The ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy is set to connect with the 2005 film, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Tetsuya Nomura, director of both Advent Children and the Remake series, assured players that they need not worry about the connection. "If you play right through to the end, it will link up to Advent Children, so you don’t need to worry about that," he explained.
Advent Children, a visually striking yet narratively complex film, unfolds two years after the events of Final Fantasy VII. It explores a storyline involving the abduction of children and the spread of a mysterious ailment. This insight from Nomura suggests a unified narrative that spans across the Remake trilogy and the film.
