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.

Even though Cloud has come to save the day he's going to need help from all his friends. As Cloud jumps up in the sky towards Bahamut, each of his allies grab him to throw him higher. When Cloud reaches the beast he cuts through a giant ball of energy and strikes Bahamut down with his sword. While Cloud was saving the city Kadaj was battling Rufus who's holding the remnants of Jenova. Rufus refuses to hand them over and jumps off a building as Kadaj blows it up. The two dive to grab Jenova and Kadaj manages to grab it. Cloud already on his motorcycle goes in for the chase. There's a lot of awesome motorcycle combat to be seen, but it's Reno and Rude that save the day. By launching bombs they blow up a bridge and halt Kadaj's buddies. Cloud goes forward to chase Kadaj, who's in Aerith's church. Cloud pulls a wheelie and breaks into the church. Kadaj shoots a blast of magic, which hits the floor and healing water emerges. Cloud's Geostigma is gone and he's ready to fight. The two match swords over Jenova and Cid flies in with the troops ready to help Cloud. Instead of having everyone jump out, they respect that this is Cloud's fight and they let him battle Kadaj one on one. It looks like Cloud is winning when all of the sudden Kadaj transforms into Sephiroth! There battle intensifies to the point where Sephiroth cuts a building a part so all of the debris falls on Cloud. To counter this Cloud pulls out his second blade and flies through the chunks of building to meet Sephiroth. The final strike ends with Cloud launching a circle of swords around Sephiroth. He then bounces back and forth between the swords to slash Sephiroth in mid-air, sort of like the omnislash. Sephiroth transforms back into Kadaj and Cloud grabs his fallen "brother". Kadaj vaporizes into the lifestream, but Kadaj's gang gets the last laugh. They let loose an explosive attack that engulfs Cloud. Now unconscious Cloud drifts in his dreams until he's awakened at the pool of water in Aerith's church. With the children surrounding him Cloud gets a burst of life and sees all of his friends standing before him. Cloud uses the water as an elixir to cure Denzel from his Geostigma and everyone cheers. Then Cloud notices the ghost of Aerith in the church along with his old buddy Zack. The two wave goodbye to Cloud and the movie ends. All the way after the credits we see two photos on a desk. One with all the Final Fantasy crew and a photo next to it with Tifa, Cloud, Marlene and Denzel. We'll leave that to your interpretations.
