you haven't watched it. have you? FFIX is set in a medieval time for starters. TSW is set in the future. On this very planet (unless New York happens to be on any other planet anyone knows of). The only similarity between the two, is the use of the word "Gaia", though in a completely different context (in FFIX there are two worlds, Terra and Gaia, one was dying, and is now frozen in time, with only souless "vessels" oocupying it, which has very little to do with the "return to the planet" idea of the movie, and the one game in the series that certainly has the Gaia theory in it : FFVII)

There are no characters and very few elements that made the cross-over. The only exeption would be Sid, (who is usually "Cid") as the name (the name alone however) appears in most games in the FF series, after FFII. The don't even have moogles or chocobos

As for what I thought about it, I'd err to the side of liking it, but I'm a little indeciesive. Everything seems pretty average with the movie. Charaters, Storyline, Acting, Dialouge except for the Graphis which are simply incredible, and the Soundtrack which is, to be fair, pretty damn crap (but then it wasn't Uematsu anyway)
