But most of the publicity about the movie is going to Dr Aki Ross though. Even the local magazine here has a picture of Aki in a string bikini that was said to be featured on the front cover of Maxim!!! Seems another Final Fantasy movie is in the works too. Different story and charaters.
Oh yeah. It is also rumored that the Dr Aki Ross will be like any normal actress. She will not be restricted to just being Aki Ross or just in Final Fantasy movies but may also be in other 3D movies as well!!!
Way to go!!!!!!Eeeehawwwww!!!!! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Japanese usually have awesome ship designs in their movies ( anime I mean ). Many of my ships are inspired from there. Mhh, one day I'll do the Captain Harlock's Arcadia...

Seems like the smart move to me. I hear the movie budget got up to $140 million, so I imagine reusing the character could save a lot of money in the next one. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Nothing about any of the other characters/weapons/ships/story bore any resemblance whatsoever to any of the FF games. Cid shows up one way or another as a scientist/airship builder in every one of the Final Fantasy titles, he's even a playable character in VII
Don't forget FFII, playable there too (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Ships like in Sol Bianca are really impressive (even if the anime itself is quite dull).
Post by: morris13 on July 13, 2001, 03:34:00 pm
I've been thinking about trying to make a model of the Sol Bianca. It'd be a pretty big challenge because the ship is so complex and curvy, but it might be fun.

Lei Wulong was my primary character for about two years (mental note - I kick *** ). I came second in a tournament in N. Ireland (some guy with a programmable pad beat me and nobody said a thing?!?).
Now it's Nina and Brian Fury, both are immensly lethal. The thing that killed the game play IMO was the lack of reversals for all characters, Krap, I could write a scientific paper on this (mental note - Shuddup Martin, you're beginning to bore the non believers).

FF7 is the BEST game in the series, with far more gameplay than FF8. I'm not sure about the PC version though, but the game is certainly worth getting (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Had it, played it, beat it, sold it =)
Its great, I liked it a lot better than FF8 OR 7. It has some really funny and pretty movie sequences, and the gameplay is pretty good too. They do a really good job of forcing you to use all your characters fairly evenly, and there aren't too many of them like there are in some games.
Honestly I didn't like 8 as much as 7... 8 was just TOO FREAKING EASY. I swear, most of the bosses in the game you can finish off with ONE limit break from Irvine, its just stupidly easy.
Post by: Top Gun on July 17, 2001, 02:40:00 pm
I like the optional events in FF7 which are longer and more enjoyable than those in FF8. You do need to do every optional event in FF7 to fully understand the story as opposed to FF8 where they are more optional.

I think you're confused. Emerald weapon is in FF7 which I said WASN'T as stupidly easy. FF8 just has the Ultima (or Omega? i don't remember...) weapon at the top of the final boss' tower, and that IS stupidly easy if you know how. The thing about those uber-boss fights is that generally, there's only ONE way you can do it. If you do it that way, its easy. If you don't, its impossible. Against the final weapon in FF8 you HAVE to use Holy Wars and other invulnerability tricks or theres just no way to kill it.

Well, given that the earth good/weapons bad 'bull****' is the main plot element in ALL the final fantasy games, I very much doubt that Sutherland OR baldwin had anything to do with it. Its MUCH more likely that they worke on this project because it already HAD that kind of viewpoint.

oh and for cloud to learn omnislash, you need to get all his limit breaks first...basically to get the first limit breaks u have to get a certain number of kills then to get the second limit break, u need to use the first one a number of times........
