..First, "gay" is one of the most idiotic insults ever, Pimp_Daddy. Use another.

Personally I thought it was a good movie. The storyline being compared to the FF games is unfair, because the movie is only a couple of hours, FF games average 30+ at least.. For being a movie, the Story was well-written and concise.. Story
elements and
themes were clearly following Final Fantasy tradition.
Just because the movie didn't have freakin' chocobos and swords people go "Oh, that sucked! It wasn't Final Fantasy!". It wasn't supposed to be.
Though it wasn't quite up to my initial expectations, I really liked the movie. And resent everyone going "it sucked!" just because of a bunch of hollow reasons or for reasons not stated. It's called constructive criticism, folks. Nobody from square probably reads these boards but it's better than just saying "This movie was gay" and making yourself to look like a twit.
Aaaaaanyway.. High points for the movie in my opinion come mainly from the Graphics (of course), the Voice Acting, and the fact that the voice cast itself was a veritable dream team of actors. That and the ending; while depressing, it shot a ray of hope at the viewer.. that ending song played while the mountains are in view is so soothing.. I was completely tripped out the first time I heard it. What was a low point for me was that it was never cleared up (for me, at least) wether the people consumed by phantoms had thier bio etheric energy just destroyed, or wether it was just mangled all to hell then sent to Gaia like normal.. it's double depressing 'cause Everybody ******* died, and you don't know wether it's a "final death" or just the transition it's made out to be.
In short.. IMO, it was a good movie.
