6. Last Order: Final Fantasy VII (2005)

Last Order is the hardest piece of media to obtain in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, the sub-series started by the 1997 RPG. Released alongside specific special editions of Advent Children, Last Order: Final Fantasy VII is no longer available to purchase, and can only be obtained through resellers.

That is truly a shame, as Last Order is a traditionally animated (as opposed to the CGI of Advent Children) tale recounting of both the Nibelheim Incident and Zack and Cloud's escape from Shinra, all from the point of view of Tseng, the leader of the Turks (if you haven't played Final Fantasy VII that really must've sounded like a load of nonsense).

What this gives fans is yet another insight into one of the most beloved stories of all time, and it's the most visually striking part of the Compilation of FFVII, with other parts of the Compilation veering towards a more stylistic homogeneity. So if you want another Final Fantasy VII fix, it might be worth you tracking this one down.
