Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children takes place two years after the original Final Fantasy VII, since the events of Final Fantasy VII Midgar lays in ruins and now a sickness, known as Geostigma is sweeping Edge City, a city just outside what was formerly Midgar.

Final Fantasy VII re-introduces all the old characters that we grew to love ten years ago, and just like with Final Fantasy VII, Advent Children follows the story of Cloud who now owns a delivery business. The film also introduces three new main characters, Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz – these three “Advent Children” are dead set on finding their mother, Jenova.

Along with a decent, well-structured storyline Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children has amazing, practically unrivalled CGI visuals. The CGI used in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children far surpasses anything we’ve ever seen before from Square Enix, and it improves infinitely on the CGI used in Square Enix’s previous Final Fantasy film, The Spirits Within.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children updated a lot of the original character designs; the most noticeable are Cloud and Tifa. The new character designs are brought to life by the film’s use of CGI, with intricate detail in the hair and fabrication of the characters. And it’s not only the characters that look impressive; the environments throughout the entire film look amazing.

One thing that usually ruins both games and CGI films is voice acting, throughout the history of modern RPG’s we’ve seen some with terrible voice acting. Personally I’ve never really found voice acting to be that annoying, excluding the odd title where the actors really do sound like robots. The Japanese voice acting is brilliant, and personally I believe the English voice acting lives up to that of its Japanese counterpart. In my opinion, Steve Burton, who voices Cloud Strife in the film does an excellent job of portraying Cloud, along with the rest of the cast who also do a great job.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will always have it’s shortcomings to die hard Final Fantasy VII fanatics, however on the whole Final Fantasy VII is an epic conclusion to one of the best video games ever made, and I couldn’t have asked for anymore than this.
