Beauty inside!

 

[jenov4]

Pure sex.

Junon cannon! Tifa getting the crap beat out of her! Cloud walking through the chapel! It's all so pretty. I just hope they take their time with the story. There seems to be an awful lot of locations and characters to pack into an hour and a half.

 

[Kiriku]

Simply amazing. Even if the story is crap, I would buy it just for the looks alone.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

nice

If this was the Final Fantasy movie that was released in theaters, I have the sneaking sensation that it'd of sold quite abit better.

I remember them saying it's going to be a 60-minute movie when it was first announced.

 

[speedpop]

S-E did state at approx. 60 mins but now it's in limbo between 70-90 at the moment.

Seriously.

 

[DSN2K]

I cant wait for the soundtrack

 

[TekunoRobby]

I really like what they did with all the redesigned character, they are simply awesome. I'm not really expecting anything worthwhile story wise to be honest, not that I doubt the team I just know next to nothing about the peice to even have a decent assumption of what will go on.

 

[teiresias]

Are these posted anywhere else? The GA page is apparently getting hammered.

 

[neptunes]

they're just screens from the vid that was at e3, I'm sure you guys have already seen the trailer.

i thought it looked pretty lame... tsw looked more impressive...

TSW is more technically impressive. This has a much more impressive artstyle though. Just watch the trailers of it.

actually, i thought the art style in those pics was worse too...

 

[cybamerc]

Advent Children has such a dull look. The Spirit Within is much, much better in that regard.

Thank you for your incite.

It actually looks kinda like anime inspired Blizzard CG...

 

[cybamerc]

Thank you for your incite.

Likewise...

[SolidSnakex]

All I know is that if we get games in this style next gen, i'll be very happy.

Just an absolutely amazing artstyle.

 

[dark10x]

I especially dig this one...

Looks very "Blizzard-like", actually...

 

[jenov4]

Each one of these shots can qualify as my wallpaper. Sweet stuff!

 

[jiggle]

So pretty. It kind feels unfair to use summons in a fight, in a movie. But I hope they'll make an appearance.

 

[DarienA]

Well if nothing else this answers the question of did humans survive....

I think they both look dull. In fact the FMV in FFX is more "attractive" to me.

Haven't played it but I'm not a big fan of the art style. FFVII's FMV looks a lot better than Advent Children though (not technically of course).

yeah, the art direction in advent children has taken a sharp nosedive

well I don't think there are many other choices, given the movies storyline.

Having half the world destroyed by meteor/holy and this new sickness that most people have (Geostigman/Star Scar Syndrome) You can already tell the movie has this gloom/hopeless atmosphere and the dark artstyle helps.

 

[jett]

The world wasn't destroyed, just Midgar...supposedly. I want to see Wutai, Costa del Sol and other, more colorful places.

well blizzard fmvs for their warcraft games are really top notch in quality and have tremendous style.
which is why i always wondered how come american games tend to have bad art in general, blizzard fmv cutscenes are certainly as impressive as any FF cutscenes, IMO.

 

[The Promised One]

Here ya go guys...

 

[hooo]

All I know is that if we get games in this style next gen, i'll be very happy.

lol, That won't be happening unless gaming and FF becomes a household item. The buget on just the art assets has to be HUGE.

 

[nitewulf]

if it was upto me, i'd make an action rpg based on sepiroth where you could destroy the whole world. such a wasted opportunity.

 

[neptunes]

DPM: When and why you decided to make a continuation of Final Fantasy VII pennies this form?

TN: Approximately one year ago, Visual Works (a company which created the sequences kinematics of Public garden) chose FFVII as topic for the production which they were going to create. Our departments of research and development worked with them, and I have join them after a request of the producer Yoshinori Kitase. It will be published like a continuation, but at the it beginning only one soft copy was supposed being.

I can't believe they considered making a game at one point.

Yah I know. But it'd be nice wouldn't it? This does cement Naora as one of the best art directors in the industry. Everytime he works on a game (or in this case a movie) the art direction is just incredible.

 

[Stele]

Just by seeing the trailer, I could already tell it'll have a glut of that Japanese-patented melodrama. I find that shit pretentious as hell, but I'll see it once.

 

[Kobun Heat]

All I know is that if we get games in this style next gen, i'll be very happy.

When video games become completely non-interactive instead of mostly non-interactive like they are this gen.
