All this talk about Final Fantasy has made me dig out my pristene non-GH version copy of FF7 out of my desk to play it again..

I did so a while ago, but lost interest trying to get Cloud all the super sexy items for the Don. So I did that today, and lost interest again at the Shin-ra building.

You all suck.

Did they ever mention his mother in the game? I don't recall if they did or not.

I know his father was a pivotal plot point, so I'd guess they're asexual.


They did mention her. She died in the battle that his father "ran" from.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

What was with the grey dog/wolf? It was everywhere, but never explained. In the beginning near Cloud's sword, in the white forest disappearing during a pan, in Cloud's whiteness when unconscious. Seemed similar to the icon on his's jacket. No idea what it meant though.

You also liked The Spirits Within.

I kind of agree, though. It was entertaining, but they spent more time on the battle scenes (which were good) than actually bothering to revisit the characters beyond throwing out their names. I would have liked to see a 2-3 hour movie, with a lot more time spent developing a story. I also wanted more Vincent, because Vincent is far cooler than any of those other fags.

And WTF is with the questions about Rufus' identity? The first time he's shown, THEY SAY HIS NAME.

It was a great sci-fi movie.

Advent Children was neither a good video game movie, nor a good sci-fi movie. It was barely a movie. Ninety minutes of bad music (wtf Nobuo?) and fight scenes without resolution do not a movie make.

You know what's ninety minutes of bad music and fight scenes without resolution? THE MATRIX RELOADED.

It's assumed you know about the other characters since it is just a continuation of FF7. Why bother with 'getting to know' the characters when you know about them already? Do you really need to know what happened for 2 years with Yuffie, Cid, Nanaki and Reeve(Cait Sith)? The only person who might have done something actually interesting is Barrett. If they did focus more on every character then most people would complain that the movie was slow and only entertaining during the fight scenes. Hell most people right now love it just for the fight scenes.

Atleast they didn't leave out the fact that Yuffie gets airsick, hence why she almost ralphs after parachuting down from Cid's ship.

But yeah, the story was slightly better than the mediocrity of FF7s story, but or almost 60 minutes, it's almost nonstop action with inserts of Reno screwing up and Rude suffering from it. Not to say the Turks weren't bad, I loved them.

I wasn't a huge fan of the story, some of the fight scenes were awesome to watch though (I really enjoyed Tifa's). And, of course, Reno/Rude.

I only played 3 for a little bit but 4 was absolute crap.

I think gaming has evolved to the point where we can't tolerate fighting stupid little monsters anymore. Fighting giant fucking dragons? Yes. Orcs? Okay. Giant lizards? That's pushing it. Giant mushrooms? No. Killer seaweed? HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE.

The problem with 4 is that it was just so long and boring and there was nothing to do except fight KILLER SEAWEED.

3 had a goddamn Nazi duck, though.

So I just watched this and I can't keep my mouth shut about things I don't like:

A cgi movie about swordfighting and gunshots with about three drops of blood in it? C'mon. Even the big decisive final blow in the end looked really impotent.

Main problem of the story: Mysterious plague: Jenova cells science Sepriroth parasites something something did it. Solution: Deus ex Aeris lifestream planet something flowers something cured it. Also Cloud the Baptist.

The Turks were cool. Rufus getting out of the chair after playing sick for half the movie could have been cool if he had actually done something besides handing Kadaj the canister and almost getting killed. Him getting up out of nowhere and shooting one of the other two clones in the head from behind would have made for a fun scene and those guys were expendable anyway.

I can't really share the enthusiasm about the fights, I found myself tuning out after they started hopping around and slashing at each other without anyone getting hit for the fifth time.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

The only thing I liked was the cell phone ringing after Tifa beat the shit out of one of those guys. Unfortunately I got a hold of the japanese movie with no sub titles so I was pretty much understanding the movie all on my own. Cloud is using god mode way to much...

In the context of the game, they were pretty damn superhuman by the time they were able to beat Sephiroth. Especially Cloud. That's how I justify it, at least.

I see RPGs (especially the FF series) as three seperate games.

There's the actual world you run around and find items in. People are fragile, cure and life magic never works, and people WILL die.

Then there's the battle world. You can do superhuman feats, jump a million miles high, summon incredibly powerful monsters for 2mp and the most severe attack is nothing when you cast a little cure (or life!) magic.

Finally there's the cinimatic world. A sort of combination of both, but staying close to the actual world. Generally used to explain how character x is doing superhuman freakass summoning jumping feats in the real world without going into the battle world, since the battle world is seperate from the actual storyline.

All times are US/Eastern
