The fact is that this is a simple cash cow. Humannity WAS killed. Bugenhagen near enough stated that humans would be wiped out by Holy. It just makes sense. Look at Shinra and the Mako reactors. They were created by PEOPLE. Humans. It would be in the planets best intrests to wipe us out and give the planet to Nanaki's tribe.
No. He hinted at the possibility that humans might be 'judged'. Humans - Cloud, Barret, Yuffie, Tifa etc - helped to save the world, humans are descendents of the Cetra. Nothing in the game suggests anything more than the possibility that humanity might pay the ultimate price for the actions of a few. Anyway... when Holy emerged from the North Cave, the first people it encountered were those on the Highwind. They were practically inside Holy, yet weren't harmed. There's no logical argument why Holy would spare them but eradicate Marlene, Elmyra, the Travelling Man from Kalm and everyone else in the world.

Hating a movie because it differs from your assumptions is a little silly.
Square is losing it. FFX-2? Crap. FFVII-2? Crapper.
Shouldn't you perhaps wait till you see it before deciding for sure?
