Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Impressions

Posted by Hemos on from the who's-gonna-watch-it dept.

Tim Butler writes "1UP.com has posted impressions of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children from the premiere screening at the Venice Film Festival. The article also reveals that the film won't be ready until next spring -- but may clock in at more than an hour and a half in running time (is a big screen release a possibility now?)."

  1. Kill Square by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Once upon a time, Square (now Square Enix) was quite receptive to its fan community, and softly encouraged fan activity and fansites. I think that Advent Children shows that respect has disappeared from Square's vision.

    Like any other mass entertainment company, today's Square -- without much of the original developers, and without the creator of Final Fantasy -- is out to milk every last drop of gil (or dollars, or euros) from each of their intellectual properties. Damn the fans, and the way they thought FFVII should have ended. Damn _their_ perceptions, thoughts, and extensions of the characters. Marketing uber alles.

    Square is dead. Time to move on, people.
