and on an uncharacteristically girly note, i am going to HAVE to steal cloud's hairdo!

So, those guys with white hair could be Jenova clones as well. There were a few more pods at that facilty weren't there?
Hmm... some sort of calling together of the bits of Jenova eh?
Still, as long as Cid's in it, it'll be great. I mean, it isn't Final Fantasy if it doesn't have a Cid.

I like the idea of the return of Lucretia, it would at least give Vincent a reason to return. I doubt that it's Hojo - he was pretty much written off, and was never a particularly interesting character anyway.
We never did know what happened to Sephiroth after cloud Omni-slashed him at the end of the game. A theory was that the final Sephiroth was him without Jenova (ie powerless), and that was why the final battle was such a walkover. Maybe he's crippled and trying to regain the power that cloud took away from him.

Or maybe it's something new...

the sephiroth you fought for most of the game was not seph, but jenova in his form. the real seph is at the centre of the planet cocooned in the lifestream. when you got a wide shot of him, he had no legs.....hence possible use for a wheelchair.....

No, no, no, no, no, NO!

There really is no need for this movie.

There really is no need for this movie.

what??? the end of ff7 could qualify for shitest ending ever. you don't find out what really happenes, you don't really find out if your fight throughout the whole game has produced the desired effect and you don't find out what happens to the characters, where they go from there, how the go one with their lives, they people they become. you sort of do with cloud, maybe with tifa, but the rest of them just kind of faded away into the background....i WANT to see them again. you become so atatched to the characters and then they just dissapear in a flash of light, never to be seen again - what kind of an ending is that? i want to find out more, though i fear that once again, everyone but cloud will fade into the background and will be there purely for fighting.

>you don't really find out if your fight throughout the whole game has produced the desired effect and you don't find out what happens to the characters, where they go from there, how the go one with their lives, they people they become.

Same as any other story since the dawn of man. What's wrong with an ending that doesn't slap you down and say "LOOK! THIS IS THE WAY IT IS!"?

>i want to find out more, though i fear that once again, everyone but cloud will fade into the background and will be there purely for fighting.

So you're saying that this movie won't actually further the story on, and we won't "find out what happens to the characters, where they go from there, how the go one with their lives, they people they become."

It's just pandering to fans in the worst way possible. It's just so unnecessary.

no, i hope it will, i fear it wont.

It's just pandering to fans in the worst way possible. It's just so unnecessary.

you could claim the same about ff2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, SW, 10-2, 11, and anything that will come after. i think with ff7 fans there is a genuine curiousity about this film and what lies beyond the end of ff7. but i apologise if i came across and nuts and shout-y
