Could Final Fantasy be Adapted Into a Live Action Series?? 

"what is crisis core again?", "it's crisis core movie right". Oh my god the pain I'm feeling as a ff7 fan. And no, advent children didn't bankrupt square. Spirits within yes

There is apparently a children's cartoon adaptation of Final Fantasy IX in the works. There are also rumours that a FFIX remake is under development that will release alongside the TV show.

In terms of animation, the og Persona 4 Animation is super good and really respects the game. Not the P4 Golden one though. The dub is actually super hilarious, it's the game's cast and they're just having a blast saying some crazy lines.

Fun fact: the protagonist of FF: Spirits Within was going to be like a CG celebrity sort of like Hatsune Miku.

The thing about Final Fantasy Spirits Within, is that it's a good movie, but it should have not been called Final Fantasy, it lacked a lot of the things that make a Final Fantasy. I think if it had only just been called Spirits Within, without the Final Fantasy moniker, it would have been better regarded and better received.

Dragon Quest Adventure of Dai is one of the best battle manga of all time (according to battle manga fans, I’ve only read part of it), so it definitely can work. It’s the best video game adaptation I’ve seen. How can these guys not know that it exists? I think that video games do have very good stories, it’s just in different ways than traditional stories.

Final Fantasy could be easily adapted, since every game is a different story with it's own world and characters. So just create a new original one, but for streaming services. An original fantasy series, but with Chocobos, summons, crystals, and Moogles.

There was talks of a Live-Action Final Fantasy 14 TV show, but COVID happened and they stopped. It's a shame, as FF14 is PERFECT for a tv show. They could have shown the Invasion of Eorzea by the Garleans, the Fall of Ala Mhigo, the Rise of Scions, the Battle of Silvertear Lake, and so much more! It easily could have become a hit!

Ff story would be too complex for 2hr movie. A series would be better fit

Minesweeper: The Movie is already a comedy skit (I think from og College Humor)

Castlevania has a pretty good adaptation for a game with a very limited story.

FInal fantasy need a anime instead of live action. I think the FF with most romance type will go really good with anime adaptation.

I was going to say something else but the unintentional ironay of joey asking if there's a good adaptation of a video game whilst wearing his cyberpunk edgers merch is hilarious like he's literally wearing the merch of one of the best adaptation's purely because it literally saved the company and somehow gaslight the entire world into thinking that CD project red is a good company that you should definitely trust ( :

Ngl, it sometimes hurts to hear Joey speak with such conviction about something he truly has no idea about. So basically most Final Fantasy stuff 😂 Meanwhile I'm not even that knowledgable about most of the series, I just do my research to know every team behind each game. (Can't remember the exact quote, but in one of previous episodes he mentioned the 7 remake stuff and Yoshi-P together, where the latter is not involved in anything 7) And to back up Connor, I heard that the Spirits Within bomb is not exactly the reason Squaresoft and Enix merged, they were apparently already in the talks, it's just that the movie doing so bad kind of pushed the merge faster.

I played through Fantasian out of interest, since I am a big fan of Sakaguchi's previous Final Fantasy games. I do not play Mobile games at all, but goodness me Fantasian is excellent. 3D Dioramas for the backgrounds, inventive combat, which is very well thought out and not grindy. Also the Characters and story is pretty good as well. Really slept on game.

Heavy rain, detroit become human, etc could be a netflix movie like Bandersnatch. In Bandersnatch it had viewer chosen story progression and endings.

Adaptations in a new format have to run a VERY fine line between adhering to the original source enough to appease the fanbase, whilst also ditching the things that don't work so well and adopting the things that will take advantage of the new medium. That line is so thin, that the production team has to get basically *everything* right, so its no wonder there are so many more failures than successes.

Days Since Last Time Joey Gets Annoyed About Arcane: 0

If some games could be transformed into live-action or animated movies/shows, I'm thinking of Indie Horror games like Little Nightmares, Fran Bow, or SCP Foundation. Idk why but these games, to me, would make a great horror movie or psychological horror movie

I can see robert Pattinson as cloud since he's a fan of the game

If anyone can remember Tales Of The Abyss, that had a decent anime adaptation... at least as far as I can remember. It was basically what got me super into the Tales franchise back in the day

Return of the Obra Dinn or Dark Souls could make for pretty good movies. Pyre is already a really story driven game, maybe the setting is a bit too zany for a movie though, but an animated movie in Jen Zee's artstyle would be really cool.

It was. It's called Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

How did they forget about Cyberpunk Edgerunners and have they never heard of the original Persona 4 anime or the Persona 3 movies?

I mean midgar portion is sttaightforward 3 act story that ends in a cliffhanger

Sure. Also square already said that are looking into adapting their games

the final fantasy advent children movie, was almost like a live action movie at the time, because of how good it looked, so i think it can work.

Imagine a helldiver movie, using sfx like the 90s

Dad of Light was amazing and everyone should watch it. It's not "live action" FF but it's a show about FF

Bro this probably what a pitch board would look like

Final Fantasy 6 would make the perfect HBO TV show, it has such a huge opera kinda feeling to it, varied ensemble cast of interesting characters. My only hope would be that they wouldn't make it as grimdark as Game of Thrones!!!

Dishonered would be insane

Amongst the main line of Final Fantasy (the ones with numbers), I can see IV and VI being the best bet for a movie-live-action or 2D/3D animated. Unlike the more complicated stories like VII and onwards, these two are pretty solid yet straightforward epics. The main intrigue is the true origins of the main characters (Cecil Harvey of FF4, and Terra Branford of FF6), while the main drive of the storyline is overcoming oneself alongside the conflicts within their world. FF4 also branches out to Cecil's son which becomes a decent sequel to patch up the holes of the setting from the original plotline. The themes of both games also hold mature values that would be good for both kids and adults. A good movie saga would be FF8 or FF15, which holds stories that can branch out by featuring different characters as a main protagonist-all together, they would tell an epic storyline of adventure weaving the course of destiny as the usual theme of Final Fantasy. A good anime series would have been the original FF15 which was Versus XIII, especially since FF15 itself released its short series already. Versus XIII would enable an original take which could tell an alternate reality under the same world as FF15, which also means a cleaner story with an already set premise. I personally think the story of Versus XIII would have been a great Romeo vs Juliet story (when Stella was the initial heroine rather than Lunafreya), especially since the fandom was robbed from seeing Lunafreya in leading action when Episode Luna was cancelled. FF14 is also a very worthy premise that could hold a good formula for a fantasy shounen, same with FF9 and also FF10. These three hold the cleaner stories but more complex than FF4 and FF6 due to how it features stories more than just being centered on the protagonist.

I've been thinking about this since I first finished Automata, a NieR movie would be amazing. Specifically Replicant

Dot hack: Infection The Movie. If you die in the game you die in real life.

honestly I really hope it happens while playing the new ff7 I couldn't help but think how awesome a show about it would be, although they better do it justice or else I'll go full star wars fan

I think alan wake would be a fantastic choice for movie/ tv series

Depends on whos doing the adapting.

Bioshock??

Advent children is amazing

Spirited within was amazing

I liked spirits within. It was a simple movie with great visuals

Transistor would make a great movie

Red Dead Redemption 2 would make a great TV series, proper western

I think it could be more like an anime series. That would be sick

Mass effect already exists its pretty much just star trek

Infamous live action could be cool or devil may cry could work two I guess.

Why does gearbox think we like borderlines for the story and not for the funny dialog and cool guns like who wanted a point and click spin off and who wanted a movie

Man, a shame that the guys like Heavy Rain. Even if it was a show or movie, if David Cage's writing is still anywhere near the thing, it will still be very troubled to say the least.

Connor already more knowledge than these 2 frauds

Shouldve been animated The look of the game is amazing and its being taken away just cuz its live action

I think starcraft would be a great show

Roland kevin hart is wild

jokes on you, there IS a Geometry Wars and it would make a great movie

Again, the video game technology has already caught up to present to you a cinematic experience, don’t need a live action adaptation, on it’s own it’s a player interactive experience and has more detail to get into and experience its world, unlike movie/series adaptation they would cut things out and only proceed to the next plot, making it a much less experience than the games. Don’t get me started with the casting.

Half-life can be adapted easily.

tekken would be easy to make, no idea why it failed.

If they could find the right cast they could do it definitely should they try?? Ahhh idk 😂😂😂😂

I think the only Final Fantasy that could work as a live action series is Final Fantasy 6

The answer is no.

Live action shows could work better. But you have way to many people who have put there own political nonsense in properties that has nothing to do with the ip. Totally messes with most people's enjoyment in them who are already fans of the ip. If they want to do that. They need get there own Ip made

oh god plz dont make ff a live action they making live naruto already

bro please no

no more live action movies

Joey asking if there's any good video game adaptation not realizing that his cloth of cyberpunk anime is an adaptation of a game 😂

I wouldn't watch it

I wish they’d stop trying to make live action versions of things that very obviously belong to animation. So many fantasy things just DO NOT work in live action and it makes everything turbo cringe. Fantasy stuff that trends towards sci fi like they mention mass effect, that’s whatever, but actual fantasy like final fantasy with crazy monsters and magic and talking dogs etc like that just doesn’t work. As good as the one piece live action was, everyone is asking the question how is it going to hold up when the fantasy of the world gets turned up because it’s still quite low early on in the story. I don’t have high hopes because it was already a little bit borderline barely working.

Repent and believe the gospel! There’s a loving God who wants to know you and save you. He gave his only son as a sacrifice for us so that we can spend eternity with him in peace and joy. Please consider the state of your soul! Jesus died and resurrected to save you. Believe in Jesus and follow him so you may have salvation. Life is short, please make the right choice today!

please no. no live action video game or anime has ever been good. including one piece you losers
