Special K 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2004 I really, really, hope this is the shit. Final Fantasy VII was one of the most successful games of all time, and it looks like they're trying to do it justice. People gripe (and rightly so) about square making shitty games *comparitively*, but they have been careful about this franchise. here's hoping they make a full-fledged pre/sequel.

Guest SP-1 Report post Posted August 10, 2004 Unless I'm mistaken, this is a CG movie, not a game. It's supposed to be a sequel. It should be hitting DVD later this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2004 I know it's a movie. Don't think I would start a thread if I didn't know that. With this and their mini-prequel on the cell phones, though, I hope it creates enough momentum for a full fledged gaming addition to the FFVII universe. Do you really think FFVII is all movie? it's like 1/5-1/4 story sequences, if we're talking the Xeno series, I'd understand. FFVII had gobs of gameplay and a good story to back it up.

FFVII had gobs of gameplay and a good story to back it up. XG had very little CG. Xenosaga, yeah, but it sucked. FF7 had pretty much the same gameplay of FF6 with a crappy half assed story that made it seem like they didn't even try on it. All of the characters were flat and had weak development. Cloud was emotionless and probably the most boring character I've ever played. But it was okay as a movie. It seemed like they went into it with the attitude of movie first, gameplay and story second. Not that it wasn't a smart move, they made plenty of money from it. It sold a lot because Sony hyped it with commercials full of FMV. Half the people I know who bought it didn't have any idea what a RPG was and thought the whole game would be just like the commercial. (Then half of that group hated it because it was a RPG and the other half call it the best rpg ever and post on gamefaqs today) And you gotta admit that without FMV FF7 is pretty bare. Strangely enough, the best thing about the game imo was the ending where all the people died, not just because it was different, but because it fit the theme and tied the game together perfectly, which Advent Children is saying never happened.
