Good god this "live-movie dream cast" I..I can't stop laughing! HELP MEEE!

Edit: By the way, this isn't about the game. This is an oh-so-original live-movie FF7 dream cast idea from some person. But, I guess it could go in Free or VG forum, come to think of it. I figured it was grey, but move it if you like.

How'd you dig this old thing up?

Pretty sure it's a joke anyway, and the writer has a poor sense for Cloud's character. "..." and "whatever" are Squall's specialties. "Let's mosey" and dressing in drag are Cloud's.

I'm pretty sure "..." doesn't belong to one character so much as JRPGs as a whole.

I was looking for a Final Fantasy IV reference to a different thread, and chanced on this. The "dream casting picks" for Cloud and Sephiroth were the funniest ones to me. This being 1up and a hypothetical dream cast of a video game movie, I'm pretty sure it's not to be taken seriously anyway. I just cracked at Edward being picked for Cloud. That's terrible.

Edit: I'll tack on the "reception" from the angry people to boot. Those were pretty amusing for me, too.

But "Whatever..." was more Squall's thing than Cloud's. I'm not sure about "..."

"Whatever" was Squall's thing, yes. But the only thing more popular than "..." in most JRPGs is to say a character's name and then trail off, like "Dallas..."

Err...I'm sorry, guys. (for encouraging this)

I get some of the others but, I don't get Efron or Hilton. They seem kind of random. Edit: So does Beiber. Kenny was funny though.

I'm still laughing that fans are getting upset at casting a pretty boy as a pretty boy~

Re: This is terrible, but funny (FF7 Fanboy related)

Oh, and western game stories use the ellipsis ("...") in the same fashion to create a dramatic pause in conversation (or like when a character is making a speech). JRPGs also use it for dramatic silence, as well. Mora, you're the "grammatical wunderkind" of the community, why don't you put in your two cents?

I think you're forgetting every source of "I took an English Comp course in college so I'm qualified to write the dialogue."

Re: This is terrible, but funny (FF7 Fanboy related)

I didn't, I just refused to acknowledge it. ( ****ing Kenny)

I intended to use random people for comedic effect. Also, you probably noticed no Red XIII. In FF7, Red is the most forgettable character. So, I forgot him.

A joke in itself.
