Amazon.com: The question facing any viewer of the Japanese CG feature Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is: do you have to know the games on which it’s based in order to understand the film? And the answer is: it certainly helps. But even complete novices (i.e., most parents) in the Final Fantasy world will find some entertainment in its wealth of fantasy-based action, and the animation never fails to astonish. Picking up two years after an epic battle between the forces of good (represented by brooding soldier Cloud) and evil (Cloud’s former general, Sephiroth), FFVII opens in the devastated city of Midgard, whose youthful occupants suffer from a ghastly disease known as Geostigma. A trio of brothers arrives with what appears to be a cure for the plague, but their gesture conceals a more sinister purpose: to revive Sephiroth and bring about the end of the world. Cloud and his companions must once again rise to the occasion to stop the siblings and the revived Sephiroth from unleashing total destruction. Complex and self-referential to the point of occasional incomprehension, Final Fantasy VII will definitely be most appreciated by fans of the game series, but if others can look past the numbing dialogue and frenetic action (which is a bit too intense for very young children), the film offers a carefree and action-packed viewing experience. The two-disc set contains the original Japanese language version of the film as well as an English-dubbed edition (Rachel Leigh Cook and Christy Carlson Romano, among others, provide the vocal talent) and a version edited for the Venice Film Festival. A 30-minute featurette that recaps the Final Fantasy story up to VII, as well as a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, and promotions for future Final Fantasy VII games and products round out the extras. --Paul Gaita
Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children (Limited Edition Collector's Set) It comes with some freebies which is not bad...and the little novel that came with was one of the reason I like it...even though its not the complete novel
A Masterpiece I've been a Final Fantasy fan all the way back when my older brothers used to let me "play" the original NES Final Fantasy with an unplugged controller...i was 5 but even then i was in awe with each story told by a legion of warriors trying to save the world.
That was until i played my first pc game in 3d, Final Fantasy 7. I had grown with that mystique around me, with those out of this world moments that you just can see in your mind but can't explain with words. And if i ever had a glimpse of a vision of what those moments would look like, i can honestly say they never looked this good.
Advent Children is by far the best CG Motion Picture created from a game, it's the way a sequel is meant to be when put into a film and taking the whole world of Final Fantasy as the canvas to your story telling. It's a complex movie that tries to push the envelope real hard but that in the end sums up what every Final Fantasy game had and involved everyone of us when we played it, a story about honor, courage, valor, ultimately unveiling the power that makes this world survive and keeping a wish to retain all hope and saving it within a fantasy we all have seen.
Great movie
Super sweet! Loved it! The Limited Edition comes with Last Order, which is a 30 min. anime of Cloud and Zack running from Shinra, FF7 Advent Children script, FF7 Advent Children Novel (it tells about what the gang has been up to in between FF7 the game and FF7 Advent Children. Specifically Barret, Tifa, and Denzel), and some sweet scans of some of the main characters. Super awesome!
Do you have to be a Final Fantasy fan to enjoy this movie? I saw Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within a long, long time ago. I don't remember much about it but I do remember that I enjoyed it and was particularly blown away by the beauty of the CGI. There was no need to play the game and I thought that this would be pretty much the same.
The only place I was wrong was that this movie would have made a lot more sense, and had a lot more meaning, if I had actually played the games or followed the storyline. Because I hadn't there were a lot of references that I missed and I had a tough time following who the good guys and the bad guys were. But by the middle of the movie I seemed to be following things pretty well with an occasional shock here and there.
So if you haven't played the game, take it from me, this movie is still worth picking up. The action is pretty intense, the voice characters are pretty good, and the graphics could not be done any better. The storyline seems epic in proportion but if you pay attention I think anybody can get a basic understanding of the overall storyline and plot.
It makes me want to pick up the game and storyline sometime.
:D Absolutely amazing. Beautiful graphics and and even better storyline. If you are a HUGE FF7 fan like me, you'll love it! c:
