I'm not expecting a sequel, this topic is just for fun, just sare your ideas what you would do if you made an AC sequel? Like storyline and stuff

Note: Before anyone starts commenting on the "fanboys" remember if you don't like Final Fantasy VII or Advent Children then don't try to spoil people's fun

honestly I dont see where they would go with the story past what they had. Mabye they have another way to revive sepiroth or mabye another company tries to finish what shinra had started, but I just dont see a clear cut good story line idea stemming from the end of AC. So I would say I wouldnt make a sequal, instead I would make a movie of 7 the game, so a movie of the events that happened during the game.

I don't think that would work, not because it's a bad idea... but here's a slight alteration - a TV series.

How about after the battle there were still remnants of Jenova left, those created the three silver haired men, they are trying to find...oh wait, that already happened.

I say, this is enough for FF VII, it already got more than enough milking and I couldn't think of anything else to sink this game anymore.

Aerith comes back to life somehow, but her hair is even more red than usual, and she calls herself Phoenix.

ROFL HAHAAHAHHHAHA


Nono in all seriousness, if it were to have a sequel, it would have to be much later in the future. Like, Cloud and Tifa would have to have kids, the old character cast would not be the main characters.

It'd kinda be like Kenshin. How Kenji is born, and his story with Yahiko and growing up and whatever. It would have to be a continuation of the FF7 world and not upon the characters, because there's really nothing you can do with the storyline except repeat what has already happened

Look, as cool as AC was (well I thought it was anyway so shhh), enough is enough. Thats why Cloud is so moody, he's tired. Let him get some rest eh SE? I don't see why VIII doesn't get some attention, theres plenty of stories there.

Well it seems I haven't put my idea down, I agree with Pes, there's nothing really much left to do on Sephiroth, but then again you have to, otherwise it wouldn't be good (or wouldn't sell).

I say some offspring of Hojo that we didn't know about would also end up being Sephiroth's brother would be brought alive after Hojo froze him. He comes and fights with Cloud and the gang, after telling them who he's related to, then afterwards, he just disappears without having been killed, after this concerns the others they go on a quest to find him, when they run into him in a secret lab in Midgar Shinra HQ undergrouind, they find he's been plotting ways to resurrect Sephiroth, and has succeeded, and it's only a matter of time before he returns but when he does they find that Jenova is dead so she isn't controlling him anymore, so Sephiroth and the gang turn on his brother and kill him. THE END! Rofl

I don't know about a movie... Maybe an OVA.

Well, I sure would like to see an older (but not much! ) Denzel, with some battle skill *maybe thought by Cloud). A mini-Cloud (I mean a son (and/or daughter) of Cloud and Tifa) would be cute!

And I sure as hell want to see the Turks again!

As for the plot, better leave Sephiroth to rest in peace, I think. maybe the plot could revolve around the rebuild of Shinra Inc. To make things more complicate, Denzel could join up with the Turks, driving cloud and Tifa to madness!
That would also make the relationship between Denzel and marlene more interesting as well.

There's only two directions to go now. REALLY forward, or REALLY backward (in the history)

1. If they were to go forward MANY years, to show Cloud and Tifa's kids, Marlene grown up, Denzel grown up, maybe some Red XIII offspring, etc, and have Sephiroth move on to fight the YOUNGER generation now. Like, Sephiroth never goes away, so Cloud's kids and the other grown up kids have to suffer for it.

or

2. Backward. Which they're already doing with the game wit the Turks and Crisis Core. Explain the intricate history of FF7, expand on the badass characters ,etc, which i do like very much, i don't see it as milking, i see it as satisfying what fans asked for

How about this? You know with the whole Tifa loves Cloud but Cloud could still never forgive himself for what happened to Aerith. And I've almost finished beating the game of Dirge of Cerberues. How about if the four demons inside of Vincent try to break free, yet the only way for him to control them is to go to the four corners of the world to collect a special materia. With Tifa along for the ride

Hell, Sephy could appear every now and then to mess things up, and we could even have Cloud realize Tifa's feelings but its already to late!! Muwahaha

sorry sugar got the best of me and felt like throwing something new in there.

Lol, yeah well I think you demonstrated that there are many doors open for another FF7 sequel. But the way Square has been milking the series, we all probably knew that already. =p

I would prefer to have Sephiroth stay dead this time though, if there was another film.
Focus more on character development, like with the Cloud and Tifa relationship you mentioned.

Let Sephiroth stay dead and leave it at that! A new storyline or whatever surrounding Cloud and Tifa would also be cool, rather than a recycled washed up one. Like everyone already said, if Square were to make a sequel I would definetly want some sort of new "badguy" to be the main villian. Of course I would hope for in a AC sequel to have some more fighting and way more character development, not only with the main characters but also with Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie, etc. Meh, Square could make the movie a little longer I guess, leaving more room for action and story sequences. Maybe 2 hours instead of barely being 1 hour and 20 minutes?

You can develope all you want, but Sephiroth will never die. Plus, the rivalry between Squall and He IMO could possibly be even bigger and cooler than one between say, Yuber and Pesmerga. I think it's the ultimate Yin and Yang.

Sephiroth will always be around Cloud, it's who he is. But you don't have to have a movie revolve around it

You can;t have Sephiroth be killed off and carry on without him, it defeats the object, Final Fantasy VII is revolved around Sephiroth, he's the shadow that darkens the atmosphere he's the main villain, it would be like Harry Potter without Voldemort.

Yesh, yesh, I agree - && continuing with an older post on this topic, I think a TV series would work a LOT better than a sequel! On the other hand, I have no idea what the story line would be... probably involving something way in the future. Gosh, I'm such a mooch off of other posts! >.<'

If they HAD to make something new, make the damn game/film exploring Jenova's arrival on the planet. That be infinitely more interesting and would clear up a lot of very vague things in the game.

If they can't do that and they DO make asequel to FFVII... Gandhi preached civil disobedience as opposed to violence but he never had to deal with something as vile as Square-Enix.

We all know Square won't touch the FFVII plot holes in a million years, instead they will just create more plot holes and more Sephiroths (See Crisis Core for example)...

The only sequel of FFVII that seems to have cleared anything up is dirge of cerberus (I havn't played it yet though so I might be wrong) but it was great to see Vincent's story and even though it didn't touch on any of the games main plot (to my knowledge) at least it cleared up something instead of just having some random plot that didn't make much sense or have much point to it (Advent children)...

I think Before Crisis may have cleared up some plot details as well but I havn't read the script so I'm not sure...

Holy that would be the best thing in the world is they made ff Advent children 2 ummm as long as they show VINCENTS chaos form um but til then i cant wait for the Limited Edition Collector's Set to come out NExt Month http://dvd.ign.com/objects/872/872084.html

lmao what??? omg an Advent Children 2 would be AWFUL. What kind of plotline would there be? There'd be none. An advent children 2 would REALLLLLY be milking the cow. Fans criticized Square for "Milking the Cow" with Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, and Advent Children, but I think those were merely what the fans wanted (Parts of the storyline expanded upon, because the game clearly didn't do enough). But an Advent Children 2 would have no effect on FF7, it would just be milking it for sure.

I mean, the Limited Edition Set barely has ANY upgrades from the orginal DVD, and the Blu-Ray disc has like, 2 new scenes.

Crisis Core is definitely a must (Fans were left asking more about Zack and the early events). Dirge of Cerberus was a must (Vincent was a BIG fanbase). Advent Children was a must (Fans wanted to see the cast of FF7 again.) But anything more would drag it on

Blah.

You know, what they need to do to is drop Cloud and Tifa already. Their relationship has been explored.

Movie about Cait Sith. Movie about Cid. Yeah. Cait Sith and Cid's big adventure. Damn, I'd watch that because it'd be friggin awesome.

Episode 14

Cait Sith vs. The Buggy from Lifestream

As Cid was fixing Cloud's old buggy from their previous adventures, he was absorbed by it's engine, which has been running off lifestream! Cait Sith now must take on the Ghost of Lifestream... and it's a GIANT SPIDER?!! Find out next time on Cid and Cait Sith's Big Adventure!

=D

It's a hell of a lot better than what AC was, with reviving dead characters, making no sense out of something that made little sense to start with, and making Cloud's friends nothing more than (very) cheap fan service.

They might as well have not showed up at all. Cloud and Tifa vs. those three silver haired dudes would've been enough for the movie.

It's true, Vincent has already been explored, (And although Cait Sith hasn't appeared really, he has per se in Dirge of Cerberus. He's playable and Reeve is a semi-major character)


But yes, Cid has barely been touched upon, and so wasn't Red XIII. Both could be expanded upon very much. Barrett too i guess.

I think I've had enough with VII's perfomances. Please let this title stays good and memorable in my heart plz, coz they're starting to ruin it. =(

Yes yes, if there has to be one, it better be not about reviving Sephiroth anymore. For God's sake, he has failed twice from his attempt to rule the world, isn't it pathetic to revive him again ? And we all know he will lose to Cloud again. lol @ spoiler

I personally wanted a story like BC. The golden era of Shinra Corp, TURKS and Sephiroth with his 1st class SOLDIERs, yes a prequel of FF VII before the Nibelheim incident. That would rocked. But hey, then it won't be Advent Children anymore, and where's Cloud ? XD

You know what A sequal to advent sounds interesting indeed.......I wonder.....

Let's see, we already have two prequels, CC and BC. We have two sequels, DoC and AC... Let's just leave it at that please...

I'm a FF VII fanboy and I even think that enough is enough! Let them focus on other stuff so that another game like FF XII comes out. (which I can't wait to play.)

Really any other ones you happen to know of, because once again i am compleatly lost in this......I need to stop bieng so damned confused.

You want Cloud? That would be Crisis Core. Lol. But it's Zacks-centric.

Honestly, I wish there won't be any sequels. But I suspect that they would want to do something about Genesis. Sephiroth has been pwned a bit too much, don't you think?

i dont know about sequel but their in the development of a prequel called crisis core. and their is talk of a DoC 2 game.

lets see....how about NO, wouldn't be a good idea AT ALL, I mean...that's about it for FFVII, isn't it?? unless of course it's Far into the future, an Anime series, which is like a 13 episode OVA, for the first 5 or 6 episodes it has nothing to do with FFVII, but a whole different plot with different characters and SOME of the old places, being abandoned and in ruins.

Then, we discover the connections, and it all leads to a climatic battle towards the 11th or 12th episode which envolves - like usual - the whole planet. We could then discover ties between the main characters and the original party, hell, we could even see a return of Sephiroth and a fight between him and Cloud's grand grand grand son or something

IT SHOULD BE ABOUT RUFUS AND THE TURKS.

Then I could die without regrets. ...After I play KH3, DMC4, MGS4, SH5, and FFXIII, that is.

what is this ova you speak of and dont tell me its last order

As much as I love Sepihroth (Sorry about all spelling mistakes from this point foward) he doen't need to come back...again. Sha I would like to see Cloud and Tifa get together. And actually SEE it happen not years later they are married. But in all seriousness what more would square want? What we've got's enough. I haven't even gotten through all of it.
