What if it had been live action?

[Tennyo]

Wait are people actually disputing the fact that Angel and Agent Booth are the same actor? :/

(who also voiced Squall in KH fyi)

Anyway, I wouldn't mind a live actually movie or something of FFVII. As long as they have good actors and make it all look nice, I'd be down.

And oh yeah, Jennifer Connelly as Tifa ftw

I once saw a pic of her in an eerily similar outfit as Tifa's FFVII outfit but now I can't find it. :/

Also, I love looking at awesome cosplay images. But yeah, sometimes when I see the really bad ones I wonder why some people even bother...

 

[Max Payne]

He's both. That just sounds silly.

 

[Isabella]

Steve Burton and Jennifer Connelly are both way too old. D:

... and that second Barret cosplayer rocks my world.

 

[looneymoon]

Red XIII scares me more than man!Tifa to be honest.

 

[Ravynne Nevyrmore]

No, we know David Boreanaz played both. The point is that he's not "that dude from Bones," he's "that dude from Buffy/Angel."

I also don't see how he would make a horrible Vincent considering Vincent and Angel are about 95% the same damn character. And too masculine? Vincent is a man. I don't see that either. Boreanaz is fairly pretty as men go.

Also, Alan Rickman is my Hojo. End of story there, too.

Well, a younger Jennifer Connelly. If we could find a girl who looks like her.

Vincent and Angel are pretty much the same personality-wise, especially Angel in first 3 seasons of Buffy. However... imagining Angel in the Vincent outfit is...
Plus, Boreanaz doesn't look right with long hair, imo.

Family?

Totally not srs, btw.

Luckily he went on to be an actual character who disclosed his feelings, and acted friendly with his close people. Unlike someone other character I know.

It wasn't until his own show that Angel become an interesting character.

Jennifer Connelly is fail btw.

 

[Makoeyes987]

You actually watched Angel, Dacon?

LOL

 

[wayfarer]

people are still really not seeing this in the light that i wanted to. Suppose FFVII, from the beginning wasn't a videogame at all, but a film. It still maintained most of the story length, maybe it was a special on HBO or something. If they took out all of the crazy hair and demons and stuff, THEN who'd play the parts.

Also, I think Jennifer Connely may be a good idea, young anyway. She's kinda old now. The only thing that doesn't match up is her eyes. Tifa has characteristicly dark brown eyes. Jennifer Connelly has dark green. That wouldn't be appropriate since usually people who are injected with mako have green eyes. Maybe they could give her contacts. If David Boreanaz's head was thinner I'd say yes.

 

[Max Payne]

It was the complete opposite of Buffy imo. I watched a few episodes on a whim and I really enjoyed it.

It was sort of like a superhero show with all of the supernatural elements and action of Buffy without the shitty high school drama.

I'm not ashamed to say I was a big fan of the show. It had some great action scenes.

 

[Tetsujin]

That wouldn't be appropriate since usually people who are injected with mako have green eyes.

They just get glowing eyes, the color doesn't change (see Cloud's blue eyes =p)

 

[Max Payne]

On another note, I couldn't stand talking to someone with Mako eyes without it being extremely uncomfortable.

 

[Makoeyes987]

And what the fuck is wrong with talking to someone with me? That's some cold shit, dude.

 

[Max Payne]

Shut your pieshute ngr.

 

[Isabella]

It would be uncomfortable for him because of the UST. Duh.

I have an idea for Cloud: Zac Efron. Pretty, androgynous, bright blue eyes, looks like he could get his ass kicked by his girlfriend ...

 

[Ravynne Nevyrmore]

Lol Fenrir, I like how you spend most of your post saying "disregard what they looked like in the game" etc. and then you come up with "maybe if his head was thinner"

 

[Tennyo]

No Zac Effron! D:

 

[Channy]

Maybe if Cloud were to bust out in song during spontaneous moments.

But Zac Efron is already Light from Death Note .

Anyways, I've never really been struck by a resemblance of anyone in FFVII/AC to any actors. Plus, I can't really see anyone IRL pulling off even a simplified version of Cloud's hairstyle convincingly .

 

[Channy]

Take the DBZ movie as a reference. They simplified Goku's hair to be virtually nothing. They'd probly do the same.

 

[Alex]

Whats a Zac Effron?

 

[Cthulhu]

Yes².

Instant win.

And no. "That dude from Bones" is "that dude from Buffy/Angel," end of story.
[/quote]

Fuck you, Buffy suck ass.

And too masculine? Vincent is a man.

Ya, but not with a caveman's jaw like Boreanaz has.

Also, I have nothing to add for the 3rd and 4th page, except that you lot are nuts, . No, if FFVII was never made, then it wouldn't really matter which actor played what character, since there wouldn't be a benchmark, just a character description - which, knowing that character descriptions have a tendency to get adjusted to fit the actor better (like in Lost), wouldn't be like FFVII either.

In a real movie, they'd get rid of pretty much all major characters except maybe 4 or 5, so they could still fit in some character development / origins (which was pretty much absent in AC, mind - everyone minus Cloud and Tifa and the bad guys got little to no introduction whatsoever) and have time left for a movie, but even that would be pushing it.

If they made a TV series out of it, it probably wouldn't make it through the first season (i.e. how many swords & guns sci-fi fantasy series have been made, lyk, evar? I can only think of Farscape, and it quit after four seasons).

What if it spanned more than one movie? Like say two or three? Then I bet a lot more would fit.

 

[Max Payne]

Vincent looks like a goddamn girl. Boreanaz does not.
