First Impressions

[ForceStealer]

Oh and Tifa, she has new lines when on the phone with Denzel, and the scene "where Cloud saves her" is a little longer than you might think, she talks immediately before that with Denzel. I also love that when a Shadowstalker attacks them again she shouts "Enough!" as she kicks it away.

I also want to further explain how much more terrible geostigma looks. It's gross, people are dying in alleyways and the general populace are afraid of the infected. The moogle girl's brother is heartbreaking. (Ruvy also looks disgusting in the OVA after she dies)

 

[Selphie Tilmitt]

Is the scene from the original script really there? o_o When all the phones start ringing and the children head for the church is that supposed to be it?

Thanks~

 

[Dark and Divine]

Yeah, the scene with Moogle Girl's brother seems to be very sad...

Wich reminds me...

Is the Negative Lifestream depicted exactly the same way than before or is there any difference?

 

[Makoeyes987]

Well I'm glad everything else is so good. I can't wait to see it myself.

If I were in Edge, I'd bottle up the black stuff from Geostigma victims, put it in a water balloon and throw it at random bystanders.

Oh! And one more thing. Do you think that move Cloud did from the trailer was Omnislash?

Did it count to 14 in the movie or was it as short as in the trailer?

 

[ForceStealer]

Not 14 slashes, but it was longer, the trailer was cut just where Suzaku (or was it X?) guessed. There's about 3 more slashes and Sephiroth knocks him back from a different angle than the trailer had you think. But Sephiroth DID seem to have every move read as though he'd seen it before. But I know that doesn't make it Omnislash. ...and damn does Sephiroth fuck him up after that....seriously, take what ever you're picturing and make it more violent.

Yes the phone scene is in there, you don't hear what's on the other end of the line though. And the Negative Lifestream looked the same, I think there was more of it though, but I could be wrong about that.

 

[Katrak]

Agreed on Ruvy. That was one gruesome death. Exactly as described in the novella, but all the more grotesque in visuals.

 

[ForceStealer]

The Reminiscence of the Compilation was cool too. It stuck all the big story points of the games together in chronological order. I couldn't read any of it, of course, but I'm a big enough of a nerd to know what's going on You see a lot of Before Crisis too...

 

[Makoeyes987]

That doesn't really seem like Omnislash but I guess we'll see or something

Btw, you made a mistake. The move Cloud used to kill Sephiroth is Omnislash Version 6

Is V. 6 that much more different than five? I haven't looked at it much save for one pic.

 

[Dark and Divine]

That doesn't really seem like Omnislash but I guess we'll see or something

Maybe it's Omnislash V.2? Or V.3? Or V.4?

 

[ForceStealer]

Is it actually called 6 or is that our doing? The move isn't too-too different. It activates while the two are bound up, adding to Sephiroth's 'wtf' factor. And there are more hits. There are the ones that were already there, then it shows him go up to get the last sword, there are a few more hits, and the final strike.

And, as you saw, he's lit up like a freaking christmas tree in a nuclear power plant.

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention earlier that Fenrir gets all scraped up. Cool, but it made me sad Also, Bahamut Shin is ugly under the face armor.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Yes, the creators literally call it Omnislash V. 6.

And I figured it'd be longer. Not only that but doing it then really is awesome. That definitely would take him by surprise.

Also, did Sephiroth freeze in place out of shock or some force held him there? And how fast was Cloud moving?

 

[Dark and Divine]

Sorry to bomb you with questions, Forcestealer, but...

How much time the two are bound up?

Does Cloud uses V.6 right after they clash or is there a tension rising moment?

 

[ForceStealer]

No, he wasn't frozen in place, they just made it clearer how fast Cloud was moving. Sephiroth looks all around trying to find him, and once the first hit connects, its over.

There's a good second and a half to two seconds of tension They glare at each other, Sephiroth smiling, then all the swords pop out and Sephiroth looks around him, confused. Then looks back to Cloud who lights up and speeds off.

 

[lolo]

question to those who have seen it:

are there no new scenes of Rufus without the veil???? *__* nothing after he gets cured?

 

[Makoeyes987]

LOL I bet Sephiroth felt like shit losing like that. Just he takes his eyes off him for a split second, noticing the sword going nuts. And then its over. Wow.

I seriously can't wait to see this.

 

[A]

Yeah, Ruvy looked pretty gross... by the way, I posted a Case of Denzel thread. Thanks for answering all of our questions ForceStealer! ~

 

[ForceStealer]

question to those who have seen it:

are there no new scenes of Rufus without the veil???? *__* nothing after he gets cured?

A very brief one, and its before he's cured. After the SHM and Cloud speed off, all the Turks and Rufus gather in the street. (It also shows Tseng and Elena run out to fire the nets, rather than them just appearing)

And don't mention it A, it was almost hard for me to sit and play the FFXIII demo because I wanted to come on here and gush about it, lol

 

[A]

Was the overall Safe and Sound song good?

 

[ForceStealer]

Yes! I was taken aback. Calling was fine and all, but I wouldn't listen to it on its own. I really like this song - catchy. I really hope there's a full new soundtrack, the rearranged music is great. As is the stuff they put in the completely new scenes. And I really liked hearing the Nibelheim theme

 

[Makoeyes987]

Thanks a lot, enjoy your FFXIII copy! I really want to play mine but its still shipping to me T_T

 

[A]

Ooh, yeah, the Nibelheim theme. What difference did you feel between the Water theme in the original and the Nibelheim theme here?

 

[ForceStealer]

Well the Nibelheim theme has a much less jarring beginning. So its less weird when it just starts when Cloud passes out (which made a lot of people I showed the first movie to laugh). And it has more of a connection to Cloud and Tifa, so I liked it.

 

[FlowerGirl]

O_O I cant wait for this movie My copy is on it way! and Tifa sound awsome girl kick more ass then anybody and the fight between Cloud and Sephiroth sounds like A must see!! though i'm sad they once again did nothing with Aerith figures.. but at least Zack got a stronger role! He got fuck out of in the old one.

 

[A]

Oh, great to hear! Thanks! Nibelheim seems much more fitting too.

Oh, and was the Tifa / Loz scene better done?

O_O I cant wait for this movie My copy is on it way! and Tifa sound awsome girl kick more ass then anybody and the fight between Cloud and Sephiroth sounds like A must see!! though i'm sad they once again did nothing with Aerith figures.. but at least Zack got a stronger role! He got fuck out of in the old one.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy about what they did to Zack.

 

[BWAngel]

On Marlene, her recast (in English) is fantastic! I never really had much of a problem with her voice before, but her new one can ACT. Her delivery is better than some of the adults, I wholeheartedly approve of that casting change..

So there is English subbing? Ssswwweeeet!!!
