It wasn't a rowdy audience - in fact, there were a fair few parents with kids. Weird.
Anyway, the people laughing at the back were in their mid 20s or so. While they were the really obvious ones, many other people sniggered during sad moments.
Then again, when I saw the Munch's Oddyssey gameplay footage during last year's Melboure Film Festival, people were laughing so hard at the bit where Abe tosses the slig into the grinder that I couldn't hear the film itself. PS2 shots of that bit in FF8 when Squall and the generic-timid-girl are dancing had people laughing harder than the backseaters during FFTSW.
Having looked at that audience before I went in, you wouldn't have expected such a reaction. Nobody seemed rowdy (there's that word again) enough to give such a violent response.
