[General Discussion] FFVII Compilation Thread

On an AC-related note (now that the remake thread exists), does anyone else get headaches or feel dizzy watching this movie? The first time through I thought it was just the camerawork on the fight scenes, with all the rapid panning, zooming, and spiraling. Now I find that I can only watch maybe 10-20 minutes of any part of it before I feel funny. I'm thinking it's an uncanny-valley type of problem, occurring from my brain trying to grok the lifelike character rendering, but I always thought the uncanny valley only applied to robotics.

Maybe something to do with the detail level being so high in environments that are still clearly not real? Cognitive dissonance leading to headaches?

Weird.

How ya doing, buddy?

Actually, I downloaded the full-quality deluxe DVD rip (the 13-gig one) and split it into multiple discs (i.e. no compression, no quality loss).

Watching in progressive scan on an HDTV still made me feel funky. Oh, well.

Watched the English clip. WTF, I thought they were reanimating mouths to match English VOs? Lazy bastards.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
