Just finish watching the movie FFVII - Advent Children 15 mins ago and already I've a couple of high resolution screenies/wallpapers lying inside my hdd..muahhaa..Watching the movie kinda "refresh" my memories about the game's story I played 6 or 7 years ago. Although the movie is a little bit "rush" and "short" (well, IMAO anyway) I still love it so much and thank god the Square Enix didn't ruin my good old memories I had for so many years. As far as I remember, all the main characters in the game appears inside the movie.
Ok, let me refresh your memory by listing the names in game :
Cloud Strife : The very dedicated hero in FF7 as well as the main character in the movie. He is all alone in the world, wondering if they done the right thing in attempting to save the planet. He now sports a new look wearing a black outfit instead of the purple from FFVII. He carries his trademark buster sword and kicking Sephiroth's ass like old times.
Sephiroth : The ultra-powerful genealogical son of Jenova (biological son of Hojo and Lucrecia), this guy has some major problems. His "mother" is a planet-devouring entity, his true father is a medical psychopath, and he's got enough firepower to down a few solar systems. If he'd never met his real mother, he might have been quite a nice guy.
Zack : Can't really remember him..hmm..He's a soldier killed by Shinra soldiers and Cloud took over his job. He appears as flashback in movie.
Aerith Gainsborough : The mysterious flower girl and happy-go-lucky daughter of a Cetra and a human seems almost too good to be true for Cloud...and it soon turns out that she is. Aeris's tragic history is cut all too short by Sephiroth, who makes sure she doesn't get in the way of his plan. Her magical powers are admired by all. Also known as
Aeris.
Tifa Lockheart : Tifa and Aerith share main heroineship in FF7. Bartending in Seventh Heaven bar and also a member of AVALANCHE. She's the only one who holds the truth about Cloud's past. In the movie, her wardrobe has been updated with her appearing to wear something similar to Rinoa in FF VIII. She now looks after Marlene and other orphans while working at Seventh Heaven.
Barrett Wallace : The dark-skinned leader of AVALANCHE. He's equipped with powerful tommy gun (heh, machine gun) on his arm. He adopted Marlene as his daughter. In the movie, he leaves Marlene in Tifa's care to search for new energy to replace Mako.
Vincent Valentine : Sorta "ghost" guy in the game and in movie. He fell in love with Lucrecia while working with Dr. Gast and Hojo. However he kept his feelings to himself, seeing her feelings for Hojo instead of him. Later he's linked to Jenova incident. Vincent wears a red cape and is able to transform into monsters during battle. He uses a small pistol for normal attack.
Cid Highwind : A rough, crusty middle-aged aviator. He uses a spear in battle and he's never without a cigarette. I can still remember the funny almost ending scenes in the FF7 game's CG movie where he's with his cigarette and his flying ship.
Red XIII : Looks like a muscular tiger with red fur and a always lighting tail. Red XIII was what Hojo called him when Hojo grabbed him for biological research. Red is also the defender of Cosmo Canyon.
Yuffie Kisaragi : A young ninja-type girl who lives in Wutai. Clueless kind of kid but her pinwheels are pretty deadly in battle.
Marlene : Barrett's super-cute adopted kid (Dyne's daughter), she tends the Seventh Heaven bar when Tifa's out. She's very with it and likes being involved in all the gossip. Playing an important role in the movie with other kids.
Rufus : A vice-president of Shinra Inc. He became president by default when Sephiroth killed his father. He's the wheelchair guy inside the movie.
Reno : The head of the Turks after Tseng passed on. He enjoys a good drink and never does anything beyond what his job requires.
Rude : The baldheaded, silent member of the Turks, he just goes along with whatever Reno tells him. He enjoys a good gambling night. Cool shades, Rude.
In the movie Reno and Rude appear on screen pretty often, but in the game they're just some small characters who jumps out and cause so disturbance to cloud and his partner's plan. I can't remember them good.. (or maybe I'm just growing old..)
