i liked the new charas though i'd have liked to see yazoo, loz and kadaj's story developed a bit more... i like the new look of the old characters...they look cool and yet they're still themselves. ^^ and tifa doesn't look like such a **. ha ha. aeris was really pretty. which brother is your favourite? mine's yazoo lol. which is why i'd have liked if he got more screen time! ha ha, he's pretty!

YES!!!! Another Yazuu fan!! My friend loved Kadaj, but I think that Yazuu looked and acted WAY cooler. (Though we could've done without the Cloud shooting. ^^;)

Aerith did look super cool, but I though the character they redid best was Reno. In the actual game, it's hard to tell if he's cute or not. (in fact, he looks pretty ugly in the game. I liked him anyways.)

About Tifa, I like her new outfit as well. Because of the older one's (using your term) "sluttiness", during the cut scene on the Highwind of her stumbling around, my cousin made the comment, "God! She could really poke an eye out with those!!" I glared at her for quite a while after some childish lauhter.

*sigh* 'Twas the curse of ancient graphics.

Really? You were that calm? I was all like "WHAT THE @#$@#%&#&^#*&!!!!" (I still loved him though)

I thought that Loz was well thought up. He was funny! XD (He also kicked Tifa's butt. That made me happy. I=Tifa-basher)

I thought it was nice to see Marlene have a big role. I have one question though, why the heck is she clinging to Loz the whole Ancient City scene? And then she goes over and clings to Vincent. 0_o

well, i have already seen the U.S. version of final Fantasy VII:Advent children that came out a couple weeks ago and i saw the commercial!!! and i thought the characters were absoultly stunning!! :) i,ve watched it about 20 some times already!! anyway here's what i thought about the character's:

Sephiroth: the coolest character in the whole movie. he's sooo cute!! they made him look soo cool in this movie!! the fight at the end was soo cool!! " I Will Never Be A Memory"( folds one black wing over himself and disappears)

Rufus: really cute!! cool voice it matched him well!!! i was sooo surprised he was alive!! after i saw him in final Fantasy VII in the explosion with the weapon situtation, i thought he was dead!! thank god he was not.i also liked the whole flashback situation with him.

Reno:very funny and a goof ball!! lollolol!! added a hint of comedy to the movie. reallly cute and hot!!

Kadaj: very cute and hot! lol and physo but that's what makes him soo cool!!! plus he's a very good fighter! has a really good voice.

Yazoo: very cute and good loooking. a very good fighter as well. and a very good voice.

Loz: sort of weriod.

Cloud: he's soo cool in this movie, made me want to play final fantasy VII alll over again. lol

Vincent: a very good come back into the movie!! he's really good-looking!!! he's soo cute!! a very,very good fighter and his voice is amazing!!!

Tifa: just the way i remmember her, but even better!! :)

yuffie: a little annoying at the end where they were in the airship. but a good fighter during the Bahamut battle.

Barret:he's a little more like Mr.t than i thought..... very funny tho.

Red XIII: the first person to see in the beginning, but needs more lines that just one. cool voice.

Cid: alot better than he was in Kingdom Hearts 2. and alot better than he was in final fantasy VII. Cool voice.

I thought it was nice to see Marlene have a big role. I have one question though, why the heck is she clinging to Loz the whole Ancient City scene? And then she goes over and clings to Vincent. 0_o

1) Loz: I put it up to the fact that Loz is just a big kid at heart. A slightly insane, relatively violent kid, but still just a kid. He may seem less intimidating because he doesn't appear to be quite as bright as his "brothers", and probably isn't all that bad when he isn't fighting. I mean, Yazoo is just crazy-quiet, and Kadaj seems to be a little over the deep end even when he isn't fighting.

2) Vincent:...He's Vincent. That's all I can really come up with. Maybe she met him at some point. Or maybe he's just a sweet little teddy bear on the inside. Who knows?

----

As for the characters:

Returning:

Cloud - Like him just as much as before. Not much has changed. Thought Steve Burton did a pretty damned good job as his VA.

Tifa - A little off on the VA sometimes, but she was pretty good. I like the new look as well.

Vincent - Still love the guy. Steve Blum doing his voice is just icing on the cake.

Yuffie - Like the new look, and she's just as amusing as in the game. The VA did pretty good as well, for the few lines she had.

Barret - His VA did a pretty good job. Not many lines to judge by though. I also liked the new gun arm.

Red XIII - He didn't have nearly enough parts, and his VA wasn't quite what I expected. Good, but not what I thought it'd be.

Cait - I love it. Amusing, and the accent seemed to fit disturbingly well.

Rufus - Just how I always like him (Personality wise) and just how I expected him to sound. Officially one of my "Potential Gods". "A good son would have known." = Insta-win.

Reno/Rude - Same as Rufus. Reno knocking Rude off his feet and then stepping on his glasses was also rather amusing.

Aerith - Actually, I was very pleased with her. She didn't do quite as well in KHII, but the voice acting was hardly the focus in that game (Except with Sora and the other few really important characters).

Sephiroth - Sephiroth remains my God. I thought the VA (SUPERMAN! NOOJ!) was great.

Zack - Officially one of my Vice-Gods, next to Vincent and Axel.

Cid - Like with Reno/Rufus/Rude, I loved his personality. His VA was also much better than in KHII, with a slightly toned down, but still very apparent, accent.

Marlene - While I thought the VA was okay, there was just something that I didn't like about her character at times. Maybe it was the whole "Toss a piece of something at the bad buy that's going to make him even stronger" thing.

Tseng/Elena - Not many speaking parts. The VAs were okay. I think Elena's was a bit too light, but the acting was still good.

And, as always: Jenova is my Goddess.

----

New Voices:

Kadaj - He was a bit off at times, but he was usually great when he went on one of his insane rants. I especially liked his line: "So what if I'm a puppet. Once upon a time...You were too!" I also liked his character. Maybe it's a little weird, but his ending is one of the few times that I've nearly teared up in a game/movie. I just felt sorry for the guy...

Yazoo - Not really much to judge. He didn't have much development, and didn't have many speaking parts. The VA did well for the most part though.

Loz - While he had a few off moments ("Where's mother!" and "You meanie!"), but his VA was okay otherwise, and he was amusing.

Denzel - I like the kid. "Son of a ***!" at Bahamut = Guts.

Nice points. I just thought it was weird to see Marlene practically hugging Loz's leg after she had seen him beat up, and almost kill, one of the people who means the most to her.

About Vincent...Not a clear point really, we might never know.

^_^?? Gomen, I'm a little confused by the quotes you guys are throwing out...I only saw the Japanese version, so the quotes I know are things like...

Aerith: "Mou...dai jou bu...da ne? (Translated as:You're alright now...right?)"

Loz: "Kaasan wa? (Where's mother?)"

Kadaj: "Hohona!(I'm unsure if this is actually what he says here. ^^;)Niisan da! (look! It's brother!)"

Cloud: "Ore wa...hitori ja nai! (I'm...not alone!)"

As for the Marlene issue, I think she just needed someone to cling to, and Loz was semi-kind to her...sorta...

As for Vincent, she already would have known him, so it would be easy for her to find solace in his cloak. Just my opinion.

#10 May 17th 2006, 2:32pm
LurkingShadowQueen
I feel that she clung to Vincent merely because he was the only other person that could comfort her at the moment. The only human in the clearing that she wasn't mad at...ya know what I mean? And as for Loz...I agree with all of you, he was the kindest one...

Kadaj was crazy...and that's why I like him..

#11 May 27th 2006, 2:05pm
Sephy-kun's girl
Really! I mean think about it: Kadaj was givin' his speech (in which he was kinda creepy), and Yazuu had a gun. Loz, on the other hand , had spared Marlene before. It makes sense that he'd be the one to hang on. Plus, how can ya not like Loz? He's so funny! XD

There are alot of people out there who do not understand Japanese anime/graphics. Especially Westerners, though it is gradually becoming less so.

Yazoo (zuu? Sorry.) was a girl to them, a girl who should have gone to Korea to further a career in modelling.

See what I mean? They thought Reno was a girl as well, which is infuriating, but....well. You can only sigh.

Random bit of replying text.

that is random ;p how can people think reno is a girl? seriously. *shakes head* i can understand yazoo kinda but seeing as he's wearing that tight leather(pleather?) thing all thoughts of him being a girl would be dispelled lol. unless they had some crazy notion he was just a really not developed girl lol. i've had this one guy make fun of the ambiguity of alot of anime characters...but he's a bit on the weird side...ha ha. and he said that guys in yaoi manga look like girls.(uh yeah? one's gotta be uke!) silly silly westerners...oh wait, that's me ^^'

(zuu? Sorry.)

I just like to spell things as they would be in Japanese. Yazuu would be written with the Katakana YA-ZU-U or with a a longish line after the "ZU" character. I don't spell Kadaj and Loz that way 'cause 1) Kadaj would just be "Kadaji" and 2) Loz would be hard to recognize 'cause it would be "Rotsu." (looks cool, though, dunnit? XD)

Anime is drawn very femininly. If you aren't used to the style, it would be understandable to mistake a guy for a girl. Now a friend of mine took it too far when I showed her a picture of FFIX's enemy character Kuja.

Friend: "What's that?"

Me: "A character from a totally awesome video game! *hugs picture* Ilove him so much!"

F: "Is that a girl?"

M: "NO! Would I say I loved HIM if he was?"

F: "...It it a eunich? Or it it a cross-dresser?"

M: *promtly slaps friend on the shoulder 'til she shuts up*

That kinda thing is soooooo annoying!

I really loce AC. I think Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo are great. They're roles in the film can be debated though. I wish they'd have given Yazoo more of a personality. Love the scene between Yazoo and Reno. I think the english version is better as far as the voices go. Yazoo's voice in JApanese is hilarious. He sounds permenantly tired. Love it in english though. There's something about bored and drawling voices that I really love!!!

About Marlene clinging to Loz, it looked to me like he was holding on to her (so she couldn't get away?) so I guessed that she couldn't get away she accepted her position. And the fact that Kadaj probably wouldn't be all that nice and Yazoo had a gun...

But so does Vincent o_O

Smart in a Stupid Way
I found out a little while ago from my Japanese teacher ((Arigatou Nakashige-Sensei!)) that Kadaj ((of whom I love and adore)) is spelled in katakana Ka-da-Ji with a small Yu which makes it sound like Ka-da-ju. Just another reason for me to learn my katakana faster, right? ^_^

Anyways, Kadaj is my favorite and I would have liked to have him fleshed out a bit more in the movie, but hey, that's what fanfiction is for right? He has an interseting twisted side to him and I always wondered what it would have been like if Kadaj was given more of chance (and perhaps not Jenova's head for a mother).

On a side note, has anyone ever noticed the picture on the back of the english box (you can find it on the internet too) of Cloud carrying Kadaj's lifeless body against a yellow backround? It never happens, mainly because Kadaj disenigrates, but its a pretty picture. I always wondered why they had it. Fanservice? (lol HATE THAT PAIRING.)

Oh well. There's my two cents. ^_^

I love Yazoo! He is my favorite! He is my little snugglebunny! ^.^ I knew from the very first time I saw him that he was a boy. He DOES have a womanly figure, though (somewhat large chest to not be muscly, large hips, butt, and theighs, big lips . . .), but it just makes him the more precious and cuddley! ^-^ Did anyone here notice the small fat role under his chin? Squeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

And as for the Kadaj and Cloud (Kuraudo) image, there were a few other images that were not in the movie, such as the bros. in the Shinra ruins, that one of Yazoo kicking Reno (strange image of Reno, I must say), the bros. on their bikes on the hill, Rude and Reno with his tongue stuck out, and Cloud holding his sword with only half of his face visible. I think these were just intended to be prettyful pics to make fans happy, not to be in the movie or suggest homosexuality. Just a different perspective or something for the scenes, perhaps?

i loved Cloud, Tifa and Aerith in the film^^ especially that they gave Aerith and Zack parts despite being dead. I wanted Yuffie, Cid and the others to have bigger roles, cuz they only appeared at the end for the fight with the Bahamut. Marlene it think should've had a better role in the parts she was in~ Reno and Rude^^ i loved them being goofy^^ Elena and Tseng weren't in it much :( Sephiroth was fab and scary as always~!

as for the newbies.. i wasn't so keen on Kadaj. He looked cool, but sometimes he semed creepy, like Michel Jackson or something. Yazoo was awesome^^ definately cool, he was the cool one out of the three~ and Loz, my fave, was adorable for a bad guy^^ like when he was fighting Tifa, and Yazoo rang, and Loz was crying^^ lol

On the new characters my fave is Yazoo. What's not to love. Big green eyes, kissable lips, a hot tight body and a cute little butt.

Older characters, Cloud and Vincent of course. Cloud well because he's Cloud nad Vincent love the deep voice it makes me shiver. Like tiny little icecubes are dancing up and down my spine.

On Tifa, Silicon at it's finest. Gotta love a girl with gravity defying boobs.

I would have reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (really) liked to have more Zack fair in the movie, but that's what the new one is for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. Kadaj is cool :). It's cool to see the characters how Square-Enix really envisioned them, I mean with the not-so-good technology of 97', the Playstation didn't have the best of graphics, soooooooo . . . . . With FFVII AC It's like you really get to actually see the characters if you know what I mean. The characters are . . . . .one of a kind :)

OMG Sorry for sounding like a fan-girl, but I sincerely agree with you with things like Aerith and Zack or that Reno and Rude are super hilarious. I'm glad someone else thinks that too!
