What FF game would do best as a movie?

Kidd · December 10th, 2003

We've all thought about it before, making a movie out of an FF game that follows the game's story perfectly. It should be able to make a pretty nice one if they make a 3hour one - well, from some of the games, anyway. What game(s) do you think would do best as a movie(s)?

**hushypushy** · December 10th, 2003

for some reason i think FF6 would do the best. it has quite a majestic story that is more "normal"...kinda like Xmen with those espers and creepy towns and such. i like FF7's story much better but it would be weird because it's so cartoony (chocobo racing, golden saucer, things like that)

Kidd · December 10th, 2003

I think ff4 and ff10 myself, actually. ff6 wouldn't give enough screentime for the characters (and wouldn't you hate having an ff6-based movie without, say, Sabin?).

Boltzmann · December 10th, 2003

My personal pick would be FF6. It's story is kicka$$. I still love this game

Strider · December 10th, 2003

ff6 here too, though i think they'd need to make two movies on it just to fit a bit of the story in, perhaps one movie before the doomsday and one after

**hushypushy** · December 10th, 2003

FF6 would be cool to see all the characters weaved in...kinda like Ocean's Eleven perhaps

**Razor Blade** · December 10th, 2003

I say FFVIII, I always imagines it as a movie thanks to the cinematics ... It has love, death, action and damn cool monsters etc ... Yup thats my vote. Now let the flaming begin on Razor for sayinf that ...

SkyeHack · December 10th, 2003

Actually Razor, I agree with you. No flame at all!

**Razor Blade** · December 10th, 2003

Yay! Finally a non FF8 hater ... I don't get it, why people hated it? I mean FF9 wasn't as good In my opinion. I mean it was OKAY, but not as in-depth, and too kiddy. But anyways back on topic ...

Yea FF8 would be the best choice for an overall movie.

Boltzmann · December 10th, 2003

Argh!! Squall on the movies? I would kill myself before watching such a movie. You know, even FFMQ would be more epical

**Razor Blade** · December 10th, 2003

Okay he is a girly boy always asking, does anyone care about me? What is it like to die? blah blah ...

He rambles on like a little girl (no offence ladies)

But they just need to butch him up a bit.

SkyeHack · December 10th, 2003

I only hope for a true FF game to movie movie! I don't care which one, just release it!

**Razor Blade** · December 10th, 2003

Yea FF:TSW sucked ass. If they made a game to movie it would be alot better.

**_E_** · December 10th, 2003

FF6 here. Its the best FF suited for a movie. Storyline , characters and music makes it the best candidate.

Yours,
-Elly

Naru · December 11th, 2003

I vote for Final Fantasy Tactics. It has a very nice story in my opinion.

hey i love FF8 too. but FF9 was better

GSDragoon · December 11th, 2003

Although I like 4 the best, I would say that 6 or 7 would make the best movies. 1 and 3 wouldn't work since there are no real characters. No character developement.

**Razor Blade** · December 11th, 2003

Well I'm not gonna flame ya.

I know how it feels

But ya I think FFX might also make a good movie. Or they can use FFX-2 and recreate a charlies Angels style movie that will suck but make lots of money. And who cares if we get to see Rikku's ass!

... and Yuna of course

Square pulled a smart move and didn't reveal the personalities of these characters at the release... they waited a long time until they could release 8bit Theater.... kidding, kidding... ^_~x

GSDragoon · December 11th, 2003

just imagine a movie with non-real characters like that...
