Philosopher Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I do not know how many here have ever played any of the Final Fantasy games, especially 7. I must say it has always been a great game and I am excited about the follow-up movie coming. Besides the actual movie (I do not know if anyone is into it) I just wanted to bring up that around 4-5 of the songs are in Latin! Also, in previous games, a few have been made in Latin also. This has always sorta confused me, how is it that a video game is producing Catholic Like Requiems, while I have never heard a single gregorian chant in a Church? (Besides the seminary and Dominican House of studies that is) Just felt like posting this, if anyone wants to comment feel free to. p.s If anyone wants to hear one of the Latin songs on the internet just go to the main Japenese site: [url="http://www.square-enix.co.jp/dvd/ff7ac/"]http://www.square-enix.co.jp/dvd/ff7ac/[/url] Click start then skip and wait on the title screen.

Dreamweaver Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Oh man, I really want to see Advent Children.... I really have a thing for CGI movies, like FF: Spirits Within (despite it having nothing to do with Final Fantasy). I've only played FF7, and for some reason couldn't "get into the mood" of FF8. "One Winged Angel" at the end of FF7 is one of those cool latin songs. Part of the reason I think latin is popular in movies and games is due to the "mystique" and allure it evokes. It really brings someone into a medieval or spiritual mood. I would also like to see more chant done in our churches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 lol yeah, the "Spirits within" was sort of a letdown. Luckily this one really looks promising.

AlterDominicus Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Yeah my other sister-in-law manages a video store in Zimmerman. Total Entertainment, she can basically order any video from the oldest to the newest. So hopefully I can get my two movies Bells of Saint Mary's and The Singing Nun.
