Alternate universes are so awesome! I love playing with multiverse theory in fiction!
Admittedly, I did hear a lot of people talk about how Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within shouldn't have been called part of the FF series, but very rarely did any of them actually say why. I figure they were expecting moogles and chocobos and other long-running series favourites, and what they got was a decent CG sci-fi movie with a plot of its own (much like each of the games), that actually kinda tangentially ties back to a couple of other games (much like each of the games!).
