Final Fantasy VII: The Last Order Last Order: Final Fantasy VII is an addition to the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children film and part of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. It is an Original Video Animation that was released with the "Ultimate Edition" of the movie (so called "Advent Pieces: Limited"). It is an anime rendition of two flashbacks that took place in the game. One explains what happened five years before the game took place.

The anime cuts back and forth between these two, linked by Tseng as he reflects on both events.
