About
Final Fantasy VII Last Order is a short film which was a bonus dvd in the
Japanese Version; "Ultimate Edition" of the movie (Advent Pieces:
Limited) Known as Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
It is an anime rendition of two flashbacks that took place in the game. One
details events from five years before the game took place, revolving around the
Nibelheim scenario that focused on Zack, Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart and
Sephiroth. The other involves Zack and Cloud on the run from Shin-Ra. The anime
cuts back and forth between these two flashbacks, linked by the Turk commander
Tseng's reflection on the Nibelheim events. Last Order also forms the basis of
the Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- PSP game, and serves as a tie-in with the
mobile phone game Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-, as several of the game's
playable Turk characters appear as minor characters, with some even getting
spoken lines.
Story
From details that have been shown it is safe to say this is Zack's story and will cover the events between the supporting characters Sephiroth, Cloud, Angeal, Aerith, Tseng, and Genesis, as well as other characters with minor roles (such as the other Turks and the other main characters of Final Fantasy VII) up until the events of Nibelheim. Any other further details about the story are yet to be revealed. Yet a major plot point hinted at in the final chapter of Final Fantasy VII universe, Dirge of Cerberus, were the 3 G Reports, the only records left of the Genesis Project and its aftermath. Within the three brief reports it reveals a project performed by Shin-Ra on a SOLDIER only known as "G". It also discussed the whereabouts of "G" (a.k.a. Genesis), that he was sealed deep under Midgar by a SOLDIER who died in order to defeat him. That SOLDIER that managed to defeat Genesis was most likely Angeal, which explains how the Buster Sword eventually ends up in Zack's possession.
Review
As of currently, the game hasn't been released yet. From the 2 main trailers
leaked onto the net, we can say this game is going to be a hit. The graphics
look superb for The portable playstation's hardware. They are both sharp,
detailed and colourful. Gameplay seems to involve alot of running around
searching for various items etc like most RPG's, but unlike many of the previous
Final Fantasy titles, they have implicated a new battle system, with what looks
likes a slot machine in the top left hand corner. It has more of a star ocean 3
kind of feel to it,; running around and hacking enemies to bits rather then the
old fashioned: "select a option from a menu". Music so far seems to be the
same as the Final Fantasy VII OST. The opening music to Midgar from the original
hit in 1997, can be heard on one of the sequences from Crisis Core. There's not
much else that can be analysed until further footage has been released. check
back soon for more information.
