I am now extremely curious to find out why they were so close etc. So i'll be buying a PSP just to find out.

Ok - yes Zack and Aerith are together in the lifestream - but in Aeriths Official novel - it clearly states:

"She saw Cloud for who he was, but it didnt matter - she loved him far greater than her first love"

So YES even though Zack and Aerith are together in the lifestream they aren't "together" Aerith loves Cloud and not zack - shes moved on from him

It's a pretty common misperception that Zack and Aerith are "together" by the end of AC. What's more likely is that Aerith brought Zack back in order to help ease Cloud's guilt--as can be seen in the fact that her memories cause Zack to reappear in Maiden, so she obviously has contact with him--rather than for her own benefit.

But AG's right--Aerith does specifically say that she loves Cloud more than Zack, and she even tells Zack that she won't call for him unless she's "really lonely". Which she obviously isn't.

As for Cait Sith, if you've watched AC in the Japanese, he's much more like how I think gamers imagined him. I didn't waste much time on the English; watched it once for kicks and then promptly went back to the Japanese due to the superior voice acing.

Cloud actually does get pretty close to the Turks in Final Fantasy VII; recall his misadventures with them in Wutai and their meeting during the last raid on the Shinra tower. He does have a relationship with all the Turks, so the relationship in AC isn't all that strange at all.

indeed Cloud is friends with Reno and Rude, probably because their boss owes him alot, so they were ORDERED to become friends or something like that... and yes there are new characters and the old are scattered everywhere and cloud doesn't or thinks he can't help anyone anymore thats about it really...

(quote) I mean, i have a Scottish friend, so i know.... Imagine going to a bar full of English and American people and saying: ''what yoo on aboot''' in a Scottish accent. It'd just seem a bit out of place. Nothing personal though, the accent is pretty cool[/quote]

what yoo on aboot hahahah awesome. Speaking like that is my language i say it wherever i go. the people outside of scotland usually they just stare at me and say 'excuse me could u please repeat that, lol i love it

Stayin on topic as for the random characters thrown in it was definately a good thing sorta added sumthin new to the game instead of just good ole sephiroth. B4 ac came out i found it hard to figure out how they were gonna fit a final fantasy 7 movie into 81mins of film. should it have been longer???? i think so.

Rufus is the son of the President Of ShinRa. Rufus and Cloud had a memorable battle in FF7 in which i thought Rufus had died. It turns out i was wrong. After some research it shows that Rufus was revived by paramedics... Hence he's still alive, but has nasty injuries from his encounter with Weapon and Sephiroth.

Cloud isn't friend with the Turks and Rufus. They just are fighting in the same side, against Sephiroth.

Soon enough, three new characters who i've not heard of before decide to come into play and take a huge role in the film. Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo. Am i right in saying they were not in FF7? I don't see how they got involved in trying to get 'Jenova' (Mother) onto the Planet. And i'm not sure why Sephiroth needs Jenova to summon Meteor. (Sephiroth needs to summon meteor to kill the planet, so he can become God on the new planet he was talking about).

After Cloud destroyed Sephiroth's soul in the Lifestream(that one vs one battle in the end of the game) his soul/spirit/will divided in three parts, Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo.
"Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo are referred to as physical manifestations of Sephiroth's spirit and will three times in the English text, with the specific
wording used in Japanese being something akin to "will bodies of Sephiroth's thoughts" on one of those occasions and "phantoms of Sephiroth" on another. Also, Kadaj is said to represent Sephiroth's cruelty, while Yazoo represents his allure and Loz represents his strength."

Sephiroth didn't want to summon Meteor in AC. After Jenova was destroyed in FFVII, her cells spreaded in the Lifestream. Then when the Lifestream destroyed Meteor, her cells infected many people. When their bodies try to fight against Jenova's cells, it create Geostigma.
People that are affected by it, after dying, return to the Lifestream. But because of the Geostigma, their souls are corrupted with Jenova/Sephiroth's will. Each person that died by the disease, begun to form a new Lifestream(a tainted one). Sephiroth wanted to use this Tainted Lifestream to kill all life in the planet, and transform it in a "space ship" to travell the universe.

I would not use that novel if I were a clerith fan because the novel also clearly states this:

In truth, Aerith really wanted to do it herself. But she couldn't carry out the task. That's why she entrusted Tifa with it. She entrusted Tifa with all the feelings she had for Cloud in her heart. She entrusted them to the one that was going to "live" together with Cloud...

This part is conviently ignored.
