Last Order: Final Fantasy VII (ラストオーダー -ファイナルファンタジーVII- Rasuto Ōdā -Fainaru Fantajī Sebun-), also abbreviated as Last Order, is a 2005 original video animation produced by Madhouse and originally released in Japan by Square Enix. It was released in Japan with Advent Pieces: Limited, a special edition release of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, and is an addition to the United States limited edition release of Advent Children. The OVA was never given an English dub, but is subtitled in the English release. Last Order is part of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, a series of prequels and sequels to the original game, Final Fantasy VII. The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII also includes the games Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode: Final Fantasy VII, and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, as well as the film Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. The OVA’s soundtrack was released with the music of Before Crisis, and select songs were remixed for Crisis Core. Last Order was created due to the success of promotional commercials for Before Crisis. Production lasted 6 months, and the crew faced several challenges during the time.
Last Order details two events that happened before Final Fantasy VII. One event revolves around the Nibelheim scenario that focused on Zack Fair, Cloud Strife, Sephiroth and Tifa Lockhart. The other involves Zack and Cloud on the run from Shinra. The anime cuts back and forth between these two flashbacks, linked by the Turk leader Tseng’s reflection on the Nibelheim events. Originally meant to focus on Zack, Last Order also highlighted Tseng’s feelings and position in the Shinra company, as well as his moral values.
77,777 copies of Advent Pieces: Limited were released in Japan, and had been sold out months in advance before being officially released. Last Order received a negative fan response due to changes in content and presentation from the original Final Fantasy VII. Because of this, with Crisis Core, a prequel to Final Fantasy VII, the crew avoided recreating the scenes of Last Order. OverClocked ReMix created a tribute album for the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, which included a disc themed after Last Order and entitled Order.
Synopsis
After the destruction of Nibelheim at the hands of Sephiroth, Zack and Cloud are on the run from Shinra Inc. As they make their way back to Midgar, they recall the horrible events that happened at Nibelheim, as well as fight for survival against Shinra.
