I appreciate what goes into making those films. But films really need to get the target audience invested in what the story(if any)is. Compared to the gaming medium, the story can be absolute wank (FFXIII) but it's the gameplay that keeps up invested in this product. Or if the visuals are below average (Deadly Premonition) the story keeps us going. If the film has amazing visuals but a crap story, it's pretty much just eye candy and good to look at. Films don't have anything to go on. So I do love CG type films too, but they still don't get a pass on FF: ACs insanely poor story(if there was one).
my biggest issue with FF: AC was how much they ruined the characters. Tifa, Yuffie, Barret had a lot to their character whereas Cloud was a perfect example of a weaboo-type emo who needed a kick in the arse. In FFVIII he was interesting. He dressed up like a female to infiltrate a "massage" room to save Tifa. In AC they took any personality from him and made him into a crap character. Square have a tendency to make uninteresting (yet emotionally overdeveloped) characters like Lightning/Cloud/Vincent Valentine.
