Welcome to Gaia! ::

I too believe this to be true, since although Advent Children possessed a far more appealing presentation of the characters (graphically speaking), it was extremely weak with regards to story. Unless you'd actually played the game, not much, if any of the movie's story at all, would make sense. However, most people are too preoccupied with the prettiness that is Advent Children to care much for the story. razz *is guilty of the same thing*

This could be, however, due to the fact that they spend far much more time and effort developing the story for the game, since that was one of the game's main selling points, being an RPG and what have you. Advent Children was more of cutting off loose ends, and adding some closure (and at the time time, making some more questions) to Cloud and his issues.

how can you get confused with the story I mean it's just two years apart

ehh.. in my opinion it's a personal question.. if you were satisfied with the ending in the game then i think AC was unnecessary. But for me it was just more frustrating that the story really was ended, i wanted mooore!!

Then i saw Before Crisis but thats only a prestory of ffVII so that didn't satisfed me either.. I got kind of sad when i knew that this was the end.. cry

And I think that both the game and AC are really really good and they are connected.

Whilst it does not have cliched characters like those in fair tales, it still has highly cliched characters.



Hey whatever happened to cloud getting with Barret xD. I remember them going on a date in the game. Yet it was not mentioned in Ac wink


As for me I considered it little more than eye candy. A movies plot is very important to me. I felt it bought FF7 down for me.

first i had problems to understand everything in the game - then i watched advent children and the special story summening on the dvd - and suddenly there was no confusion anymore. i think on the english version of the game many things are bad translated. 3nodding

I don't feel that the movie has a very strong storyline.

It also confused those who had never played the game.

Final Fantasy VII: I won't go into detail on this one...too long.

SPOILER!!!~

Advent Children: The Turks were assigned to go to the Crater in the north and find Sephiroth's sword as proof that he was dead. When they arrived, they ran into three of the Sephiroth clones and were attacked. The clones proceeded out of the crater in search of their "Mother" Jenova.

Holy had destroyed Meteor, the biggest threat to the planet yet, but it hadn't forgotten about the other problems on the planet either. After Holy and Lifestream had destroyed Meteor, it caused a cancerous epidemic called Geostigma to grasp hold of humans to yet again destroy another threat to the planet.

The Last Order: The story of Could and Zack's encounter with Sephiroth inside the Nibelhiem mako reactor.

~~~

The story in Advent Children wasn't all that great. Whereas it did answer a few questions, like what happened when Meteor was destroyed, and a few of the people that "died" in the game. But other than that, it was really just used to feed a pack of hungry FFVII fans worldwide who wanted a remake with some of the original Japanese options available.

The Last Order however I feel we needed direly. I myself understood the events that took place in Cloud's past in Nibelhiem with Sephiroth and Zack. But, after getting a few puzzled questions from friends who had played the game and didn't understand a lot of what happened, I realized that this was a good idea.
