I got the same feeling from FF:TSW that I did from FF8. I think the makers were of the same mindset. It seemed more... political isn't really the word, but it was more about the powers that be I suppose. I can't really explain it. But to me, TSW seemed like a movie with the same mindset as 8. So I already got that. But yeah, 7 was more critically acclaimed and open-ended. And despite the amount it sold or the reviews it got, the fans are being heard and I think that's the biggest part. I honestly don't know if they were doing anything before they got started on X-2. If they weren't, then the outcry that came when word of X-2 spread was enough motive. People wanted FF7-2. That's what they're trying to give them. There's just not a demand for anything more from any of the others.
