yeah. I think there must have been about 5 completed FMVs in the entire game (in comparison to about 20 in ffx).
I also recall one FMV sequence being almost repeated 3 times
first there's the FMV you view from the first sphere in the game which depicts the guy who looks like tidus, then this is repeated in 1000 words song but without speech, afterwards it is also shown again 'with' speech after completing the 'Den of Woe'.

What a cheap cop out!!!!
