Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Years in the making, fans of Square-Enix's Final Fantasy VII get the sequel they've been yearning for. Instead of giving an all text based outline of Advent Children, we've done one better. There are nearly 200 screenshots from the movie, plus an outline of the plot. Be warned from this point on there are MANY SPOILERS. If you don't want anything to be spoiled, don't read this article! You can always pick up the Japanese release or wait for the US release.

Kadaj has already gathered all of the children who have absorbed Jenova's cells from the lifestream. He promises them a world where him and his siblings (all of those with Jenova) can get back at the planet. After taking a drink of some dark water he asks the children to follow. Denzel takes a swig of the water along with the rest of the children. While Cloud is rapidly heading towards Ajit, he dreams of Aerith. Cloud asks for her forgiveness and in a climatic moment Cloud awakens to find the children shielding Kadaj. Thinking fast, Cloud wipes out to prevent harm to any of the children. Kadaj and his gang don't give Cloud a break. They immediately attack him from a far with guns. Cloud manages to block shots by spinning his sword, but after a good fight Cloud finds himself out matched. With perfect timing, Vincent comes to the rescue. He shields Cloud from the gun fire and brings him to a safe location. While resting, Vincent tells Cloud of Kadaj's plan to collect all of Jenova. He also mentions that they can even bring Sephiroth back with the power of Jenova. We also see that Vincent isn't alone he has Marlene, who's been waiting to see Cloud. She's been waiting for Cloud to be part of her family. Cloud requests that Vincent take Marlene back, but after he sees how much Marlene cares about him he takes her back himself. Kadaj has already gathered all of the children back to the memorial statue made by Shinra. Havoc reigns as shadow beasts appear and Bahamut is summoned from the skies. A lone Tifa desperately tries to shake Denzel from his trance as Bahamut draws closer. A blast of energy from Bahamut blows the statue away, but Tifa manages to grab Denzel in the nick of time. Now is where all the other stars from Final Fantasy VII come in to save the day. Barrett jumps in blasting away with his gun arm. Red XIII bites Bahamut with no will to let go while he carries Cait Sith on his back. As Tifa is about to be mauled by four of the shadow creatures, Cid jumps in to save them. Cid points to his airship and jumps to the sky shoving his spear in Bahamut. Yuffie and Vincent follow with aerial attacks of their own. Both of them jump onto Bahamut for successive attacks while everyone waits for Cloud. Cloud rushes in with dual swords for a head on attack. Bahamut isn't to be taken lightly and bites right into Cloud's sword.
