Advent children leaked with English subs apparently

evad_lhorg

I have heard today that the dvd has leaked online with english subtitles. probably a very bad thing as most people who are into FF are geeks and understand how and where to get it.

The Jap onw with subtitles? September 14th I think it'll be available. Might be a bit after that before it starts appearing on ebay and other places.

Thing is that people, me for example, would prefer subtitles to crappy dubbing any day.

I reckon I'll just wait it out though.

evad_lhorg

but i tihnk it was delayed here and the US so it wouldnt have crappy dubbing.

I heard about it being leaked, but I think the subs were made by a fan, so the translation could be rubbish.

halenger

It wasn't leaked per se. The DVD went on sale in Japan and it was released onto the net. All english subs are fan subs - there are no english sub on the japanese DVD, unfortunately. I've heard it's good. Looking forward to getting the DVD shame it's delayed so damn much. I don't care about dubbing. Just want the Japanese DVD with english subs. *sighs*

Translations would be pretty good I'd imagine. Fans do this a lot - people translate Japanese anime etc regularly. These are the sorta people who'd be doing a translation.

Think I may have to talk to the cousins in japan about this for research purposes.

evad_lhorg

i talked to my cousins last night too. they got me it with subtitles.

I'm hoping my cousins aren't evil and actually give it to me with subs.

20% downloaded so far,
Bittorent is a God send

Mist

I got it today, only took like and hour and a half. Need to download a seperate subtitle file.

Hanginthere

Possibly ,one of the greatest movies... ever.. visually stunning and a treat to watch, good subs too

Retr0gamer

Is the story any good or is it just pretty. I hope they don't contradict the story of FFVII, which I'm worried that they will.

BTW: You shouldn't be referring to your cousins in Japan by calling them bittorrent

Yeh noticed that in one of the first trailers... just pops open holding about 12 swords, handy as hell... and he has a smaller dagger-esque one on him too

Saviour_Angel

Guy / Girls, if your interested in FF get this, especially if you love FF7...
I got it in less then and hour and was a little aprehencious but it was all worth it.

The English translation is very near perfect and I bet better then any dubs that will come out.

PS. The sample's and trailers are nothing compared to the whole movie.
One hour and forthy miuntes of the charactors we all love.

The Free Man

man my cousins are taking ages..... i cant wait!

My 90yr old granny in Japan sent me the FF dvd but put the wrong movie in the box. Don't you just hate when that happens :mad:

grimloch

I wonder who will be playing the the English voices on a seemingly unrelated note.

I may be imagining it but I heard Justin Timberlake is playing Cloud, I'll take my subtitles thank you very much.

Eminem is on IMDB as playing Mr Coates.
Anyone remember Mr Coates? What a minor character, how the flip did he make it into the film? My guess is he's now king of coral or some such.

evad_lhorg

So anyway i flew over to japan earlier and watched this with my distant family.

AMAZING. ppure genius

I laughed my ass off after the first tifa fight when the guys phone rang

amazing animation too.


the subs were in the file i got already. very easy to figure out how to work em tbh.

Anima

Good movie. Bit confusing in places. Can't wait for the english version to come out.

herobear

grr!!!, stupid subs wont work

i have one sub zip file containing:
1 .sfv file
and 1 .idx file, now what i do ??

also got a msinfo file

????

if this isnt allowed please feel free to delete, thanks

Infini

Got my hands on the film myself. I have to say that this film is GREAT!
Just hope that the english version is as good in terms of voice acting.

Just watched first half of it on my lunch break. Looks excellent so far. Took nearly two days to get it "sent from japan". I had to get seperate subtitle file. Then from VideoLAN media player, went File->Open and selected the movie file to open. Beside that there is a "Subtitles" check box. Select this, then browse to wherever you saved your subtitles file. VideoLAN player is free if u don't have it.
Subtitles seem spot on too

evad_lhorg

Id well do Tifa tbh !

airetam_storm

Oh i havent seen the film so i dont wanna read the threads spoilers

...so...tempting

Glad to hear its great tho, i was quite worried they might make a meal of the story written in VII. Eminem as Mr. Coates is alright as he's only a v.minor character, but so help me God if Justin Timberlake dubs Cloud :mad:

Ethan Ross

In my humble opinion, Advent Children was utter crap. Great visuals, nothing about the story I didn't see coming.

grimloch

It's not bad, nothing wonderful but a good enough view.

I suppose the rest of this post should be in a spoiler tag.

I didn't like the shockingly little amount of time some of the characters had on screen Cid, Yuffie and Red for example barely have a paragraph between them. Fair enough it was only an hour and a half but it didn't feel like they were really needed there.

Extra screen time would really really have been a plus.

As mentioned before, predictable bits like the last fight with Sephiroth. Not too much of a story to string the fight scenes together but then again I'm sure the constraints of time kicked in there.

Visuals were bitchin' and the fights were very nice indeed.The last bit with the sword thingy is very snazzy and the Bahamut fight is very impresive indeed.

For an hour and a half it was good, like I said I'd have liked another 45 minutes slapped on but I liked what they did with they little time they had.

Anyway I'm sort of looking forward to another look at the yoke.

Anima

I think there were too many fight scenes. Which made the movie seem really short. The story was a bit lacking but not bad I guess. I don't see why they even needed "geostigma" in the story though.

My subtitles file was 57kb. Says a lot really .

Ethan Ross

It was needed. Geostigma was the planets way of dealing with the remaining Jenova cells by killing those who were reborn with them as quickly as possible, so as to re-introduce them to the lifestream and place the cells in a constant cycle of phase, never allowing those who were infected to reach physical maturity, and become that which Jenova wanted, her soldiers. Furthermore, constantly cycling the cells in and out of the stream makes sure that at all times, a certain percentage of her cellcount is perminantly inaccessable.

Whats the file size of this? Cos theres a few floating around.

Around 700 megs.

Anima

Crap, your right Ethan. Kinda forgot about that, was late when I was watching it.

Ethan Ross

No problem, sir.

Kiith

this film blew my ****ing mind. it was absolutly amazing. seeing the chars on screen was great. and thank god they didnt turn cloud into an annoying girly looking char, like tidus.

fav bits were definatly

When Sephiroth first came into it. Cloud fly's down, hits the guy (cant remember his name) and he changes,THE sword appearing, and "its been a while cloud"....man i loved it

The fight against Bahamut Zero was great

Anyone else think Rufas kicked ass? hated him in the game, but he was great here

Seeing Aeris at the end, hen she walks off with zack. ah man, it sends a chill down my spine just thinking about it

i would liked to have seen more screen time with the other chars, but i can do without them for now.

and yes, would definalty do Tifa

Zapp Brannigan

Ive tried "acquiring" it twice now and both times Ive gotten two french films!!!

Anima

There is no english version, Slurms. What difference does it make?

Zapp Brannigan

No, I've gotten two different French Films. Not Advent Children!

Retr0gamer

Finally got to see it and I have to say I'm not impressed. The visuals were very impressive and the action was very impressive if a little over the top but it can be forgiven for that. However the story wasn't great at all and in many ways contradicted the story of FFVII especially in it's disregard for

brining back dead characters, yes you Rufus.

There are a lot of things that annoyed me about the story.

I don't see how Jenova would ressurect Sephiroth over ressurecting herself. Sephiroth was after all a puppet being used by Jenova to ressurect herself. She could have done the same with Kadaj. Seems he was just brought back because the fans like him.

It seems that they tried to please fans by showing more of the characters they know but in doing so have messed up what the fans really loved about the game, the story and the characters human reactions to the story. I doubt people wanted to see their characters performing super human feats especially when it has come at the expense of this huge missed oppurtunity. My favourite scens in FFVII haven't been the action packed scenes but the ones when involving the characters, cloud and aerith in the church, tifa and cloud in the lifestream, barret and dynes past etc. They should have kept it to Uematsu's plan and left it alone instead of appeasing the shareholders with a surefire profit maker.

It's not altogether bad just not worthy of the title.

Kiith

i had just assumed she couldnt bring herself back like that, cause alot of the green stuff in the canister (jenove cells??) had fallen out, after rufas shot it. she brought back Sephiroth because he could do whatever was needed to bring her back again. but i could be wrong.

Retr0gamer

I thought the same but remember right at the end of FFVII when Sephiroth faced Cloud without Jenova to strengthen him. He was in fact quite weak and was beaten soundly by Cloud. I'm sure Kadaj would be of sufficient strength to revive Jenova by carrying out the reunion.

Kiith

ya, i agree that some of the fights were way over the top, but i still loved them. and i was happy they were really powerful, since by the time i cleared FFVII my chars were bloody overpowered. was kinda worried after the first fight where Cloud got soundly kicked by Kadaj's gang, but he renewed my faith during the Bahamut fight scene.

watched it again last night, and my fav bits now are:

Seeing Aeris and Zach at the end, or when Cloud is going to Ajit, and the vision he has about Aeris, where he asks to be forgiven.

and when Cloud starts bitchslapping Bahamut, with the cool music. dammit it rocks

i'd love to get a better translated version though, or learn japanese

evad_lhorg

best music in that filmfor me has to be when you see Kadaj and Rufus talking about reunion.

Retr0gamer

Loved the music in it other than the music that played during the Tifa fight in the church. What an utterly terrible remix.

grimloch

The JENOVA remix was excellent, in fact my favourite piece in the film, I thought and the sort of metally edge they had going with Onw Winged Angel was nice too.

The soundtrack will be one to watch for.

The voices well pretty much what I imagined they'd sound like, except I always imagined Sephiroths voice as being more drawn out.

Retr0gamer

Think the soundtrack comes with Advent Children as part of a bundle in Japan. i might consider buying it if it does when it comes out over here.

Zapp Brannigan

Em it seems I got a version without subtitles, anything I can do do understand it?
