Well, first off, please pardon my exitement, but, this movie rocks :) *clears throat* Thank you, now to carry on, i just have to bow down to another great FF title... It's overwhelming... the detail on everything... the story... *speechless* At first glance the ending is just a solid end to another great adventure, but, I noticed something... After Cloud defeats Sepiroth, and Kadaj's two companions manage to defeat him... He drifts away into a totally white space (remember FF VIII, after the battle with Ultimecia...), where he once again listens to a voice from the past (Matron, anyone ?)... And afterwards... in the church, note the movie's last lines:

Aeris: "You're all right now, aren't you ?"
Cloud: "Yeah"
*Light slowlly fills the room*
Cloud: "I..."
*The light gets ever more present*
Cloud: "I'm not alone..."
*The light swallows everything*

Now, if we take a look to FF VIII's ending, note the conversation between Squall and Matron:

Matron: "Will you be alright on your own?"
Squall: "Yes...."
Squall: "Because I'm not alone.... If I call out, they will answer"

Well.... please post any comments/disaproovals/anything... :) I'm just thinking there's a parallel between AC and FF VIII...

PS. What a coincidence.... that moment in FF VIII's been my sig for years
