FF7: Advent Children - R2UK/R4 NTSC-PAL conversion

Post by EvaUnit02 »

The R2UK (and looks that the R4 is as well, since the runtime is identical to the R1). Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children suffers from an NTSC-PAL conversion. Lazy fucking Sony Europe, you'd that they could've sourced the transfer from an HD master that they high likely have access to.

The strange decision on Sony’s part is that of using an NTSC to PAL standards conversion, bringing into the mix the expected ghosting and some minor artefacting introduced to the in-between frames, plus a greater level of softness to the image than was intended (like many recent Anime productions Advent Children has a somewhat hazy coating to the image at times but this is intentional).
Not that I care anyway, since I thought this film was pants.
