I tend to disagree, yer there could have been a bit more, but now, as it was stated previously, there are other alternate games/movie which explain what happened to the guys after the encounter with Sephiroth.
Final Fantasy Advent Children stated what the characters were doing, I.E Barret mining for oil, Cloud with his delivery service, Tifa carrying on working at the Seventh heaven. etc.
I agree on the part where you said that the last bosses were not all that challenging, but Squaresoft realised that the large majority of their fanbase that were playng their Final Fantasy series were that of the older generation as they used to take alot of concentration and tactics to conquer. You never used to be able to march through the game without having to worry about leveling up. So to make the Final Fantasy series more adaptable to the other generations, they lowered the difficulty somewhat, this then brougt new customers in, younger gamers started to appreciate the game because it didn't take to much brain work to do.
However, the final cut-scene did lack that certain "final Chapter" you never really fully understood what happened at the time. I too was one who thought this, but at the end of the day, I enjoyed the game, so what if the ending was a little crummy, the actual game-play and story line kept me buckled down to my chair and resuming play.
