Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Advent Children Complete. Where to start? Rude with a BFG 9000, Yazoo driving his motorcycle through an open MILITARY HELICOPTER, Rufus' Xanatos Gambit (which lead this Tropers friends to use the phrase "Rufusing the_____". You'll get it if you've seen it). Oh, and one quote: "Found you."
  • What, no Cloud's "There's not a thing I don't cherish!"? No Tifa vs. Loz? Heck, no Denzel and the hydrant, or Marlene talking sense into a man four times her age?
  • Any fight scene. Take your pick.
    • Also doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, but the scene where the entire party gathers together to fight Bahamut SIN, reunited again, and all help Cloud to reach the ascended enemy by taking turns helping him fly... including the lost 9th member of the team.
    • Vincent coming to Cloud and Marlene's rescue, the tattered red cloak swirling about like a certain bat-like character...
    • Vincent has the best line when doing his part: "Fly."
    • Arguably the fight that takes the proverbial cake is the one with Bahamut Sin when he started laying the smack down (yes, I did just say that; it's Bahamut), then the remixed boss battle music started, et cetera.
    • Can you say... Omnislash? Cloud lands, several of his swords land around him (point first, obviously), and he catches the last one, with a look like "I win."
    • In Complete Cloud hits Sephiroth with the original Omnislash. Whilst this is what defeated him in the game, this time Sephiroth just blocks all of Cloud's strikes and impales Cloud in response during the final blow.
    • Rude & Reno fighting off Loz & Yazoo. Especially when you factor in Yazoo & Loz essentially being mini-Sephiroths.

Reno: Forget your little "Reunion" and GET A GRIP!

  • "A good son would've known."
    • This. Only Rufus Shinra can have a CMOA simply by standing up.
    • Here's the Rufus scene everyone was talking about. A wheelchair bound Rufus finally has enough of Kadaj bragging about about destroying Edge and stands up, revealing he had Jenova all along. Keep in mind that Rufus was thought to be dead, then a cripple, after the events of Final Fantasy VII. One One-Liner later, he tosses it over the building, before falling off himself as he dodges the fireball Kadaj throws in rage. Rufus still isn't done, he fires at Kadaj as he falls, before shooting holes into Jenova until he lands in netting Elena and Tseng shoot out for him. Bad. Ass.
  • Five words. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
  • The entire final fight scene. The number of buildings that get sliced in half through sheer force of awesome is… impressive.
    • "I pity you. You just don't get it… there isn't a thing I don't care for!!"
  • Several of the characters use slight variants of their old Limit Breaks from the original game: aside from Omnislash, Cloud uses Blade Beam and what appears to be Braver, whilst Barret fires off a few Big Shots at Bahamut SIN.
