[inferiare]

I'm planning on visiting Austrailia....

I'll hunt you down then...

[Axe Kazama]

I'll be long dead by the time you get here

[inferiare]

No you won't. You'll be on the brink of death, and then I'll come along and rip your arm off with my teeth.

Double post, but info on the Japanese voice actors. Be warned, it's spoilers as to who is in the movie: http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/movie/cast.htm

Also, you can now preorder it at GameStop. It's currently priced at $40 USD.

cool, Sephiroth is voiced by the same person who voiced Kazuya from Tekken 4, might be an early idea of what he sounds like

(must kill Rarno before teh Queen arrives to Aussieland )

[Muerte]

sweet ... sephiroth is kazuya?! ... that'd sound awesome

[inferiare]

And Maaya Sakamoto does a voice too...

I like her voice. Better than MANDY MOORE. God, if they get her to do the English voice, I'll kill.

One of the most expensive such special editions released in Japan over the last couple of years, it will carry a price tag of 29,500 yen ($274.83 USD).

The movie's standard edition will go on sale for 4,800 yen ($44.72 USD). Please note that those prices refer to the DVD version of the CG movie, release details for the UMD version have yet to be announced.

EBGames has tentatively put the cost for the DVD movie at $49.99 USD, and GameStop at $29.99 USD.

I mean... DAMN. I hope all that stuff comes here. I would gladly pay $300 for all of that. Cloud on his motorcycle (the figurine "Cloud and Hardy Daytona" goes for $120 on eBay if you're lucky) would be awesome to have.

SPIRITS WITHIN DID NOT SUCK! I swear to God the only reason people say that is because it [monotone]"doesn't have any Final Fantasy-ish elements in it."[/monotone] The "Final Fantasy-ish elements" being moogles and chocobos. Chocobos didn't come around until the second NES game. Quoted from the FF Compendium: FF Compendium wrote: The Chocobos make their debut here; you can ride one if you find a Chocobo Forest. The Chocobo will return to its forest as soon as you get off. Moogles didn't exist until 6 (or 3 in the US), and even then, Mog was the only playable Moogle. Summons didn't appear until the third NES game. FF Compendium wrote: There is a new type of magic: Summon magic, which usually can only be gotten by defeating the monster to be summoned. During summons, the party disappears and is replaced by the monster for a quick attack. Magic no longer raises levels; you must use Bolt 2 etc. Each Final Fantasy has its own seperate world (except for the obvious FFX/FFX-2 game, and the Final Fantasy Tactics/Tactics Advance/FFXII when it's released that is.) So please. Unless you have a reason that isn't one of these reasons, please, feel free to tell me why TSW sucked.

The music was not even close to Final Fantasy, it had more of a Deep Impact feel. The dialogue sucked and was filled with cheezy liberalist innuendo, the comedy was childish and dry (though I did like the "I think we should find the nearest evaction pod" or something like that). The characters were very Final Fantasy and that part was especially good, but I think that the biggest dissapointment was having it set in the real world. Also not hearing the Final Fantasy Theme at the end stunk.

PS: There were "summons" in a sense, if you call the spirits summoned monsters. I'd say the overall storyline had elements of 7 and 8 (the Lifestream, Meteor and the Lunar Cry) so overall I guess it didn't suck, it just wasn't final fantasy.
