So why do so many dislike Advent Children?

Honestly it's pretty good

It adds nothing to the story, if anything it takes away by undermining the climax and struggle of the game by making it so Sephiroth wasn't even defeated and putting the characters in back a similar position they were before.

>>380842545
I loved it :3

Too much Cloud I wanted more of the other characters.

Also very fanfic-y with the seph clones.

>>380842545
It was just poorly written and conceived across the board. The original FF7 was riddled with flaws but could still be enjoyed on its own merits, AC is just a pointless entry that adds absolutely nothing to the story, characters or lore. It also ruined Cloud and is the biggest reason he's seen as an emo fuckboy all the time.

the kino is too strong for normal people

It shattered the illusion that Ff7 had a good story. Upon seeing it everyone that cried when Aries died or thought it made any sense at all realized on some level how shitty it was, but most people had their heads so far up their ass they mistook their distaste for the movie and provided asinine reasons why the movie was so bad but the game was still great.

Emo Cloud

>>380843007
FF7's plot isn't that hard to follow unless you're literally retarded, especially in this day and age.
>inb4 but the translation
Good thing there are now retranslations easily available.

>>380842545
they nerfed tifa's pointy bits

It felt less like a continuation of FF7 and more like a pointless side story that really did not bring much to the table outside seeing FF7 Characters in HD for the first time.

>>380842545
Because tifa in that movie looks 90% like the girl that turned my heart into minced meat.

>>380842545
Honestly, it was boring.

The story is stupid.
The fight scenes are also stupid.

>>380843007
Why would a spin-off animated movie with barely any story at all make people "realize how shitty the FF7 story was"? Doesn't make any sense. I can see this happening when the remake comes, however. And people blaming the remake when the original story was generic animu garbage all along (I'm not sure whether it was).

>>380842545

Dilly dally shilly sally

and, no. The Japanese equivalent was equally retarded

I'm sorry anon. I know what it feels like.

>>380843425
No you're right it is, as is every other JRPG with the only exception being Vagrant Story.

>>380842545
I like it.

>>380842545
I enjoyed the movie but I think the whole 3 Sephiroths thing was fucking retarded.

Ruining Tifa with that hideously unsexy outfit, tit reduction, generic Asian 3d model face and lack of spunky, seductive attitude that she had in the original game.

>>380842545
It was boring and tried to get by on the quality of the visuals alone.

The original game was fun. AC was depressing.

>>380844037
Just so you know, that "spunky, seductive attitude" was a product of the inaccurate translation. Her personality in AC is as it was in the original game.

>>380842545
How is this video games?

>>380843445
German version had her muttering something along the lines of 'always the same excuses' because that was the only thing that really made sense in that scene because the original line can't really be translated.

>>380844478
Wasn't the point that despite her hot looks and being able to beat up people that she was rather reserved and quiet when it comes to her feelings?

I could go on all day, OP.

>three literally who villains to don't care about
>just a vehicle to have Sephy come back
The fights were pretty badass, I'll say that, and it 'is' always nice to see Sephiroth, just wish they'd brought him back in a more believable capacity.

>>380844478
I've played the untranslated Japanese version, and I can tell you that this is absolutely not the case.

>>380842545
Because Cloud has the same mental issues again which he already came over during the game.

>>380845848
Fuck, with the Dissidia NT statement i meant it referring to the above point of emo Cloud.
Also, apologizing for the typos; currently recovering from a hangover, i've been typing shitty all day.

all these years later and that dreadful fuckin line still rings in my brain

>>380847728
Yep, until that moment I thought nothing could top Squall's "I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT ME IN PAST TENSE" line but Nomura and friends do it again.

What she's in it?

muh story

Honestly it's a fine action movie. Just turn your brain off and enjoy the fanservice.

It turned Cloud into an emo faggot that carried over to KH so it became cannon

Cloud isn't an edgelord, he is just a smug mercenary who likes to crossdress, beat up his prostitutes and take baths with gay muscleheads

>>380848346
>turn your brain off
Every time. ls this even a valid excuse?

>>380848482
>smug
He took that from Zack. Cloud himself is a dweeb.

Expanding FFVII was a bad idea altogether

>>380848641
Eh, imagine they would have decided to expand upon VIII instead. I think we got off easy.

>>380848605
Yes, because the people who made this movie clearly gave less of a rat's ass about the story making sense than they did about cramming it full of action and references. It's incredibly transparent. It's not worth caring about the plot when the writers themselves didn't. Nor would it honestly be worth it to either, it's a ~2 hour movie, not a full-length JRPG.

>>380842545
They covered up the epic paffu-paffus

>>380848641
You take that back, crisis core was fun

>>380843445

Are you implying that CC's gameplay was challenging in any way?

>>380849069
WHAT FUCKING REFLEXES DO YOU NEED FOR THAT BRAINDEAD GARBAGE

>>380849229
No, but that's all I could think of that anybody would dislike about it. Some people want to be able to move at a turtle's pace when playing games.

>>380849247
You didn't answer my question

the movie really should've been a game instead

Geez man, I didn't mean to tickle your tism this bad. I enjoyed it and if you didn't that's alright, everybody can like their own things.

>>380848970
>tfw liked CC
It's ok, honestly the biggest flaw was that you had to do those side missions before certain stages, or you're locked out of them until NG+, which is stupid design.

I'll tell you now, that I love this game.

Not the story, but the game itself. Fuckin' awesome. The story is a shit though.

>>380849073
Zuruzuruzuru
The japanese sound of dragging something along the floor. Which is basically what Cloud does with his problems.

>>380850343
I liked Yuffie's outfit.

>>380849351
>Some people want to be able to move at a turtle's pace when playing games.

Which is funny because you still moved at a turtle's pace in CC, in no small part thanks to the obnoxious encounter rated and auto-triggered unskippable summon animations.

>>380849523
Good, that turd deserves to stay flushed.
