FF7 Advent Children Movie Trailers, Rumors

Wingchild writes "I noticed that the trailers for the new Final Fantasy 7 movie are online at Square-Enix (Squeenix?)'s website, an event as yet unmentioned on Slashdot. Available elsewhere are trailer screenshots and plotline theory. The release will be straight to DVD (Square might still be smarting after the unspectacular performance of The Spirits Within), but it'll still be neat to see what Squeenix is capable of on the ever-moving CG front." S!: The AdventChildren.net fansite also has details of an interview with Tetsuya Nomura, pointing out "the movie [or a new trailer] will be shown in some form at this year's E3", and noting that the past rumor that "the movie will be playable on the PS2 only" has not yet been quashed, although it hasn't been confirmed either.

Link to AVI trailer

That flash-video thing sucks, a link to an AVI of the trailer.

OK, people...

...it seems like a lot of you are either a bit mistaken or have no clue what your talking about, but here's the scoop on Advent Children:

It is NOT a film version of the game. They're not taking the game and removing the gameplay bits (though a movie retelling of FFVII's story would still be worth seeing), they're making a movie sequel to the game. It is an entirely new plotline, taking place two years after the events of FFVII, and it has something to do with a disease called the "Star Mark Syndrome." Not much else about the plot is known.

My thoughts on the movie? It looks bloody awesome. Cloud looks right, the environment looks right, Barret looks...different (but still right), etc. I'm greatly anticipating it.

Now, could somebody fill me in? Is this trailer the one that was released a while ago, when SE announced the movie (the one that started with "Two Years Later," had some motorcycle and fighting bits, and ended with the logo) or is it a whole new enchilada? I'd like to know before I download it on my sucky dialup. Thanks.

Ben Affleck? No...

I think it's sort of interesting (and humourous) how many people in this topic have mistakenly referred to the character in FF:TSW as "Ben Affleck" (AKA Pancake Head; maybe SP fans can enlighten me: where the hell DID that come from? HAHAHA. Regardless, I only refer to Ben Affleck as Pancake Head since seeing that episode...), when it was actually a CG model that looked A LOT like Ben Affleck but voiced by Alec Baldwin. I was confused too when the movie first had trailer's released; I thought the CG models were based off of the "real-life" actors who were doing their voices. Pretty influencial and powerful stuff, that CG...
