I bought it this moring and just started watching it. I had to out the Blue Ray and put into the DVD version to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me. WOW WOW The BD version is insane PQ is goregous.....

I picked it up from wal-mart for 20 bucks. Haven't had time to watch it yet. However, I know the PQ is gonna be amazing though

I took a sneak peek at FF, and it looks to me better than the IMAX print I saw. Contrastier, sharper, less hazy/fuzzy. Aki's dream reconstruction is in HD too. Improvement over my PAL DVD. More skin spots!

I got it today, but have been too busy assembling my new computer. It has a 3.0GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, and a GeForce 8800gtx. Now I just need a blu-ray drive. I do already have a PS3 for watching Blu-rays though.

Watched a few scenes from it after TMNT.

It looks good... Very good. Better than I remember it being at the theatre to be honest [which isn't surprising].

Now, if I see someone complain about the grain in the movie though I will cry.

Is it grainy?

I thought it look great on SD DVD but this BD PQ is stunning.....

WickyWoo · 08-08-2007, 05:07 AM

There has always been a "texture" of grain to take the cheesy edge off the CG. All "serious" CG movies have done this

FF, FF:AC, TMNT, etc etc

But I like the "cheesy edge".

It's only grain when she has a flash back.

Ya I picked it up this afternoon( had to ask the sales guy where it was he just hadn't put it on the shelf yet) looks amazing.

IamNhobdy · 08-08-2007, 05:58 AM

I would have it today if my car didn't decide to up & DIE when I tried to go get it this morning. Maybe tomorrow...apparently it's up to my car and not me heheh.

MOONPHASE · 08-08-2007, 09:53 AM

I noticed that when i was watching Final Fantasy on my Playstation 3 it was in full screen because i set my PS3 to play any dvd in full screen but i didnt realize it could that with Blu-Ray as well. This is only my 3rd Blu-Ray movie so far so if this has been a possibility before this im sorry but i really do think its a great idea because not everyone wants the widescreen picture i know i sure dont thats why i did this to my ps3 in the 1st place even though its hooked up to my widescreen HDTV.

Yep. An obvious thematic/artistic choice in the matter.

D1-2005 · 08-08-2007, 03:37 PM

I cant wait to pick this movie up, i was just watching it on sd when my son said we should get it in hd so we could watch it on the big tv, (he thinks thats the only movies that we can watch on it) the next day i saw it was coming out. wonder if thats a sign?

WickyWoo · 08-08-2007, 03:54 PM

Final Fantasy:TSW is a 1.85:1 movie, and therefore would fill the entire screen of your widescreen television

Banjo · 08-08-2007, 04:48 PM

I took a peek and wow... stunning!

Neo · 08-08-2007, 04:57 PM

I did . It looks really good

zombieking · 08-09-2007, 05:34 AM

I already have the SD. I like the movie. Is it worth a re-purchase?

Ozz · 08-09-2007, 06:07 AM

Greetings,
If you like the movie, it will be more than worth it to purchase it.
The picture is amazing. I had the SD as well and i am very pleased with the BD version.

I noticed that when i was watching Final Fantasy on my Playstation 3 it was in full screen because i set my PS3 to play any dvd in full screen but i didnt realize it could that with Blu-Ray as well.
