So "writing" for Kazuhiko Inukai means he did the script?

Can you write a summary of the additional story details?

All we really wanted was the FFVII remake.

This stuff is all a pretty intresting diversion, but I'd give it all up for a PS3 FF7-2 or FF7 remake.

They've gotta be going somewhere with all this FF7 side stuff... right? I mean what's the point?

Oh, $$$, lol. Though I wish it were leading to something more.

Yeah, it just seems to me as if they don't really know where they're going with all this stuff. If this was leading up to a true game sequel or something, I'd be all for it - but as someone said, it's just interesting diversion. Granted, I don't have a problem with more FF7 products, I love the characters and the world. I just kind of wish all this was going somewhere.

So anyone know why the limited edition is called "Adbent Pieces"?

Is adbent even a word?
I figured they meant Advent, just like the subtitle but misspelled it?

First of all, this short little anime was good. Very good. I loved it, both as a FF fan, and as a normal human being (okay, that's a condradiction, but you know what I mean).

Secondly, there are no fansubs, but that's not really a problem. Basicly, this little piece of animation summarizes what happened in Nibelheim five years ago, with some few extra scenes (and one scene changed a bit, I think, the one where
Sephiroth stabs Cloud
).

Hmm, indeed. I enjoyed Advent Children itself a lot (despite the complete lack of coherent plotting, but y'know, who cares when it looks that good?), but thought Last Order was naff - I didn't even think the animation was that great, although I think I just don't like it when Madhouse do their "dark gritty OVA" thing.

Shame, really, I was actually looking forward to Last Order more than AC.
