History Awesome / FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren

** Cloud actually gets two Bravers (one gets deflected off Kadaj, one knocks Bahamut to the ground) and two Blade Beams (the one in Forgotten City, then the three-beam version when he tries to hit Sephiroth and doesn't know where he's coming from). He also Climhazzards Bahamut's ass, and Tifa pounding Loz into the ground is basically her whole Limit Break combo straight up to Final Heaven.

* He may be evil, but you can't deny that when Sephiroth sprouts his wing in Complete, it can only be described as sadistic, villainous ''awesomeness''.

** In ''Complete'' [[spoiler: 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, then throws him into the air and hits Cloud with an Octoslash, slams him into the ground and does the "Tell me what you cherish most" speech, then time seems to freeze as Zack shows up to provide moral support to Cloud.]]

*** [[spoiler: Then from here, Cloud attacks Sephiroth and draws him into the air and unleashes Omnislash Ver. 5 and finishes Sephiroth off.]]
* Another awesome moment happens right after.[[spoiler: Sephiroth has Cloud at his mercy after their spectacular final battle, and asks Cloud what is that he cherishes most, so he can have the pleasure of taking it away from him. This cause Cloud to have a brief flashback to all his loved ones, present and lost, giving him the strength to pull the Masamune out of his shoulder and take Sephiroth down with his new Omnislash. The look on the One Winged Angel's face was truly, truly priceless.]]

* Any fight scene. Take your pick.

** Arguably the fight that takes the proverbial cake is the one with Bahamut Sin when [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080226075024/finalfantasy/images/f/f8/Bahamut_SIN_flying.jpg he]] started laying the smack down (yes, I did just say that; it's ''Bahamut''), then the remixed boss battle music started, et cetera.

--> '''Zack''': So what if it looks hopeless? If it was me, I still wouldn't give up. Embrace your dreams, and no matter what happens, protect your honor as [=SOLDIER=]. Well, ok, you never made [=SOLDIER=], but it's what's in here [Puts fist over heart] that counts.
--> '''Cloud''': Zack..
--> '''Zack''': So, need any help?
--> '''Cloud''': No. '''[Cloud starts to stand up]'''
--> '''Zack''': You already beat him once didn't you? This should be a cinch!
--> '''Cloud''': Yeah.
--> '''Zack''': Cloud, you know what I told you.
--> '''Cloud''': That's right, I am your living legacy.

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

* Mentioned but worth pointing out in detail. Tifa Vs Loz. The first one on one fight of the movie. These are two [[LightningBruiser lightning bruisers]] doing what they do best. All to a simple piano piece as opposed to a band or orchestra. Highlights include Loz whipping Tiffa around by the leg and chucking her across the church, to her making a ThreePointLanding against the ''wall'' from said toss.

*** Even Aerith seems to get in on the fun. When Cloud and Kadaj start the previously mentioned fight in the church, the healing water she makes looks a lot like Great Gospel. What makes this scene even more awesome is how the water drives Kadaj away, and even seems to hurt him! Apperantly, Revive Kills Zombie in this movie.

** In ''Complete'' [[spoiler: 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.]]

* ''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."

* "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 ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. One OneLiner 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. [[BadAss Bad. Ass.]]

** Also doubles as a [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming 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... [[spoiler:including the lost 9th member of the team.]]
** Vincent coming to Cloud and Marlene's rescue, the tattered red cloak swirling about like [[{{Batman}} a certain bat-like character]]...

* Oh come on. No mention of when Cloud is chasing after Kadaj, the Turks setting off fireworks to distract the other two. The fireworks happen to go off as Cloud rides off the guard rail a very awesome moment.

** 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 ''FinalFantasyVII''.

** Rude & Reno fighting off Loz & Yazoo. ''Especially'' when you factor in Yazoo & Loz [[spoiler:essentially being mini-Sephiroths]].

* 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.

** "I pity you. You just don't get it… there isn't a ''thing'' I don't care for!!"

* [[TwoWords Five words.]] [[BerserkButton "YOU SON]] [[LetsGetDangerous OF A BITCH!"]]

** Here's the Rufus scene everyone was talking about. A wheelchair bound Rufus finally has enough of Kadaj bragging about about destroying Midger 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 ''FinalFantasyVII''. One OneLiner later, he tosses it over the building, before falling off himself as he dodges the fireball Kadaj throws in rage.

*** This. Only Rufus Shinra can have a CMOA simply by ''standing up.''
* ''Everyone'' (even Aerith from beyond the grave) gets one in Bahamut Sin's defeat by propelling Cloud upward to deliver the final blow. Vincent has the best line when doing his part: [[RousingSpeech "Fly."]]

** 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?
