Can you blame people expecting another Alien or comparing it to Alien when all the marketing, trailers etc have pretty much implied THIS IS A PREQUEL TO ALIEN.
Which scene was the most heartbreaking?
When you first go to the graveyard in the Black Mage Village, and seeing the mages there mourning their dead friends. Vivi having to come to terms with his own mortality is one of the key aspects of the game, and this bit really brings it home.
Which was...
What on earth is 'realistic' about that sort of ending? I can't believe anyone would think of such a depressing end to the game, it woudl defeat the purpose of everything before it.
Exactly this, both theories (especially the Squall is dead one) are just so nihilistic and depressing, they would completely defeat the point of the game. The happy ending is one of the reasons why I love the game so much.
Christopher Nolan has said in the past he's not a fan of the Penguin anyway, and unlike poor Sam Raimi being forced to stick Venom in Spiderman 3 despite not liking the character, is able to get his way on the matter I imagine.
I can't really pick a worst 5 as I love this soundtrack too much! But here's my top 10, all of which is from the OST unless stated:
1. Ending Theme
OK so this is a bit of a cheat as it's a number of pieces all together, but this is one major reason why I love the ending to FFVIII, it's over 13...
I went to see Feist last weekend, and she was terrific, she really knew how to make the songs work even better in a live setting, and she was really lovely in her interactions with the crowd. A Commotion and My Moon My Man were especially good. Plus there was possibly the most polite stage...
'It's called "Final FANTASY" not "Final Science Fiction Story.'
Yes, god forbid they should try some different settings for a game and look beyond traditional fantasy tropes (besides, SF elements have been in FF games since FFVII anyway).
Senna's omission was bewildering, I imagine it's because F1 isn't very popular in the USA. And Shakespeare in Love was an Oscar-winning comedy in the late 90s, it was the first since Annie Hall.
