Just completed FFVII, but missed the final cutscene because of the door. Not sure I can be arsed doing Sephiroth again even though the battle was pretty easy, just long.

Have completed it before but thought it'd be interesting watching Advent Children straight after to know all the context properly.

You could also watch Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0173840/?ref_=sr_1

I saw it in the theatres when it came out!

It was ...


... It was ...



... Totally deserving of ... The Final Fantasy name ... It had ... So much to do with it ...

... Yeahhhh ... Tons ...

TBH the movie wasn't bad as I remember it, I just remember walking in there and expecting SOMETHING even REMOTELY based on FF. And nope

One guy is named Dr. Sid (yes, not spelled Cid). I think that's about it for tie-ins

It was a movie about a scientist stopping an invasion of alien ghosts.

Which sounds like what Scientology is. I don't know.



The CG was fucking insane for 2001 though ... I remember going "holy shit this is fucking amazing looking". 12 years later it looks like a middle-range cutscene in quality but that says a lot considering the changes in technology

Ff7s ending starts kinda when you get to the crater. I wouldn't really consider the end cutscenes the actual ending because its more of an addition to what's already happening. Everyone fuckin raged over it and I don't see why. If you pay attention to the story, it makes sense. It wasn't intended to be a happy ending; meteor was fuckin falling no matter what. The world got fucked up but later got restored to its lush areas in the future. It's also VERY short which is why a lot of people didn't like it as well. IMO ffac ruined the fuck out of ff7 (faggots who say omg cloud wuz emo lol obv didn't pay attention to ff7 at all, you can tell these are the ones who just watched that gay ass movie).

PROOF DAT GOD SAVES DA WORLD WIF PRAYERz or some gay ass religious message with aeris.

Spirits within was cool and it would have been much better marketed not as final fantasy

Like seriously I didn't understand that.

 

[coyotecraft]

It followed the theme of reviving a dying planet. That's what most of the games have been about.

 

[moog]

Thats was about 90% of jrpgs are about

 

[coyotecraft]

That's what the 90s were about.

To be fair I'd probably group the descent into Midgar and the collapse of Shinra as an organisation into the ending too, as they tie off those storylines, and it's a fitting end to the game (you spend the start in Midgar, in slums and urbanity, leave it for lush green expanses of the world to see what's being lost by Mako generation, and then return to the city to watch it crumble).

Someone summed up why they like FFVII well on imgur. One of the best scenes in the game is the player characters watching two sides fight one another, and neither of them is the main villain at all (Shinra vs Weapon). Made even better by the fact Weapon is actually the planet defending itself. The attention they put into things outside of the main track is outstanding, and probably why the Sephiroth ending is so surprisingly short, it's just a small part of the whole game.

this is actually EXACTLY what i mean but in a better written out idea. and ditto @ your ending timeline, I agree that is a good place to put it.

mostly cause disc 3 is just LOL CRATER.

I just got to the part in Final Fantasy 8 where you get arressted and go to jail. That reminds me of real life. Especially on internet forums.
