Finaru Fantaji Fillum

[Marquis of Granby]

do you think finaru fantaji would lend itself well to a film in the style of say...game of thrones. so it would have the mythical element to it but not be so cosplay-like that it would make ordinary people like my good self puke up their own spleen?

it may be difficult to portray the strange races which are present in most of the games. perhaps it would be somewhere between a harry potteresque film and a game of thronesesque film.

just to be clear - i am not talking about some grubby cgi thing.

I could see that certainly working for something such as the Ivalice Alliance or perhaps one of the legacy titles. Some key features are kind of supposed to be over the top though D= I mean it would be chocobos and not horses and they are giant yellow birds. This said, I could see Vagrant Story working very well for this and thusly the Ivalice Alliance also. Considering how Bangaa, Moogles and more looked and the general attire in FFXII it could work. I personally don't mind the appearances of any of the characters across the games but this may be what fits your preference? I could also see FFVI working interestingly but of course as this is one of the games I prefer that's probably where my inclination stems from.

I agree with Game of Thrones to the point that it should be an epic fantasy series with the politics of nations playing in as they do, making the messy relations that are found in Ivalice ideal imo. The question then is will it be the type that focuses on one group or more? As the Ivalice games do cover both Clan, Prince(ss) and Pauper as such. Personally I think the multi-perspective approach of GoT would work well.

Yes that would be awesome.

We'll have house of NES with the old school characters like Fighter, Firion, and Onion Knight and then house of SNES with Bartz, Terra, Sabin etc House of Strife with Sephiroth, Cloud, Tifa, Vincent etc House of SeeD with Squall, Zidane, Vivi and such House of Blitzball with Tidus, Yuna, Seymour and things and House of Worship with Lightning and the FF 12 and other FF 13 characters.

Lightning would be the Queen and Cloud or Sephiroth would be the King and they'll like try and overthrow them, in the end Lightning kills everybody and everybody in SE makes love to her having hardcore sex. And after the credits they'll announce Lighting Returns 2 :5 and 3 :5.

Okay I liked the idea until I realized how much SE would favour " Lightning- Sama ".

I think there are Final Fantasy worlds which could convert into a film / television series in cinematic format without looking like cosplayers.

I've never been into the anime thing, so I always imagined the characters in the games looking like the 'western' style (as opposed to the anime chibi style or other styles). Even when I was playing a game with sprites, I simply converted the sprites to people in my mind. And in my mind, the eyes were human-sized and the characters had teeth when they smiled rather than semi-circular holes, and also they did not have fangs and giant tomato heads whenever they were angry.

I think I would prefer to see the FFVI universe converted to this format. I think that this universe could convert well, and it is suitably dark, and has a mixture of medieval and steampunk elements that would make interesting aesthetics for a live action TV series or series of films. There are also fewer races in that game to avoid it looking 'Harru Pottaru' or like the Tatooine Cantina (which is what an Ivalice-based live-action movie may emulate). The well-developed backstories of the characters and locations in FFVI would also make for a live action film or series of Game of Thrones proportions.

I'd love this, but it would never happen.

Honestly, I think a final fantasy in the style of Vagrant story/ff14/ff3(DS) would be great. I am tired of the CGI 3D. Theres never a good cg movie that has an equal or greater story. I personally want a 2d artstyle.

I dont know what game of thrones is. Ive heard of it, but never clear if its the same "game of thrones" name sounds as ambiguous as Red vs Blue
However, back on topic, I dknt believe SE is going to go back to fklms anytime soon.

A live-action FF film would be pretty damn cool. The question is, if they did make one, should it be made by a Japanese studio, or a Western studio?

Also, I think a traditionally-animated anime film would be pretty awesome. Maybe give it to Studio Bones or even Ghibli. If they did, they should avoid the doe-eyed, generic anime style in favour of something a little more "realistic".

I think they could make a movie off some of their games, the games are probably to short for a tv-series tho unless they add a ton of stuff. I agree if they did it they shouldn't go overboard on the cgi. Fantasy characters are always done better with a costume or animotronic but that takes way more time than cgi so most companies will just go the easy route.
