no flying in FFVII
I saw a post somewhere complaining that "there was no flying on FFVII!" As true as this is, it's time to defend AC.
When the characters flew, they were all in battle. In battle, materia is used. Flying was probably the result of 'Float'. Loz's speed is a result of 'Haste' and Yazoo probably used 'Long Range' materia.
It's not proven, but that's my theory. What's yours?

I doubt it, since none of the brothers acquired materia until later on in the film, and there's no evidence to suggest that Cloud or the others all had Float equipped. It's just a difference between the film and game to make it more appealing to a cinematic audience.

I think it's just exaggerated battle scenes. Materia makes sense, but all the materia in the big convenient box led me to believe that all our heroes had gathered the materia they had and stored it away.

The float spell simply made you levitate, you were still stationary and the height it raised the user wasn't more than a couple feet.
The flying in AC is nothing more than typical DBZ flashy effects. I don't recally anyone ever using those particular materia, or even showing a need for it. It was CGI anime.

Ermm... I agree with Pooley and VR on this. I just think the flying in FFVII was just to please FFVII fans. It's just flashy animation and flashy DBZ fights.

Right. I'm sure it'd be cool thinking that they used materias in order to make the concept of battle (and their so-called "flying") a bit more believable, but in the end, it is just eye candy. We never really saw any characters "equip" materias, although Kadaj did use one later. (Hmm, I do wonder what materia he used though...)
Anyway, I guess there is a slight possibility, but I really doubt it.

I agree as well. The flying was simply for the fans to see their favorite characters do the impossible. It made the movie flashier, more impressive, and more of an eye catcher.

...I have no way of defending my opinion...but it is just a theory. I'd like it to be true, but I guess we'll never know what was in the developers minds...

Well the flying, gravity defying and physics nonsense has been well addressed here so I'll leave it out.
As far as Loz using haste I have to agree. In the forgotten city fight scene, he has the whole blue silhouette motion trail thing going on, which I assumed was due to equipping Haste materia.
I suppose there is no evidence for the use of materia in the beginning of the movie but it's not totally ridiculous.
I'm sure the remnants had some sort of magical abilities, they just happened to stumble on Cloud's huge stash of the stuff further along in the movie. That's probably where Kadaj picked up Bahamut.
As said before, there's really no way of proving anything conclusively.

Well I'm a Final Fantasy VII fan and I wasn't pleased at all  If anything, it was probably just to secure a customer base outside of the usual FF fan clientel. FF VII wasn't exactly new anymore when Advent Children came out, and they probably wouldn't have shipped half the amount of units if they had done something more storyline-based and more in line with what FF VII was actually like. |
