Well, if you're right and that's why Square used a different color, then that was a pretty foolish move on their part. They had to have known that fans of the game would notice the wrong color. Creating inconsistencies just to have a more "magical" color? I hope not, Square. There has to be a better explanation.

I will again mention that blue was probably used because it achieves the desired affect better than red, and was used instead of red to make the movie look as fantastic as it does now, as you yourself said.
Sorry, I tend to take things too seriously often.
