Honestly, with the current technology, I wish Square would go back and redo the game
 . Its by far, THE best Final Fantasy game ever; I mean, what can they lose? I'd play the game over and over again (as i did with FF7).
Instead, they're doing a sequal in a form of a CG movie. I love CG animations like what you see in FF:Spirit Within, but im rather skeptical with square's decision to do this, considering what happened to FF:SW. Other than that point, I'm Just not a big fan of making sequals (movie or game) for a really classic game like FF7 (like making a sequal of Cowboy Bebop etc.). I doubt they will have the content to push the already-finished story further, and besides, the characters will do better in the game. I predict this movie will flop if it comes out in the States (but I'll definitely still go see it  )

I don't think it's coming to US theatres. Last I checked, it was direct-to-video and under the minimum feature film running time of 90 minutes.
As far as the trailer goes, it was good. The animation was excellent and the fights were pretty impressive. However, not being a Final Fantasy fan, I can't really bring myself to appreciate much beyond the aesthetics. |

.... Naaaaaaaaaaaah. FF7 I suppose is up there, but I believe there are at least 3 other FF games that are 100 times better then 7. They had great, detailed stories, great characters, and so on. FF7 lacked greatly in both story and characters.

That is a huge overstatment. FF7 had great story and characters (they were at least good enough for peope not to say that the game was lacking in the). But that's just my opinion. And let's not go into the whole "the best FF7 game" thing because very quickly someone will say that Chrono Trigger is the best RPG ever .

Compares to FF6, FFT, FF8, and FF9, the characters in FF7 were lacking big time. Only one I cared about was Areith, and she died on the first disc. Everyone else... meh. I just continued playing because it was fun, but nothing really intrested me. Not the best FF game, and DEFINATLY not the best RPG. Lucca, Schala, Kid, and Harley = Best female RPG characters EVER And don't get me started on Yasunori Mitsuda. *_* He is my videogame music god.

How so - all of the playable characters in FFVII were given a back story if you paid attention, and everything wrapped up quite nicely in that department. The story was quite well written with few plot holes when under the microscope - unlike FFVIII spoiler[all of the main characters just 'forgot' that they all lived together as children, give me a break]. I'll be the first one to agree that FFVII is by no means The Best RPG Ever nor The Best Final Fantasy Game Ever, but the jury is still out on what exactly is the best in both departments (I still think that Tales of Phantasia is up there with the other best RGP's). However, anyone that has played the game will admit that it was one of the most successful games ever made (Definitely at least in the Play Station department) - heck the are still selling it. |

Personally, I like RPGs with lots of characters, so I'd have to say FF6 is my favorite. 7's OK, probably 3rd or 4th favorite.
Tactics is #2, again, I like LOTS of characters, which is why Genso Suikoden is my favorite RPG series (although 3 wasn't that great..., but nonetheless, it had a bit of nostalgia to it). |

I think everyone brings up FF7 as "best ever" because if you think about it, this is THE game that jump started the RPG market in America. I remember when this game came out, all the TV and magazine ads sported the CG scenes and probably caught a lot people's attention. It got a lot of people interested in the Playstation as well. I know this game got me to want to know what the other six games before it were like, as well as other games like it.

My favorite FF is 4. Anyway I liked the subbed trailer. I hope all the alive characters from the game's ending have a cast part in this CG movie. I haven't seen Red13(Nanaki), Yuffie Kisargi, Cid,Cat Sith,or Tifa in the trailers yet and I hope they appear by the next one. My least favorite character in FF7 is Cat Sith and Cid needs some anger mangement....

I wouldn't say FF7 "jump started the RPG market in America." Sure, it probably made RPGs mainstream enough to general gamers or to anyone interested in a Playstation, but plenty of people were playing RPGs prior to that. The only reason it may have been even considered a "jump starter" was because it was CG. Personally, there are more 2D RPGs that I like more when compared to 7's 3D and CG (Chrono Trigger being my favorite). And prior to 7, only 3 or 4 of them were actually out in the U.S. at the time, not 6. I think 1, 2, 3/6, and Mystic Quest, which I don't think is really a part of the other 3, were the only ones out back then. |

I'm inclined to agree with Tony on this one... jump starting and mainstreaming are clearly two different things.
I had played several of the FF games prior, not to mention Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Warrior games, etc. RPG's have been around for a long time in the U.S. |
