AKA How Cloud Got his Groove Back
So, I'd ordered my copy of Advent Children from ebgames.com, and wasn't really expecting to get it until sometime later in the week, say, Thursday. But, lo and behold, I happen to be passing through my kitchen this afternoon and what do I spy on my front porch? Why, a package from ebgames! Cue excited flailing.
I enjoyed the movie--a lot. I hadn't sought out spoilers for it, but I hadn't really bothered with avoiding them either, so I wound up having a nice sort of balance between knowing what was going to happen but not knowing any of the details--the how or the why or the when. And, well, I really wasn't expecting that much from it plotwise, so I can't really complain. Though, someone who hadn't played the game would most definately have no clue what the hell was going on...
I thought the voices were, on the whole, extremely well done. I mean they obviously weren't perfect, which is fine b/c I wouldn't expect them to be, but I seriously don't understand what so many people are bitching (or were bitching or have been bitching) about.
Edite: Just noticed something; what's with the elements (as in the periodic table's elements) being on the front cover? **raises eyebrow** I must have missed something.
Random notes that I guess could be spoilery...
Moogle doll!
Rufus Shinra is now officially my hero.
How cute is that Zack-Aerith/s conversation! "I guess they must be fond of you." Squee.
I <3 Denzel.
Loved the subtlety of Cloud-Tifa relationship.
Red XIII was robbed! What's w/ just throwing in one random line for him? That's the best they could come up with? Reeve even got a better bit of dialogue and we don't even see him! (Though I'm glad they did include at least that much of him, meaning Reeve himself.) ...But it did make me happy seeing the gang back together.
Pretty black Sephiroth angel wing!
Limit breaks=awesomness! Poor Seph just can't handle his omnislashes.
Yes, "dilly dally shilly shally" is, in itself stupid, but I really like the way RLC delievers it, so that kinda almost redeems it.
People can say what they will, but I think Cid's voice is one of my favorites. "She's a beaut!"
Reno and Rude are love. "It's Jenova's freaking head." & "Is it following us?" "I'm not looking back." And, awww, they're saving the kids!
Is Reno the one who had "crush" on Tifa? **has not actually played FFVII in a looong time** Cause if so, that makes her "Of course I remember you," line kinda sorta amusing to me.
Does that one guy (Yazoo?) have a gunblade?! **le gasp**
...And that's all I can think of for the moment. I know I'm forgetting more than a couple of things (b/c I remember remarking upon other things while I was watching... I just can't remember what they were now. At any rate, a re-watch is demanded. And I still have to explore the second and bonus disks...so I should go do that, I suppose!
