Primary
The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of personal trauma, guilt, and the universal fight against an existential threat, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology. While environmental themes from its source material are present, they serve as a backdrop to the more immediate narrative of personal redemption and collective action.
The film features a diverse cast of characters in terms of design, consistent with its Japanese animation origins, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally Western roles. Its narrative focuses on universal themes of environmentalism and overcoming trauma, and does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities.
Secondary
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot centers on its established cast dealing with new threats and personal struggles, without addressing queer identity in any capacity.
The film "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative or character arcs. Consequently, its portrayal of such themes is rated as N/A.
Female characters like Tifa Lockhart engage in close-quarters combat against male antagonists, demonstrating significant skill. However, in these instances, they either do not achieve a definitive victory over their male opponents or fight as part of a group where individual defeat of a male opponent by a female character is not clearly depicted.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is a direct sequel to the video game Final Fantasy VII. All returning characters from the original game maintain their established canonical genders in the film. No characters who were historically or widely established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender.
