Spoilers for all preceding Compilation of Final Fantasy VII entries, including Final Fantasy VII, will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is the movie sequel to the seventh entry in the throat-punchingly popular Final Fantasy series and a part of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.Two years have passed since the destruction of Meteor in Final Fantasy VII. People all over the world have become infected with a deadly Lifestream-distributed disease called Geostigma; in spite of this, humanity keeps rebuilding society in the wake of Sephiroth's attempts at global destruction. In the city of Edge, built from the ruins of Midgar, Cloud now lives a quiet life with Tifa, Marlene, and a sickly orphan named Denzel. To Cloud's dismay, he soon discovers his own Geostigma infection, which threatens to shatter his new life. To make matters worse, the influence of Sephiroth still remains: Three young men bearing a resemblance to the "One-Winged Angel" have come looking for Cloud—and the remnants of Shinra—for their own sinister purposes.Limited-edition copies of the movie came bundled with a novella detailing several characters' points of view during the two-year Time Skip. The Advent Children Complete Blu-ray re-release included an OVA version of one of the novella's stories; it also added additional footage to the film that either expanded on the plot or altered parts of it. | |

Parrying Bullets: Cloud's enhanced SOLDIER skills enable him to move and react fast enough to parry automatic gunfire from multiple directions at once. Seen when he fought Kadaj and his gang in the Forgotten City, and later while pursuing them on the highway. | |

Victory Is Boring | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_1206dd74 | comment |
Victory Is Boring: While not exactly boring, winning two years ago took away Cloud's purpose in life. He took up a simple job as a delivery boy and had a lot of free time on his hands. He spent this time brooding on his failures and drinking. Soon afterwards Denzel, his adopted son/brother, gets geostigma and Cloud leaves to find a cure, but he fails. Even worse, he catches the disease himself and is dying at the young age of 24. Indeed, his fighting ability is greatly hamstrung until he is cured. A combination of embarrassment, shame, guilt, and sadness drive Cloud even further into depression and isolation not helped by the occasional seizures and Mind Rape being handed to him by Sephiroth and the disease. | |

Goggles Do Nothing | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_12de0775 | comment |
Goggles Do Nothing: Reno's goggles seem to do nothing other than look cool and give him red rings around his eyes. This is completely averted with Cloud, though—in addition to their regular purpose (keeping dirt out of his eyes), the goggles also save him from taking a bullet to the head. | |

Mental Health Recovery Arc | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_1448bff3 | comment |
Mental Health Recovery Arc: A few in regards to people with poor mental health like Cloud. In general, finding one's resolve doesn't mean one will never relapse. Cloud never really had proper time to mourn Aerith and Zack's deaths in the original game due to the world being at risk. Once the threat is taken care of, things started to finally sink in and Cloud is in severe Survivor's Guilt by the time the film rolls around. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: This is basically everything involving the children. They all qualify as being cancer patients, but then it goes From Bad to Worse when they are kidnapped by the silver-haired men, who have some questionable attitudes towards them. And there is also their baptism by Cloud. In the game, Materia were placed into slots on weapons. In the film, Kadaj infuses a piece of Materia into his arm. (His sword, Souba, does not appear to have Materia slots, but that still raises implications.) The next time Kadaj shows up, he summons Bahamut SIN and repeatedly blasts people with magic. This would require, at minimum, two Materia pieces—one for the summon and one for the spell. After Yazoo shoots Cloud in the back, we see him and Loz each raise one arm; they soon reveal that they are pumped full of Materia of multiple different colours. At this point, you can tell they've been getting the good stuff. | |

Older Hero vs. Younger Villain | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_14fe0d94 | comment |
Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: According to Reunion Files, Nomura said he wanted Cloud to fight someone younger than him, resulting in Kadaj. It also qualifies as a Double Subversion. Cloud is 23 at the time of the movie and Kadaj physically looks like he's in his late teens, but given how the latter was created he's actually no older than two. | |

All There in the Manual | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Before Complete more adequately explained the plot, the best way of comprehending the movie (as well as learning of other interesting information) was to buy the Reunion Files book, the filmic equivalent of an FF Ultimania book. While it is technically only available in Japan, it does feature both English and Japanese text. Besides the Reunion Files, a series of novellas collectively called "On the Way to a Smile" documents the events between the game and the film. This includes detailed explanations of the construction of Edge, how Cloud and Tifa ended up living together, what the party members did in the two year interim, who Denzel is, what Geostigma is, and Aerith's role in all of this. To say the novellas explain a lot of stuff not present in the film would be an understatement. How Rufus Shinra survived also counts. Any chance for him to explain himself in the movie was lost when Cloud cut him off. | |

Cool Shades | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_1dea3034 | comment |
Cool Shades: Rude has many spare pairs of sunglasses in his jacket. Some parts of the fandom insist that Rude has a special costuming Materia just for producing Cool Shades. (Cloud's goggles are often counted, too.) Rude has good reason for taking such measures: The first set is stepped on by Reno during the brawl with Yazoo and Loz. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: The Complete recut. While the characters didn't receive apparent battle damage in the original version of the movie, Complete shows characters getting dirty as they fight, as well as damage being done to Bahamut SIN (e.g. some armor breaking off the face, revealing flesh and blood). The biggest change is toward the end of the fight between Cloud and Sephiroth, where Sephiroth stabs Cloud repeatedly in mid-air—to the point that Cloud becomes a bloody mess who is barely able to stand. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_20e6a6e7 | comment |
It Only Works Once: Cloud tries to repeat the ending of Final Fantasy VII and kill Sephiroth with Omnislash, but it becomes immediately apparent that Sephiroth was ready this time. Instead it's Sephiroth who makes a repeat performance by skewering Cloud through the stomach like he did during their skirmish in Nibelheim when Cloud goes in for the final slash. Sephiroth even takes the time to mock him for it. | |

Limit Break | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
Limit Break: Several instances through the movie. Cloud gets the most of them; he uses all from the original game save for Cross Slash and Meteorain. Easily distinguishable for the blue aura surrounding Cloud when he's about to pull one off: He uses Blade Beam with the main blade from his First Tsurugi against Loz, to cut through the shockwave coming to him on their first fight at the Forgotten Capital. He also fires a wave of energy at Sephiroth during their fight, but he lacks his blue aura. He uses Braver against Bahamut SIN and knocks it down to the ground in one hit. Shortly thereafter, he uses Climhazzard as a Finishing Move against Bahamut SIN. With his Fusion Swords all assembled, he uses Finishing Touch to send Kadaj off flying. And in the Complete version of the movie, he tries to use the original Omnislash against Sephiroth. It backfires spectacularly. Then there's Omnislash Version 5note As stated by Word of God, it was the fifth Omnislash they designed for the movie. What Could Have Been, indeed...? which is a revamped Omnislash utilizing his Fusion Swords to their fullest. The attack is redone in the Complete version; no official name is given to it, but fans have begun to call it "Omnislash Version 6". Tifa uses several of her special moves against Loz at the Sector 6 Church, specifically Beat Rush, Somersault, (a missed) Water Kick, Meteordive, and Meteor Strike. Barret unleashes Mind Blow straight to Bahamut SIN's face, likely to drain its MP so it won't be able to spam its Flare Attack on Midgar. Cid performs a High Jump, again, against Bahamut SIN. Yuffie performs a Grease Lightning against Bahamut SIN during the same battle. Aerith also gets a couple from beyond the grave. She calls upon Great Gospel to heal the Geostigma in Cloud, which then pools to act as a healing spring. She uses it again after Sephiroth's defeat to heal people all over Midgar. In the Bahamut SIN fight, she also fuels Cloud with Fury Brand, allowing him to perform two Limit Breaks within a few minutes of time. | |

Worf Had the Flu: Tifa gets her butt handed to her by Loz once he stops holding back. She later remarks to the others that in the two years since Meteorfall they all lost the level of strength they once had and that only Cloud has managed to regain it. Additionally, both times Tifa gets knocked out, it was partly because she was shielding one of her adopted kids (Marlene and Denzel). | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Complete, Cloud tries to use Omnislash to defeat Sephiroth once more, only to fail miserably. As it was the same move that was used to take down Sephiroth in their second battle when they were fighting on the Lifestream with Sephiroth weakened from being beaten as Safer-Sephiroth, Sephiroth's previous experience with the attack makes it easy for him to not only block all of Cloud's attacks, but he ends up using Cloud's attempt to deliver the finishing leaping blow to instead stab Masamune through Cloud's stomach. The Fusion Sword Cloud was using not being nearly as long as Sephiroth's Masamune, the move works spectacularly on Sephiroth's favor and completely negates Cloud's attempted attack before it can even come close. In general, finding one's resolve doesn't mean one will never relapse. Cloud never really had proper time to mourn Aerith and Zack's deaths in the original game due to the world being at risk. Once the threat is taken care of, things started to finally sink in and Cloud is in severe Survivor Guilt by the time the film rolls around. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: The silver-haired men kidnap innocent children, effectively brainwash them, and put them in harm's way (said harm being a gigantic dragon). For any good parent, the first part alone is utterly terrifying. This somehow does not prevent the trio from getting a Redemption in the Rain scene at the end of the movie. | |

The Stinger for Complete directly references this - The first shot is of the spot Zack died, with flowers growing, and Denzel asking if it was someone's grave. Cloud replies that it was where "a hero began his journey". After this, the shot fades to Aerith's church, where the sword has been moved to and been restored. | |

Stock Footage: Rufus and Kadaj's conversation before Kadaj summons Bahamut SIN reuses clips from the opening of the film as they talk in a manner similar to B-Roll, the footage sometimes matching what they're talking about, sometimes not. These sequences, as well as other clips from the film, have since been reused in subsequent Compilation entries and related media, particularly Crisis Core. | |

Blocking Stops All Damage | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_72d43279 | comment |
Blocking Stops All Damage: The first thing Sephiroth does is block Cloud's swing so dead that he and his sword suspend in midair for a while. More easily justified than most, as his strength is so much higher that blocking is almost a formality. The force of Cloud's blow was enough to crush the metal pipe Sephiroth was standing on, but of course does nothing to Sephiroth himself. | |

Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Cloud and Tifa, whose relationship is not in the best place at the beginning of the movie. She loves him and has been trying to make it work, but he's still hung up on his feelings of guilt about Aerith's death and trying to separate whatever feelings he may have had for Aerith from Zack's. Poor Tifa finally (quietly) snaps and tells Cloud she can't do this anymore. | |

Bond Villain Stupidity: Sephiroth gets at least two good chances to kill Cloud, but decides to drag things out for the sheer enjoyment of it all. It arguably makes sense with Sephiroth, as he has been waiting two years for his chance at revenge. | |

Alternative Foreign Theme Song: Inverted; the Japanese version of Advent Children Complete, as well as the movie's French dub, uses a new ending theme song called "Safe and Sound" but everywhere else uses the original theme, "Calling." The 4K Blu-Ray release of ACC retains "Safe and Sound" on the French audio track. | |

Showy Invincible Hero: Going through the SOLDIER process really makes one a badass. Tifa, Yuffie, and the rest are badass, but Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo are superhuman, and it takes the three of them working together to overwhelm Cloud. Subverted when he fights Sephiroth, who dominates him the entire time they faced off, as Sephiroth is the greatest SOLDIER, and it's only due to Sephiroth's arrogance and Cloud's persistence that Cloud survives their fight and wins. | |

I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin! | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_9b610976 | comment |
In the game, Materia were placed into slots on weapons. In the film, Kadaj infuses a piece of Materia into his arm. (His sword, Souba, does not appear to have Materia slots, but that still raises implications.) The next time Kadaj shows up, he summons Bahamut SIN and repeatedly blasts people with magic. This would require, at minimum, two Materia pieces—one for the summon and one for the spell. After Yazoo shoots Cloud in the back, we see him and Loz each raise one arm; they soon reveal that they are pumped full of Materia of multiple different colours. At this point, you can tell they've been getting the good stuff. | |

Belated Happy Ending: Aerith and Zack are finally shown reunited in the afterlife. Cloud tried to have one after the events of the game, and he made a good run of it, but his survivor's guilt eventually caught up with him. Contracting Geostigma put the final nail in the angst coffin. But the movie's events (spelled out in the Ultimania) make it clear that Cloud has finally dealt with his major issues, and he soon finds his promised land—surrounded by his friends and his family—by the final end. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: While Tifa comments during Cloud's fight with Kadaj how they all got weaker since the end of the game, due to having spent 2 years trying to move on with their lives or helping find a way to stop the Geostigma, Cloud's isolation and active engagement means he's not only retained all of his edge but has had the opportunity to grow even stronger as he gains more experience. This shows itself as while Tifa ends up being beaten by Loz, Cloud is able to fight all three Remnants of Sephiroth by himself even if he doesn't win and ends up beating Kadaj once he is cured of his Geostigma. Then he goes on to fight Sephiroth and while he is still overwhelmed obviously by the greatest SOLDIER in history, he is actually able to stand up to him, which Sephiroth even acknowledges, stating Cloud has grown much stronger than the last time they fought. Ultimately, Cloud uses a newly-developed sword move of his combined with a Heroic Second Wind to put down Sephiroth, once more becoming "the man who killed Sephiroth"...twice. Also, Denzel in the Complete version in comparison to the old version. | |

Karma Houdini: Reno. In Complete he has a conversation with Rude where he admits that he's happy helping people now, but he isn't quite sure if any one of them can really make up for what they did what with the whole almost destroying the world thing. People seem to forget that even though President Shinra ordered the Midgar plate to be dropped that Reno was the one who physically did the deed. Just Following Orders is not an excuse. Does he get any kind of karmic punishment in this movie? Of course not. He's demoted to Plucky Comic Relief. We shouldn't forget, however, that Barret and AVALANCHE are also responsible for terrorist actions that killed innocent people. If that can be swept under the rug, then there's really no reason Reno's actions can't be. And besides, with the whole Sephiroth and Meteor incident having transpired and the whole world needs rebuilding, a dropped plate seems like an insignificant event by comparison and retribution for it would be pointless. | |

Obfuscating Disability: Rufus Shinra always sits in a wheelchair and is covered in a long cloak, making him appear to be crippled and highly disfigured. That way Kadaj constantly keeps turning his back to him, which comes in handy in the end, as he can stand, walk, and use guns without much problems, at least for a short time. | |

Lost in Translation | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: Cloud's sword in the movie was originally called the First Tsurugi by fans, both all six assembled blades and the base blade. In actuality, this name refers only to the base blade - the others were never given names by the production staff, who just used "Fusion Swords" to describe them. The mixup came from a misunderstanding of a transcription of Tetsuya Nomura's DVD commentary. Even the word "Tsurugi" (Japanese for broadsword) isn't the original one used (they just went with 'ken', evidently). | |

Curb-Stomp Cushion | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_bcf135d7 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Cushion: Tifa manages to hold her own pretty well against Loz at first and even manages to knock him around and down several times, before he receives the order to bring Marlene and proceeds to defeat her with all his speed and strength poured into a single blow. Cloud's battle with all the Remnants of Sephiroth ends up this: Despite being weakened by the Geostigma, Cloud still manages to fend off both Yazoo and Loz at the same time, blocking most of their hits and even negating Loz's shockwave with his own attack, but his weakened strength and speed proves insufficient to let him land any actual hits on them and they had him on the ropes the entire time. He also fights with Kadaj, but is unable to beat him, though he does successfully block all of his attacks until Vincent ends the fight as a whole and saves him. After Cloud gets himself cured from his Geostigma, his fight with Kadaj has Kadaj on the receiving end: Kadaj still proves to be a formidable opponent, managing to hold his ground against Cloud in their sword fight and even at one point disarms him of one of his Fusion Swords, but then Cloud starts dual-wielding and he puts Kadaj on the ropes for the rest of the fight before he finally finishes him off with one of his Limit Break attacks. Cloud's last fight with Sephiroth. Cloud is able to hold his own against Sephiroth, blocking most of his attacks and shrugging off those that did affect him, and even Sephiroth admits to being impressed by the strength Cloud is using to challenge him, but it becomes apparent from the beginning Cloud is on the losing end as he is unable to land a single solid blow on Sephiroth while Sephiroth has the upper hand and repeatedly throws Cloud several distances away and at one point through a building. Cloud also manages to throw Sephiroth out of the remains of Shinra's building and dual-wielding two Fusion Swords, is actually able to match him for a while, but the effort strains him, causing him to be on his knees for a moment, panting, turning the rest of the fight decisively into Sephiroth's favor. It ultimately takes Cloud having a Heroic Second Wind to defeat Sephiroth with his Omnislash Version Five. | |

Soap Opera Disease/Incurable Cough of Death: Geostigma. A Genetic disease born of Sephiroth's hatred after dissolving into the lifestream but not dissipating. In Complete, Vincent basically describes it as Magical AIDS. In the original, it's tough to see what's actually so bad about the disease, as it seems painful, but not particularly fatal. Complete clarifies the horrific nature of the disease when, at the beginning, someone is shown dying of it by melting. | |

This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself: Why didn't Yuffie just pass around some materia, have everyone cast one of their maxed-out spells (most of the materia was green), and wipe Kadaj and his ilk off the face of the earth? Because they've Trade Your Passion for Glory- moved on and rebuilt their lives after Sephiroth's defeat, while Cloud spent all of his time brooding on his failure to save Aerith. Tifa infers, from her defeat at Loz's hands, that none of them are the demigod-slayers they used to be. None of them save Cloud, who has refused to let go of his grief, is still riding the wave of desperation that let the party match superhumans like Sephiroth blow-for-blow. She even says those Exact Words. Letting him finish the final fight himself not only keeps them out of his way, but enables him to find closure. Though Barret does say "He's got 10 minutes", presumably before he would jump in, it just never came to that. | |

People seem to forget that even though President Shinra ordered the Midgar plate to be dropped that Reno was the one who physically did the deed. Just Following Orders is not an excuse. Does he get any kind of karmic punishment in this movie? Of course not. He's demoted to Plucky Comic Relief. | |

Precision-Guided Boomerang: Yuffie's entire contribution to the film is having a flashy shuriken to throw around. In one of Complete's new scenes, Cloud throws two of his swords as boomerangs. One comes back quite soon. The other one he catches about 10 seconds later, still in mid-flight, using the sword he was already holding. | |

Heroic Second Wind | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_ddc4f035 | comment |
While Tifa comments during Cloud's fight with Kadaj how they all got weaker since the end of the game, due to having spent 2 years trying to move on with their lives or helping find a way to stop the Geostigma, Cloud's isolation and active engagement means he's not only retained all of his edge but has had the opportunity to grow even stronger as he gains more experience. This shows itself as while Tifa ends up being beaten by Loz, Cloud is able to fight all three Remnants of Sephiroth by himself even if he doesn't win and ends up beating Kadaj once he is cured of his Geostigma. Then he goes on to fight Sephiroth and while he is still overwhelmed obviously by the greatest SOLDIER in history, he is actually able to stand up to him, which Sephiroth even acknowledges, stating Cloud has grown much stronger than the last time they fought. Ultimately, Cloud uses a newly-developed sword move of his combined with a Heroic Second Wind to put down Sephiroth, once more becoming "the man who killed Sephiroth"...twice. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Sephiroth, Cloud, Kadaj—basically, anyone who uses any kind of blade has one of these. Cloud's and Sephiroth's are so sharp that they can cut through entire skyscrapers. In Complete, the friction generated by these cuts produces enough heat to set aflame chunks of concrete and rebar. | |

Art Evolution | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: An "all-at-once" example. The original game had a very anime and cartoony design, even beyond the silly Lego-people polygons. Following the trend of the main series as a whole, Square Enix decided that in FFVII's next generation, they should go as realistic as possible. The new style stuck, and the entire Compilation has been near-photorealism since. (This also extends to the remake of the game.) | |

Flanderization | |
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Cloud's angsting went from pretty minor in the original game to taking over his characterization here. At the end of the game, he mostly seemed to have resolved his issues. But Word of God says that depression is a standard side effect of Geostigma—and Sephiroth was also screwing with Cloud's head the whole time. Then again, Word of God also says that they deliberately regressed Cloud's emotional state so he would feel more "familiar" to viewers (even though the movie actually makes him far more angsty than he was in the game), which turns the Geostigma side effect into a justification. Although Cloud is the more obvious example, all of the characters from the game receive this to different degrees. Though for the other characters, a large part of it is that Cloud dominates the screen time so we barely see them do anything. Sephiroth is totally and utterly obsessed with rubbing Cloud's face in it because focusing on his hatred for Cloud was the only way to maintain his individuality in the Lifestream. | |

Cloud replies that it was where "a hero began his journey". After this, the shot fades to Aerith's church, where the sword has been moved to and been restored. | |

In Complete, Cloud arrives in time to see Denzel about to be devoured by Shadow Creepers and a collapsing building falling on a stunned Tifa. He throws parts of his bifurcated Fusion Sword and tags all three Shadow Creepers, saving Denzel. He then slices a building in half to save Tifa from being squashed. Tifa prepares to face Bahamut SIN all by herself until Barret steps in—and the rest of AVALANCHE. "Reunion", indeed. | |
