Blu Ray nowadays can store up to 100GBs, why the fuck they didn't store all the game data in it and still need downloads?

FF games are indeed only needing 1 disc if the FMVs removed.

FMV took up a ton of space. We don't need FMV now since rendering in real time with existing game assets replaced FMV. We started replacing FMV with Xbox and GameCube, though PS2 still relied a bit on FMV. For example, on GameCube Resident Evil 4 cutsceens were rendered in real time but when they ported it to PS2 they used FMVs of it running on GameCube.

Once you're aware of your own art, you can train yourself to identify and replicate the "good" ones...
And hands off the bad ones.

Because that way they can release the game unpolished and keep working on patches to make the games slowly become playable over the 6+ months while the player base acts as testers.
