[General Discussion] FFVII Compilation Thread

Crap, I thought that was official for a second there.

And there was mention of a "Compilation of FFVII" line of figures in the works, so Yuffie is still a possibility. I'm hoping for Kadaj and his brothers, along with DoC figures (especially Shelke).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Didn't the anniversary already pass in Japan? I keep forgetting the time difference between them and us.

Also, if I had to predict a time for any major announcement, it would be 7/7/07. It's too good a date to not use on the number one series with a 7 in the name.

FELIPE NO

Or it could be a sneak peek at the Remake.

well it COULD

I won't hide the fact that I'm very curious how they're going to do a "realistic" figure of Tifa in her original outfit. Hopefully it won't be a step backwards after her AC look.

Also, very glad Yuffie and Kadaj are finally getting their due.

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

I've seen the Monster figurines in a local store the other day. They're much smaller than I imagined, but have quite a bit of detail (the Kefka one is just freaky looking). The $20 price was a bit steep, though. $5 or $10 cheaper and I would've bought one.

Well it's basically going to be AC Tifa only in FFVII garb so it won't be too drastic a change.

That image right there is hard to picture. I think it would be great if they took the old outfits but made some updates to them, like how Cloud looked in the PS3 demo. And while I've stayed away from "boring" figures like Rinoa and Yuna, which have no real poseable joints, I might purchase the Aerith if it looks as good as her demo counterpart.

Weren't the FFXII figures supposed to be out this month?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Exactly. It's hard to picture it from that one shot (it even looks like a lower quality CG model, same for everyone else), so I hope they do a good job with it. If so, then I'd want them to make figures for everyone else in their old duds, although they still need to release the rest of their AC counterparts. Not that Red, Cait or Vincent need two kinds of figures.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not if it's overpriced. And I have a feeling it will be.

If it's the same price as the others though ($20), I might cave in; this is by far the best of the Monster figures so far.

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

A member from ac.net managed to get the box set early, and posted her impressions here.

The Tifa and Denzel short stories are collected in a small paperback book, with reportedly great translations. There is also a brand new short story featuring Barret (nice).

Unfortunately, Last Order wasn't dubbed, and instead is kept subtitled. Very lame. I'm going to hold out for the Blu Ray release instead, and hope that the paperback is included in that one, too.

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

Purchase confirmed.

Also, a recent interview on FFVersusXIII has Nomura stating that once he finishes that game, his next project will likely be either KHIII or "an FF remake".

Asshole. Like we don't know what FF he's talking about.

Spoiler:

Watch it be FFVIII.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That Reno's going to be great for poses.

Also, Tiamat is a she?

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.

Most amazing jew boots

These sort of went unnoticed during the party, but sculpts of Cloud and Tifa in their original outfits have been revealed.









Frankly, I'm a little disappointed. When I first heard about these figures, I was given the impression that they would take the AC models of their bodies, and slightly modify the original outfits on them. Instead, these figures look to be keeping their original proportions, just slightly taller. Cloud is back to looking scrawny in both his neck and limbs while having a lanky torso, and while Tifa is better proportioned than previous works, overall she has too much of an anime doll look compared to her AC look.

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

I had that concern as well, but I was hoping for a sort of middle ground; keep the more realistic body types but update the old outfits accordingly. Like the Tech Demo.

This just feels like a case of same-old, same-old, a step backwards. But maybe they'll look better once they're colored.

Edit: There's some more pics here; the figures look a bit better based on the angles. There's also Gabranth's helmet, a lovely Aerith praying mini statue of some sort and....Tactics figures!?
