So.. I watched "The Distance: The Making of Advent Children" on the second disc.. well..

There are parts where people may think "People can't jump that far."
And many creators put a restriction on themselves there.
Or, "People can't stay airborne that long."
We decided not to care about that as long as it looked cool.
We wrote our own rules.

I think that says it all.

My sister just got this the other day. I'd already seen it online, but I thought it might be nice to see on my HD.

Now first let me say when I saw this movie online. I actually liked it. I even felt it was a decent sort of followup to a couple unresolved plotlines from the game.

So Square Enix delayed the dvd forever and ever for some unknown reason.

Perhaps they were seeking out the best of the best for the voice cast to make the movie's english dub as good as possible! Perhaps they care!

NOT TRUE. The English voice acting and casting is some of the worst I've seen. I almost wanted to listen for comedy's sake, but I quickly decided we should watch it in japanese.

Surely the subtitles would be okay. They couldn't fuck that up right?

WRONG! The subtitling was god awful. Obviously the translator had a vague idea of the storyline and then decided just to write in whatever fucking lines he wanted, constantly cutting stuff out and flat outright making up shit. They even have Cloud making a reference to dialogue he no longer says in this crappy made up version of the dialogue.
It was awful and completely ruins a lot of better lines and pacing/mood.

FUCK THIS DVD.

If you want to watch Advent Children go download the hiro subs version online. This american dvd version is garbage and will possibly ruin the movie for a lot of people because they fuck it up so bad.

Well don't feel bad, they did that with howl's moving castle to. What the characters say doesn't really match up with the original translation. So i'm scratching my head wondering whether what they say in the english version goes well with what miyazaki wanted to do with the anime. But he said he liked the english version, so it shouldn't be that confusing/bad. Anyway I usually just put subs on ff7: ac to get the feel for the original script. Some of the english version does match up though, but the more important stuff doesn't:(.

Fire, the first day it came out, i payed 16 + tax for it. It might be 20-26 bucks now.

Well I just saw it last night, the action/animation was sweet. But as a fan of the original FFVII, I just felt like it was homage to the game. Kept bringing back old elements like "mother" and "sephiroth" for the hell of it, seemed kind of out of place. Story not too great, but I still think FFVII was one of the best RPG's of its time.

I remember it was the first game I had ever invested so much time in, loved getting the secrets, and finding out everyone's backstory. First 3d rpg of its kind, and the music was no longer midi, I will always remember Aeris's theme and the Main Theme (which is still awesome IMO). I liked Cloud as a Hero because he wasn't just godly invincible tough guy, he actually had weakness, and mysteriousness to boot.

Anyways just brought back alot of memories, very nostalgic experience, but thats about all I liked. The action scenes were so over-the-top, if I was still 12, this would probably be the best movie evar!
