I agree with what's being said here. I hate it when people take part of somethnig, like AC, and think that, just because they know what happened there, they either think they know everything that happened or they bash the rest of the series because that one thing is better. I myself will admit that I haven't played FFVII, but I read what happened on Wikipedia so that I wouldn't be completely lost when I watched the movie. I had already known some things, such as Aerith/Aeris getting killed, but I had to read what it was all about. I already know what happened at the end, even if the details were a little vague. I don't think that I know everything there is to know about AC, though, from reading up on FFVII on Wikipedia and other sites, I feel that I know that characters pretty good. But I'm not a master on the plot or anything. After I play the game (maybe even the compilation) and I have no more plot questions, THEN I'll say "alright, I've mastered FFVII". But only after I've mastered the games and I completely understand their plots and characters in and out.
