If he'd

By keeping Sephiroth in the background, like a lurking presence, AC had an extra bit of mystery.

Well I guess that's why I found AC a bit of a disappointment. I think with all that went on in ,and the hugeness of, the FF7 world there's room for a sprawling, epic adventure movie. AC just seemed to scratch the surface.

I agree with you there - after the vastness and depth of the game, there was a lot of material they could've explored; the hard part is condensing that into a two hour movie without making it too jumbled. The endless twists and turns of the game's story almost guaranteed that the film would never rival it in terms of scope...

The point of Sephiroth being in the film was to fight Cloud for six minutes and make the fanboys happy. It amazes me that people still think that Advent Children was supposed to be something more than a 90 minute fan service. Which I'm not hating on, that's all it should have been.

Is anyone else feeling like FF is going a bit downhill. *runs away from avid gamers*

This film was good in the aspect it was a film and gave us a new storyline to follow. If you were going to resurrect a character, or say one isn't dead I would've preferred it to have been Aerith, the last of the Ancients.

I always believed until the beginning of this film that although Aerith had died, she protected the planet when the comet came towards earth.

I liked that idea. Because surely it isn't that easy to kill an ancient?

hmmm

Sephiroth is like Naraku from InuYasha or Orochimaru from Naruto, you don't get rid of him . . . ever.

*Chases you* I caught ya.

Well, I think there are too many of these prequel/sequel things coming too quickly.

Just give us the damn remake of FF7! I would LOVE that.

& with Advent Children, to be honest, the main reason I enjoyed watching was just to see the characters I had played with for many years as... well more 'real' looking people. The action scenes were great too. & I always get very emotional when Marlene is doing her narration bit at the beginning. However, for me to properly understand what was happening in the movie took quite a lot of explaining & quite of lot of reading threads in this forum. And there are still things I'm a bit confused about, lol.

YOu had to have Sephiroth back. I mean, he's the best bad guy going. I mean, sure, you would think that the cells would have to actually do something more than touch Kadaj "Oh look, that strange box must contain mother!" And, no, they probrably wont make another sequel. I mean, you gotta let it die at some point as much as i would like to see a sequel.
