Final Fantasy Advent Children

Post by **newbified** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 3:01 am

In FFVII, the only character still in their teens is Yuffie, who's 16. The rest range from 20 (Tifa) to 45 (Red XIII).

FFVIII, it ranges from a minimum of 17 (Irvine, Squall, Rinoa, Zell, Selphie) to 27 (Laguna). So in 8, they're definately more in the teenager range.

Final Fantasy IX...Different story I'm sure. I don't even want to know how old the characters are in that game...

Well, in VIII, they were students at SEED. Quistis was the oldest of that group.

Tifa is teh hawt!11!

I think Rinoa was only 16

Im not a FF7 fan, but Advent Children was pretty good, better than the game at least. For one the graphics were quacktastic of course. The Fight sequences were good if not a little Bujingai-esque, I liked how they brought back all the original party members if not for a little while. The story played out exactly as i expected so that the cloud and sephiroth fans alike would be happy. In the end i would call it entertaining and worth a view. But dont expect anything too original or groundbreaking. Of course they did line it up for a sequel, Square Enix isnt done riding the FF7 money train yet.

Advent Children kicked ass oh and Last order was good too

Well 8 sucked and Edea was the hot(wasn't she like 50?). And red13 is only around 16 too just 46 or whatever in his animal years. Vincent is the oldest you get since he is around hojo's age, something like late 50's early 60's.

Post by **Skullkracker** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 12:30 pm

is there an ff7 rom out there?!?!?

I'm pushing the game now, although it is not full of surprises and suspence anymore, but it is still good.

it may only be me, but I see some similarities with the FF8 story...

I d/l FF7 PC game 2 weeks ago with a torrent. It took a couple of days. THe graphics are a bit shitty, but what can you expect with an 8 year old game.

Actually, I prefer to play the PS version using ePSXe (PS emulator) because you can config and enhance the graphics as well as the frame rate (I played it at 4x the usual speed). I own the original PC version, and I have to say that it's pretty shit, it's slow and the graphics are sooo bad. It runs on directX 5 or something, so go figure.

Quoted for pWnage, although I prefer playing games on their original consoles- sadly I do not own a PSX memory card.

The only point that I prefer to play with emulation is the multiple speed to the original - I like to finish my games fast and sweet, to path my way for even more games, bwahahah. I don't really listen to sound because I'm not a big about it.

wow, i dont even play much final fantasy but sound is one of the best features all of them offers

I installed a patch which makes the graphics look smoother and faster.
But lots of bugs in the game. I get a crash at the same point during a movie and can't continue the game

Since you're most likely running on Windows XP .... theres a patch that should allow you to play FFVII. The PC version was meant to work with windows 95 and 98 ..... and i guess for some reason the whole NTFS thing screws with the game.

Game Patch:
http://www.download.com/Final-Fantasy-V ... 22632.html

Chocobo Patch:
http://files.vgpro.com/file/3245

Yea, when you get to the chocobo races (there's one mandatory race) the game may crash so that should fix it. One more thing, the game may decide to crash on you anyways, despite installing these patches. So i suggest you save often just in case. If i'm not mistaken, the game only crashes on the world map, so that shouldn't be a big problem since you can save anywhere on the world map.

Don't want to deal with that, then by all means use an emulator. There are no "Roms" for playstation games. You just use either a PS disc or iso file of a disc with an emulator. Also you're gonna have to tweak your emulator's settings to work well with your computer. That can take a while sometimes.

EDIT: Whoops, i originally quoted the wrong person.

Nope, me too. The only thing is that I liked FF8 because I finished that game first, so the ending didnt seem the same as FF7 at the time. This is because once you figure out the battle system in FF8, it eliminates the need to level up, saving my precious time. And I really REALLY hate leveling up, so I still liked FF8 a lot, and honestly thought Squall was a better character than Cloud; but the story of FF8 was nothing compared to FF7. (plus FF7 has Sephiroth...can't overlook that.)

Thx Basoukazama, but I allready had this info. But the problem is solved. I replaced the broken video fragment with another by giving it the same name. lol

Yep...oh, this is quite an old discussion, but alas, I'm still playing FF7...it won't take long now...
so, I don't know about the ending

but one thing is for sure, no FF8 character can match Vincent Valantine

Hellz yeah. Dumb red muppets win!
Seriously though, Vincent has no lines, and he is in no FMVs. What is there to like about him?[/troll]

You said it, sweetheart.

[/asshole]

Is it true that they are lipsynching the characters to the english dialogue for the US release?

It'll be kinda backwards to watch the subbed version if they do, especially if the dub sucks ass and is unwatchable.

Word Vincent lost so much. First the woman that he loved then his own arm to Hojo. True Vincent was quiet but thats how he is! He was my fav good guy IMO, but nothing tops President Rufus Shinra, hes boss!

Is it just my imagination, or the way you put this is like a Guts-Griffith parallel?

Never thought of it like that. It is like that, wow FF 7 had to borrow some elements from Beserk.

I usually hear about similarities between Guts-Griffith's and Cloud-Sephorith's relationships.

But, that really doesnt mean anything. Those type of relationships arent really rare in games and film.
