20 Greatest Video Game Movie Moments EVER

8. Cloud Vs. Sephiroth - Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Even if Hollywood ever decides to make a live-action adaptation of Final Fantasy VII, it'll surely never get close to the visual majesty of 2005's mesmerising sequel Advent Children.

As a piece of storytelling it may be basically nonsense, but it's tough to argue with its eye-wateringly impressive animation, which holds up supremely well almost 20 years later.

And the standout sequence is surely the climactic battle between Cloud and Sephiroth. Bringing the bombast and theatricality of a Final Fantasy end-boss to life sure isn't easy, but this anime-as-hell slug-fest pulls it off.

It may basically look like a video game cutscene, but why is that a problem exactly?
