An attempt that succeeded at that.
Final Fantasy seven spawned many animations,cartoons and by products (by products? maybe I meant buy products...) and later a movie solely about that one story line.
A lot of people felt that FF: The Spirits Within was only a test run to see if it was a good idea to put up the money required to make Advent Children. I'm glad they did. It was an incredible job- they even included some of the original team who made the game- and stuck very very closely to the story line. (The materia was a bit weird in Advent Children though).
I was pretty upset that they switched the designer team over. Final Fantasy 8 was horrible. Every thing after it was pretty horrible too.
Ten wasn't too bad, but still too similar to eight and to dissimilar to all those that preceded eight.

It was like Star Wars being made by Micheal Bay or something.

ETA:I didn't know that about the name though. I had assumed an entirely different meaning...
