You forget the end showing Red XIII was way off in the distant future, I forget exactly, but it was at least 100 years. Advent Children follows up immediately after meteor.
As for Sephiroth and Jenova... Jenova was an Ancient which was found from 2000 years ago. This is when 'something terrible happened'. Nobody really knows, and AFAIK, its never explained. Sephiroth was 'created' by mixing Jenova cells with him either being inserted into Lucrecia, Vincent's love, or she was already pregnant and experiments were done by Professor Gast to infuse Jenova cells with him. I'm still trying to figure out if you were actually chasing the real Sephiroth, or if the real Sephiroth died and you're chasing a clone. Either way, he has the power of the ancients, and he can find the promised land. But, being the psycho he is, instead of helping the planet in finding eden, he decides he wants to destroy it, and the descendants of the 'traitors' as he explains in Cloud's flashback in Kalm, of the ancients that decided to stop trying to find the promised land and settle down. I still have no idea why he went to the promised land anyway. I'm guessing he wanted to go into it and for some reason because he was an ancient, use its power.... Like I said, for what I don't know, because meteor was already coming. Probably to make himself immortal, like any good evil villain would do. Anyways. His mistake was killing Aeris. By killing her, she joins the lifestream, and her spirit summons Holy to stop the meteor. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> aha, thanks otto, you reminded me of a couple things and filled me in on a couple others... as for sephiroth -- wasn't the seph you chased the whole game just a projection of him, and the projection leads you back to his real self, which was frozen in the ice/mako/whatever it was, and that self was freed and you fight it in the endgame?

At this time every year, adventurers gather in the towns to kick back and take a break from their usual daily activities. It is a time for players from all nations to come together and swap tales of their exploits.
However, night is when Summerfest really heats up. The ensuing darkness sets the stage for a grand display of fireworks in the sky and on the ground. Countless bazaars line the streets and music fills the air. Adventurers of all shapes and sizes strike up conversations with complete strangers when not dancing hand in hand with their companions.
The Moogles, as well, have devoted themselves to making this summer a memorable one. Participate in their events to receive wonderful items that will make your Summerfest even more exciting!
Summerfest will be held from Jul. 23 to Aug. 8th, 2004.
Experience the sights and sounds of this summer extravaganza in the following locations (from 19:00 to 6:00, Vana'diel time):
West Ronfaure East Ronfaure Northern San d'Oria Port San d'Oria
North Gustaberg South Gustaberg Bastok Mines Bastok Markets

I thought first, that movie had some connection with the games, but it doesnt. And i was kinda disappointed, The movie is all about some group who is looking for some virus, nothing exciting.
Doubt there are gonna be any full pictures of Aeris in AC since she's only a memory now.
But then again, maybe. FTTB, no full shots of Aeris unless you call the lake scene a full shot. Honestly, I'm waiting for one too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The world survived, and the humanity lived on. 500 years later, the oldest living creature, Red XIII, stumbled upon the ruins of Midgar, where there used to be a human settlement.
But the biggest disappointment I have with FF VII ending is that, it didn't wrap up the story. What happen between Cid and his assistant, Barret and Marlene? What the hell happen to Vincent and does his flashback serve the purpose? Tifa and Cloud, did they marry? Cait Sith, Yuffie, and Reeve, not even a cameo.

In somehow, i think Sephiroth is still alive and 3 men is after Cloud. I think they are Sephiroth clones if i dont forgot something. Cloud gather his old friends around to stop those 3 men and the disease who hurt the children.
- In FF7:AC, Cloud use a mobile-phone called FOMA P900iV. Its kinda cool and its a ordinary mobile in Japan who got well-known. <img src='http://www.ffuniverse.nu/ff7ac/layout/mobilephone.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Sephiroth is still a joke still. All-Wall, All-Haste, All-Regen, and with Cloud doing 2X cut (nope didn't even get to 4x) with Ultima Weapon.
