Read the whole translation @ adventchildren.net

It's kinda overdue but Happy New Year! Nomura here =).This time
around, I have with me the co-director Nozue-san, to quickly whip this
up. Anyway, with so much work to be done one after another at
the end of last year right up to the start of the this one, we ended
up being very late with our greetings. So sorry about that. ^^; CC's
long rally didn't end until 4 this morning, too.

RE: Advent-Children
As for the date of release, cost (and such), and what to include as
expansion are still being decided upon, and there being no further plans
for a preview, whether or not this should be shown on the big screen
for the benefit of the moviegoers amongst you guys, is also being
considered. As much as I'm raring to tell everyone what's going on,
I can't. Not until final decisions have been made. This is also
to prevent further disappointing fans. Due to that, I'll have to trouble
all of you to please hold out a while more.

it's actually more of a full-length CG film rather than a movie,
it's really starting to show. I myself am very much looking forward
to the completions of this as well, It seems like it juuuuust might exceed 90 mins now...

the lastly penned CC too, seems to be
turning into the kinda game that's gonna bring about some new
sensation to the crowd. The story itself's the link which will
encompass the whole of the compilation. With this renewed depth to
FFVII, the actual continuation that's AC will have a heavy
responsibility indeed.

He mentions a couple other things in his blog as well

Though I find it odd that he doesn't divulge into DoC much, maybe he realizes the game isn't anything spectacular :p
 
yes

side note: I'm wondering if square will go ahead with a theatrical release, lets hope it's a limited run. Like most anime feature films.
 
I would go see it in theaters if they release it. At least it looks interesting not like that FF crap movie
 
Nice read. Can't wait to hear what CC's about. Doesn't sound like it'll be a remake (boo)...


OT, AC's toyline is looking good!

could be good.... but they'd be smarter to do the small release like Neptunes said. Just as long as it's playing around me. If they do small release and no theaters near me pick it up, i'll be screaming bloody murder.

Huh? What the hell does that even mean?

Maybe he means it's more like a long-ass FF cut-scene (or rather collection of cut-scenes) than a movie (like FF: TSW), i.e. lots of action and music but not much dialog.

Ummm, between the end of FF7 and the start of FF7:AC did Tifa somehow get badly deformed and was forced to send her soul into a puppet?

I dunno, if it werent for all the articulation points, itd look good.

Shouldve made a statue instead :P


edit: im fully aware statues of this will flood the market for years to come

yay.

You heard it from the horse's mouth! Crisis Core is going to come with a Trance Vibrator add-on for the PSP and the game will be a gay dating sim between Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth! Fanboys everywhere rejoice (and prepare to rub yourselves)!

I registered with the site just to read the actual shit in Japanese. He was actually talking about how he's really happy now that the significance of FFVII AC being in CG is becoming more and more obvious in that the experience it bestows is completely different from what would have been done in a normal movie.

That makes sense. The money they saved in hair gel for the live action Cloud actor alone...
 
Wouldn't an anime have been far cheaper to produce? I would've preferred that. I hate the look of all the characters in this FFX-ish CGI. It feels out of place from the FFVII/Kingdom Hearts character flair.

Nomura sucks. His artworks suck donkey balls and all of sudden he is a producer. Who gets one bad idea after another.
I agree. Down with sexism! If he is so great, why isn't he pumping out official FF game logo's?

As far as those toys are concerned, they look dreadful. Tifa Lockheart = Michael Jackson.

Yeah, they let him make Kingdom Hearts, and look how that fared. Oh wait...

Yes, it was a marvellous game, with great action and incredibly clever level designs. Oh wait...

Nomura is the greatest, boy! Nobody has a chancge against him! I love his art-style!
 
His art style is nice to look at, but as usual with boring manga/anime character pro designers, they get too generic and go to the extremities to "re-invent" said characters.

Flamboyancy and lions may be the big in-thing for Japanese girls and bi-sexual boys but seriously, how long will the fad last?

Cloud = Greatest chara ever
Art-style = Awesome! Simply AWESOME
Like I said: Nomura rocks, boy
 
Nomura's style developed to generic right after FFVII. Then came Kingdom Hearts, which character arts are fugly and Musashi as the newest thing looks absolutely HIDEOUS. Amano's style >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nomura's style. So fucking generic

Best don't steal message ever.

"Inspiration is okay if you respect the work, which was done to realize the ideas!"

Uggh Amano art. Nomura was the best thing to happen to FF. Come into the series and right off the bat create the most recognizable and popular Square characters ever.

Totally true. Amano is a pure genius and Nomura is just some so-so average artist that just got lucky. But I do love seeing Nomura fans getting all pissy, like he's some breakthrough genius or something.
 
I love GAF!

Yay! Let's ignore actual contents of news posted and instead argue about art because it's SO objective and someone is DEFINITELY right about the FACTS! Way to go! Picasso SUCKS! DeVinci 4EVAR!!!!!!!! :lol

It was a nice, but flawed, game that got good reviews and sold a ton. Sorry, dude.
