I liked it to an extent. Naturally I paid more attention to the graphics and such, but what I -did not- like was how Sephiroth just poof'd. It was sort of anti-climatic, sure Cloud did a whole bunch of flashy moves but the fact that Sephiroth just nonchallantly disapears kind of off sets that to me. A busy beginning and middle but the end just kind of ran out of steam.

i was ok i think a game would of been much better though.

Top ten selling points
(what made it a great sale; 1 being the best):

10: Aside from diving into the crater, the opening generally reminds of the game's opening.
9: An action sequence three scenes in.
8: Fenrir.
7: Limit Breaks.
6: Materia & recognizable spells (Laser anyone?)
5: Bahamut and the ensuing battles.
4: Cloud.
3: Zack not only appears, but has something to say.
2: Omnislash V5 (cherry blossom in the States >p)
1: Sephiroth.

I have noticed that all of the people who say that the movie is awesome bring up the graphics, voice acting, or the action scenes. But never say a thing about the plot or the character development.

Advent Children was two thumbs down in the two most important aspects that make up a movie. So I don't think it could be considered anything other than just average at best even with the great animation, good battle scenes, and good voice acting (for the most part).

How dare ye call thy self a Final fantasy fan, r not worth. Begon from us u evil omen. I personally thought it was perfect. the battle scene with Cloud and Sephiroth is most absolute perfect. I really don't care what any1 says....it is as i say 'perfect'

No, it's Omnislash V5 in the states. The name Omnislash is the simplified english name. Besides, it doesn't even look much like the Cherry Blossom Special from FFT.

I've pretty much been saying the same thing about Advent all through the picture ever since it came out. The story was absolute trash, no logic or thought whatsoever. And it seemed that every time they wrote themselves into a corner with cloud getting hurt, or dying, or about to die, Aerieth would show up and save him or resurrect him. That was pretty much the worse part. And the cloud/sephiroth fight was the definition of stupidity. you mean to tell me sephiroth blocks clouds leaping overhead downward slash, bare handed, yet can't block omnislash vr. 967111? Lame. And I've always said that after cloud took that sword wound in his shoulder, the fight should have been over. No physical way he could have continued sword fighting with the muscles in his shoulder cut like that. None. I don't care how strong you are, when your muscles get severed, no amount of strength is going to make them move.

Im a final fantasy fan, but I'm a Fan of Sakaguchi's final fantasy. Nomura couldn't tell a coherent story to save his life. Every story he's worked on I've found is utter crap. Except in FFVII where sakaguchi stayed on as an assistant scenario writer, which means I suspect anything decent as far as characters or story you can thank him for.

Oh, and I also thought the animation was a bit crap as well. As for the action scenes, I think someone needs to sit down and teach nomura the meaning of choreography, because those fight scenes were just mindless. EVERY ONE OF THEM!
