hmm ive been playing Final Fantasy 7 for at least 6-7 years now. im a really big fan of FF7 to the point that im collecting Figures of the characters i only have cloud at the moment but im thinking of getting Tifa cause she's sooo cute :D :D i hope an Aeris one is coming soon since this collection has only just come out and it's really good :D

anyways ive seen advent children and i think it's a great film

what would be better would be if they were to release the actual FF7 game out on DVD as a movie

i think that would be amazing but they would need to shorten it down a bit though

i write storys on FF7

well anyways ive gone on long enough about my love for FF7

see you guys around sometime

From Tidsu :D:D:D:D:D

Ohh Yuffie figure. Looks pretty good. Kinda prefer the custom job over it though (her face looks identical to Tifa's). But man, Koto's Yuffie looks almost like it the custom guy's Yuffie. I wonder if they hired him, or bought his sculpt.

Hey yeah, the custom Yuffie has a more upbeat face befitting her personality, but the official one is good too. I don't like her enough to warrant getting her though.

Can't wait to see the prototypes on display at the party! I want to see closeups of Reno.

New trailer is up for Crisis core, cutscenes are amazing
check youtube or here is direct downloadable link

There's something wrong with your link. I even tried to embed the video into one of my earlier posts with no success. Perhaps a ling to the page or if you could embed the video yourself would be better because I REALLY want to see the trailer.

Is this the trailer? http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions...union_id=11841
Because this trailer is pretty F'n sweet!!!

I'm not sure. Crisis Core seems to be screaming Retcon to me. It will be irritating if they try and change even more of what was previously established as canon. Still, the game itself looks kinda fun.

This link sure will work, its jump festa trailer 2007.
Too much conversation and cutscenes, it seems they are putting lot of work on story elements, can't wait. If someone come across translation please post.

I don't know what you guys are worried about. Too much conversation and cutscenes... have you even played FFVII?? Nor do I know what Retcon or this previously established canon is, but Crisis Core is shaping up to give a lot of depth to the characters that were barely mentioned or were just simple evil figures in the original game. There are lots of questions about the past acts of Shinra and it's members which is looking like Crisis Core is going to answer.

Ah, it's good to be back here. Check these out:

It'd be better if Reno had a smirk or a smile or SOMETHING, but heck, it's still awesome.

OMG AWESOME. Much WANT! Thanks for sharing! Just need a release date now. >_>

ok it's sold for me XD my god it's so cool! one of the best looking figures in that series ^^

I was going to buy the 4 FFXII one, but I guess i'll wait for Reno, Yuffie and Kadaj XD

Ohh, looks pretty good. Though, I agree with ya, Freelance Wolf, they really should have gave Reno a smirk or something. Heh, I'm sure the customer guy will be doing a head/face resculpt for him. Bleh, I really wish they gave the Play Arts line somewhat of a set scale, I hate how Cloud appears to the shortest of the lot.

Oh and I picked up those nifty Mechanical Arts, only Kadaj's bike and the Fenrir (though the other's were really nice too). Pretty nice, but for $37 a pop, they weren't really worth it. If the scale was larger (some details were missing cause of the small scale, such as the tire treads) I'd encourage the purchase, but otherwise I say save your wallet for the Play Arts figures instead. Would have been sweet if they managed to sculpted the Fenrir so that it could have the open/close fusion sword compartment.

$37 US each? Ouch. Kinda steep for such small things. I don't see any reason to get Fenrir either since you can get the much bigger (and better) one.

Cloud was already short in FFVII though, being less then 5ft, but he was about the same size as Reno in AC.... I think the fact that the Reno fig looks bigger is due to perception. He is in the foreground after all.

I saw this over at Kotaku and I thought I'd post it here for you guys to get a chuckle out off too. It's a music video for a song in Korea that Square has since sued over and won. This is a video with the live action of the music vid with the original CG movie scenes following to show what scene they're copying, because I'm sure no one here has seen the movie right ;)

YouTube Video

That video fails miserably. Music is out of order and the inclusion of the original CG ruins the whole point.

Original version is right here.

YouTube Video

I have to say beside the music, that's a really good live-edition of that scene! and I kind of love it just for that ^^ I can understand why SE sue them and probably won pretty easily too XD

edit: damn it! now I'll have this song in the head for the rest of the week >_<

Considering I could care less for Kadaj and Reno is pretty boring, given it's just a dude in a suit with a pole, I'll more than likely be just picking up Yuffie if anything from the AC Play Arts Vol.2. I would of preferred Barrett, Cid and even Red XIII for the second lineup so hopefully they'll get fair treatment next.

Also for anyone interested the Cloud Masterpiece figure is up for preorder but it'll only set you back over $320....
http://www.cornerstorecomics.com/ima...fm_cloud_L.jpg

Not interested in Yuffie, Nanaki, Barret and such.

Although MP Cloud looks cool and all, the uber high price tag scares me. At least it's not over $500 like it was supposed to be initially though.

Coincidentally, I had a dream last night and Seph was in it...

Ohh, set 2 looking good another must buy for me. Heh, the MP Cloud looks pretty good (though the goofy pose is kinda buggin' me, wish it was different), and the change to $230 is nice, but still not enough to get me to buy him. Can't wait till they make his fusion swords for the Master Arms line though.

Actually that was in CAD, surprisingly they sold pretty well at my local comic shop as there were only a few left on the pegs a week later. Heh, and I actually already have the bigger Fenrir (that boxet), just bought the smaller scale one so Kadaj's bike wouldn't get lonely.

Do they separate into the 6? I'd get it if they did.

Still expensive :D You can prolly get an actual figure for that amount.

From the prototype, it does look like it (back in San Diego's 2006 Comic Con). Originally it was scheduled to be apart of the initial Master Arms line, but I guess they scratched that as I didn't see it in Previews (just the Squall and Seifer's gunblades, Sora's Keyblade, and Vincent's Cerberus). I'm guessing they're still working on the kinks of the fusion sword (hopefully they'll fix that gap between the top 2 blades), be awesome if they end up being in the same scale used for Cloud's figure.

Haha, yea, that's why I didn't buy a set.

I like how the sword in Hantei's post above is mislabeled. It was supposed to be called the "Tsrugi" or something like that? This is the buster sword, by the way:
I know its likely not of much difference when you get right down to it, but I like things to be accurate if you're going to have them all displayed up nice like that. Of course, If I am wrong and the English translation IS "Buster Sword", then never mind! ^^;;

Also in other news, (If it hasn't been posted already), A few bits of info about Crisis Core, taken from http://www.adventchildren.net/

Further more, they (same site) have a translation of the site, or at least of the "Story Portion", you can read that bit below:



And finally, some gameplay & general game information:

Crisis Core to be released August 2 in Japan. Wonder how long it will take for a US release from there.

Genesis sounds pretty interesting, fighting him should certainly be a rush.

And good news on Reno and Rude being in Crisis Core. The game just got a whole lot better. :]

SE product blog was updated with look at the FFVII version of Aeris that'll be on display at the Square Enix Party next month:

Awesome! She looks great! Hopefully they'll include her staff, don't want her to be useless as Rinoa.
