The Changes and Additions of FFVII Advent Children Complete

Rufus and Kadaj’s discussion on Sephiroth’s return and Jenova returning remain the same, with Rufus’s lines being only reworded. However, instead of just flashbacks of past events of FFVII that have been seen before, we actually see them talk, and Kadaj is particularly expressive. Some flashes of Sephiroth over Kadaj are also seen, making the link between the two that much more obvious. After that, he summons Bahamut SHIN to attack Edge and search for Jenova’s head beneath the monument in Edge.

After the dramatic entrance of Tifa’s fellow heroes and comrades from FFVII, a new scene shows Tifa telling Denzel to get away from the chaos to safety, however he notices the suffering victims of the Shadow Creepers and thinks back to the destruction of Sector 7.

The new scene continues with Tifa bringing Denzel back to the present. As soon as she does though, a Shadow Creeper attacks and Tifa quickly kicks it away. However, it turns to smoke and emerges at Tifa’s feet with two more of its kind, sending her into the air. She fights these three and destroys them, only to have them turn to dust again and reform around Denzel, going after him this time.

The scene continues as we notice Cloud watching as Denzel’s life is endangered, an image of Zack facing his death at the hands of Shinra MPs in his left eye. Cloud then sees Tifa about to be crushed by a falling structure, an image of Aerith’s death at the hand of Sephiroth in his right eye.

Cloud then focuses, takes out his sword, and flings one of the blades at the Shadow Creepers which circles in an arc and kills them. He quickly drives towards the fallen Tifa, slicing falling buildings and debris out of his way to get to her and pulls her onto his bike, just in time to save her from impending death. He apologizes for not being there sooner, which Tifa says is okay.

After Tifa and Cloud depart to join their friends fighting Bahamut SHIN, Denzel runs back to Seventh Heaven down an alley. However, on his way there, Two Shadow Creepers appear, and one tosses a man brutally into a fire hydrant, causing it to dislodge. The monsters then seemingly tear apart another hapless, fleeing victim. One of these Shadow Creepers notices Denzel and looks at him. We see a good close up of the creature’s face as Denzel suffers an attack of Geostigma while the monster charges for him. Despite his pain and fear, Denzel gets up and runs, grabbing a crowbar and furiously begins striking the dislodged hydrant. In the nick of time he breaks it, sending the monster back with a torrent of water while he runs to safety.

The fight with Bahamut SHIN and Cloud is relatively unchanged, except for the added detail of damage Bahamut takes from Cloud’s assault. After Cloud strikes its face with Braver, causing it to fall onto the buildings below, we see his armor break, and expose his bleeding, wounded face. Bahamut’s roar of rage looks all the more threatening with the blood and exposed flesh.

      Ha. And people try to tell me Cloud doesn’t care.
      Of course he cares!! At heart, Cloud’s just a big softie. He really is.

    Thanks for the effort.. but a lot of the screens really don’t look great, especially the “Sephiroth’s Wing” shot… the compression makes it look like an upconverted screen instead of 720p. I’ll wait for other screens before making any of these my desktop background because of the pixellation.

      I don’t see what you mean. They all look fine to me.

    • jkoz
      jkoz 19 April, 2009, 21:57

      I’m comparing it to my Blu-Ray, and in comparison they’re not good at all. Some pics look grainy, but even without comparison, the Sephy’s Wing pic looks like crap either way. Unless there’s something wrong with your eyes, you can’t miss the pixelation and compression artifacts on that picture and many of the others. If these pics were resized to a smaller resolution, they might look sharper, but these are subpar HD at best when compared to the original.

      Makoeyes987 Author 20 April, 2009, 02:45

      Yeah, they pale in comparison to the original Blu-Ray sadly. I’m sorry.

      Cthulhu 19 April, 2009, 22:05

      Makoeyes made the screenshots using VLC’s screenshot options, and all images are at the 720p resolution in the PNG format, which isn’t that much compressed I think. Each image is over 1 MB in size, too. I am seeing the JPEG-like artifacts though, so I see what you mean.

      If you happen to have a collection of images / screens of higher quality / less artifacts, feel free to share them with us / the rest of the community, :D.

    • Suzaku
      Suzaku 20 April, 2009, 00:00

      The compression artifacts are most likely from Makoeyes using a bootleg copy to screencap from.

      The real video is 1920×1080 and wouldn’t have any compression artifacts.

    • jkoz
      jkoz 20 April, 2009, 02:52

      Yes, exactly what Suzaku said. The original source material is already not very good. I would make my own screens but I have finals the next two weeks and don’t have the time. I’m sure someone else will.

      yeah the wing just pops up and your like wow iv seen the compleate film its awsome and Cloudy boy gets cut up pretty bad by the end of the fight and hes on the verge of dying when Zack talks to him that gives him a rush of enargy to kick Sephys butt

    Uhm.. what do you mean with “a broken kadaj”? I’m italian so I’m not sure wich the real meaning is XD. Do you mean like the previous movie, when he falls down injured and without energies before disappearing between Cloud’s arms?
    Btw great shots and this movie is still epic!! Thanks for this entry.

    As much as I love the daisies on Zack’s former grave, personally, I would have loved to see some sunflowers to match the ones that were on his swim shorts in CC. XD

      I think those are sunflowers. A wild variety as opposed to the enormous things we’re used to seeing. At the very least, they seem too yellow to be daisies.

      And, doing a little searching, they look a lot like Helianthus Giganteus Linnaeus, which is often referred to as “Wild Sunflower.”

      Cthulhu 21 April, 2009, 20:35

      Youtube only allows movies of at most 10 minutes (last time I checked), would you really want to watch the entire movie in 13 bits and have to wait in between bits? :monster:

    I don’t know anyone on here, but I’ve been visiting this site for a while (Thank you, thank you, thank you for the Ultimania translations; you people are awesome). I’ve read a few times that people want ACC on youtube, and I wanted to let you guys know that I’m trying to upload it. I only have the Japanese version and YT will probably delete it, but I’m gonna go ahead and try anyway. You can search the channels for Joppylop if you want to check it out. I’m trying to post the first bit now, so it might be a while before you see anything up there.

      sweet. i love you for trying man. i wanna watch it so bad, i dont even care if theres no subs for now. btw you would probably want to name it something other than Advent Children Complete, so they wouldn’t catch it and delete it as quickly.

    • Joppylop
      Joppylop 22 April, 2009, 03:22

      I just called it AC and tagged it Advent Children Complete. Maybe it’ll stay up longer that way. It’s uploaded now (I’m having to do it in parts), but still processing. My connection is pretty slow. I live in central Alaska and we don’t have a decent choice of providers that aren’t overpriced, so it’ll be a while before I get it up. Let’s hope they don’t take it down.

    :O sorry.. that sucks tho, but thanks for trying. i guess their just waiting for ppl to try and upload it so they can delete it right away. Sq Enix must be watching over this like freaking vultures.
