Kazushige Nojima
Multiple pieces of tie-in media have been created for the "Compilation", nearly all relating to "Advent Children". To promote "Advent Children Complete", a series of short stories were written by Kazushige Nojima under the umbrella title "On a Way to Smile". The stories were later collected into a single paperback volume and released on April 16, 2009. An animated adaptation of one story, "Case of Denzel", was included in all copies of "Advent Children Complete". Nojima also wrote "Final Fantasy VII Lateral Biography: Turks ~The Kids Are Alright~", a novel set a short time before "Advent Children". The novel was illustrated by Shou Tojima.
