Final Fantasy: Last Order
Looks like an underlying constituent for the makings of another superb anime, don't ya think? I haven't tried the game yet, but comments hereof conclude this to be a prequel of Final Fantasy VII. I can't tell if this's just an episode made solely for that purpose or the introduction to a new series? :confused:

Oh my gawd, you haven't played that game!? Its a total classic, if it weren't for our old, beat controllers and [ I think ] dying Play Station [ I know we bought a new one years ago though -Shrug - ], I would play it all the time.
You've seen the anime? Where did you watch it? I have been meaning to watch it sometime :P ( Look, a brand new way for us to talk XD Hahah. ) |

As for the game... I'm looking for the PSP equivalent of it, haha >_<; |
Last Order? Isn't that an OVA related to the Advent Children movie?
I'll explain, but I might be wrong here so bare with me. Advent Children, sequel of FF7 (some say the best game of the series...still not sure about that myself...) was a great film. I'm going to assume you know of it. Well Last Order is an OVA set between FF:Crisis Core (PSP game I think) and FF7, and it details...not going to spoil that for you. |

On that note, the FF7 timeline (not according to when they were made) should be something like: FF: Crisis Core - Last Order - FF7 - Advent Children? Would Last Order be the only prior OVA episode though? |
That I'm aware of: yes. I'll look into it. As I said it may be wrong, but I'm doubtful of it. Not being big-headed, but I know a very big fan of the FF7 series. And I kind of pay attention to the guy.
This is the Wikipedia page. I think it backs up my point. Edited with referance. |
It's part of the Final Fantasy 7 Compilation.
The anime itself is just some back story that takes place before FF7, in face it relates directly to the "hidden" dialog scene on disc 3 of FF7 when you go back down into the Library in Nibelheim's Shinra Mansion basement. The Compilation was 6 works related to FF7 that were released. Mostly as a nostalgic PR attempt by Square to pull more money out of the series, and it worked. However to Fans this delivered a more rich, nostalgic and informative look into FF7's story. These were:
The Last Order has no real relation to Advent Children. The Last Order takes place about 5 years prior to the game, while Advent Children takes place about 2 years after the game ends. Dirge of Cerberus takes place 3 years after the game. Crisis core is the earliest game Chronologically. So: Crisis Core > The Last Order > FF7 > Advent Children > Dirge of Cerberus. Yea I didn't put the cell games. I don't regard them as real games. >>; As for The Last Order itself. It was okay. I only watched it once but I still have it. Heh, actually resting playable on my PS3 right now. |

Hmm, I have no idea if they have a PSP equivalent for it, although I've honestly never looked to see what they have for PSP :P lol |

The Last Order (mini-movie) and Crisis Core (The PSP game) cover the same story plot.
As others have said, Last Order and Crisis Core are in the actual Playstation Final Fantasy VII game as a little cutscene. So everything that is revealed about Zack and the Shinra is already covered in the original FF7 game. The Last Order Movie and Crisis Core game are about Zack and Cloud's relationship. The scenario is just gone over with more detail. The Last Order mini-movie. (About 45 minutes?) Was released along with the Advent Children DVD. You could obtain it by buying the Special Edition of the Advent Children movie, so it's been around for awhile now. The cellphone game, Before Crisis, is about the Turks, and their origins. I was never aware of a Dirge of Cerberus cell phone game. |

Cool, I ain't much into FF7 and the likes, but I'm having second thoughts since in a sense, it's been elevating from popular demand. It's a coincidence FF: Crisis Core is a PSP playable, that would probably be the most convenient way to start off. :cool:

Yes, I did play Dirge of Cerberus. Again that game explains the events of a secret cut-scene in the original FF7 game, but just in more detail, kind of like BC& LO.
DOC you revisit quite a few old places, which is pretty neat. I liked the in-play art style, and thought the look of it was pretty unique. Though I thought it was a little bit too rushed, and they made up a lot of new characters/groups to explain other things. I might have to play it again since it confused me a little. So does the cell phone game take place after the PS2 game? |

Hmm, well it's pretty fun, and its a RPG along with a cool storyline. Perhaps if you can find it somewhere ( FF7 ) you could try it out. Yeah, I don't remember how huge it was when it came out in the beginning, although I remember my dad telling me, that a lot of people LOVED the music on the game so much, that they kept asking if they could do a Orchestra so they could hear the music live. After a while, and after a lot of demands of performing an Orchestra, they finally agreed to perform music ( from VII ) around the world, and the tickets were sold out in half a day o.0 That's crazy... |
I haven't played the orignal VII either (my friend is going to let me borrow his finally...). I saw Last Order I felt it was incomplete, and they should've continued on with it. The only reason I know a lot about VII is because I've looked up things online, asked my friends, watched Advent Children, Last Order, and played Dirge of Cerberus.
