Western critics have embraced all sorts of movies coming from Japan. Saying this is for FF fans only is basically admitting the movie is fan service, a cash grab, and nothing more. Bringing up user score is kinda pointless, we are talking about some hardcore fans who decided the game was gonna be good based on that one infamous trailer and some Nomura interviews that popped every once in a while and showed that his "passion" for his "child" was palpable.

I wouldn't refer to it as a cash grab. More that SE are not good filmakers but it fulfils a niche that Final Fantasy fans may enjoy. Like I'm a big FF fan but I'm also a huge film fan. I appreciate Something like FFVII Advent Children but I also recognise that its a pile of steaming shit. I imagine this is how Dynasty Warriors' fans feel.

They only made that movie because they couldn't fit it in the game. A 100 GB+ game would be very proihibitive by today's standards.
