By the way i don't know about Final Fantasy VII but i have played VIII and it is good not counting in the graphics.

I don't think that being anything, be it a movie, book, drawing, or game, should equate to an automatic status of "art". I think some movies are art. Same with books and drawings. Games too. I have some very, very deep emotional attachments to a select few titles. Final Fantasy 7 & 8 still overwhelm me with such intensity that I have yet to experience from a movie. I can't even begin to describe the feelings I had when I played through the Shalebridge Cradle level of Thief 3. Experience like that make some games worthy of being called art. By the way, that final sentence in your piece. Wow. Do they teach you English majors about periods? Or do you need to get your masters for that?
