A friend recommended this. It's wonderful. The song and game are perfect for each other, both being about our fundamental hubris. It wasn't just Shinra the planet was mad at - it was the whole of humanity.
@AllSortsOfLicorice I completely agree with you. I was a little disappointed when Advent Children came out (well, a lot disappointed, but for other reasons) because of how it confirmed that everyone survived the disaster. I felt like it kind of lost some of the punch the original had when you were left wondering if humanity even deserved to carry on.
This is REALLY well done. I enjoyed it a lot. I think people often forget that, despite all the individual 'villain' characters in the FFVII universe, the overarching evil that is responsible for every single one of them has always been the Shinra Corporation. This video does a really good job of emphasizing that fact.
Can I just say that I LOVE this video? Not only does the song itself effectively describe some of the 'sins' of the modern man's perspective, but the message resonates magnificently with the story of FFVII and is an indicator of what it was about the game that rang true for many fans. On top of all that, your editing was incredible and appropriate. It's so awesome to find a video that breaks away from the mediocre norm. :D Thanks, and keep up the great work.
Wow, this is really nicely put together! :D And as someone else said, the song was little rough on the ears ...but fits so well and wrenches at the gut once it gets going. (And yeah, that's just personal preference on song - I don't think I'd heard it before, but I think I like it now :3)
Anyway, came here from LJ linked from several places. I'm envious of your crystal clear Crisis Core footage. Hee.
who ever is singing this is GOOD holy cow!!!!

I Gotta say it's not exactly your editing that drew me to subscribe you but...
Your scene selection and the songs you use for the amvs that you create.
Because you really don't have to wow and astound us if you can pull us in with the right scenes.
But just using this song for shinra was brilliant.

Heh, you've got my MO down for sure.
I'd like to work on my editing and be able to wow the crowd someday, but showing a viewpoint is sort of what I'm more interested in...
Anyway, thank you for the comment and the subscription!

I hear ya.
I plan to put both in my style of editing.
Editing tends to be better when you feel there's an overall point in what you just watched.

At first, I was like what the hell is this? But then as it progressed I was drawn more and more in.

At first I didn't know what to expect, but after having watched it through I must say it is genious =)
Such a good selection of scenes + this music makes the video really exceptional.

I got the fmv cutscenes a while back and they're the best quality I've ever found, but for the in-game stuff I usually just use Bluelaguna.
Anyway, glad you liked!

Nice =D ... This has inspired me to crack out Advent children complete and make a new FF amv =) ... 5 stars *****

Wow, the song was a little rough on the ears, but once it gets going it fits SO WELL. Perfect visual choices and cutting.
