I know. It looks like Sak wanted to make the jump from gaming to Hollywood, competing with both Disney and Studio Ghibli. It's completely insane and of course it didn't work out. But i'm saying if he just kept to gaming then he would likely be a major exec at Square, and helping them rather than hurting them.
Fun fact: Millennium Actress came out the same year as Spirits Within, had a modest budget of 1.5 million USD, and is still widely regarded as a classic. If Sak had just made a traditional 2D animated FF film with a 10 million USD budget, the film would have absolutely made a profit, even if the film was a wonky mistep.
If you re-adjust the budget to a 2D animated film, and apply it to The Spirit Within's actual box office, it would have made tens of millions in profit. Cutting edge 3D was a huge mistake.
