XD We're really arguing apples and oranges here. I'm using the Original version of AC deliberately. Because in it's original state, it illustrates the argument pretty well and it's an example more people would be familiar with than...Meiling in CCS or the whole New York arc of Marmalade Boy. And again, I didn't want to track down an literal OC from a fanfic because that would mean...reading Mary Sue fanfic, and being mean to the author. For the purposes of an example, Original Flavor AC works. For the Extended, he's doing exactly what an OC ought to do, which makes him an example of it done better.

I still feel like he's shoehorned in, and the story based more on 'how we can use this character Denzel in an FF story' than 'I have a cool FF story, and I need a new character to make it work.' Honestly, Cloud and Sephiroth don't really do much for me. So personally getting a whole movie where the characters I really liked like Yuffie and Cait Sith barely appear and serve no plot purpose whatsoever, and instead I get a new kid who really doesn't have any character development (in the original) is frankly pretty disappointing. It certainly didn't make me think 'yes, I have to go see that new and improved version with more new kid.' Even though it really was improved.
