I was really looking forward to this game to see what my hero, good old Sakaguchi, could do starting from scratch. Sadly, I was put off by the poor presentation and lack of balance to the dungeon crawling. Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy a good dungeon crawl, but when you can see the same rock on your screen for going on 40 minutes and you’ve only been in 3 battles with the only 3 monsters you are going to encounter for the next couple hours it starts to lose it’s charm.

Spirits Within deserves a second chance.

Final Fantasy: Spirits Within bombed pretty bad at the box office and I understand why, but it deserved better. Yes, I know that it wasn’t anything like the video games or anything from Square Enix really. However, in it’s own it is a very good movie. I think that if they had not included the Final Fantasy title at all and just called it The Spirits Within it would have been much more successful. It would have been viewed as it’s own stand-alone entity in the Square Enix lineup rather than constantly being compared with all the Final Fantasy video games.
