Title: Ff7ac: Collector's Edition
Edge - February 12, 2007 05:42 PM (GMT)
http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-VII-Ch...7?ie=UTF8&s=dvd:P I'm an AC whore, but other than that I want to hear LO dubbed and those postcards. *licks Cid* Can't go wrong with Rick Gomez as Zack and Steve Burton as Cloud. FTW! Plus I'm interested in hearing how Steve manages to do a younger Cloud. :fangirl:

Wow, I can't believe they're dubbing LO. Interesting. I really do like the animation, even if I don't care so much for what they did with the story. ^_^
Anyways, I'm probably gonna buy this one. I don't own any version of the movie yet (except for a crappy pirated one that I got at an anime convention before it was released in America). :D
LadyAerith - February 15, 2007 04:15 AM (GMT)
lol I'm falling victim to this and definantly buying it :P I'm a sucker for AC and I can't wait to hear and see Last Order dubbed! :D Awesome stuff. Thanks for showing us this Tana ^_^
Edge - February 15, 2007 07:35 PM (GMT)
Bad news. LO wasn't actually dubbed in English. Apparently IGN got it wrong...
again. All they did was sub it with English subtitles. Meh, but the other extras make up for it.
http://www.adventchildren.net/ has an exclusive look at the box set:

All those pretty pictures make me want to get it, but I don't think I will. I bought the Advent Pieces set so I really don't need this one. It's not like I'll do anything with the postcards. So yeah, it's not worth it to me. I'm quite happy with the set I have. ^_^

Lolz! I bet the Advent Pieces set was QUITE expensive though. This is almost like it and it's just 35-40 dollars... o.o The Japanese one had the Cloudy wolf neckalace and stuff but it was like what? 300 dollars?
DeathGigas - February 15, 2007 11:30 PM (GMT)

Ghey. I thought LO was going to be dubbed. Oh well.

A story about Barret?
It would be interesting to get Marlene's missing father's perspective on, well, everything. Especially if Barret's story is set post AC.

Is there still any place where I can get Advent Pieces... Maybe for about... 500$?? I don't have much money to spend right now, but i can probably save up that much. >_>
And as for the new DVD set... I'd buy two of them. >=) Wanna keep one unopened.
My chances of collecting all the Final Fantasy games factory sealed are extremely slim but all factory sealed Final Fantasy VII stuff is still very possible. =) Just need to get my hands on a sealed original FFVII first. I have two original FFVII's, one GH FFVII, one Japanese FFVII and one original PC FFVII.. I don't know why i had to open my second original FFVII and not use it. I'm retarded. -_-
And are they still selling new Jap. FFVII's and FFVII International? And that Japanese FFVII Chocobo racing game... It might just be impossible for me to collect all this FFVII stuff too. o.O;

You know what they say-- you can't spell "ignorance" without IGN. :D
Thanks for the link. I'm not interested in buying this set, but from the summary on ACF, I definitely want that story of Barret's. The snippet posted was already pretty heartbreaking. :sad:
Another thing that piqued my interest was:
| QUOTE (ACF) |
| What extra got a makeover? The "Making Of" feature. The bonus for this feature is the addition of interviews with a few of the English voice actors, namely for Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith. |
I'd love to hear what they have to say!

Official translations, yay! I'm not going to be expecting it to be too different from the fan translations or anything, but it'll be nice to have official material. It's too bad they won't translate MoTP though.

Sorry, but the news of a novel specifically about Barret has got me in a total fangirl craze. ABOUT TIME, SE! <_< Barret is so unappreciated, it's about time he got a taste of the limelight. :fangirl:
Kaldea - February 17, 2007 04:12 AM (GMT)
My Advent Pieces set was around $400 Canadian. :mellow: Sucked but at least I had the money at the time. It was well worth it. <3
I'm sure you could find it or at least pieces of it on ebay if you were really desperate. :fish:

LadyAerith - February 18, 2007 04:08 PM (GMT)
well I pre-ordered my copy of of Amazon.com. The price is actually decent there. They're talking about the retail price being $50 or more and I said screw that. I can't wait to watch Last Order (even though it's not being dubbed <.<) on my big screen and I can't wait for the rest of the goodies that come with it!! :D
Edge - February 18, 2007 05:05 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I already pre-ordered it on Valentine's Day aswell. It already shipped. :P It'll be nice having FF7AC postcards and the novellas in my hands.
Sadhana - February 18, 2007 07:01 PM (GMT)
This sounds pretty cool. I probably won't buy it (at least not immediately) since I really have to save up money for a trip I'm taking in April. But once someone finds out what Barret's new story is all about, they must dish all the details. :P

Case of Barret ftw. Cid says that the woman always wear the pants, when referring to Cloud and Tifa.
| QUOTE |
"Cloud? Run a business?" "You can bet it's Tifa kickin' his ass into shape." "I see. In the end, it's the woman wear the pants." "How's Shera?" "Meh, she's about the same," dodged Cid. |
:heart:

With Shera, Cid would know that better than anyone. :giggle:

I really enjoyed Case of Barret... and the changes in the wording in Case of Tifa. *squeez*
| QUOTE (official plz) |
But right next to her, Cloud was watching the same scene and smiling serenely. That smile was nothing she'd ever seen during their travels. Coud noticed Tifa was gazing at him. "What?" "Cloud, you're smiling." "I am?" "Yes." "This is where it starts. My new-" Cloud paused, searching for the words. "My new life," he finished. "I'm going to live. I'll never be forgiven unless I do. So much has... has happened." "It sure has." "But I thought it was funny, considering all the other times I thought my 'new life' was starting." "Why is that funny?" "'Cause I always screwed it up." "That's not funny." "This time... I think it'll be okay." Cloud was silent for a long time before he spoke again. "Because I have you." "You've always had me." "I mean from tommorow on." Cloud answered with another smile. -------------- When they were alone, Cloud commented, "It's not like you to get weighed down." "Now you know... how I am." "No. You're upbeat, and strong. And if you forget that, then I'll get you to remember." "Oh, you will?" "Yeah, probably." Cloud added with a blush. ---------------------- "Don't worry, I'll be a good kid to them!" When Marlene said that, Cloud and Tifa exchanged glances. To us? "I'll take good care of Tifa and Cloud!" Looking back, Barret said with a shout: "You be strong!" His voice was cracking. "Work together as a family and keep at it, ya hear?!" -------------- After checking that Cloud was asleep, she spoke to him. "We're... okay, right?" Of course, there was no answer. All she heard was him breathing softly as he slept. Is the fact that Cloud sleeps here proof enough we're a family? "Do you love me?" Cloud opened his eyes. He looked perplexed. "Hey, Cloud. Do you love Marlene?" "Yeah. But... sometimes I don't know how to act around her." "Even though you've been together this long?" "I'm not sure that's enough." "Same with you and me?" Cloud didn't answer. "Sorry. Weird question." "Don't be. It's my problem." Cloud shut his eyes. "Why can't it be ours?" Cloud didn't answer. |
And the remade Distance Feature was great. *melts at Steve's voice* o_o Racheal and Steve really nail it on the head when it comes to their characters/fan reaction. :lmao: It's scary.
French Aeristh = ftw
Hades' Daughter - February 23, 2007 08:12 PM (GMT)
Awww, you can sing...how cute! ^^
Anyhow, it seems the fan who originally translated CoT did a very good job of it, despite his/her claim to only have learned Japanese for a year or two.
It's pretty darn close to the official stuff. :)

I thought you preferred official translations to fan translations?
Yeah, translating the novellas from Japanese to English must have been a pretty daunting task. But I always thought that some of the lines in the story didn't flow so well in the fan translations, and others were just out there. If you read the official one, though, it all makes sense now.

I guess it'll help to read the rest of CoT, but the passages you provided, IMO, is pretty similar to the fan ones. *shrugs*
It'd be great though if one of you fortunate ones could provide us with the whole thing along with Case of Barret too. I wonder if we'll ever get official translations for MoTP.
LadyAerith - February 23, 2007 10:37 PM (GMT)
Meh I dunno, I think my heart dropped to my feet when I read some of the lines and made me question stuff :( ...I'll always be a Clerith and always love Cloud and Aerith together (atleast I can still gush over them in Kingdom Hearts) But yeah, I dunno... Everything is truly awesome though, but I don't think it's fair that we didn't get Maiden translated or they didn't really give us anything on Aerith *sighs* :(
¤lonewolf¤ - February 25, 2007 12:37 AM (GMT)
Well, you must remember that Aeris is dead. She obviously can't be talked about as much as Tifa, or the rest of the FFVII crew. So, that's understandable.
That and they're probably going to give us a few things with CC. :D (at least, I hope so. I really love Aeris)

:lmao: Maybe I'll type it out one of these days. Just incase you were wondering, there's nothing else we didn't already know about Cloud, Tifa, and the family from the novellas, but here's a little fact I forgot to mention: Shera has Geostigma. I wonder if she still has it in DoC. She's never seen in that game at all. I hope she's cured, it would suck if she still had it. :/ Poor Cid. Shera's actually pretty optimistic about it though... and Cid's all emo.

I don't see how that one word makes a very noticeable difference. From
www.dict.org, Dubious = Doubtful or not settled in opinion; being in doubt; wavering or fluctuating; undetermined.
Perplexed = entangled, involved, or confused; hence, embarrassed; puzzled; doubtful; anxious
There's not much difference there.
Quite shocking to find out Shera has Geostigma though. Add another person Aerith healed to the list! :lol:
Kaldea - February 25, 2007 05:03 AM (GMT)
*Laughs at the translations*
They still didn't make cloti a pairing? Gawdz. :fish:
Other than the fact that it was almost exactly the same as the fan translations, I am still seeing a brother/sister thing. I can't find anything romantic in that. :lmao:
You people find too much in too little. Two people supporting each other (when in Cloud's case, he's kinda lying due to AC) doesn't mean hawt secks. :fish:
"Perplexed" :lmao:
LadyAerith - February 25, 2007 05:13 AM (GMT)
It still did state that Tifa had "motherly" feelings towards Cloud too and that she still looked at him as a "big kid" So I dunno. I guess maybe I was reading a little too much in it, but meh lol whatever :P and perplexed still has the definition of "doubtful" so yeah.

I think you were looking behind their words a little too much anyway. If you read it for what it is, it plainly states that they are looking out for each other which is what friends do anyway. ^_^
I really don't see how you (or anyone) thought they were in love by what was said. :mellow:
CG JUST LIKES REAL PROOFS THAT CLOUD IS SINGLE FOR A REASON AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I GUESS. :fish:
LadyAerith - February 25, 2007 07:56 AM (GMT)
O__o I never did think they were in love. It just kind of tugged at a nerve in Case of Barret that Cid says something to the affect of "So Cloud's with Tifa now, huh?" or something, I can't remember the exact wording offhand and Barret answers with a yeah. *shrugs* I dunno, it just kinda bothered me a bit =/
