I didn't think the characters lacked personality, but I do see your point.

I think that we have a consensus about the biggest failing of Final Fantasy being the establishment of it's characters as people who we should care about. It's rather ironic that the animators succeeded in making the characters appear amazingly "real" while the personality aspect of their development received short shrift.

Taken as a whole, Final Fantasy is well plotted, nicely paced and visually stunning, which goes a long way toward mitigating it's deficiencies. The bottom line is that I'm willing to grant the film's creators a bit of latitude in the personality establishment department while agreeing with you that the characters should've been more involving. Their oversight, at least in part, may explain Final Fantasy's less than stellar performance at the box-office.

The "Toy Story" analogy is a good one.

Cheers,
