The Ultimania guides are the be all, my comprehensive guides you can get. They only began these with FFVIII so one was never released for FFVII and with FFVII International being re-released because of the AC craze, Square Enix felt it was about time they released an Ultimania book for the game.

Is FFVII international been rereleased in US? And the ultimania guide?

I am still trying to figure out how Eminem is listed on IMDB and in the .NFO file as a character in it.

Technically FFVII International already is released in the US. International is basically the US/European version of the game as the original Japanese version had some features cut to meet the deadline and release date including Ruby & Emerald weapon, Zack/Cloud cutscene etc. After FFVII was released in the US and Europe, Square re-released the game in Japan with the features that were originally cut as "Final Fantasy VII International".
As for the Ultimania guide in English? Not a chance. None of the previous volumes have been released outside of Japan and I doubt the FFVII will either. I say that though but Brady games is going ahead and releasing an English version of Capcom's Biohazard Archives but then the FFVII Ultimania Omega is nearly 600 pages... :lol

I don't know, I watch action movies for the action, not boring tripe like character development. Because of this, I wouldn't necessarily consider T2 an action movie. Sounds funny and stupid to say, but it's true. Consider the two Matrix sequels. Too much story fluff and boring "character" moments and not enough of what fans wanted to see: AI ass kicking.

Seems as if there is just as many people that like it, as those that hate it. I guess this is one of those "love/hate" type films. Ah well, I am a BIG sucker for action movies (hey, I thought XXX ROCKED!) as far as I'm concerned this movie could just have the fight scenes and I'd be happy.
I have the movie pre-ordered at Play-Asia so I hope to get it soon.

IMO, the action direction could've been much better... See the FFVIII intro for example; very clear what was happening in the fight between Squall and Seifer. The AC stuff OTOH are way too quick and hyperactive... very difficult to follow.
But I guess bonus of that kind of direction was showing how superhuman these guys are/were, which is fair enough given the context of the RPG.
I would've really liked to see Cloud pull of an omnislash as the limit break, instead of that 5 hit move.

My impressions:
Really liked the first half... but the second half dragged but I thought it picked up at the end again. I've always liked the RPG's that give character-related closures, and I felt that FF7 didn't do that at all, even compared to all the other FF's. Cloud fighting his demons, was what was needed and it does give some sense of closure too.
As an aside... is the stuff from the second ending all CG? If so... I was completely blown away. It looked so real.

Cloud was obviously CG, but I dont think the environment was. Look at how the lighting affected cloud as he rides among other little things. I think it was like Dinosaur, real background with CG character on it.IAmtheFMan said:

Pretty meh overall, pace was silly, things seemed to just jump from one thing to the other. Did look and sound great though, and have some good scenes.
Just didn't seem to have much of the substance FF7s plot had, and bringing back pretty much every single character, whether they should be dead or not just seems to take away from the events of FF7.
Most of the plot just seemed pretty rubbish, the only thing that seemed to have any significance was clouds overall drama. Geostigma, the children, and the trio didnt really seem to have much substance.
I dunno how people thought the post credit bit was CG, admitadly i was confused about the characters (wasn't sure if they were actors, or CG till the end), but the locations were a jarringly different, partly due to the colours used during the film.

Movie Q:
in the beginning, one of the bad guys shows that he has Elena and Tseng's bloody ID badges. I thought he had killed them, but they show up near the end of the movie??

Not much nice to say about this one except for the beautiful graphics :|
Story was a bore, and at parts utterly preposterous:
The animation in the fights looked really weird and unnatural at points.
Maybe the PS4 could have graphics like that real time. That'd be coo.

W...T...F... was with the 318 people successively throwing Cloud into the sky? I viewed this with some FF7 fans, and I swear all the people I was watching it with were flabbergasted by the total retardedness of it. One of the most regrettable FF moments ever, possibly surpassing the "laughing scene" in FFX.

Really? You didn't like that part? I seriously thought it was extremely well played in terms of showing how the group was there for Cloud.
I mean, how cool was it that they even had Aerith help him out through the Bahumat's blast?

It's 500 years later, Midgar. It matches the original ending to FF7 perfectly.

I hate to say it, but as cool as it was to see the entire gang there, that was for me the worst moment of the entire movie. IMHO, if they were
gonna have Cloud go DBZ and hit the skies, they should have just had him do it under his own power. But, it WOULD have been cool if Aerith still did help him just get through the blast - her role fit, where the others did not.

Is it wrong to say you bought a fansubbed bootleg?
Anyway, I wanted this movie to end about 5 minutes into it. Only reason why I kept it going was because I paid $2 for it and felt I needed to get some of my money's worth.
Still, it was better than TSW.

Ok, that I can see. I don't agree with you, as I think that even though they gave Cloud amazing abilities in this film, I would have found it hard to think he could just flat out fly. But I can definately see your point.

I liked the whole "worked as a team" to launch cloud up to fuck up Bahamut.
If not in design or visual flair, than at least for it's symbolisis. That one scene summed up the entire 'team effort' that was potrayed in Final Fantasy VII.
Although, I think Barret should have said "you're skinny white ass is late!" As opposed to just saying "you're late."
That FF7 reference would have --kicked ass--
