Brilliant, one of the best DVD's i,ve bought. I dont see whats wrong with the story, i liked it.
-
It's a cool movie, I liked it a lot too... :nod:
-
same here, that DVD is truly one genuine gem in my DVD collection :nod:
-
What kind of extras does the DVD have?
-
Good CGI, but the plot was only so-so IMHO...I guess we'll just have to wait for AOTC :drevil:
-
AOTC?

http://www.starwars.com/episode-ii/
-
Ah, you meant When Clones Attack... :D :p
-
The DVD has too much to list.(Well the bonus DVD anyway). I,ve not checked any of it out yet though. I think the plot was original and very cool.
-
Making of and that kind of stuff or cool extra scenes? :D

which one... it has 2 DVD's
the one that has the movie has in fact the movie twice, exept that the "extra" version shows how the models have "evolved" from box shaped figures into quite realistic ones... I can't explain it better in english :o
the other DVD has quite a lot of stuff in it :nod:
Comments
Documentary
Art
Bloopers
etc.
etc.
etc.
and "Thriller" :D
-
Kewl. Gotta get it now. The problem will be to find a Region 1 DVD around here... stupid regional settings.
-
Bloopers? *perks up* :D
-
You should have this very funny sequence, the characters of the movie replaying the clip of Thriller ( Mickael Jackson) :nod:

I know a place that should have it... the question is if I'll have time to go after it.

I enjoyed the Aki Ross bikini video. :)
The FF/Michel Jackson Helloween video is also pretty good.

This is why you get a DVD player with regional coding bypass in it :D
-
I got my DVD player today, it plays MP3s as well.
-
Where the hell are those Face Wraparounds on the bonus CD?
And the best bit on the whole DVD is the outtakes. Like when Gray tries to jump through the window or when he trips and blows Akis brains out.

I don't think they make PS2s with regional bypass systems. ;)
-

If it's ANYTHING like the rest of the FFs... all you have to do is play it, frame by frame, another ten times to yourself, and you'll understand all the plot has to offer. Bonus characters, limit breaks, everything. :D

Hey, I liked VII a lot. :D

played the demo on PC. Man I hate when I'm thrown in fights w/o a single warning
-
That's the fun of it. Wait till you get to all the high-power enemies and super attacks... it's damn fun. And the storyline, of course, is brilliant. :)

I won't - I just don't get a DVD player 'cause I don't want one. Not right now anyway - I'll wait till I get to a new apartment to set up a kickass home theater system. ;)

IMHO the story was one of the really good things about the movie, i guess its something they took from the games.
-
FF VII was the gayest FF ever.
FF VIII is one of my favorates
FF IX is decent.
FF X is pretty good.
-
Bah, FFIV was the best ever! The latest ones just have better graphics... :p
-
I have FFIV on a SNES emulatir simewhere...it's pretty addictive ;)
-

FF2: See above
FF3: The grandaddy of FFV
FF4: Nice :yes: love it - a classic
FF5: Major Suckage - right here
FF6: Great, Great and Great - Love the 4 character Ultima rounds :D

hey! don't diss MysticQuest, it's the only console RPG I played ( and I enjoyed it, too), on gameboy :)
-
It seems like the only word to decribe FF IX is 'decent'.
-
FF9 was decent, it was set in the past and thus not as good as the others IMO.

Um... Final Fantasy MysticQuest was a console title. You may be thinking of FinalFantasy Adventure or FinalFantasy Legends. Neither series was actually Final Fantasy.
One was actually Seiken Densetsu (FF Adventure). Secret of Mana and Legend of Man (and the fan translated Seiken Densetsu II) were other games from this series. Common elements were the Mana Tree, the Mana Fortress, the Gemma Knights, 'action' oriented game play and 'companion' characters. Square of America took this style of game and produced the unrelated (beyond basic style) Secret of Evermore. Notably Secret of Evermore was the first time Nintendo, on either side of the ocean, used Silicon Graphics machines to design in game elements. They hyped this entirely too much.
The other I cannot recall what series Final Fantasy Legends was in Japan, but it is one of my favorites. I own all of them around here somewhere. :)
Final Fantasy V was an absolute masterwork of a game, in my opinion. It was one of Square's 'system' games in the FF series. The system it pioneered saw reuse in, among other things, Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy X.
Final Fantasy IX was a great game, but it was just a 'story' game and did not seek in any way to innovate, but rather to celebrate all the games that came before it. In this, it succeeded quite well, containing many back references, both visually and audibly. The only things I didn't like about FFX was how easy it was (way way too easy) and the Star Wars quote. That just didn't seem to fit.
Oh, and, in my opinion, no Final Fantasy will ever outdo Final Fantasy VI for raw emotional power, storytelling, epic sweep and pure granduer. It also had kickass game play. Final Fantasy X comes close on the everything except epic sweep and gameplay. It has Granduer, emotional power and storytelling aplenty. :)

You're missing out on a lot :D

Well here's the list of decency:
1. soso plot
2. nice characters - some of them
3. No Uber-spells (Arc sucks, so does Melton)
4. Bleah
That sums it up :p
FF9 was decent, it was set in the past and thus not as good as the others IMO.
Try Chrono Cross - it was kind of a mix of future and past (well... sort of)
-
the one I played was called secret of mana, you could name your character and his g/friend, funny :)

But FFV lacked a story that, well, actually made me cry or go all emotional - the lack of distinct uses of classes in an effective way detracted too...
But the system was great - though I don't see any similarities between X and V...
FFX was easy - Swing for... 40,000 damage OH YEAH! :D
VI was great... really great, so great I played through it three times (not done with the 3rd)

FFV was, like I said, a system game. FF1 lacked an emotional story too, but its still a great game.
The Sphere Grid in FFX is the Job System with a cosmetic face lift. You earn AP in both systems to allow you to progress to different skills. In both systems, you are able to make jumps between the jobs. Doing so stops your advancement on that job and starts it on another. Final Fantasy X uses Friend/Return/BlackMagic/WhiteMagic/Special spheres for doing exactly this. Elements of the job system carried over into FF6 as well, but only in the Esper's growing abilities.
-
FF7 was emotional.
-
Eh.
In my opinion, FF 8 is more emotional than FF 7.

Well... I'd say that FFX is inspired but I wouldn't go far as say based - in my mind the Sphere Board is a bit different. ;)
BTW: FF8 was way more character - character.

Well, on the visuals department, all FFs since VII look damn weird. :D

But it's certainly nice to look at a super-high-poly Yuna :D

The hair on the hero dude on FFX alone must have more polys than the Colossus model... :p

I was reffering to the beautiful cutscenes :p (which they used TSW technology for)

No kidding! :D It took me days to get that. I really mean, days. Ahhh, the wonders of summer holidays. Nothing to do but earn/find limit breaks. :D

I wonder how long it'll be before someone rips off TSW and makes some Aki-porn.

Let's not go there, okay? :)

Sad. You are so out of touch.
SQUARE did Aki pr0n before the movie was out. Full front nude shot of Aki, and a pic of Ash with his shirt off.
Seriously, doesn't anyone pay attention? ;)

um. No. They're not. They were shown by Square to the press to display how realistic they had gotten the skin-procedurals.
-
I meant movies.
Even if the pics are fake, the people who made them deserve to be made part of the Squaresoft team. If they're the ones that I'm thinking of then the 3d modelling of the body is excellent and worthy of the film.
EDIT: It's strange how I'll make some sarcastic, mocking comment about even the slightest little bit of strangeness but for some reason 3D porn disables my evil powers. Hmmmmmm.
