Just look at those two fem boys next to how they looked in the PS1 games.

nomura was allowed to go full-nomura

he's a good artist, but only if his faggotry is kept in check in by better project leads, which, unfortunately is not the case since a decade or so ago

If I'm not mistaken, he and Kojima literally would have dinners together and bounce ideas off of each other.

I think you're giving an all-black wardrobe for 4 characters a little too much credit

it might just be about as retarded as flamboyant costumes with zippers and belts
>>
>>318135776
How about show their player models during combat instead? Sephiroth and Cloud at least looked more manly then they did in AC.
>>
let’s not be too critical here; the movie is very good at what it’s supposed to be doing and since I liked the game a lot I am a bit biased towards overseeing its hiccups. It has a fine name in its title and for the duration it was allowed, it offered a basic plot and lots of good action. It sure felt a lot more enjoyable that, let’s say, the animated Tekken movie or the live action adaptations of Super Mario, Street Fighter, Dead or Alive, or Dragonball. Plot and character emersion suffer of course but the soundtrack is still awesome and I still watch the action scenes from time to time. That counts as a half-success to me.

XV I meant. Whoops. And no. All black model wear is easily more acceptable than belts and zippers coming from every orifice.

No they fucking didn't, they looked like fuccbois before and they look like fuccbois now

They looked more manly then. That was my point and you have yet to debunk it. They also looked more masculine in Kingdom Hearts.

No they fucking didn't, they never once looked manly, they always looked liked like fuccbois with anime eyes perfect bishie faces and fuccboi hair

Pull your head out of your ass

>>318137714
If you can't see that Cloud clearly looks more masculine here than he does in the image OP then you are the one that's the fuccboi. Those eyebrows are a man that wants to fuck shit up. OP's image looks as if Cloud had a long day getting his ass pounded by Barret.

It's not, it's awesome
Spectacular OST, fantastic action scenes, great graphics for a 10yo CGI movie, Seph's VA is god-tier, Cloud's swords are badass, the Sephiroth remnants are great, SIN Bahamut looks amazing, Shinra is cool as fuck, the plot is pretty good, the new designs are nice
I have no idea what people complain about
The scene where Sephiroth first appears is one of the best "HOLY FUCK" moments I've ever experienced in cinema
>>
>>318134472
It was an okay FF. Basically the same feeling i got from ff7, just with a different plot.
>>
>>318138829
I felt you were overselling it a bit but then you went full fucking fanboy.

>the Sephiroth remnants are great
They're angsty, annoying and childish knock offs who overstayed their welcome until Sephiroth appeared too late.

>SIN Bahamut looks amazing
It's over designed garbage, doesn't fit with the other Bahamut designs and looks like it's from X or XIII rather than VII.

>Shinra is cool as fuck
Rufus should be dead and the Turks are literally comic relief. They're everything but cool.

>the plot is pretty good
Even if you read the novels associated with it the story is still mediocre and unnecessary.

>the new designs are nice
Most are bad. Cid and Barret in particular are fucking awful.

I remember being a young teen and knew nothing about VII. Watched Advent Children, loved it. I mean I really adored it.

Now the more I think of it, the less I like it. Amazing music and beautiful CG. Can't deny that. But the terror triplets were just Nomura being Nomura. Yazoo held no value except driving those dumb kids who apparently trust anyone and crime doesn't exist for some reason so they have no reason to not trust him I guess? In AC: Complete, I can't think of a single thing he did aside from smack Reno around, get mad over his mom, and die. Loz at least had a cool fight with Tifa. And cried. That's it. Kadaj was just some whiny brat and I get annoyed simply thinking about him.
>>
>>318139891
Kadaj was really awesome, the way he jus shows off to everyone to desperately make people realize he's more than Sephiroth's shadow or at least deserves as much reverence and fear as Sephiroth gets by being overly theatrical in everything
Yazoo and Loz get less development but they both have their own personality
SIN Bahamut is subjective i guess but I loved his design
By Shinra I mean Rufus Shinra and no he's not dead and his character was great. Turks are comic relief but they actually hold their own against Loz and Yazoo at one point and they're pretty useful even if they're not crazy OP like the others
The story is cool because it leads to a bunch of cool fights, it's like the story in a DMC game, it's just there to give you a reason to beat up demons
Barret is weird, Cid is meh but the others are great
Yuffie rocks, Vincent looks great, Tifa is nice and I liked Cloud's new look

Well no shit, he has to cross dress and make himself look like a girl to look like one. Are you autistic?

>>318134472
Ruined everything the entirety of ff7 spent developing the character's.

Took the abstract chibi movement of the overworld characters and applied the physics to realistic models.

> couldn't jump to the top of a tower without the dolphin - ff7

To me it's the epitome of why ip should always be dealt by the mind that conjured it up.

You do realize that AC was made by the people who made FF7 right?

Kitase, Nojima, Nomura were in charge of FF7

Kitase, Nojima and Nomura were the ones who did AC

>> characters are throwing each other around like tissue paper and leaping hundreds of feets into the air - advent children
How is a character propelling another character into the air so they can get higher any different in concept than a character using a dolphin to propel themselves higher into the air? It's the same process

Chibi models were only the shitty overworld and were only because of the limitations, the FMVs and even the battles showed way more grand movements and even more crazy shit than AC like the summons or Sephiroth's supernova
>>
>>318135481
No, it was a great piece of fan service to a game that ended ambiguously. I swear, the people who hated AC never got to experience the game as a child.

His muscle mass in AC is bigger than it was in FF7

>being in SOLDIER
>having a lot of muscle mass
Nigga, the alien blood takes care of strength. It's better to be lithe so you have the speed to go with it. None of the first class were super buff.
>>
>>318141012
Loz isn't a crybaby, he's just a bit slow and mostly childlike while still being incredibly powerful because he was the personification of Sephiroth's sthrenght, Yazoo was the personification of his charisma and demeanor and he looks completely aloof and is very detached from everything
>>
>>318142041
Angeal was pretty buff
>>
>>318142163
He was also the weakest of the trio
>>
>>318142041
Not Gakt was the skinniest. Angeal had big muscles, and Zack wasn't that thin.
>>
>>318142279
Yeah that confirms the idea that SOLDIERs need to be lithe
Mother takes care of strength
>>
>>318134472
all those sound bites of people going "hmm, hehe, huh, augh, etc". is that some japanese shit? the most irritating tick about the movie.

shame square is using AC as the template for the remake. i would have preferred the chibi look of the original game

Advent children
Director : nomura
Producers: kitase & hashimoto
Writer : nojima

Ff7
Director : kitase
producer : sakaguchi
writing : kitase & nojima

Nomuras inclusion and sakaguchis removal are the 2 biggest factors.

Nobody took the movements of the overworld models literally, they're more expressive and animated because thats the only way to convey body language with such limited hardware.

The translation of these physics to realistic models are very jarring to say the least and is just another example of why advent children doesn't feel right and why the remake is going to fall flat on its face if it tries to translate these scenarios into a fully realised world.
>>
>>318144923
Except Nomura was in charge of story for VII
Sakaguchi wanted his detective Joe game that got changed into FFVII
>>
>>318145353
>Except Nomura was in charge of story for VII

Opinion discarded.
>>
>>318145632
Literally 10 seconds using google

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII
>Unlike with Final Fantasy VI that had an ensemble cast, Cloud was planned as the main character since the beginning. Nomura helped create the basic story, and the team came up with the characters during that time. He cites Barret and Cait Sith as two characters he had wanted to create for a long time, but everyone else was created during the writing of the story.
>>
>>318144923
Nomura was base story writer, character designer, monster designer, summon designer, boss designer, weapon designer and battle visual director on FF7
Kitase was writer and director on FF7
Nomjima was writter on FF7

Kitase was a writer and producer on AC, he is the one who started AC with Nojima
Nojima was a writer on AC too
Nomura was a character designer and in charge of the battle direction scenes of AC, Kitase slapped his name on as director to promote the movie


Sakaguchi had barely any involvement in FF7, he only did the original SCRAPPED story about Detective Joe and the setting being 1999 NYC that completely changed when Nomura did his base story about a character Cloud with his false identity and the basic foundation of the entire story, and he created all the other characters too and fleshed out the story with Nojima and Kitase helping out

>>318145632
Do some fucking research you idiot, Nomura was the most core member for FF7s story.
>>
>>318141383
You do realize that FF7 was made on VERY old and limited hardware, right.
