.... Is this Remaster different? Is this better than the Sony one?

The picture example looks better from what I see. But I dunno. Is this worth getting?

For $100? Can't be. I admit, I want that pamphlet, but damn. Lol Not that badly.

 

[Strangelove]

I can't believe it's been 16 years....

16 years ago that one film brought so much and so many people together.... Time flies and I feel old

 

[Keveh Kins]

That's made me feel ancient as balls. I remember how excited I was coming from the DVD shop (Hah! Ancient as balls is right) with my shiny new copy.

The remake series will never make FFVII look as "next-gen" as Advent Children. Almost otherworldly the visual jump between 1997 and 2005. Plus the style. My god the style. Cloud, Tifa, and Kadaj's designs are particularly memorable to me, but the whole cast receives a great modern twist. Nomura was in his element. Special mention to the incredible camera angles and scene transitions as well. And personally, I love the direction they took the world after Meteorfall.

I genuinely feel that, yes, Advent Children is "good actually".

I will always unabashedly defend and prefer Cloud and Tifa’s AC outfits over their OG ones. They just look so cool and slick in them, they really rock black well. The film poster of Tifa is still one of my all time favorite renders of her character. It’s so swirly and epic.

Didn't the Remake devs say they initially considered using Barret's AC model (or parts of it) before deciding to completely remake his model from scratch? That would imply they still have at least some AC assets right?

Well this does look like AC Barret's face.

I just finished TURKS -The Kids are Alright- yesterday (don't judge me, I didn't really want to read it because the Cases of... aren't really great litterature ok, but ToTP actually made me want to read it), and I truly think that the ending of this novella is the true ending of AC/C. There's just no ifs or buts, it's something they obviously couldn't do in the movie - lol NPCs no one knows about but they're part of their daily lives - but to me it falls straight into it.

I also really liked the description of the TURKs, Evan made me laugh because of how similar he is to Cloud (it's like a script commentary from Nojima himself really), and all in all, this is a great way to cement the story between the end of FFVII OG and the end of ACC. I even spotted a few characters from this novella that we could see pop up in Remake (in Nibelheim and Icicle Inn). it was just an enjoyable read, and I put my comments about it here because it ties so much into ACC IMHO. If you have only 2 novellas to read to understand ACC, then certainly CoT and TKaA are the to go books (since Cases of Lifestream are so short I don't even count them).

 

[Makoeyes987]

You'd probably enjoy Case of Shinra if you enjoyed TKaA so much

One day they're going to make OVAs of these.

One day. Hopefully.

 

[ForceStealer]

Case of Shinra is excellent. Greatly improves ACC, imo.

(Probably the best TLS audiobook, too)

We found this old interview with @odekopeko

It's a short burb from the PS2 era xD It's for AC even lol. There are more so we'll look into it, but this is really nice as it gives an in sight on how they saw Tifa and her relationship with Cloud and the kids.

 

[Wol]

I always though "dilly dally shilly shally" sounded therapeutic.

Now I know why.

 

[Eerie]

When I look at that picture of her thanking Aerith, I can't help but think that she too needed some sort of unburdening. Her feeling Aerith's presence, that she is still by their side helping in her own way, is exactly that.

Also Nojima's comment made me understand that her "complicated feelings" towards Aerith are also akin to guilt, just like Cloud, although in much less amount.
