no flying in FFVII - Page 2

the fact that they were flying never even crossed my mind, I just thought they were jumping.....really high...

I don't think about things much, I just tend to acceopt what I see

I don't think there was a float materia, but that would be a perfectly logical explanation.

But, it was probably just done to show how strong Cloud and Co were, when compared to normal humans, so they were able to perform extraordinary stunts like that...At least, that's what I like to think.

There is flying in FFVII... Cloud's final limit break, Omnislash, had him taking off and never really touching the ground again until the move is over... and then in the ending, he stays airborn even longer. And don't try to bring the high jump argument in, because, truth be told, thats all it was in AC, too... since they constantly landed and took off again.

As far as I know Float materia/magic (depending on the game you play) only slightly raised you above the ground and allowed you to walk on air.

I didn't really see any evidence on Float allowing you fly or perform kilometer high jumps.

As I've said before, it's a fantasy movie, therefore things that don't normally happen are allowed to happen, such as humans flying.

Most modern movies are ridiculous in terms of reality, catching bullets in your teeth, jumping over exploding cars, fly-kicking a pool/billiards ball in mid air causing it to hit another guy in the head, killing him.

It's everywhere, it's to make the movie more exciting supposedly. Personally I've always enjoyed realism, taking realistic life movies over the likes of Jet Li movies anyday.

But I still enjoyed Advent Children, because it was a fantasy movie, based on a game where equally weird and unrealistic events took place.

Just because the graphics look more real doesn't mean we need to expect real physics all of a sudden

His right same goes for Climhazzard and Meteorain Cloud always jumped really high i guess as cloud gets stronger he channels that energy to fly or jump high. And sephiroth did flying to in the original ff7 or you guys forgot?

Exactly... thus I see it all as a weightless argument, since its based in an inacurate assumption that is easily disproven by simple observation (or two). Flying (or just jumping really high, becasue even Cloud just jumped, and then got extra boosts from people in AC, he didn't just go all Superman on us) and FF7 are familiar bedfellows, I'd say.

Sephiroth could fly in the original FFVII, which is probably because of his connection to Jenova. Cloud could jump high in the game too, and, like I previously stated I assumed that the others could suddenly jump so high because of their extraordinary strength...

Vincent could fly in the game too, couldn't he?

I think they just did to make the battles look better or it's a result of hard training because Reno and Rude didn't do that sort of stuff.

Dont have an opinion on the flying but I do know from the Reunion files that the heroes avoid using materia as it damages the planet so its kept for emergencies.
Also Loz's speed is an innate ability nothing to do with Materia or his weapon.

The characters in AC dont fly but jump very high probably through strength and skill. If they could fly then why would Cloud need the additional boost from the others to throw him up after Bahamut when could of simply flew after him.
