TGS 2003: Square Enix announces Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Original CG movie set in the FFVII world slated for next year.

At a second press conference today Square Enix announced a new twist on an old favorite with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, an original CG movie using characters from the franchise's first appearance on Sony hardware. The announcement put to rest the months of speculation on a remake of Final Fantasy VII with the revelation that Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children would revisit the characters from the classic game. A brief clip of the movie was shown that gave glimpses of Cloud's and Sephiroth's new look and the high level of detail going into the CG. At present, the movie is expected to run roughly 60 minutes. How it will be distributed and what the final incarnation of it will be remains to be seen, since Square reps at the conference didn't provide many specific details. During a Q&A session following the presentation of the movie clip, the subject of a proper Final Fantasy VII remake was brought up. Those involved with Advent Children stated that if the original FFVII wasn't playable on current hardware, remaking FFVII would be something they would consider. However, with the backward compatibility of the PlayStation 2, it is still possible to do so, which lowers the need for such a project. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is tentatively slated for a summer 2004 release

WOOT!

Here's the excerpt from a magazine in Japan.

Sweet. Is this a movie or a game? I thought from the article it was a movie and the remaking of the game was a possibility, but at the link they were reveiwing the game... :confused:

[!King_Amazon!]

I really think a game would be a lot better than a movie.

Reviewing the movie... Even some screenshots from it... AMAZING!

PS: Is it just mean or does Cloud look insanely like Tidus?

[!King_Amazon!]

I wish I could understand spanish.

[Rurouni Storm]

It's french, I think. I'll babelfish the article for you guys.

"Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, here finally the response to all waitings of the FF-dorks concerning the rumours which turned around FFVII for some time. Behind this name that would not disavow certain groups of RPG Making hides a film in synthesized images whose exit in DVD is planned for the next year. The history proceeds two years after the destruction of Sephiroth which is... euh... of return and which will rub once more in Buster Sword de Cloud. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is the logical evolution of the series, there is CG so much that that is not used any more for nothing to make a play around (the malls of insult it is here , thank you).
"

Try to make sense of that. I can't really.

[Randuin]

Yeah, it's french

[Juggalo]

Ive known about this for weeks...like maybe 2 or 3....

Anyway...It is a movie and Sephiroth has short hair...hes gothic (Wears Black Lipstick and Mascara) and Cloud has boobs....Any other questions?

[Raziel]

I've seen the handful of screens they've got at IGN, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. First of all, Sephiroth looks like a homo. Literally. I've got a gay friend that dresses exactly like him, only without the eye makeup and lip liner. Second, I've been reading that apparently Cloud is the villain in the movie. That would mean Sephiroth would have to be the...not-villain...one way or another, it isn't kosher. The plus side is that it looks really pretty. The CG is amazing. I just hope the story doesn't eat a cornucopia of balls.

[Juggalo]

Yea Sephiroth looks like a homo...i mean....HE CUT HIS HAIR!!! and he has LIPSTICK and MASCARA....And when you see Cloud from the side...he has boobs...

[Chruser]

They should make a FFVI movie as well, that'd be awesome. Nothing wrong with FFVII though, I just like 6's storyline more.

[haplo]

cloud looks like a male yuna. the fuck is that about?

[!King_Amazon!]

I agree, FF6 movie would be nice, but they probably wouldn't do it since the game is pretty old.

[Kuja]

Yup it s french and i totaly agree ff6 movie would just be great!

[Edge]

Dear god, the greatest FF villan ever, Sephiroth (IMO)...

Has been turned into a homo.

[SoldierX]

Well, some of those pictures aren't of Sephiroth. The short dude fighting Cloud has a double edged blade, and we all know Sephiroth is taller and doesn't have a double edged blade.

[Raziel]

Sephiroth was defeated at the end of FF7. He might have lost the Masamune between now and then.

[!King_Amazon!]

Sephiroth without Masamune is like Emeril without Essence.

[Raziel]

Even more evidence of why this movie could turn out to be enormously gay.

[!King_Amazon!]

All final fantasy movies will be gay anyway. They aren't meant to be movies, they are meant to be games/interactive stories.

[NonGayMan]

I saw this in a GameInformer magazine. I'm really hoping that they'll remake FF7 with better graphics, too.

[Kuja]

Well i think it will be total bullshit here a few pic.

Very sad.

[!King_Amazon!]

It won't be that bad.

[Edge]

Let's just hope that the plot will make up for the stupid new character designs.

[uncapped]

The "short haired sephiroth" isn't sephiroth...

It's a new character.

[SoldierX]

I'm guessing a clone. As for how good it's going to be, I think it'll be better than Spirits Within. The fighting seems good at least.

[Kuja]

It is sephiroth im sure whit the short hair.
The hair are the same color and the face too.

During the whole trailer that they show sephiroth its his music from ff7.
You see him while whit short hair. He bow down probably at jenova.
My guess is in the movie he cut his hair after he left shinra.

[Edge]

As for how good it's going to be, I think it'll be better than Spirits Within.

Anything will be better than Spirits Within.

[SoldierX]

Kuja, you don't understand, the short haired dude is definately not Sephiroth. I'd understand the short hair, but how do you figure in the height change?

[Edge]

So many questions to be answered...

Why does Cloud have boobs?
Why does Sephiroth look like a Goth?
And who in the blue hell is the guy with the short hair?

The world may never know...

[Kuja]

Kuja, you don't understand, the short haired dude is definately not Sephiroth. I'd understand the short hair, but how do you figure in the height change?

They really look similar in many aspect tho.
And what if it s cause of lifestream that Sephiroth ended up in another body after being defeated at the end of ff7.
The only time we see him whit long hair is something that happen in middle of ff7 it could be nothing more then a old memory.

[SoldierX]

Alright, you got something there. But everyone else I know says it could be Sephiroth's clone.

[Kuja]

Everyone is wrong !
I have the right awnser it has to be Sephiroth whit the short hair no one would be that leet whit a sword other then him.
And notice how in the trailer they show it in that order.
Lifestream , battle whit short hair sephiroth, short hair sephiroth bow down in front of Jenova (probably Jenova), Then probably a memory of the past.

[Raziel]

There is absolutely no reason why it wouldn't be Sephiroth. He looks exactly like him, with shorter hair and a gay costume. On top of that, the only characters that we have seen in any released screens are Cloud and two dudes that look like Sephiroth. One would logically assume that the two guys that look alarmingly similar are, in fact, the same person.

Even if it is a clone of Sephiroth, that still technically makes the character Sephiroth to some extent. Stop nitpicking over a slight height discrepancy or a new sword. Whether you like it or not, the goth queer is Sephiroth, plain and simple.
