Okay, so it maybe it is kinda cheesy, but it's a nice sentiment and I wish it would happen. The fandom would be better off without all the hatewank.

And we n00bs who care do try to make sure we get that original-game exposure. It's just damn hard sometimes, with the game being 10 years old and almost impossible to find (especially for a reasonable price) unless you're lucky enough to know someone who has a copy. I was one of the lucky ones myself, but...

I understand the physical game is difficult to find, but emulators are pretty by the dime nowadays, especially for something as high-demand as FFVII. Don't get me wrong, anyone who came in after Advent Children and bothered to play the game is fucking awesome in my book, because they resisted the temptation of an easy and shallow fix---and that temptation is exactly why I wish Comp. (and especially Advent Children, since the others are at least GAMES) didn't exist.

...Oh my god I think I just need to write a dissertation and get it out of my system.

I see exactly where you're coming from. The movie, in its barely hour-and-a-half length, is just a quick-fix -- it doesn't permit the sort of investment in the characters and plot that the hours and hours of gameplay it takes to finish FFVII do, and thus allows for the sort of passive people who would never dedicate all that time to become invested in the characters to try to claim they have a genuine knowledge of them when, really, they DON'T, because characters have either been reduced to pale shades of their true selves (such as Reno [and by extension Rude, too] being reduced to comic relief, or Aeris stuck with the whole Jesus-figure schtick and none of the personality that made her interesting) or given pretty much no screen time at all (poor Nanaki).

...Yeah, I can definitely understand why it's so incredibly frustrating that people are willing to stop there when they don't even know the HALF of it.
