[Cloverfield]

LOL ... yeah, I have a really bad obsession. Oh well, it doesn't hurt me... but trying to read all that Japanese may just give me eye strain.

The site is http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/...030926/se1.htm ... but you won't find that on any English website (at least I haven't yet). All the English websites just have the same images (damn they cut part of Sephy's face in half ... and I know there's a full version out there as I saw it on thumbnail) and information.

Also, here is a translation of an interview that appeared on a Japanese site from the creators. I found it on another forum I occasionally visit.

From this interview:
http://www.videogamerx.net/bbs/view.php?id=vx01&no=2296

Kevlar translated:

Many staff members are those who had worked on FF7

Chose movie form, as sequel games are just too common

Worked on for 1 1/2 years so far

around 60 minutes of movie

Development cost is reasonable (compare to Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within)

Square Pictures is long gone so it isn't helpful. However, learnings from Square Pictures are helpful

Why no remake? FF7 is playable in PS2 (since PS1 software can be played), so there is no need for a "remake".

It will be available in summer 2004


A bit more from that interview:

2 year after the events of FFVII. Many people are suffering from "Meteor"-itis (whatever it may be... some left-over problem from Meteo). Cloud has chosen lonely life.

(voice of a little girl)

One day, (we) used power

So the star (planet) is still alive

But many people became stars

Many hearts became stars

... and (we) thought nothing was going to happen...



(Cloud is riding a bike)

(A man in silver hair appears... )

(Sephiroth's theme plays)

Cloud: I can't be forgiven. I want to be forgiven

(in front of a grave) Cloud: I will live your share of life, too.. so I had decided...

(a man sitting on a rocking chair)

(a man in silver hair is shown)

(Sephiroth disappears behind flame)

It sounds like the second part is describing some kind of promo movie that may have been shown at TGS ... it all sounds really interesting.
