20 Uh... I don't agree with your wording, but I'll give you a definite word.

If it were a few people in the FFVII fandom who hadn't played the game, I'd brush it off, but since AC, it's become almost the majority on some communities and sites.

This is a 50 hour game or so. Wikipedia does NOT have all the information on the characters or the events. If I had a dollar for all the fanfics or fans who think events in the game happened in the wrong order or don't even know they happened (you find President ShinRa dead right before you leave Midgar, is this too hard of a concept, seriously?)... I might be able to afford the price people are now charging for the game.

But you know, emulation is free for those people who don't have PS1s or even the Greatest Hits copy.

Writing original game fic based on Advent Children or the rest of the Complication is a bad idea. No matter what, you can't pick up the characterisations or the plot of a game that convoluted, that bizarre, and that long from it's sequels or from walkthroughs. You can't. Many fans weren't even sure what characters were telling the true versions of many events until they played the game the second time!
