Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Trivia: In the FFVII game, Cait Sith rides on a giant white stuffed animal. The reason it didn't appear in the movie is because there was already a rendered wolf and Red XIII; the filmmakers absolutely hated rendering fur, and thus Cait Sith's ride was scrapped.

Trivia: Several times throughout the movie, some of the characters can be seen using their Limit Breaks from the game. (Cloud's are most noticeable since his sword radiates a blue aura just before).

Trivia: Many Final Fantasy purists wonder where Chocobos are in the movie. They don't appear, but there is a Chocobo silhouette on a sign that reads "Chocobo House" at 0:56:04 (in the upper-left corner). (00:56:00)

Trivia: Though it is never mentioned in the movie, the city sitting next to Midgar, where all of Midgar's citizens now live is called "Edge", as confirmed by the sequel video game "Dirge of Cerberus."

Trivia: Cloud's phone is actually a real model phone that was available in Japan around the time the film came out. It was a Panasonic P900iV.

Trivia: Originally, this movie was meant to be a 20-minute short. However, fan response to the idea of a "Final Fantasy VII" movie was so positive, that the producers and director decided to scrap the short-film concept and rewrite it into a feature-length film.

Trivia: A few years after the movie's initial release, an extended cut of the film entitled "Advent Children Complete" was released. It featured updated visuals and twenty minutes of new scenes that helped flesh out the story and supporting characters. "Complete" was released exclusively on Blu-Ray to help promote the format, and was never given a DVD release like the original cut.

Other mistake: Cloud finds Tifa lying on the flower-patch in the church, after the fight with Loz. When we first see her she has her leather gloves on, then the next shot her hands are bare, and again in the next shot she has her gloves again.

More quotes from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Question: I have played through the game several times and viewed this movie at least five or six times completelty, but there is something major I still don't understand. What is the fountain of "water" that appears in the Church and cures the geostigma near the end? The pool that appears right after Kadaj blows a hole in the ground. Is it lifestream energy from the planet? It is the presense of Aerith? What is it? It plays such a huge role but isn't explained at all.

Answer: We're lead to believe that it's the Lifestream of the world.
