didnt the last movie suck
For the amount of time and they would need to commit to a game in comparison to an animated movie, it would make more sense for the Square people to make it a movie. I mean, the only people who will play the game are those who have played the first one. Same with the Advent’s Children movie. The only people who would watch the movie are those who played the game.
Hence, it would make more sense for the SquareEnix people to create a movie, which will make a decent amount of money, while creating new games (i.e. FFXII).
