Hey ya'll, thanks for watching, hope ya enjoyed! Bit of a weird one this time around, really wanted to try out something different and this is uhhhh definitely that. Pathologic Part 2 is in the works, another shorter video coming soon, it's gonna be sick. Anyways, there's no way in hell I'm gonna be able to monetize this video, so if you happened to enjoy it, please consider supporting the showe over on Patreon! Even just a buck or two helps a ton in keeping the channel consistent and growing~
Ruby are you embracing your teenage girl phase
With this video out, now I kinda want to hear your thought on Spirits Within, both as an FF movie and as a standalone.
The AMV made me feel half my age and I can't decide if that's a positive or not
It is, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Something about the way Tifa said “You have geostigma…Don’t you” somehow makes me think it sounds like she’s asking Cloud if he has an STD 😭
Tbh, the movie is just fanservice throw up and I loved every single second of it, especially the second half.
the fact that i'm completely on board with the amv makes me so mad. that tifa wall landing is the sickest shit i've ever seen wtf
Advent Children has the best scene in any movie ever, when Cloud mashes through Rufus Shinra’s dialogue after he shows up alive again.
i think by far the hardest visual asset to make for this video was the fake devianart post. i had to channel some dark repressed energy for that one
I’m just shocked the AMV wasn’t set to Linkin Park
Give it time, i got a Broly AMV in the works that'll blow your mind
@@CodexEntry holy shit please, you should make an amv twitter or something (since youtube would decimate the copyright)
Holy shit, I genuinely forgot it wasn’t 2006 watching that.
The fact that the opportunity to name the Explanation/Justification portion of the video "Dilly Dallying Shilly Shallying" was missed hurts me.
Fortunately i always was in the camp of "This is trash but the action is amazing". The highway fight is my favorite part and i was so sad that bike fighting in 7RE wasn't like that.
I don't even care about any of these characters yet that AMV hit me in the fucking feels. great video
Advent children was actually my first exposure to ff7 when I was eight. Did I understand the story? No. Did I find it somehow gorgeously compelling and have the music downloaded go years? Yes. I did not play the original game or any associated media until last year, which made for a strange experience. But I found myself adoring the og game and remake, and advent children has a special place in my heart for making me understand some of Cloud's spectacular emotional issues and how *big* and beautiful the world of the game is. Plus it has great music still.
The perfectly lined up lipsync at 9:06 instantaneously shot me back 10 years in time
I have to shamefully admit that my first introduction to Final Fantasy as a series was not through a game or even Advent Children but instead through The Spirits Within. My dad was completely enamored with that movie for some unfathomable reason, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that he did not know what Final Fantasy was
Oh man, what turned him on to it, without knowing what Final Fantasy was??😊
One thing that always bugs me about Nomura's version of FFVII is that he always portraits Zack as a ghost (usually paired with Aeirth in "the afterlife") when the entire mythology of the game revolves around reincarnation. Like the only reason there's any problems in this world is because an alien lifeform died on the planet and became a cancer in the lifeblood of the planet. There is no afterlife in the FFVII universe. I can accept the idea that Aeirth is "in the lifestream" because she's a special little special. Zack? He died months before the plot, everything we know about this universe means he is reincarnated.
So there is no heaven 🤔
@@itsDjjayy No heaven, and even reincarnation doesn't fully sum it up. Zack isn't reborn as a new human. Part of him is a blade of grass, part of him is in a pool somewhere slowly crystallizing into an all materia, part of him was burned in a mako reactor to power a fridge to keep someone's beer cool, and part of him has been mixed with bits of several other people to be born as a new human. There is no keeping your individuality after death. Even Aerith only held on for a little while, with a lot of power, with no implication that she could keep it up once her task was complete.
@@generatoralignmentdevalue interesting 🤔
That AMV takes me back to high school. Looking up AMVs on Kazaa, delving into music genres that I would soon consider favorites and realizing that maybe I wasn't really into the 'emo' scene and instead just liked the black and blue color scheme.
Facts same with anime
Did I just watch an AMV in 2021?
Honestly how the hell do those models look that good.
Right? the movie really holds up visually.
I still love Advent Children, even rewatching it last year. It's still so fun for me to watch and I LOVE the fights.. I have it on DVD, PSP UMD, and Blu Ray.
I wasn't ready for the AMV section holy shit. Catapulted me back to 2013 (in a good way)
Hey Ryan, just wanted to tell you that the amount of time, effort and attention to detail you put into your videos does not go unnoticed. You are criminally underrated as a content creator and you should have way more views/subscribers. Please keep doing what you do, and hopefully in time your channel will get the recognition it deserves.
That fucking AMV shot me back to 2007 in a big bad way.
Also, My Chemical Romance still slaps, The Black Parade is fucking great, I dont give a FUCK!
No Drowning Pool? No Animal I Have Become? You're tempting fate here.
Okay I'm not done but that AMV was sssiiiccckkkk
I 100% would have watched that amv way to many times if I was back in middle school 10/10
Im still pissed reno and rude never got their comeuppance for murdering thousands of innocents
Dude, IDC! This is the best "AMV" of all time, never felt so young watching a video in my life!
Dear community: where do i find a media with Nomura-esque fighting action directing with writing that makes me give a shit about why it's happening?
I’m 26 and I un-ironically loved that AMV
love your stuff ruby!! looking forward to all the stuff you make!!
This came out around the end of my senior year of college, it was so perplexing but i was so tired from being a college senior that i assumed it was maybe half my fault for not getting it. I'm taking that back 😂 still looks amazing.
HI, I found your channel a month ago and fell in love with its content. Keep up this great work, mate:D
I unironically got chills from that AMV and I kinda fucking hate you for that.
Sorry not sorry ^^
Throughout the years I've come to realize everybody who knows who Nomura is has the same feelings about him.
With that taken care of, I am one of the ones that actually enjoyed the *other* FF Movie.
Yes, *that* one.
The sky in this movie, feels just as much of character as the others, it creates a vibe and I feel like it’s what makes some of the scenes memorable, along with the the shots. Like when cloud is at zacks memorial, or when Rufus and Kadaj are talking, or even the last fight, it goes from light peering thru the sky (kind of symbolizing clouds hope, maybe just me seeing it this way) then to the gray we all know and love when sephiroth appears
Yess, as someone who did not grow up with Final Fantasy, I love this super well explained examinations of people who did. Your insight, clarity and pace is top tier and Ill support you more on patreon again as soon as my own financial situation picks up again.
I remember being 7 and at my grandmother's house for Christmas watching this for the first time and loving it so much even though I had no idea what was going on (also no one knows how my grandma, who has never played a video game in her entire life and never will, got a hold of it). She kept it bc I loved it so much and I would ask to watch it every time I visited her. A part of me will always be upset that she got rid of it at some point. Advent Children will always be what made Found Family my favorite trope.
I'll always love it but now I see it for the dumpster fire it actually is.
Holy shit I need to know the song that plays during the AMV section.
shows up right at the very beginning of the AMV, bottom left corner
@@CodexEntry thanks!
I havent felt anything for years but your AMV awoke something in me again for a brief, brief moment.
I don't know, I always felt it was in a directorial masterclass.
All show, no tell.
The plot is implied more than given to you. That's why I loved the original more than the Complete version.
But I get it wasn't for everyone and you 100% had to know the game backwards and forwards to understand it.
You had me going "yep... yes... yeeees... yep..." through the whole video! And just as I was thinking "Why do I like this movie so much anywa-... oh riiight, AMVs!" you mentioned it ;)
Yes, it's not the best movie or piece of FFVII media, but it's fun to watch and just looks so damn stylish, I love it!
Well done video, thanks for giving me the feels at the end :)
So stoked that its re-releasing in theaters befroe Rebirth launches! I will be going with my daughter (who's finally been introduced to the FF7 universe for herself!). Cant wait!
Man I remember over-analyzing the fighting styles of Yazoo and Loz back then. Although to be fair, Loz is the only one with a recognizable move out of the 3 and it plays into his cooperation with Yazoo.
thanks! the amv was a 10/10 and I didn't know there was a "complete" version! I worked really hard to pirate a copy for me and my friends. We huddled around my laptop and squealed with joy.
The AMV part reminded-me of a "Gaming Channel" in brazillian television(Play TV) like 18 yeas ago that combined music clips with video games, it was a cool memory lane
About the One Winged Angel, when i first saw it(as a teenager) it was my favorite piece of music Ever, nowdays my love for the original ps1 piece grown so hard that i cant stand the guitar part and wish to heavens for a Real Orquestra to play it without including the God Danm Guitar rifs, i'm still hear the Advent Children arrangement time to time when i'm feeling Edgy, but nothing beats the original midi(unless theres a orquestral version of it that i dont know that is more faithful to the ps1 arrange)
I did not realize there was an update! Will definitely have to check out just for the nostalgia and animation.
You captured the vibe of exactly what I loved about the movie. This was beautiful!!
In the german translation, tifa says something like "you're not alone, even when you feel like it, we all got our cross to carry. also stop looking at your phone all the time, everyone you know is in this room". Which I heard is close to the japanese script. Many things made more sense after reading "the way to a smile".
I think the movie was made to look pretty, not to have a great, complicated story. Seeing my favorite characters have actual faces was great.
Also the trope of fighting through survivors guilt, in a world that is fucked because you failed as a hero. Learning to be vulnerable while at the same time figuring out who you are beyond your trauma, while grieving, while chronically ill, while knowing that you might not get old anyways because of cell degradation or something. In beyond stage capitalism. Like bro. Let my emo babygirl rest for a second, give him a hug and a forehead kiss. The angst is delicious and I'm eating it up.
How the movie makes no sense if you haven't played the Og game, including getting the missable cutscenes and characters is incredibly funny to me.
I love the chaos this movie is, 10/10 to me
I had no idea there was a complete cut of the movie :OO I personally love this movie. Like, I am aware it's trash and stuff but it's my guilty pleasure. I love the artistic direction and man, those shots are just scrumptious!!!
This AMV was also really good, damn man, nostalgia hit me so hard on this one seriously...
This was wonderful, thank you!
It amazes me that there are people out there who unironcally like the voices in this movie more then the remake voices
For me I prefer a couple of the old actors like Crispin Freeman as Rude, Quinton Flynn as Reno, and don't even get me started on how much of a downgrade not having George Newbern as Sephiroth is. And you can add Steve Blum as Vincent to that list whenever he's reintroduced.
I mean, most of the voices sound the same, better acting but the voices themselves sound the same, sephiroth is slightly less imposing though I don’t think it’s as bad as people say, rude didn’t speak much to begin with, but Reno’s new voice is a crime against humanity, quinton Flynn nailed that role and and the new voice makes him sound like a little kid
Originally, I watched advent dubbed in my language. The voice acting was pretty good but it was obvious whoever did the translation had no idea what any of the characters was talking about (lol). So I mostly didn't care about the story. After I learned english and watched the english dub, finding out that there is actually a story attached to the action scenes was kind of a plus.
6:44
I never heard this song but holy fuck my mind just got sent back in time to when I was a kid listening to songs like this. AMVs were the coolest shit to me and I saw my fair share of Advent Children AMVs god I feel old and I'm not even 30 yet. 😭
I miss that era of Edgy/cool that only belongs in the early-mid 2000s. 🥺
I had to come back to this movie 2years late to this vid because im currently waiting on a game called wuthering waves that really has this advent children-bleak esque world aesthetic.
It got me nostalgic and thinking back to this, not only because of its style but because of the impact no matter how small or subtle, that its left on me.
I hobestly hope someday the movie gets a modern remake that fixes its flaws and ups whats good about it.
I loved kadaj yazoo and loz and im probly one of the few who understood their demeanor, its weird but its meant to be. The "dont cry" is supposed to be like this sort of "theyre the special ed kid in class" kind of weird problem child aura. Its like an inside joke among the 3 that we're all just left out on but seems to be them trying to have or percieve some form of genuine abstract human emotion. Its as if its some sort of backwards affirmation to each other that theyre not just remnants due to the sephiroth favoritism kadaj spoke of, mixed in with light teasing, masking their longing to be whole with subtle humor.
I hope the games bring them back, they were a cool concept that gets no recognition, i also loved their designs and weapons.
You also missed the perfect opportunity to blast linkin park, like In the end or something. Thats how u deliver the dosage of nostalgia straight to the brain.
Iconic uwu.... actually rewatched after playing Remake. I suggest looking up AC drinking games, the one i did was.... powerful
Could never bring myself to hate this movie. I mean, at least it's the entertaining kind of bad, instead of the boring kind of bad like Spirits Within was. After having seen that snoozefest, this felt like Heaven in comparison. The fight scenes, for the most part, were fire, and at least some of the rest of the movie was funny kind of bad (though some was still the boring kind). And for a shameless cashgrab, Nomura seems to LOVE this movie. For better or worse, there's clearly passion here. I mean every KH game, Dissidia, and FF7R were all trying to have "Advent Children style combat", FF7R ends ups going full-AC at the end and might even be a stealth sequel, and even the freakin' SSBU Sephiroth trailer was one giant AC love letter.
Shameless cashgrab? Sure. But it definitely had passion, misplaced as it sometimes was.
The skill in action Nomura and action posing is a great example of why KH2 is up there with AC as well.
Really wanted to include this in the video cause i had the exact same thought, but didn't really have any room for it, completely on point thought, his talents on that translate amazingly to a lot of his other work.
It's unfortunate there seems to have been some, missteps in KH3 action-wise outside of the CGI. BUT, we will always have Sora's final combo on Xemnas complete with the bad-ass and nonsensical posing at the start in KH2.
A lot of those questions get answered in the complete edition. I actually found out it existed 4 years ago because I was just as taken aback with the lack of backstory explanations. Complete gave a full 26 mins of vital footage that really would have been helpful for this movie. Know that they cut almost a half an hr of footage just pissed me off.🤦🏻
I don't really take seriously ff advent children hate. Even with its flaws the original point of the project(dealing with and moving past clouds regrets about the past) is well told.
6:44 This made me cry holy shit
the fact i got chills from the amv... so good~
Imagine watching the original release copy not having played the game, or any ff game at ALL! And the only thing I could refer it to was the other ff movie that came out a few years beforehand- the spirits within.
So, my poor little brain is trying to connect the story of AC to spirits within in any way possible (because there were some similarities) while watching this, trying to figure out wtf is going on. Is this a prequel? Sequel? Lol
This was my introduction to ff7 and literally the only thing that saved this movie for me was the characters Kadaj, Vincent, and just the sheer edgy appeal. But to be fair, that slight interest was enough to compel me to learn more and eventually play the game+ the remake.
I had a complete opposite introduction. Dirge of Cerberus was my frist then Advent Children. Only years later I would play the original FF7, and I wouldn't even get what the ending meant until more years later because my mind was stained with the expanded universe, qhich should've never been expanded in the first place, as it destroys the thoughtful ambiguity of the ending.
On the topic of the Advent Children's dub, did they redub the Complete cut, or just add in the new dubbed scenes on top of the original ones?
I've never watched the original cut in English (used to be strictly subs only back in my teens, with anime and everything beyond) and the one time I remember coming across the Complete version, it was in English, and I don't remember it being that awful, though it was also long enough ago, that only thing I can recall with any sort of vividity about it would be Quinton Flynn being Quinton Flynnly comical slacker as Reno.
Bring me to life at the end with og text animation from begore times got me at the end ngl 😋
I forgot about Vincent’s shoes until I didn’t
I'm dead that you mentioned FF: U. That was my favorite as a kid. I feel like the plot has potential, but unfortunately it ended up getting bankrupt. And it's hard to find FF: U After Spiral too. If you ever make a video on FF: U I'm down for it
yoooooo what's that bottom one below rwby at 5:23 that looks like dmc5
Final boss of Final Fantasy 7 Remake
i think i hold the record for lowest lvl genji shield in crisis core reunion? its on my channel lvl 11
It's better than most movies you'll find today. Like if you think Advent Children is that bad then I challenge you to watch it, then Wonder Woman 1984, then Interstellar back to back to back
An AMV with DGD. Take my sub you glorious bastard.
Hey have you deleted your Twitter account? ITried to go to it through the link in the description but it said the page didn’t exist.
Weird issue with the link, should be fixed now, give it another shot
@@CodexEntry It’s working now thank you!
It's funny that you mention My Chemical Romance, the Complete version (In Japan) has a song featuring both Kyosuke Himuro and MCR's Gerard Way, and it's actually a pretty sick track. Sadly, I'm guessing licensing kept it off the international releases, which is ironic as I feel like it was made for western audiences...
Man that amv brought back some shit locked in the deep recesses of my memory…
I’m at work so I can’t watch this atm but I will say that my kid self loved AC so much that at one point I could I could watch the movie in my head.
Are the artifacts around 16:52 voluntary ?
i watched this for the first time yesterday. i’m so glad we had almost the same list of issues, especially vincent’s motherfucking clown shoes
I remember buying this movie at Costco. I didn't know a thing about FF at all. It was like being the foreigner at the DMV and not speaking English. Nothing made sense. I do have interesting nostalgia for it, which is probably why I clicked this video to watch it. Weird. BTW, what do you mean by second puberty? Just curious.
Creator is trans, trans people go through two puberties due to hormone therapy
@@bakedfish947 Ok, thanks for that.
Hello codex, I wish to know when the persona 5 analysis is going to be finished. Please don't pull a togashi on us.
P.S
I been on your twitter and i'm sorry for what happened to your friend. May he or she rest in peace.
By watching that AMV I can say with 100% certainty that this movie was done by the same animation team that did the Kingdom Hearts intros
Damn, that AMV was great!
It’s just…there’s not enough talking in this movie! There’s so much that could’ve been addressed and deep conversations between characters that could’ve happened. But it’s a lot of silent action. I wanted more character study and fan service! I mean this could’ve been so deep and interesting with Cloud facing guilt and ptsd as well as his relationship with Tif getting some focus. I can understand why he isn’t living a happy life after FFVII. Saving the world doesn’t take away the fact that two ppl that he really cared about died. This could’ve been a big a hero rises story, but it isn’t, it’s a quiet action spin-off movie.
Put the Codex Entry Advent Children AMV in the Louvre.
i was so ready to judge you for the choice of music for the AMV. then I saw DGD in the lower third and just shut up and watched. good taste.
I first saw this fansubbed because my DVD kept getting delayed. Zuruzuru or whatever it was got translated as "drifting, drifting" instead of the dub goofiness, because syllables didn't matter. I can't speak to the accuracy, but it made that whole scene suck a lot less. Tifa was just noticing that Cloud was kinda spaced out lately.
Yay another Codex Vid😊😊😊😊😄😄😄
I am so glad I found this channel, jesus
Are you kidding? This movie was a masterpiece and I loved every second of it! It wasn't fanservice, it was genuine, awesome writing!
Omg at 3:22, that can't be fake right? It feels so real
6:52 is this Dance Gavin Dance?
The name of the band is literally on screen at the exact moment you time stamped.
make the second pathologic video
Those 3 "brothers" were remnants of Sephiroth. Kadaj represents Sephiroth's leadership and Loz represents his strength, and Yazoo is his emotional side, so he's the one who usually cries more, or cries first, Loz is the one who nearly broke Tifa, and Dilly Dally Silly Shally is apparently a saying that in Japanese means being weighed down by your thoughts and feelings, so that's why when Cloud finally showed up to the party in the middle of town, he said to Tifa that he felt lighter, which finally made sense when I found that out. Gotta admit, Vincent's shoes 😂, not the epitome of cool, but love the action, and can't beat some of those fight scenes.
I've relistened to the pathologic summaries so many times that it's bizarre hearing ruby talk about anything else
FF VII AC might have saved my life. Not the actual movie but the waiting for it. It has a lot of things that are awful, but I never disliked it and I understood a lot of decision taken. I would lie if I say that the movie fulfilled my expectations. It would have been great if the writing was a masterpiece. Nice seeing you use AC complete, although that is the "real" version by now. A bloody Cloud was one of my wishes I did not know I had. The vision of having AC combat in FF VII remake was perhaps the only great thing about remake >_
I loved that amv oh my god it sent me back to 2012 !!
That's not how you spell Pathologic part 2.
The show must go on!!
It's in the works and gonna be even better than the first B)
@@CodexEntry Can't wait.
I'm much older than you so when I first saw it I was well into my adulthood and..... yep, it got a 'wtf, this isn't improving things' while also realizing 'at least it's better than Spirits Within'.
Honestly great amv 13/10 - my 13 and now 20 years old self
homegirl that amv HURT
Wat DGD? Every time I watch a video of yours I realize you’re me
