Sorry if this was confirmed earlier but I just saw a commercial for Advent Children on sale in the US for April 25 on DVD and UMD. The voices on the commercial sounded very cool. I have seen this already but I'm very curious on how the English version will compare to the Japanese version. I can't wait.

hopefully FFVII:AC will not suffer the fate as other americanized stuff and become crap, looking forward to see if this english version is any good. but of couse i'm so used to the japanese voices w/ subtitles it'll take some time to get used to hearing different voices than i normally hear (lol that makes me sound schizophrenic)

I heard there will be an option for you to choose if you want dub or not so that's a good thing.

Believe it or not, I actually loved the english cast for TSW. Alec Baldwin, James Wood, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames and Ming Na was awesome.

If that is true about the US Release then It might make me want to get it. However, I will not get rid of my Digisub version that I have. The quality of it happens to be quite good

Yup, it's getting released tomorrow. I'm going to the mall right after school to check or buy it

[xmorfis]

Hey..Quinton Flynn from MGS2 doin voice over for Reno..haha...I hope this will turn out great

[wildstarr]

Heh, I had to go to 3 different places after work to find this. It was sold out everywhere.

Really no difference unless you prefer the Japanese language to English.

[Blaice]

bought it
watched it.....again and again
twice subbed & dubbed
dubbed isnt bad but i prefer japanese

so does anyone know if Crisis Core = Last Mission
because the footage from the DVD was Last Mission but the title was named Crisis Core

and are they really re-releasing Before Crisis with english for the mobiles?
i saw some great anime footage from Before Crisis that i've never seen before

ok i found out that unless you've played BC, watched CC/LM, played DoC, watched AC and ofcourse played FFVII... you wont know the whole story
the whole compilation of FFVII is all connected

oh and btw
you should know some of the english cast
as they are also the voice actors for the FF chars in KHII

[(AZN)animedude]

just watched the english, it wasn't that bad actually but since i'm so used to the japanese voices it took some time to get used to, but not that bad IMO

[Tanakacchi]

not used to the english dubs, i perfer the japanese version.

[Razoru]

This must be the best CGI movie I have ever seen!

the japanese version is WAY better than the english version

[sailormari]

I agree it was a great movie I have both english and Japanese versions

but i think the english was good too

[Kameko]

Well... this was really a film for FFVII fans. It was like Squeenix saying "thanks for being loyal, here's some candy"

The plot was rather paper-thin... sure, it was a good film, but the plot wasn't that original. Basically a FFVII fan who hadn't completed the game entirely wouldn't understand some parts.

But Aerith <3333 And the American cast sucked. Sakurai Takahiro did a great job on Cloud - perfect matching voice. Same with Aerith, Tifa, Sephy etc. But Steve Burton kind of killed Cloud's personality. >>;

[綺麗な氷]

Something I had always been meaning to mention in a topic about this movie.
I like the way they have Cloud being so superhuman that he only gets scratched when getting shot in the forehead with a gun at the beginning of the game.
Keeps it consistent with the video game. When you get shot in the video game....that's exactly the amount of damage it would have done.

Many times when bringing video games out of sheer playdom they lose that superhuman quality that existed in battle.

[yelloman]

i thought the dubbed version was alright and that steve burton was good as cloud!! but rachel leigh cook wasnt that great, some of the lines sounded really cheesy and bad the way she read it!!!!

[sailormari]

ok you got me on that yea some rachel leigh cook lines were chessy but over all i got what i expect so i was very happy with the over all dub

[MaKiRenai]

i love FF7! my cousin DL it for me, eng dubb! it was awsome !! i watched soo many time hehe ..my fave characters are Tifa, Cloud, yuffie and aeris.

[assinine]

i liked this movie a lot too.
the english dub was good but i'd rather read through the subs.

consistency of the movie and the actual game was quite good because if you played FF7, you'd probably know a bird's eye view of the movie.

cgi in this movie was also excellent.
