Here's my reason as to why Final Fantasy VII wasn't a failure (or at least most of it). And i'll go through game per game, film by film.
For one, i think too many people expected it to be equal to the original, too many people expected them to be as good as the main games. No one was taking them for what they really were.
Advent Children: I admit, i'm disapointed on this one as much as any other fan who is. But again, at least it picked itself off somewhere. I think it hurts more that certain scenes werent as epic and reno and rude's movements were a little stiff. overall, if those who embrace it as a film that compliments ff7 it would be good. Or just some fan service. I'm not gonna lie, it was a good film at first, but it just doesn't have a lot of replay value.
Dirge of Cerberus:This was a good game. It was pretty consistent and had great extras. I keep hearing it was a horrible FPS game, but to be honest, was it even the first person shooter aspect that was the core of the gameplay. it didn't seem like it to me. it started off being third person shooter, and even then it didn't focus completely on the shooting aspects, because you still get hand to hand combat and use one of Vincent's limit break. I personally find it to be a good game, but in this case i honestly dont see how fans hate it.
Crisis Core: it was good, sure zack was annoying and certain scenes were left out that not even Zack knew. I can definitely see why fans didn't like it story-wise, but not hate it. Overall it was good, and the ending was even more emotional then what the original lead Zack's death to be. What ididn't like about it was that it was revealing the past of genesis, Angeal, and Sephiroth through the eyes of Zack more than it actually being the story of Zack Fair. But it was still entertaining and it was still great game.
The main point is, each game was made as a spin off, not as main games. They're not Final Fantasy VII-0, VII-2, VII-3. You can't expect spin offs to equal the original
oh well....feel free to state your opinion.
