Cloud is suppose to look older/a bit different since it is two years later.

I have no beef with their CG look. It plays well with the movie anyway.

It's not that I have a problem with the style in and of itself -- ask Grey, I love the girly boy look -- the question is, is it apropriate to Final Fantasy 7? I like sleeping in the nude, but that's not apropriate if I'm a guest in someone else's house, is the point. For an FFX movie, yes, but not FF7. If only to see what they could do with it, I'd like to see a graphically intensive character model of Cloud using the game's style, rather than the girly/realistic style of the movie.

But FF7's style is anime inspired, while Advent Children is going for an ultrarealism approach. I'd say photorealism, but we're talking film and not image...is there an alternative term for photorealism that applies to film? Hmm...

...Because that was the point of FF7 Advent Children, perhaps? Or perhaps the technology didn't exist at the time of FF7 to go wholly for that look?

Hmmm...

And there were lots of other ways to do it that may have pleased you more. Water colour flow animation (something one of my friends is experimenting), claymation, super marionation or plain old anime style.

Claymation... xDD I can just see a Robot Chicken spoof of FF7 now. Thanks for making my day. On the subject of the graphical changes..I like it, it is different, different can be good. And Gackt...xD just no.

Gackt was the model for Squall, not Cloud.

And THIS is a thread by someone who complains about styles in all the wrong places. Hell, you could at least put it in RPG or movies/tv/entertainment (EDIT: I mean movies, music, and the tube. Still not used to that.) (It was in Gen Gaming for those going through the trash who see this)... But then it'd still be a fairly stupid thing.

I think this is a perfectly valid topic to discuss, and I think moving it to its rightful place will inspire considerably more intelligent discussion of generalized RPG art styles (or lack thereof ).

I agree that it's not in keeping with the original anime style of the game. But I also don't think that Square would really do a full anime styled movie in CG either... they've been moving more towards their current style for a while, and it seems they're going to stick with it.

Oh well... Last Order is anime styled

I have not seen anything at all from Last Order, just a name. What is it supposed to be?

And has anyone in here played Before Crisis?

Last Order is a 30-something OVA about the Nibelheim incident through Cloud and Zack going to Midgar. They also decide to embelish on a lot of events, and add some new ones in. You get to see Zack pull some pretty sweet SOLDIER shit, then see Sephiroth do some even sweeter on Zack. Also, for some reason they decided to make Tseng seem... I don't know, I guess the best way to say it is they make him seem like he doesn't enjoy what he's doing.

Before Crisis... I do believe that the phones able to play that are as expensive as a PS2, so I'm not even gonna bother with that. Or at least until someone ports the episodes to PC. What I'm waiting for right now is Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus.
