Do I have to completely complete FFVII in order to understand this movie?

Not neccessarily, but playing the game enough to at least know the characters is pretty helpful. It's a good movie regardless and doesn't have a whole lot of depth... but playing the entire game first certainly wouldn't hurt.

Playing the game could give you a better understanding on what goes on in the movie but, you don't really need to play the game first.

Hmm, you could still understand the movie even without playing it, but not fully. If you want, you can watch the movie now, and then play the game. That way, you won't have to wait until many months later to watch the movie after you've beaten the game. (Yes, it could take months to finish the game if you're really into it, especially mastering all the materia.)

i don't think that you need to, because, i played it, and i didn't get it that well, but the second time i watched i actually understood it... okay that was a lie, but my friend didn't play the game, and watched the movie and thought it was good

I don't think so because AC has a completely different story to FFVII it just has refferences to FFVII, also AC has some new characters that weren't in FFVII, that being said I had to watch AC a fair few times to fully understand the refferences being made to FFVII and how they fit in to the story of AC because I've never played FFVII myself.

I just think you will need to know who the charactrs are in order to understand this film, but it helps if the game is played all the way through, because then you will know why things are happening and why they are bad/good.

Agreed. I know people who have watched the moive and never touched the game and they understood what was going on. Its fuelled their curiousity to go and try the game.

What irrates me are people who have watched the movie, never played the game, yet they claim to know FFVII inside and out! Trust me, they do exsist, Ive incountered them on other fourms!

Yea, no they definitely exist. Aeris Gainsborough just made a post about that in some other topic. (Can't remember where I read it)... but yea, people get the wrong impression of the game and claim to know it indepth... and they have no damn idea. It's a real pain in the ass... especially when those people cling to their opinions so tightly.
