Yes....and damn. If there's any chance of me understanding it then there would have to be at least japanese subtitles and I'd have to pause it on every line as I can't read it fast enough, lol.

Someone online is bound to upload english subtitles to it after the whole thing is released. As for the actual OVA itself is just bothers the crap out of me that it's about Denzel who in my opinion is pretty insignificant given the fact that he just popped out of nowhere.

[quote author=Ryushikaze link=topic=537.msg19460#msg19460 date=1234967521]I'm just noting that it might be non CGI based on the cover. I wouldn't doubt either direction at this point, but I simply wanted to note the oddity of the cover and what that might mean.

I think you might be right. I just noticed that it seems to be 2D as well. I hadn't noticed that.

I see a Denzel centered game not too far off in the future.

Tell me about it.
At first I rejected this idea, simply because I don't think he is interesting(or popular) enough to have a game centered on him.
But watching these new ACC scenes centered on Denzel, and an entire OVA dedicated to him(when they could have picked any of the other characters from "On the Way to a Smile"
, shows me that S-E is very interested on his character. And giving the fact that Square already created FF titles centered around "the new generation of heroes"(the OVA of FFV centered on Bartz's descendant, and FFIV-The-After centered on Cecil's son), I'm not so sure anymore that they won't make a game about him.

That would be fantastic. I really don't want a remake yet, the original is fine. Doing a ten or so year later Denzel story would allow for all sorts of character development with the original cast and give us a new wave of heroes and villains to enjoy.
It's probably just wishful thinking, but SE knows millions would buy a game in that form.

I wonder if Cloud and Tifa will be a couple by then. Isn't that what most people want?

I don't think it's really been tried, apart from FFIV: The After, and that's a cell phone game.
And we're talking ten years later, so Cloud and the Avalanche gang would be in their 30's-40's. The basic idea is to tell the story of the new generation (Denzel, Marlene, new chars.) while providing a nice epilouge for the established heroes. It's a direction I doubt they'll take, but one that would keep the FFVII world from getting stagnant. IE, you can only see Cloud vs. Sephiroth so many times before it starts to lose its luster.

I think you need a popular, familiar staple like Cloud there, otherwise the audience won't be interested in just Denzel or Marlene. Stick Cloud there as a mentor to appease the masses, and then they can do whatever they want with the young'uns.
Besides who said Sephiroth has to be there? He should be as dead as shit by that point.

I don't give a shit about the "new generation" and plenty of heroes fight on well into their later years. Shit reason for the "new generation" to take on the fight.
The whole point of Avalanche fighting is so the next generation won't have to live their lives that way.
I'm sick of people trying to make these minor, after thought characters important. I DON'T GIVE A FLYING SHIT ABOUT THEM.
THIS IS FF7, IT SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT SOME SHITTY CHARACTER MADE UP FOR A DULL AS FUCK MOVIE. The idea of Marlene becoming a fighter or whatever is absurd and shits all over her too.
And millions buying a game about Denzel? I completely doubt that. This is FF7, few want a game about characters they don't give a shit about. FF7 is almost always identified by Cloud, Sephiroth, and Avalanche. SE knows this.
They're not going to fuck with that.

I would hate if they made a game about Denzel. I don't hate the character, nor do I really like him, but a game about him? AC was about Cloud, DoC was about Vincent, CC was about Zack...Even BC has special episodes for original characters, and the Turks have been part of Shinra from the beginning. All games use characters from FFVII, or at least a concept of it. Marlene doesn't seem like a fighter at all, even if she is little, and Denzel is getting an OVA. I rather just leave it at that.
Besides, Cloud would only be thirty-something by the time Denzel/Marlene would begin fighting. Barret and Cid were already in their 30s; I don't see what makes Cloud and Tifa any different.

Why do we even need a new generation when the old generation is currently in their mid-twenties? And no, I don't want a time jump ten or twenty years ahead in a sequel =o

Well Hokuto no Ken started when Kenshiro was 25(ish), followed by two little kids. Then after the first series, they flashed forward 10 years and the kids are now fully-fledged members of the liberation army and fight alongside him. There's also a bit of a love triangle later on, but I don't think that would happen with Cloud, Denzel, and Marlene. But yeah, HNK is infinitely awesome so it can pull off just about anything.

And then we must wonder...What was Genesis doing all that time? (Assuming, of course, that the sequel we're talking about is the Genesis one, and not one that SE may make afterwards)
And a sequel jumping 10 years would be too much, I agree. There'd be so much time in between, and if Cloud and Tifa can't fight 'cause they're "too old", then what characters do we have left? Red XII and Cait Sith? The rest of the party would be in their 30s/40s/50s, with the exception of maybe Yuffie. All other characters, except moogle girl, would suffer the same fate.
Time skips can, of course, work. It depends on how the creators execute it, whether main characters from before would serve a nice enough role, and if people actually cared about the main characters. And I honestly don't think anyone cares so much about Denzel or Marlene, except for the cute/family factor.
