Context and Place in the FFVII Universe
- Canon context: Advent Children takes place roughly two years after the events of the original Final Fantasy VII (FFVII). It addresses the aftermath of Meteorfall, the lingering effects of Sephiroth’s defeat, and the emergence of a new crisis tied to remnants of Shinra, the spread of a disease called Geostigma, and the return of Sephiroth-related antagonists.
- Relationship to Compilation of FFVII: Advent Children is a key entry in the broader Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, which includes prequels, spin-offs, novels, and games (Crisis Core, Before Crisis, Dirge of Cerberus, On the Way to a Smile, etc.). Advent Children Complete refines the film as a canonical cinematic sequel that bridges FFVII’s original plot to later reinterpretations (including the Remake project).
- Influence on Remake era: While the Remake reimagines the original story, elements from Advent Children — character designs, choreography, and some narrative beats — influenced later portrayals, and Complete is often referenced by fans when discussing character continuity and visual design.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete is a 2009 Japanese animated science fantasy film directed by Tetsuya Nomura and produced by Square Enix. The film is a complete version of the 2005 original video animation (OVA) Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and includes approximately 20 minutes of additional footage.
