I saw the complexity in Spirits Within, and I usually watch it when they play it on TV, but the reason I think many don't see Spirits Within as a good movie, is because it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the way Final Fantasy worlds are governed. It was just a movie, movie like any other, with a rather simple theme.

Also, if you like to figure out stuff, boy you'll have a field day with this. So many things aren't explained for you in this one, I doubt you'll be able to get them. For example Materia, the importance of specific moves, anything about Jenova and its history, who the hell Aeris is, etc.

Too many things to count.

Game>Movie is my suggestion.

Hum. I'm actually playing FF7 for the first time at the moment. I'll have to check this out when I'm finished...

[color=66ff00]Yeah, I was about to start myself.

It's not so stable on 2K/XP though, I might get an emulator for my Xbox and see how well that runs.

so you mean, they don't like have unnaturaly detailed conversations about a charicter that has just been mentioned of whom they all have vast knowledge about but decide to have a five minute talk about who they are and why they are important anyway.

oh my god! I have wanted a show/movie to do this for sence ever!

and it's about a game I never played...

Seek out the PC version and thou shalt find thine answer

On a side note, we need more smilies. WS has a far better assortment.

[BlackDove]

PC version needs a bunch of patches though. Look for patches, so it works under 2kXP without the insane hiccups.

[Grey Wolf]

Mine works fine. I've heard the Chocobos may have some problems, though, but I'll approach that when I get there. I'm busy being distracted by Tactics at the moment.

[Grey Wolf]

For some reason I'm incredibly tempted to type "OMG AERIS DIES LOL" in this thread.

[pyro-manic]

If you can, get the "ultima edition" - it's got a load of patches and maps etc. bundled with it, so you don't need to hunt them down separately. It's the one I have, and it's about a gig in size. Mine seems to be running fine on XP without any patches, though the Chocobo race in the Gold Saucer seemed to run at double speed. Still manageble, though, so no real problems with it.

[Grey Wolf]

I have it sitting on a DVD. I'll reinstall it after I get done with Tactics.

[BlackDove]

Whatever you do, if you're playing it for the first time, or re-playing it, pay attention to anything regarding Jenova and Cetra.

Following a walkthrough wouldn't be bad also.

[Grey Wolf]

I used a strategy guide while going through the first time, so I caught all the Jenova references.

[Fury]

Very good movie this was, just watched it. Unfortunately since I have not played any of the FF games, I did not catch half the references in the movie.

[Grey Wolf]

Then go find FF7, either a CD, an emulator, or the Ultima Edition.

[Flipside]

Why do I keep reading the thread title as 'Advent Chicken'??

[Grey Wolf]

Because you're insane.

[Flipside]

That's it, thanks, I forgot

While I never played the FF games, I just saw this and I must say I was blown away by the sheer level of detail to the entire thing. Graphics and sound were top notch, and the tension during the fights was quite fantastic. My particular favourite being when the entire "team" shows up to help fight the Bahamut?. The level of action and the way everything carries on is superb.

A winner, even for one who doesn't know much/anything about the FF series prior to this.

Edit/Update: Glad I got that right, BD

[BlackDove]

Yeah, it's Bahamut.

Well, it's Bahamut SIN to be exact.

[Grey Wolf]

Bahamut SIN? I was honestly thinking a new Weapon, as its appearance doesn't even remotely match Bahamut, Neo Bahamut, or Bahamut ZERO.
