I was kinda pissed though, I had a feeling that a lot of stores would be sold out because it really wasn't a 'big' film, and thus most stores didn't cary a ton of copys like they would for other new movies. Then again, it was a very sought after film, so yeah, I thought stores would sell out fast.
Anyway, my plan was to go after school right away. I had to wait for a few people after school though, and they ALL took their time getting out, for example, this one girl filled up her water bottle, which was very big, in a bubbler (water fountain for those of you who don't use the term bubbler). It took 5 minutes. Then as I was walking to my car, my gf was like, "we're going to subway, want to come?" I was like "No, I really need to be going, besides I don't have any money and its cold out (we would have walked there). But then she kept on begging and begging that I went to subway with them, until I finally agreed.
So we're at subway, I ordered a small soda, the two girls ordered subs. The cash register wasn't working, so it took forever before they were able to pay. To my surprise, they ordered their food to go, this made me happy. Well, then they both decided to go to the bathroom, 10 minutes gone there. Finally, we left and walked back to school. We get to the car, and they want to eat their food, outside, on the ground in the parking lot. I didn't have any food, so I thought I'd be able to leave. Anyway, they asked if I was staying, and I was like "no, I really have to go". They didn't like it, but they finally left me leave.
The 15 minute drive to town took more like 25 minutes because of all the school busses that I got stuck behind. Anyway, I finally get to Best Buy, I walk over to the DVD section, sold out. They had Final Destination 3 (I think, otherwise it was 2), then they had a gap, and then they had the final fatnasy: the spirts within DVD. I sighed, and walked out of the store. From there I proceeded to Circuit City, which is about 1 minute away. It took me nearly 10 minutes, because EVERY SINGLE FRICKEN LIGHT WAS RED!!!! And I hate red lights so much... So I get to Circuit City, I look in the DVD section, they look like their sold out too. But upon further inspection, they had one single advent children DVD left stuck behind some other DVDs. I grabbed it, walked out of the store, proceeded home, and watched it.

Are your discs NTSC, or PAL? Since you speak english, you shouldn't have a problem preordering U.S. versions of things online. That's what I would do if I knew Japanese.

Well its not like they can release it as soon as they finish it. They had to add the features, actually make all the dvds, ship them, etc.
Then again, seriously, how long does it take to do voice overs for a movie? And they did a pretty crappy job translating it, the voice overs were pretty good, but like theres some text in the begining that shows up in Japanese, how hard is it to translate that into english for the english dvd? Also, theres a thingy on the DVD that goes through the key points of FF7 with in game screenies. All that was in Japanese with large yellow subtitles that went by really fast for what the message boxes were saying. With A psx emulator, you could have remade that in english in a few days. So yeah, I was happy with the voice overs, but rather upset that they left some stuff untranslated.
Overall, its a good movie :) I recommend BUYING it if you want to watch it (if you can buy it where you live that is). But come on, if you like the movie, and want squar enix to maybe make more movies, support them by not stealing their stuff. I bought it for $15, its not that much to pay.

Uhh... hmm... in 2003... I made one account in like feb and forgot the password but I just read stuff I never posted..
Then I made Smokey_locs2002 in December and one of my first topics was about FF7:AC and no lol I'm not a Sqauresoft insider.
I am on some PLaytation Panel thingy.. They don't even offer even membership anymore. They send you demos and ask for input and junk like that, I doubt they even read the hate mail I send to them t's been a while since I've sent some though.
They said they are going mail us demos of games that might not even come out on ps2... that was a lie found out why that's highy not possible anyways. In fact.. I think that's how I found out about AC...that or the internet. I have been to Sqaure Enix in London though. I wish to go to the one in Japan, maybe I can next summer. This Summer I'm going to the Bahamas.

Well, they could either have Japan and us wait for them to translate it, or they could just have us wait for it while they translate it :|

It was great.
I don't mind the japanese text at the intro. The story was good enough, at least they explained it at the beginning ( never finished FFVII). The fighting scenes were great, the music was good. I loved the movie all over.
Just one thing... that giant dragon thing... was it Bahamut?
And BTW, the shadow creatures were A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Well I don't really mind the japanese text, I know what is says from the subbed japanese version, its just that if something is sold in english, I would like the text you're supposed to read to be in english too :p
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the giant dragon thing was Bahamut. I thought he was pretty cool, I only wish they designed it to be a little more fluent. Its kinda hard to explain what I mean, so I'm not even going to try :p But I think it'd be cooler if they had a bahamut like the one from FF9.
Theres one thing thats been bothering me about the movie... If you look at a lot of trailers for the movie, they have a scene with kudja (or whatever the hell his name is) shooting these blue balls at cloud while he's on the motercycle, the motercycle flies up in the air, and then the two clash swords as it comes back down. It was in almost every trailer I saw. Then they didn't have that scene in the movie. I thought it might have been a deleted scene, but it wasn't in the deleted scenes either. Whats up with that?
Oh, one more thing, in the american version of FFVII wasn't that one girl called aeris or aries or something with an 's'. In the movie, they refer to her as aireth or arieth or whatever with a th. Am I just seeing things?

Most stores around me had it on sale for $15, it was $20 regularly priced, and the UMD version cost $25.

Yeah, I hate it when that happens. I read in a computer gaming magazine that some guy is making a program where you can have virtual sex with your favorite video game players and even import them from some games. I was just like *blank stare*
But I do have to say, Tifa did look pretty good. I know if the game, I thought she looked kinda crappy, that was probably because the graphics weren't too hot.

Some voices were annoying but best voiceover : Vincent. Nuff said.
kadaj's voice sounded like an emo kid ready to cry everytime he spoke.
Barret sounded like Mr T
Yuffie.. just agh!
Tifa, alright
Cloud, Alright
Rufus, alright
Seph, I was expecting a little bit more like the japanese version but blah!
And also... i am thinking the reason why things released in japan first is because they are made in japan? I thought this striked as obvious to some people.
Ironicly i have gone thru that with my roomates, and they are the supposed "gamers".
ff7 anime looks interesting... and it does because is before ff7, so I went to see cloud and sephi gay sword fighting again.

They made it, they have the right to do whatever they want with it.
In fact is only fair; if they would import everything the same as when they release it in Japan, there would be no, "quality" value for the things in japan, meaning some things might devalue in japan.
It's all marketting concepts really.
Also a lot of things that are removed, are things americans don't get.
In animes dubs I watch there a lot of Japan culture thingies, that I still don't get. Usually those parts are cut out when brought to America because people will devaluate the anime if they don't know what a certain gesture meant.
That happens in a lot of games, movies, and other things.
Thats why sometimes they import the original movies, like the grudge and the ring, but usually that people tha tlook at it will find it weird, because they pretty much don't understand japanese culture all that well.
Taboos are touchy, tis why they cut sometimes.
but yeah, sometimes is not even the Japanese's people fault, but Americans because they find things they consider "wrong" and poof it.
But yeah it's all market..doings.

Well, if you think about it, they would have been better off marketing wise if they would have released both movies at the same time. As soon as the japan release of the movie came out, people started downloading the pirited version. And as you can see in this post, a number of people aren't even going to buy the movie because they have the pireted version. That idea doesn't apply to games though because they can't really be subbed or anything like that.
Post by: Kijuki_Magazaki on April 27, 2006, 08:25:49 PM
And they cant really do that.
The damand market in japan, is WAY bigger than in the US.
It would be unfair to THEM, to just wait until dubs and go through companies and such for exports and imports and whatnot, for a global release.

Cait Sith said a number of things (or at least the black imp part of him). The big white mog part never was in the movie. Anyway, I thought it was funny because Red WAS about to say things a few times earlier, but Cait Sith always ineterupted him.

Lol, but I never played with cait sith in battles because I thought he looked stupid, all I really saw of him was in the non battle screens, in which he is completely white. But yeah, I guess he his slightly pink.
