The legendary composer credited Sakaguchi’s natural leadership:

“We didn’t even have a proper corporate organisation, yet everybody listened to him. It’s a kind of quality you just have to be born with.”

It was a bonehead move to do an experimental movie with a super hot ip at the time. Advent Children should have came out in 1998 then years later Spirits Within.

Live reaction of general US and European moviegoing audiences in 1998 trying to comprehend the nonsense that is Advent Children

Wouldn't have done much better than Spirits Within probably. Both movies are boring, unwatchable garbage

The only good thing about Advent Children was some of the fight choreography, like the cool Tifa fight and Cloud's sword motorcycle. The story and what they did to all the characters was terrible.

To be fair while the movie had a terrible story, I always felt the tie-in prequel games were not too shabby in the story department; I'm guessing they probably felt guilty springing some powerful character called Sephiroth without first telling us who he was, but man, almost twenty years later people probably forgot the movie even existed
