[edit] Introduction

Advent Children

Advent Children, or AC, is a movie based on the video game Final Fantasy VII, or FFVII. It takes place two years after the events of the game. Cloud Strife, the major character from the game, is once against forced to confront Sephiroth in order to save the planet.

AC recharged the FFVII fandom. FFVII's graphics hadn't been detailed enough to show much of the characters characteristics, so AC gave fans an opportunity to see their beloved characters in detail. While many found the plot and dialog lacking, the eye-candy satisfied much of the fen.
