Final fantasy was not just a story, it was a concept, a philosophy. Final Fantasy 7 Advent children was Written by Kazushige Nojima, it followed 2 years after the events of the original story. It was a great feature film which captured my attention almost the whole duration and has done so several times.
The importance of this review is to break down the collaborations which composed F’F’ and look at each aspect.

Whilst Final Fantasy was an amazing story, Advent Children slightly let me down. The story was very short and in some ways vague. A lot of concepts arn’t explained in AC. Such as Materia, condensed mako energy enabling particular powers. AC doesn’t say anything about materia, what is it? where is it from? whom produces it? and what does it do? We’re just exposed to scenes such as the antagonist force it into his arm causing a monster to appear.. Further more the characters which contribute to the story arn’t explained. Aerith and Zack appear in Clouds dreams and memory, yet the story doesn’t say why or whom they are, it’s very confusing for someone who’s not equipped with FF knowledge to watch which is more than likely because Final Fantasy’s story is derived from games, a different genre completely. However I was satisfied because, i am familiar with the FF story and it revealed a lot about cloud, but it wasn’t enough, the only evidence of cloud’s past which really hit me was:
“Your an ex-SOLDIER arn’t you?”
“Yeah, in my head.”
The story should be projected towards clouds struggle of finding him self, in his own lies rather than what it was.
The story its self wasn’t very interesting, and I found my self wanting the film to project the plot towards Cloud as a character. Although the story didn’t subscribe to my attention as much i had hoped, the art compensated for that numerous times.

Final Fantasy’s art is beautiful and tranquilizing, winning several awards including the 2007 American Anime Award as “best anime feature”. Final Fantasy aesthetically pleases me to no end. The animated glows during the introduction blew me away, the in depth character design and special effects left my jaw open for a considerable amount of time. The camera angles were experimented with new, colourful, innovative shots which would be to difficult for any generic holly wood films. Final Fantasy’s art has no flaws and is a style I want to see more of in modern animated films. The was an aspect which added to the composition of FF, but it unfortunately slightly let me down.
Final Fantasy’s AC’s Soundtrack written by Nobuo Uematsu is amazing, but it wasn’t used to its full potential. It wasn’t used to it’s full potential because the story didn’t offer enough, the sounds tracks which glorify final fantasy and in some way define it, wasn’t given the opportunity to completely express FF’s notorious soundtracks because there wasn’t enough drama. Those sad, nostalgic scenes or deaths which rendered Final Fantasy a very sad epic story. This somewhat let me down but the characters were more of a sad case.
One word, cloud. That amazing hero which we all stereotypically love and envy for his cool hairstyle, ability to use multiple overly large swords and his striking attitude and values. Which was somewhat presented in AC, but i wasn’t just after the sensation of this. Cloud’s true story, of his constant battle to remember who he is, and who he isn’t. Why he doesn’t remembers things he should, and why he does know things he shouldn’t. The fake memories of being in love, being with his friends and being in SOLDIER. The story never went in depth into cloud, which disappointed me A LOT. AC however does show you how Cloud becomes himself towards the end of the movie, which was mediocre in my experience. which contributed to my enjoyment, for the better or worse.
Despite the negative parts; Final Fantasy is a very enjoyable movie. it was more than enough to fit hand in glove for my strict expectations, and I’d recommend it to anyone who loves in depth combat scenes never seen before in traditional anime, amazing effects and sound, and of course, a main character who you’ll want to cosplay over and over again.
Overall, Final Fantasy is bitter-sweet. If you’re looking for a an awesome 3d animation, it would be the only one i’d recommend, alternatively if your looking for in depth characters and clouds struggle after his contact with the jenova cells, the movie will offer some information but ultimately, it won’t. Final Fantasy, shows you the meaning of life and entities of how we’re all connected, how our planet gives us much more than we realize and deserve, and how experiences and memories are treasures, a story which has inspired me in many different ways.
