going to make the English words make the mouths it would take a lot longer to come out after the Japanese release. Yeah they call Jenova mom like Sephiroth use to. Sephiroth and them are suppose to be brothers.

I watched one of the trailers and i think Cloud’s japanese voice is sexy!
If they do an English one it better be sexy too!
Kadaj is also sexy

The Japanese voices are perfect! hehehe

anyway if that would happend… i would rather watch it with subtitles.. at least, the characters have there original voice.

Rather than that, a good dub is reliant on skilled voice actors and writers who can match the lip movements of the characters with new words.

That…is a very sore subject. He was the exception. The fact that they let him voice Sephiroth still enrages me to this day. Still, he is the coolest boss if you turn off the volume.

And while I don’t have any experience with CG animation, you obviously don’t know about how dubs are made. I have never heard of an instance where the animation was changed to achieve perfect sync. It just isn’t done.

Rather than that, a good dub is reliant on skilled voice actors and writers who can match the lip movements of the characters with new words.

Oh, but I do know all too well how dubs are made. I watch too much goddamn anime not to at some point have researched the entire process to figure out why some dubs rock and some suck (which, as it turns out was how I suspected; skill of actors and writers, as you say). However, to say that dubs for a CG movie have never been changed for a different language is foolish. It is indeed rare (only a few big-budget movies have done it), but it has been done.

Also, note that my whole argument was based on the assumption that they were changing the lip syncs for the movie, as I clearly stated.

Name one example of it. Seriously, do that (and provide corroborating evidence) and I’ll shut up.

I agree with Prak on this one we want some evidence.

nah..the things that pissed me off with KH, voice-wise was that a, they didn’t get the DISNEY characters voices right, and not ONCE did we hear Sora say ‘I see dead people’ in that god-awful whispered voice!!

As for a release date… to quote Eddie Izzard;

"It’ll be out Monday…Thursday…Next Week…March sometime…Summer… When we’re fucking ready, all right?!?!"

You can barely hear him anyway.

btw… i didn’t pay much attention to the dubs in KH. I just kept going hoping I’d get to meet Mickey. (sry I have a one track mind). And then my 3 day rental ran up and I had to take the game back and only made it to the battle just after Maleficent. All and all it was a decent game but too easy to figure out (gameplay-wise; the story was a bit wierd).

ok enough of that topic… who’s up for sushi?

You missed our point. He says it has been done and I disagreed. You merely stated what would be involved in the process. If you know anything about that issue, then feel free to chime in. Otherwise, stop acting like you own the damn thread and let us discuss it.

She looked at the site for me. There was no American date there, but there was a Japanese relase date (which I forgot to get, please don’t hurt me). She’s a High School teacher, so she’s going to ask her students if they’ve heard anything about the American date as yet. (I love my exchange students, they’re so nice to me and my geekyness)

Sorry, that’s all I could get. I hope it helps us all.

French, ha ha ha!

ok now… back on topic… does any1 here know any1 that works w/ or is affiliated w/ square?

Oh on topic ummm I agree with Aztroth

am looking at some screen shot for AC. I’ve notice 1 shot were cloud is riding his bike, and on his right arm, he is holding his buster sword….?? how did he do that? motorbikes are right handed (gas on the right side handle.)……. I don’t know if the states have motorbikes that is left handed…. guess CG movies have some error too?

on topic, you got a point w/ the motorcycle… but remember, it is a video game, (or atleast based on one), and things can be modified…

whew that felt good. i had herd that b4 but needed confirmation, even though i just missed the bes parade of Mardi Gras, its still a good day

i new life couldnt be that good, dam we were so close…Hey! you got my hopes up 4 nothin BizarroSephiroth! Come out and face me!!!

Would love to see that, Kemtach, hopefully it will get online soon. But thats like a 1/5 of the film!

Comon kem, don’t leave us hangin, where is this trailer?

Bet he’s making it up.

you know, I was gonna make an AC MV, but the avis I have are the wrong codec for it. Does anyone know how to change that, or find an american codec version of the AC trailers?

Obsessed? Me? im not obsessed…
*squeezes self-made Cloud plushie*

Obsessed, me? no, not yet, I have one other movie besides AC to drool over that will be out soon (Star Wars) and with the Harry Potter craze I know will be this summer with the new book and movie, I’ll be all right.

But after that, if AC isn’t out….I….will….go….BONKERS!!!!!!!!

Zack is a flash back and so is Sephiroth.
Aries is in cloud dream wer he asks for her forgiveness.
Man in wheel chair is possibly Rufus!!
Cloud fights 3 silver haired guys but gets beat up and vincent helps him escape.
Fiend is awakened. Red 13, yuffie, cid, tifa, and barret (with robot hand which turns into gun) all fight bahmut.
Tifa fights 1 of the silver haired guys.

You mean in a physical store? Like where they sell things that you can touch? Heh i hope you live in a big city… i live in a little town with nothing in it… 🙁

Cologne? I wonder what cloud smells like. I bet he smells pretty 😀

*Cloud slowly backs away from girl trying to sniff him, planning his best route of escape from the nutcase*

you could always get it on line. the internet is such a wonderful tool

Kodaj

Obsessed? its not like spending every second of your free time checking forums and looking at pictures of cloud is obsessive…

I had a dream about Cloud last night…
He was standing in front of some gold-colored gates…
I asked for ac and he said, "Go back, it is not yet time…"

and then i woke up and decided not to eat so much sugar right before bed.

^^ I hope March 14 is right, I really want it!

I like cloud???s hair, he has pretty damn sexy hair XD It just looks many times cooler in a realistic style

he,he,he…. just checking out my nice sig…..

Btw does anyone know where i might be able to download the Japanese Version with subs? i honestly couldent care less if i had to read, if not then ill wait till the 14th… And Yazoo, Kadaj, and Cloud have the coolest hair btw.. on a side note.. Who else cant wait for 1 Cloud fighting Bahamut and 2 Cloud fighting Sephiroth.. Cause the orginal fight with seph was basicly, Slash… wait… get hit… Slash.. And again..

Kodaj

I just checked Gamespot.com and the Release date for Advent children went from March 14th to the worst date imagenable TBA… Who else is pissed by this?!?!?, I dunno about you guys but im seriously pissed off!!

Kodaj

"I just checked Gamespot.com and the release date for Advent Children went from March 14th to the worst date imagenable.. TBA, is anyone else pissed off by this cause i dunno about you guys but im really Pissed off!"

Like i said my explorer weired out on me so if it did post sorry for the repost

Kodaj

Sure? It could be somemore horrible false info. Don’t get my hopes up for nothing… However, if your right then, "praise you!"

Check that out.

click for enlarged version

This is so Rufus

This is definately Bahamut (or some dragon related to it)

And Cloud, here, is probably using a limit break or a special move (I know this by the aura around him)

And Zack, for a reason not known by us yet, is in this movie

4 pics. Ponder away at them.

already got it… try somethin else… do you have the weapon (fiend) pics? those are kinda neat…
Yeah, right here, check it out, Aztroth

You’ve seen those already too? Do you have any new images I probably haven’t seen yet? If you do, please let me see them. I need the latest in AC so the guys on my forum can see the newest AC stuff.

I figured that these might interest a variety of different ppl…

^^ I have tons, but I can’t host many more pics at my Photobucket, and they are ones everyone all ready has.

Kodaj

and these pics are neat, although clouds buster sword looks different in every pic

Kadaj

Speak of which, when is the release date of this movie. It’s been pushed back so many damn times.

that’s a prime example of Absolute Stupidity!

Sounds like Tifa’s giving Cloud a talking-to, as far as I can tell from tone of voice anyhow, and then there’s Cid, Red XIII, Cloud and Barret (looking suspiciously like he’s re-attatched his gun arm) fighting a load of monsters in a town.
*wants a release date*

Azrtoh have u seen the movie yet?

Are there any pics of Sephiroth besides the ones in the fire?

That’s what I suspected, certainly, but I’m not sure…it DOES look like Bahamut certainly, but you only really see it’s head in the trailer.

Dont know, the summon probably appears for a reason, probably an awakening or something. But it does look like bahmut though and it fly.

There is another pic of sephiroth out of the flames, its near the end of the 4th trailer. u can see him but only quikly. so look hard ok

and as for the fiend, don’t you remember that ultima weapon flew? and that the whole reason the weapons were around was because of seph… it all fits…

Well, its interesting… All those fight scenes with the weird aural energy stuff, its gonna be interesting. Plus i havent seen any of those pics before, im slacking off on my official obsessive duties. :notgood:

*possible spoilers*
also some people on this sight think that the man in the white coat is rufus…i dont i think it might be tseng cus seph stabbed him temple of the acients but thats me for you and plus tseng is rudes boss and you see rude standing next to him but there my thoughts on it

About the pink ribbon, in the game,there is equipment called ribbon. This equipment can protect you from all kind of ailment and it can max out all of your status. I think that this ribbon is the one that they are wearing cause, if my memory is correct, the game did not mentioned any color…. What do you think?

More pics!? I think Reno has the coolest hair…

More pics!? I think Reno has the coolest hair…

Ye Reno duz have the coolest hair!!!

*possible spoiler*
Anywayz the red ribbon i think is something to do with the disease that spreading around called something like geogestima or something like it. If you have the red ribbon then i think u have not got the disease but if its white then you have. For example Cloud has the white ribbon so he does have the disease but Tifa has the red one so she does not have it.

Hey so i do kind of know my stuff. I aint a ff fan for no reason u know. (smiles with delight)
Anywayz com on pls share secret !?!?

And I know this is half OT, but Aztroth, I’m hosting the banners you made for my myself, so you can delete them if you want.

o so thats the mystery of the ribbons? and that may be true because from wut i read at AC.net, Cloud does hav the disease and is living by himself in… THE CHURCH?!

I know! I saw him too!

… this pic is an acctual screen capture from the showing at a film festival… look at the caption at the bottom… tell me your thoughts on whats goin on…

I agree, wheelchair man looks like Rufus

WHO THE HELL OPENED THIS CAN OF WORMS AGAIN!?!?!?

I think Sephiroth remained in Cloud’s memory and then he busted out in the movie or something. I dunno im just guessing.

Well being that I am new here I don’t wanna stick my nose into this too far but I agree that the man in the wheelchair is not Sephiroth… it must be Rufus…

Then again, my instincts tell me it could be Aeris… I dunno why call it a wild imagination but its a bony wrinkled hand…. hmmmm could be male OR female….

But Rufus is my first choice =)

Anyway…. I found a couple cool trailers… I downloaded them onto my computer so just as soon as I figure out how to post them I will =) One is an English trailer and one is Japanese, but the japanese one is longer and there’s more action in it =)

Ok well good to meet you all and I hope to get to know you better in the time to come!

– Ducky

anyways, Your guys time is up… Im goin to finish transfering my pics, and then Im deleteing em… you might wanna get em in like the next 30 min if you stil want them…

of course this is possible since throughout FFVII, Sephiroth mentally projected himself many places while his body was still encased in that Mako/Lifestream stuff.

*ahem* sorry, I think I’m mutating into a Sephiroth fangirl…..eep

Kodaj

P.S.: My research has reavealed the movie’s plot to me, and Im not going to tell you guys because it has kinda ruined my anticipation of the movie, and I don’t want to inflict this upon you guys…

Such poetic words

Anywayz i got a feeling that we are not right about the man in the wheel chair Azroth. If its not Rufus then it might be something else to do wid shinra then, maybe shinra himself.

i agree…and i still dont think that the wheelchair man is rufus i think its tseng but thats me for you…i dont care how many trailers and much info ive found on this movie im stil buying it…which brings me to another question…does anyone know wheather its been reliesed straight to dvd or to the cinema?

sorry to say it’s not Tseng bacause u know that whoever is killed by Sephiroth’s sword can’t be revived and if your thinking "but Cloud was cut Sephiroth’s sword and he’s back to life!!" well fact is Cloud never died for sephy’s sword

It is comin out for UMD and HOPEFULLY OMFG IF THEY DONT BRING it out ON DVD ima kill them.

where did you hear this information which makes Sephiroth so much more…intriguing?

Tseng was stabbed, but he was carried out of the temple. Aeris was impaled and she was seen dead. Tseng, just like Tifa, had to heal on his own. Magic couldn’t help him, so there was no point in involving him in the story anymore. But the stab struck a vital organ, and he was partially paralized. If you remember, Tifa couldn’t walk for the longest time, and it was thought she would never walk again. This is all a theory I just made up, so if you can discredit it, please do.

P.S.
does anyone knows what happened to Elena??

Think about all the other games you could play on the PSP once you got it, though (Ridge Racers, Wipeout Pure, Need for Speed Underground Rivals, Hot Shots Golf, Spiderman 2, ect.). You aren’t thinking that people are just going to buy the PSP for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, are you?

ah my old synical, pessimistic, slightly less evil than me, friend Prak again. nice to see you. and i say its 5 times faster cuz im jus gessin, i no its somethin like dat.

Kadaj still kicks ass tho!!

Sexiest scene EVER! Look at what Seph is dragging with him… LOL

just kidding.. http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=adventchildren_

Edit: I found it again on this site, this must be the official artist of it… http://f58.aaa.livedoor.jp/~garakuta/frame.html

I don’t even have a PS2 yet!! What makes them think I can buy a PSP T_T

love to, but I’ve heard numerous places that it won’t be on DVD, only PSP

Its been awhile since i played ff7 too, but i played it 4 or 5 times, you’d think id know by now. Well, here it goes…

Tseng gets stabbed (we assume by Sephiroth, it might have even been shown in a flashback, cant remember) in teh temple of the Ancients when we are all looking for the black materia. We assume hes dead cause hes all slumped over and he doesnt move. I’m pretty sure we dont hear from him again later in the game, but he technically could still be alive… After all, there’s people still convinced that Kuja lived through the ending of FF9 :eye:

well thats ait sad isnt it? havent u got bateer things to do?

No I got to much time on my hands. =)

ok, not lik me though got ive got to much college work to do

Hope I helped.

If you need more info, feel free to PM me.

As you can see in the back ground the Hilt is firmly attached to the Sword so what kadaj really did was basicly knock the sword out of clouds hands, if you want to watch it yourself just watch their fight scene more carefully… So yea in closing… Release date is TBA, and Clouds sword isnt cut in half by kadaj…. yea… >.>

Kodaj

VERDI VERDI VERDI AUS DELHAMORI VASI AUS! SEPHIROTH!

Kodaj

DAMN!!!!…………………….. If that is true then it is bad… whats going on square!?!

…don’t let him die indeedy!!!! =)

And I’m planning a military assault on Square, if they don’t give us a release date by… well… yesterday actually!! *starts plotting*

count me in
*hops in military assualt vehicle a drives over*

It’s kinda overdue but Happy New Year! Nomura here =).This time
around, I have with me the co-director Nozue-san, to quickly whip this
up.So here’s some honesty to start us off. I’ve in fact once wrote a
New Year’s message. Remember that character update thingy? Yeah, that.
(ACF:A Before Crisis character update which Nomura talks about
some more later on in the article.) We’ve encountered some troubleshooting
and now we can’t launch them! =( We had to do some recalculations
and all. Anyway, with so much work to be done one after another at
the end of last year right up to the start of the this one, we ended
up being very late with our greetings. So sorry about that. ^^; CC’s
long rally didn’t end until 4 this morning, too.

January until March is a busy time for us all every year.Is this true
for you other employees out there as well? Or is it just us here at
SE?

No, wait. That’s not what I want to say.

The actual reason I’m here in a again is mainly to
relay my apologies to all you fans out there who still hold AC in
such high regard. Referring to the last annoucement where it was
mentioned that winter won’t see a release, I’m truly sorry for
having let everyone down last year. Rest assured that the postponement
isn’t due to us wanting to draw this out or any other lame reasons like
that. What we hope to achieve is to make this something that’ll worth
everybody’s while. By everybody, I mean all you fans out there in the
world. To make this happen, all the staff are currently hard at work
on this.

As for the date of release, cost (and such), and what to include as
expansion are still being decided upon, and there being no further plans
for a preview, whether or not this should be shown on the big screen
for the benefit of the moviegoers amongst you guys, is also being
considered. As much as I’m raring to tell everyone what’s going on,
I can’t. Not until final decisions have been made. This is also
to prevent further disappointing fans. Due to that, I’ll have to trouble
all of you to please hold out a while more.

Presently, we’ve started putting in music, and layout work is at its
final stages. We’ve got more scenes rendered, and the scenes that
have thus far been shown to the public have also been revised.
Why it’s actually more of a full-length CG film rather than a movie,
it’s really starting to show. I myself am very much looking forward
to the completions of this as well.
