I shall mention that I watched Advent Children tonight in an odd stop-and-go DVD with English and Swedish subtitles. All I know of FF7 comes from translating djs lo these many years ago. (So many years ago that I feel quite nostalgic about it now.) This is a good thing because, as I discovered while googling for extra info without which the film is just a tad obscure, yes? the original graphics for the game are little short of giggle-worthy. The unsettling eerieness of AC's look is still preferable to these cute chibi guys in their brite colours.

Also no-one commenting on Gojou's five most lovable traits mentions that he reads on the john, but we actually have Minekura's word for that.

Also my mouse has gotten quite genki all of a sudden and overhighlights whenever I highlight. I have dark suspicions that this is somehow linked to the computer having arbitrarily decided that it will once again turn off screen and hard drive after 30 minutes as instructed. It used to, then it stopped, now it does again. HAL approaches sentience. Tremble.

I think it'd get up my nose that the only way to have more of them would be via KH with Mickey and Goofy and Donald Duck thrown in.

It's not as awful as I thought it would be, as the Squaresoft characters used in the main plotline stay almost entirely within non-Disney worlds. IIRC the only crossover between Square characters and Disney settings happens in the Hercules Coliseum, and there you're just fighting them (and fighting Cloud and Sephiroth has a sort of tunnel effect of diminishing one's awareness that your comrades in arms are beings that resemble Goofy and Donald XD). It's really not as shocking to the system as it probably ought to be. XD;;

shiny_monkey's right though: King Mickey is a crime against nature. XD

For the RPH virgin, who or what is King Mickey?

He starts off the non-Sora plotline in KH1 and then thankfully disappears for the remainder of the game. Unfortunately he's back in a major (http://www.kh2.co.uk/image.php?view=kh2/images/img178.jpg) way (http://www.kh2.co.uk/image.php?view=kh2/images/d39.png) in the 2nd game. I haven't seen him in any shots with the FFVII guys though, so hopefully Squeenix was merciful to those of us who are only playing for the FF matchups.

Why they had to ruin a perfectly good FF game by sticking in Disney characters, grumble, grumble....

Would you like a copy of Last Order? Does a good job of explaining Cloud's emo-ness. And there are Turks! :D

Bleah, that should have been

"He starts off the non-Sora plotline in KH1 by disappearing, leaving behind a note dispatching Donald and Goofy on a mission to locate the Keymaster (Sora) since all the various Disney worlds are somehow vanishing."

since all the various Disney worlds are somehow vanishing

You aren't allowed to say 'good' and go play another part of the game? ^_^

Thanks for the Last Order offer but I have Win98 and a limit to what I can play. (Turks? Rude and Reno and them-all? The slapstick comedy duo? I uhh didn't quite see the appeal of Rude and Reno from watching AC, I must say.)

Heheheh, suprisingly though, it's not a bad game. Once you get over the shock of playing next to Disney characters, that is. ^_^;;

I have a copy of the Advent Pieces dvd containing all the extras, of which one is the Last Order OVA. It does play on my standalone dvd player, so if you wanted to see if it might play on yours, I'll be happy to send it to you.

The Turks are much more powerful in the game, so I think part of the appeal of seeing them in the movie is that they're so wimpy in comparison to everyone else (yet they still retain that "we're badass" vibe). XD
