Just done watching Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete. Note that it's a newer and better version of Advent Children...
Basically, it's just some more new scenes, more action and more story told...most importantly, the final battle between Sephiroth and Cloud has intensified. There's rarely any blood spilled except on Sephiroth's Masamune after he stabbed Cloud in the shoulder in the previous version.
But in the current version...ho ho, oh brother.
Impalement after impalement...cuts after cuts...each swing of the Masamune draws blood from Cloud's fair, delicate skin...blood oozing out of the wounds and splatters all around him as Cloud hits the ground.
Boy, am I enjoying this...
Sephy's definitely gotten more bad ass from the previous installment. He even took on his "winged-angel form" for more elegant moves. The fight's an epic win...
However, despite this being a newer version of the movie, the traditional rule of "Good will triumph over Evil" has not been abolished. Apparently, people still prefer happy ending eh? Not me, that's for sure...
It has always been like this...the villains are definitely stronger than the protagonists...but to portray that goody-goodies always wins, the villains are FORCED to lose because the protagonists will receive a sudden burst of strength out of something as minute as a piece of PowerPoint slide show of the protagonists' friends and family pictures at the end despite being mortally wounded or even dead...
Ah no matter...I'm glad Sephy's attained new heights with his new arsenal of swordsmanship...
Oh and I gotta give Reno and Rude credit too...they've gotten more screen time...I think...and needless to say, more comedy. Although it's a shame that they took away the scene when Reno climbed the building to help out Rufus, but the new scenes sure made up for the removed ones...
Unfortunately, no videos up here yet since there ain't no decent piece of video uploaded yet, but I'll keep an eye out for em...
W00t~~~
