Though I don’t have too much to say about it, I saw a (fairly badly subtitled) version of the Final Fantasy VII sequel/movie Advent Children last night.

Lots of the fight scenes seemed very matrix inspired, and the plot didn’t come close to the intricacy of the original game, but it was so cool to see all the old characters again. It’s a pity that it wasn’t a made as game instead, but in a way it’s probably for the best. At least in a movie you don’t have to come up with some bad explanation why everyone suddenly lost all their experience points and have to fight the wimpy enemies all over again.

A remake of Final Fantasy VII (a la Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes) is probably about the only think that would make me bother with the next generation of consoles. Sigh, here’s hoping.
