Twenty years ago, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children debuted, aiming to give fans a cinematic continuation of the story of Cloud and his companions. This CGI film, a technical marvel for its time, explored themes of loss and memory in the wake of a global catastrophe. It was a huge undertaking, attempting to translate the sprawling narrative of a landmark PlayStation title into a visual feast.
While its story may have been divisive, the sheer ambition of Advent Children, and its stunning animation, made it a must-see for FFVII devotees. It showcased the potential for CG storytelling in anime films and remains a fascinating artifact of early 2000s digital filmmaking in Japan.
