[General Discussion] FFVII Compilation Thread

MAN, the pics of the figures at the toy fair are driving me insane. They look so awesome but I can't get any *sob!*

As for the movie, hopefully I can get it when it comes out. I was already planning on getting the Sims 2 Family Fun Pack which also comes out in April. Arrgh, decisions decisions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's a bootleg, hikarub, especially considering the amount of subtitles and lack of extras in there, but who knows.

If any Canadians are here, I'd advise getting it at amazon.ca. The special edition is 40 bucks in stores, but amazon.ca is selling it for 26.96. Sounds like a good deal to me!

A friend of mine told me that the movie was pushed back from the April release, but since I don't think anyone else here mentioned anything about it, I suspect that is not the case. If it gets delayed yet again for who-knows-what, I shall go nuts.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Man, what's up with foreign countries getting the goods first? You guys are lucky. Apparently Switzerland (could be more, but I dunno) is getting the newest Sims 2 expansions at least a week before North America.

P.S. I never knew HMV was located in any other country besides Canada!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I never buy anything without subs. I mean, there's no point of getting something if you have no idea what's going on anyway, and the fact that not everyone can watch Japanese DVDS on their DVD players. I downloaded it when it came out, and have been waiting for the NA DVD ever since, haha...I'll be picking it up in May sometime, hopefully sooner than later :3

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I got my copy today at Sam the Record Man. All you Canadians should get it from the actual stores instead of online, as it's only 24.99 as opposed to 26.99.

Unfortunately, I started watching it a little bit late, and I have an early work shift, so I have to stop it. I hate having to stop a movie midway through it. I don't know if it's just me, but watching it on DVD is making me appreciate it more than when I first saw it back when the Japanese version was out.

I didn't watch the dub, and I don't intend to. It's not because I hate dubs, however. There's several dubbed anime I like. It's only because I love Morikubo Shoutarou's voice XD He voices Kadaj and Shikamaru from Naruto.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've taken in total, 363 AC screengrabs with PowerDVD. I have no life XD I'm SUCH a screengrab whore, as I do this with every DVD I have, although I've never taken this much from a single DVD before.

PS. I never noticed the Loveless thing too. Thanks for a pic.

How ya doing, buddy?

Alas, you replied when I was already in bed, so here is the link:

Password is ferrets.
Go to the Advent Children link, which should be right at the top of the page. I've put the images in separate categories. There may be some that are in the wrong category, so it's best to look through all of them. It has taken me quite a long time to get them all. I guess I went overboard (363 pics haha), but there were just so many cool scenes. I consider AC to more than just a 'movie.' I think it's a work of art. Feel free to use any of them for avatars and sigs or whatever. I don't mind.
Oh, there were some problems with viewing the them last night. I told one of my friends to look at them, and she said she got "too many connections' sometimes.

I also really enjoy Nomura's redesigns for AC, as well as Leon's new look in KH II. Everyone looked great. I'm probably the only one who didn't really like the FFVII designs.

FELIPE NO

I don't know where everyone else lives, but there's a gazillion copies here in Toronto.

I still think FFVIII's Liberi Fatali beats any arrangement of One-Winged Angel any day. Not that OWA is bad though. I enjoy anything with a Latin chorus in it :3 In fact, if you know any other track from a game like that, then be sure to pass it my way.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I actually did it. I bought the US version of the AC Cloud figure on Ebay. I've never purchased an FF item before, mainly because a) my city sucks, and b) they're expensive online. I decided to go ahead and splurge this time around. Heck, it's not fun if you don't treat yourself to something nice now and then, so I can't wait to have something cool to put on my dresser. I bet nobody here cares, but I'm pretty happy with myself :D

My next splurge will be towards that new Squall figure coming soon, seeing as how he's my favourite VG/FF character and all.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I shudder to think how much such an item would cost if it existed XD

Actually though, If I did purchase ANY FF Merchandise, I'd like to get either Squall's Neckalce or Tidus's. Are there any US Online Stores that sell them? I wouldn't want to lose an arm and a leg in shipping fees If I did buy one :p

I'd love to get Squall's necklace, but I'm not used to wearing them. My neck starts aching really badly when I tried. You're lucky you live in the States. You don't have to pay the outrageous shipping that we Canadians have to pay, and we're only right below you : /

You can try places like toysnjoys, play-asia, etc, for them.

Definitely gonna pick up the FF8, FF10, and any other subsequent lines they're going to release (which will be FF12, FF13, as images of em were already released). These are really quality figures by Kotobukiya. Also gonna pick up the KH2 figures too. Ahh, this is gonna make a big hole in my pocket.

Where did you get all that money? :( Dang, I want that Fenrir, and a KH II Leon figure if one actually existed. They never made one for KH, so I doubt they will do anything this time.

How come they make those expensive statues of Cloud fighting Seph for both AC and FFVII, yet there's nothing for FFVIII. That sucks. Would be cool to get one of Squall fighting Seifer.

Oh, and my Cloud shipped yesterday :D Can't wait to get it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh gosh, I love posing my figures too. I got a couple here, plus more I can show from home if people want to see them. I love these figs. I love them so much that I'm using them as my current avatar/sig theme, haha :D

Note: These pics are thumbnails. Click on them to see the full sized image.





I wish they made more figs though. Last I heard, they were 'considering' making a Kadaj fig, but geez, I want more people!

Kinda sucks Rinoa doesn't have her weapon OR Angelo. I wonder why.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oooh yeah, I told myself I'd get Squall no matter what as soon as I saw pics of it. It's a billion times better than the Bandai ones released years ago. He's my favourite game character too. I'm going to be getting Reunion in July, seeing as how there's English translations for once, and Fenrir a tad later.

I'm planning on taking pics of Squall and Cloud doing stuff, and no, I'm not doing yaoi :D

I'd like to see figs of Quistis, Laguna, Reno (heck, throw in Rude too since they're a pair), Zack, and Kadaj. They should sculpt his bike too if they do make him.

Most amazing jew boots

GREAT IDEA! I actually never thought of that. I have the Bandai Squall, Rinoa and Seifer. I can't wait til I get Fenrir for some cool posing, but I'm getting the book first. Poor Fenny will have to wait.

I find it annoying that I can't have PlayArts Squall hold the Revolver with both hands. His gunblade is designed for two hands, so I find it just baffling. To top it off, Cloud's sword is designed for one hand use, yet the figure allows him to hold it with both hands. That makes no sense.

Here are some more images:


Best buds





I was speaking idiomatically.

I got that book too from yesasia last week. Once I found out it was billingual, I knew I had to get it. It smells nice and has lots of interesting info :3

Is it worth it to get the Ultimania Omega (that other book)? It's not billingual, but I heard there's some concept artwork in it. I wonder if it's worth the trouble to get it if you don't know a lick of Japanese.

BIG EDIT: I got Fenrir today! It's huge!!! Fenrir AND the box is huge!! It's hard getting Cloud to SIT on the bloody thing, though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ooooh I'd like to request that! II can judge whether to get it or not from the scans, as I'm not actually a big FFVII fan, just someone who appreciates AC a lot. If it's anything like the Reunion Files though, I'll get it.

As for the Japanese text, there is a translation online that I conveniently forgot to mention. It's located here. Still, I wish I could the translation in an actual book.

FELIPE NO

I really dig Fenrir. It's bloody HUGE. No Cloud figure can be complete without it.

Oh, and that Cloud statue you've posted looks like, really nice, but then I happened to look at the asking price. Maaaaan...I'd like to see more PlayArts from the AC line but I don't see that ever happening anytime soon.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Why don't you just get the PlayArts Seph and Cloud? I don't have Seph, but Cloud's awesome. At least they won't break your bank :D

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh! I thought you didn't have any figs from your 'never would have think tht I would start to buy figure from video game' comment. Never mind then.

I dunno though. I think I like the PlayArts' Cloud's hair more than the other fig, but the arms on the 1/4 figure look a lot more sturdy since he can actually hold his sword with one hand. Wow. Yeah, too bad about the hideous price tag. I'd get it if it was less than a 100, and I doubt we'll ever see any price drop.

Update! Okay, I take it back. The bigger statue has some very nice hair too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Really? I saw close-ups of the Rinoa and Selphie ones, and they looked pretty darn good to me. I only have Cloud + Fenrir and Squall. I don't want anyone else :D

I do agree with you on one thing though. I never thought I'd get these figures as well. Importing stuff is usually expensive for me, so I never get anything even though I'd like to.. Squall's my fave FF character, so as soon as I heard of a new fig coming out, I knew I just had to have it. Same with Cloud, 'cause I really really liked his AC design.

Don't care for the FFXII figs, but that FFXIII one looks very nice.

TAKING PICS OF FIGS IS FUN!


This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Coolest darn AC related item I've seen. It looks just so accurate and crap. That'd look awesome on display :3

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'd be interested in getting it if I was getting a blu-ray player anytime soon, which I'm not : /

I'd like to see a link to this news though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yok yok, I question the source of that statement.

Assuming that's even true, however, I'd be disappointed 'cause the Japanese voices were great, particularly Kadaj's. : /

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Aren't Blu-Rays able to hold a lot more than a DVD? I don't see how they can't add another language onto it. Just how many added scenes are there anyway?

FELIPE NO

No purchase confirm for me :(

My figure space is like, pretty limited, unless I dump some into the closet to make room. Gah, it sucks living in an apartment.

I can only imagine what the other figs will look like. I have an online friend who'd probably snatch up Reno.

P.S. I'd like to see a FFVIII movie :( A remake of VIII isn't really necessary.

When are they coming out?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Can't let this thread die, see?

It looks like nobody has posted this yet, but here's some, er, rather small pics of Reno's prototype. I wish they was larger, but oh well. I wouldn't mind having one in my room.



Enjoy.

Oh, and here's a funny size comparison between PA Cloud and the Mechanical Arts Fenrir.


Oh yeah, they released a new Tiamat figure in the Master Creatures line. She's a repaint of the Bahamut fig, and it looks so badass. Lemme pull up a pic.



Jam it back in, in the dark.
