Title: Advent Children (Full Movie Discussion)
Description: SPOILERS


Bruce Lee - September 14, 2005 11:26 AM (GMT)
Edit by Katrak: This thread is now for FULL MOVIE DISCUSSION. There WILL BE SPOILERS. You have been warned.

Just had to post this. Who's seen it? I know Rufus has, one day before me (damn you!) but i just saw it then and it is soooooooooooooooooooooo awesome. Seriously, it is much better than you think. The fight scenes and music are unbeatable.

Someone give me a torrent to it ;_;

:<3: I LOVED IT!

I watched it four times yesterday. Once at 2:30AM(after it finished downloading xDD) again at around 9:00AM when I burned it to DVD, again around 2-3PM..can't remember, and again at 8:30PM.

It's like, each time I watch it, I realize that I overlooked something(prolly 'cause I didn't sleep a wink and was delirious throughout the whole day)...so I kept watching xD That, and I was grinning for like an hour after the first watch, and like, laughing 'cause it didn't sink in that I just watched it...rofl

Best movie I've ever scene :happycry:

Bruce Lee - September 15, 2005 10:48 AM (GMT)
Yeah i had to watch it 3 times to get everything understood. I also missed small areas in fights the first couple of times cause i was still in awe of the awesomeness. The fights are :o~~~

*SPOILERS*
i noticed though that there were scenes missing from the movie that were in the first few trailers that were released. Namely, the part where the explosion sends cloud up on his bike and he slams down on Kadaj with his blade on the bike. Although i think they just modified it, cause there was a slam down bit after the explosion.

Hey Katie (still spoilers) do you think the last little thing Cloud used on Sephiroth was omnislash? Sorta looked like it, how he swirled his blade beforehand and the finish was sorta the same. I picked up a few of his limit breaks though:
Braver: Against Bahamut
Blade Beam: Against Loz to block his ground smash thing. Also against Sephiroth when the three lines are created in the ground.
Climhazzard: Against Bahamut (which was awesome)
Finishing Touch: I'm pretty sure this is what he uses against Kadaj before he turns into Sephiroth (spun his blade a little and then sent him flyin)

Bill Gates - September 16, 2005 01:21 AM (GMT)
I'm just gonna label this entire thread full of spoilers for full discussion, 'cause yeah, there's a thread in the Daily Gaming for AC also, that is non-spoilerish.

I think it was like, Omnislash v.2 Kie xD

I noticed loads of Limit Breaks used in the movie too. Red XIII looked like he used Sled Fang on Bahamut, Cid used Hyper Jump on Bahamut, Vincent transformed into his cape, or something to save Cloud from Kadaj in Ajit, Tifa used Beat Rush, Somersault, and Meteor Strike for sure on Loz, and stuff that somewhat looked like Dolphin Blow and Water kick, though it could've just been a normal kick *shrug* and I'm not certain, but I believe Yuffie used Greased Lightning on Bahamut.

Lots o' Limit Breaks ^_^

aj - September 16, 2005 09:59 AM (GMT)
HANDS DOWN ON THIS MOVIE!!! my fave movie ever as of today 6:10 pm +8 GMT. =P

I really like the twin blade dance that cloud does and uhmm... THE BATTLE WITH BAHAMUTH!!! XD

RUDE AND RENO FOR PRESIDENT!!! lawlz. XD

Bill Gates - September 16, 2005 10:14 PM (GMT)
YES! RENO AND RUDE WERE AWESOME!

The sunglasses scene, the climbing the wall scene..and omfg, THE FLASHY BOMB SCENE!

Their my heroes, zotou.

Bruce Lee - September 17, 2005 04:12 AM (GMT)
Yeah i believe she did use waterkick too.

BTW anyone seen Last Order

*SPOILERS ABOUT LAST ORDER*

I reckon it was pretty cool in areas, like Zack fighting the shinra troops and Sephiroth, and the little Cloud vs Sephiroth bit. However i believe that there are some story alterations in it. Like Tifa finds her dad outside of the mako reactor, Sephiroth seems to kill himself by jumping into the reactor with jenova's head and Zack gets killed in the truck, by the turks in a helicoptor. Pretty good though how it followed the FF7 script a bit.

Kiefer Sutherland - September 17, 2005 01:55 PM (GMT)
!!!!

There are very few words I can think of that describe the amazingness of this movie...They nailed it...they really did...it had everything...

The fight with Sephiroth has got to be my favourite part...when I first saw the trailers with Sephy in them, I thought he would only make a cameo, but man, a whole kickass battle!

Oh, and how cool is it that Rufus made an appearance as well! George...we were right...

Toushiro Hitsugaya - September 17, 2005 02:56 PM (GMT)
They finally did it.... a movie based on a game that totally kicks @$$...

It was hilarious when Reno smacks Rude in the face by accident. I had a felling it was Rufus in the wheelchair and I was right, and im glad they brought him back. Plus I liked that they gave Zack a cameo.... but I wished he was in it a little more

Every fight scene was spectacular....... especially the Sephiroth battle.

BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!

But just like the original FF7.... it leaves me wanting more..... they still have room to make another sequel..... they got a whole 497 years to fill

Bill Gates - September 18, 2005 04:28 AM (GMT)
Cloud's sword is so kickass xD

RPGamer if ya wanna see Zack, watch Last Order...it's mostly about him.

Wicked pic Katie where'd you find it?

Yeah I've seen it and love it..... I just would of liked it if Zack was in AC some more but I guess becouse Last Order is pretty much all him, they decided to pretty much leave him out of AC.... but i can live with that...

Kick ass pic... I never fully saw how it all goes together but now I do... where did you get that?

Bill Gates - September 18, 2005 06:07 AM (GMT)
Some JP site that they had a link to on AdventChildren.net I'd give you the direct link to it, but AC.net is down at the moment x_x

It's got an interview with Nomura I guess, and he explained a lot of stuff that was left unmentioned in AC, such as how the sword works, and whatnot. I can't understand a bit of it, 'cause I can't read japanese ^^, Supposedly there's gonna be more compilations, according to a machine translation..but I dunno how reliable it is. The machine translated Aeris' name to Air Squirrel...xD

Toushiro Hitsugaya - September 18, 2005 06:29 AM (GMT)
Air Squirrel...LMAO!!!!!

Did anyone catch the W.R.O. sign??? it was the sign Kadaj broke through when he went on to the highway... I thought that was neat, already connecting AC with DC...




Bruce Lee - September 18, 2005 10:43 AM (GMT)
Authorised W.R.O Parsonal Only. Extremely Dangerous.

Yeah i caught it...W.R.O? That means...?

Toushiro Hitsugaya - September 18, 2005 05:47 PM (GMT)
World Recovery Organization.....

Also the sign that falls on Rude's head is a Loveless sign....that was hilarious.

Bill Gates - September 18, 2005 10:00 PM (GMT)
I always thought it was World Restoration Order o_O; Must be different translations floating about.

Whatever the translation, it's the thing Reeve's in charge of, and part of the plot in Dirge of Cerberus. That's prolly why we didn't see Reeve in AC, he was doing W.R.O. stuff.

aj - September 19, 2005 12:55 AM (GMT)
I watched the movie over and over... XD

after Tifa's battle with Loz, what happened to her gloves? O_o"

what's with that wolf? ahaha! I think soldier or cloud's logo is fenrir the wolf but but... ahah! nvm me. XD and oh!~ nice bike. =P

OMFG! SEPH DIDN'T USE THE METEOR THAT HAS err... puny damage.

DAMN CLOUD AND THE REST OF THE PARTY!!! they all have ribbons. I think it would be fun to see Seph using his "heartless angel" attack.(Am I mistaken? the one with all the status etc.) hahaha!

Then it would be the epic battle between Seph and the frog with the swiss knife. LoL! XD

hahaha! I'm obssessed with the movie so don't mind me. XD

best quote for me in this movie...

kadaj : "Follow my lead".
(in the Ajit.)

favor to Neo or KT, can any of you please change my name to "kadAJ". Yes, capital AJ pls. =P hahaha. thanks a bunch in advance. XD

It shall be done ^^

Toushiro Hitsugaya - September 19, 2005 01:23 AM (GMT)
Kadaj with all the kids gave me a weird MJ vibe... especially when he twirled his hand in the air. Did any one else get that feeling..

Bill Gates - September 19, 2005 01:31 AM (GMT)
Well, he did act kinda girlishly o_o; But I dunno if it gave me an MJ vibe...

Glad to see I'm not the only one watching it a bunch of times though! It's like the games; High replay value! xDDD

Toushiro Hitsugaya - September 19, 2005 01:45 AM (GMT)
I guess its just me.....

I think i watched it like 6 times, it just doesent seem to get old.... it is truly a epic movie...

Bruce Lee - September 19, 2005 05:58 AM (GMT)
I've seen it 5 times but i'm gonna stop for a bit so it really doesn't get old (cause every movie has the potential to get boring).

Yeah aj i wouldn't mind seeing the attack that continuously destroys our galaxy yet does 3000 damage.

aj - September 19, 2005 08:41 AM (GMT)
Well, pardon me, I'm baised to that left handed guy since I'm also left handed. I also find his sword style cool and interesting. =P

There's such thing as bishies in every anime. I guess kadaj and yazoo were meant to be like that. -_-" too bad for me, but they're still cool nonetheless. ^^

_________________

Seph : I shall use my ultimate move... METEOR!!!

Cloud : omg! it destroyed the galaxy yet it did 3000 damage to all of us. O_O"

/swt

Seph : in that case, I shall use my ultimate move... heartless angel!!! TURN INTO STOOPID SLEEPING BERSERKER POISONED BLINDED MUTE FROGS OF DOOM!!!

Cloud : dude, we all have ribbons here. O_o"

Seph : Shit! damn you! I'll just whack you with my sword. O_O"

It could have been really nice, but why the hell does he need to stand and watch all the hits from the 6 swords? wtf? " -_-"

I still find the seph part very cool though. ^^

Reeve was on the phone if you remember...but if you meant seeing him physically, then yeah that was crap...XD

I was glad they included all the characters...I mean, I thought they were going to somehow leave Cait Sith out...but they didnt...how awesome is that!

Man that is classic...that is going into the random quote thing...

The other thing that is awesome about the movie is the soundtrack...the song where they are in the tunnel is great...I love the revamped turks theme, J-E-N-O-V-A and One Winged Angel...kickass...

Bruce Lee - September 19, 2005 11:39 AM (GMT)
Cait Sith did little in the movie though...just like in battles in the game!

Btw everyone i took the liberty of using BSPlayer's awesome screen capture function and i've got about 250 quite decent pics from the movie. The file's 6mb so i can't upload it, but if anyone wants a looksee, catch me on msn or aim.

Batman - September 19, 2005 12:15 PM (GMT)
Ahh thnx for those pics kie, they were so awsome.

after watchin the movie over and over, and playin my fav scenes (of course its the ones with Rufus) I just can't get enough of the movie. although diferent variations in the translation exist i just really like my version of Rufus's awsome qoute towards Kadaj. "Figure it out, You who lack Filial Piety". with that said, I really enjoyed how they made the transiston of characters from txt boxes, to actual voices, it was done soo well, i'm dredding a dubbed version of it. :( hope they don't stuff it up and have cloud sound like ash from pokemon *shudder*

i shall leave with another awsome qoute from good ol Rufus from my version of AC

"We will obey the fate of life."


he's so cool B)

Bill Gates - September 19, 2005 09:28 PM (GMT)
I find it absolutely hilarious that Advent Children has become the most active topic here on AT ^_________^

I'd love to see those screenies Kie. I took a bunch myself..I'm prolly gonna be putting mine up in a photobucket album dedicated to it :3

Yeah, I'm dreading the day the dub comes..but if Cloud is Steve Burton again (<33333) All will be fine xD


Toushiro Hitsugaya - September 19, 2005 09:56 PM (GMT)
Lance Bass better not be Sephiroth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Jap voice actors where perfict in my opinion... they better do a good job with the sub.

Kiefer Sutherland - September 20, 2005 06:01 AM (GMT)
To be honest, I thought that the jap version of cloud was a bit too deep for my liking...other than that they did a great job...and really thats just a minor gripe...

However, it shouldnt be too hard to get the dub right...I mean, they know what they need so they should find who they are looking for...think CB people...the dub for that was excellent...

aj - September 20, 2005 10:27 AM (GMT)
Thanks Peter. hahaha. XD

I guess Seph could have won the battle if the other two fused. Kadaj always mention something about reunion of them, so I guess the other two are needed together with Jenova's cells to complete the fusion/reunion.

The soundtrack was awesome, everything. I mean all were familiar music from ff7. ROCK MAN! MOST WERE FREAKIN' ROCK!!! yeah! XD Rock version of one winged angel, etc. and oh! it's a 1:41 mins of mobile phone advertisement. hahaha! XD

I was told by my friend that Cloud's sword was called First tsurugi, which I don't get btw. Tsurugi is somewhat a katana. err... and oh! Omnislash v. 5.0 as the finishing move to Seph. O_o" What part of that 6 slash finishing move spells 5.0? Which part of that 6 blades spells 5.0? O_O"

nvm me. ^^"

Bruce Lee - September 20, 2005 11:31 AM (GMT)
True for CB, they were awesome.

lol George, if they made him sound like ash i'd kill something, after laughing my ass off.

Bill Gates - September 22, 2005 09:46 PM (GMT)
It's official: AC has sold out in Japan. In a little over a week, 93% of all copies on all four platforms/versions available, UMD, Limited Edition, Advent Pieces, and the plain DVD. That's a little over 420,000 copies 7 days.

Daaaaaamn

Mr. T - September 23, 2005 12:54 AM (GMT)
Best. Movie. Ever. Period.

Grr, I need time to watch it again. >.> And you know my section of my yearbook this year is going to be filled with Advent Children quotes.

Best part: End of the movie, with Kadaj just turning into Sephy. ^.^ I "squeed!" for at least five minutes.

So many bishis. ^^; Vincent... Sephy... Cloud... Kadaj... *drools puddle on the floor* Plus Yuffie kicked ass. ^.^ Yay Yuffie-chan!

aj - September 23, 2005 08:25 AM (GMT)
I just got a copy of last order from a friend. I think it's still raw though. Dunno, he just gave me a cd and tadaa!~ I'll watch it later. =P

Well, actually, I was expecting it to be sold out in 2 weeks or so... but one week. O_O"

coolness, A MOVIE BASED FROM A GAME THAT DOESN'T SUCK!!! WAHAHAHA!

Quite ironic that the best movie ever for me is a movie taken from a game. 5-7 years ago, all movies based from games sucked. XD

I want that phone and bike... Dream on! LOL!

I think alot of movie companies should look at that exact quote and think, what can I do to get people like AJ saying that about out movies?

Not only did they create it from one of the defining games in history, but also, they just made it good...I think its an art form and Square Enix nailed it...and alot of movie companies make the same mistakes over and over...and the same can be said for games made from movie lisences...

However, Im a bit surprised that it sold out in a week...thats pretty phenominal, especially for a game based movie...normally you would associate that with a big hollywood blockbuster, but it really shows how well it was made...now lets hope they nail the dub as well...if that happens, well we could see Square Enix with more money than an oil tycoon...and thats alot of money at the moment...XD

Bruce Lee - September 24, 2005 12:07 AM (GMT)
Well FF7 was one of the best selling games ever, so naturally if the creators do a good job at the movie it'll be big. I think capcom should "borrow" some of this technology and make a Metal Gear Solid movie. That would be awesome.

Didnt Konami bring us the MGS series kie?

You can buy the phone on ebay every once in a while :D Just search for Advent Children, and it usually pops up.

...not that I uh..go there that often or anything..ehehehe...:whistle:.

:swt2:

But umm..anyway..yeah. Sold out video game movie, isn't that just so awesome? ^_^ I wonder how it'll do when it's released here in the US..? I know I'm buying it. Hell, I'm gonna buy every single English released AC item they bring over here...for obvious reasons.

<-- :lame:

Toushiro Hitsugaya - September 25, 2005 02:16 AM (GMT)
If they did some real advertising on TV like the Sci-Fi channle, G4, or Anime Network or somthing like that it would help with sales.....

:lame: too

I alredy have 2 diff AC posters in me room and the Seph, Tifa and Vincent AC version figures and I ordered the Cloud on his bike figure.....$70....its supposed to come in about a month or 2....

If I cant get Advent Pieces.... Ill make my own....

Bruce Lee - September 25, 2005 11:35 PM (GMT)
The phone's called the Panasonic K900iV and it's so awesome but it's also like, a year old in japan. Unfortunately, it prolly won't be released here, but yeah, eBay.

Half off-topic for a sec, Katie do you like, ever go on MSN or AIM anymore or have you just blocked me? Cause i can't send those pics to ya of you're never on :P

Either she's never on or she's blocked both of us...XD
