Would you like FFVIII to be a movie? I think it would be great as a movie!

If FFVIII Did become a movie...

1. Would you want it all in CG mode

or

2.Would you want it with actors? If so what actors should play who?

If it was made with actors the guy who played Anakin Skywaker in starwars should SO play Seifer! What do you think?

As much as the film would be absolutely delightful to watch...well we all know EXACTLY how the story goes...so for us it would not be so much fun! At least we could share the delights with the rest of humanity though!

as much as i love FF VIII i think it should just stay the way it is as an awsome game...

I think it would be a totally awesome movie! I even think you're right about thet Anakin Skywalker kid as Seifer. hmm.... Who to play Squall... No Clue. Who do you all think should be him/Rinoa?

Well I have the picture of the person, who square supposedly decided to model Rinoa after. She can act too!

I attached the pictures of her ^.^

...well we all know EXACTLY how the story goes...

No one said they had to make the movie with the same exact story of FFVIII. What about after the end. They could make a story out of the events following the end of the game. Does Laguna and his two buddies go out and kick some ass? get in some bar fights? and squall n rinoa get married.. what about selphie? whos she hook up wit? irvine? i always liked selphie, if rinoa wasnt in the game she would be my girl. I think they would have no problem making a fresh story with the characters from FFVIII.

As far as cgi or actors... well i dunno there. i bet they could do a sweet job with cgi. i cant think of any actors who could play them well. Id rather see CGI.

...well we all know EXACTLY how the story goes...

Yeah, but they ALWAYS change things in movies. Maybe they could take out a few scenes or add a few.

Also it could the story can be like what LovesRinoa said. I'd love to see if Irvine and Selphie hook up. And Zell and the girl with the pigtail. And Quistis and the Trepie Dude! ^.^

If Hayden Christionson [sp?] (Anakin in Stars War Ep.2) played Seifer. I wouldn't care much for it.

He looks the part but he really really can't act. Especially at the parts where he was supposedly pissed off. A person who can't get pissed off shouldn't be a guy playing Seifer. :D

I like the idea of actors in this FFVIII movie topic. Otherwise, it'll just feel like the game. They probably have to take out heaps of scenes since FFVIII is a 20 hour game if you rush through.

Yeah. Especially with the "I'm not a boy!" scene ^.^

I dunno who squall should be... Maybe Kristin Dynce (s/p) can play Quistis. Kristin played Mary-Jane in Spiderman, and she kinda looks the part.

god, i'd say no movie please, at least no real-person.

i think all the memebers on this board ever saw the cos-play, right? how's ur feeling? those cosplayers are definately nightmare. i cant put up with them. :mad2:
this gorgeous game has given us deep and very first impressions, not easy for us to switch our thinking to movie then. Secondly, the very tough thing must be actors.....oh, i cant image now, who will be Squall? who will be Rinoa? who will be our charming Quistis? i think the easiest one to be found shoud be CID, right? lol


if they wanna make it with CG mode, i think that would be ok, (grudging)

Well if it were live action I betcha that Tom Arnold would play as Ward.

LIVE ACTION MOVIES BASED ON VIDEO GAMES AND ANIME TEND TO SUCK.

i dont think square will be doing cgi final fantasy movies for a while...i like the idea of real live characters better anyway. except you know theyd all look 25 and be 17 or 18 in the movie. I think Angelina Jolie should play Selphie. but thats just me......:joey:

They could make CGIs off real life actors, but please, how hard would it be to find actors that can both act and look like the characters, besides I can imagine myself laughing my head off at the way the costumes would look on them. You can only express the total coolness of something in an animation, I'll stick with that!

Rye

I'd Like CG mode too. I would love to see them doFF8 FMVs with the lastest FMV technology.

Ok this is kinda off-topic and it'd really weird. But who wants to see Squall Fur part of the jacket, in the lastest FMV technoloy. I love that jacket :love: !!!

yea, FF8 movie with cg mode will definitely beat off the movie "Final Fantasy".

but only cg is enough, never turn to "real-person":D

Oh man, I think if they made one with real people it'd be funny.

Just think of watching the ending with actual people. That'd be insane.

They don't have to pick famous people to play the characters, I sure they could find people who can act and look like the characters. I think it'd be great to see real people instead of computerized characters.

I agree it would only increase the cost if stars were used. There's a B-movie out that is pretty well known, I just don't know what it's called anymore (about thrillseekers). There's a Dutch star in it (Georgina Verbaan), I don't like her nor do I think I'll like that movie much (there seem be a number of bad actors in it). But I'm just saying that it doesn't have to cost millions of dollars (or whatever curency is used), to be good movie! If it would be made whitch I really doubt.

Well maybe Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe of Friends) as Selphie. :love:

Is still say Matsu should be Rinoa, plus she's an actress

Who would play Ellone? I can't think of anyone! @_@

For Irvine I would say:

Orlando Bloom (played Legolas in Lord of the Rings)

I would love to play Ellone... but I'm a male.
:cry: - SO, NO CAN DO - :cry:

Rye
04-17-2003, 07:39 PM
*Looks at Profile* Hey your Ellone! So am I... But I don't look much like her, except for the brown hair.

Who thinks Orlando Bloom should play Irvine?

remi07
04-18-2003, 12:02 AM
hmm...i think orlando bloom could pull it off as irvine. I don't think jenifer aniston of lisa kudrow sould be in it cause they look to old.

Rye
04-18-2003, 01:58 AM
Hmm... Micheal Jackson also looks a lil like Irvine ( in a demented way! :eek: )

04-18-2003, 03:39 PM
hey, maybe hilary duff (Lizzie McGuire) could play selphei if she cut her hair and dyed it brown. And by the way, as you can see i have 2 fujinns (from: which ff8 character are you?) down below by acident, so if anyone could tell me how to get rid of one of them, if possible, that'd be great. :)

For the record, I don't think FFVIII would be a good idea as a movie. But it's fun to plan it out :D

As for who should play whom: (is that in the right order?)

Squall: Gale Harold (Brian on Queer As Folk)
Quistis: LeeLee Sobieski (sp?)
Irvine: Brad Pit
Cid: Robin Williams (he looks the part and conveys the right nervous tension)
Ultimecia: Angelica Huston

I once knew someone who'd be a perfect Rinoa... especially If I were Squall. You are extremely highly unlikely to know her and I haven't seen her for almost 3 years, so forget about it... :cry:

FF8 should be a movie with a different storyline. or hows about a stage play, of even a game sequel. FF8 should have a sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Seeing FFVIII as a movie with real actors would be amazing!! As long as the casting was done properly, I think it could break the steretype of bad video-game-to-movie conversions :)

I'm all in favour for Orlando Bloom as Irvine, by the way :D But, as for Squall it would have to be Gackt Camui, the famous Japanese singer and actor who they supposedly based his character design on in the first place! Feast your eyes on this.....

Gackt=Squall (http://www.mahamari.com/story/gfx/la_squackt01.jpg)

He would be a really good actor for squall! ^.^ Hillary Duff looks like Rinoa a bit, they have the same smile.

Mo-Nercy
04-25-2003, 01:16 PM
I think Hilary Duff could play Rinoa. yea...

Gackt Camui is perfect for Squall.

Too bad I don't look like anyone in FF8. Reno in FF7...maybe. I'm even left handed like he is. lol

remi07
04-25-2003, 09:25 PM
Gackt Camui sould definity play squall. But i still think hilary duff sould play selphie. she may look more like rinoa but she would probably act out selphie better. But that's just my opinion

Sefie
04-25-2003, 09:33 PM
I'm not her biggest fan, and I know nothing about her potential acting ability, but I think that Christina Aguilera looks suspiciously like Rikku! Oh, and if only Kiefer Sutherland was a little younger, then he could play Seifer!! *has never heard of Hilary Duff..assumes she's american...?*

yeah she's american. she's on a show on the disney channel called Lizzy McGuire. personnely i really hate that show, but i think she's a pretty good actress. and i agree with you on keifer sutherland playing seifer.

I think FF8 would make an awesome fuking movie...Better then any other final fantasy.

Toast....Dazler was referring to a past relationship. Atleast thats what I see it as.

Hillary Duff as Rinoa?Have you guys gone mad? Shes a blonde, and no I wouldnt wanna see her with black hair and trying to look like Rinoa. Some other suggestions please! Me I have none at this time. K. Sutherland is perfect for Seifer, although the age thing could be a problem. Hillary Duff would be more like a rikku if you chopped her hair off or something. And screw Christina Agulara, shes got no class or talent. :whoa:

Rachel Cook is good for Ellone. I thought Lawson was almost right on the money here


Squall: Gale Harold (Brian on Queer As Folk)
Quistis: LeeLee Sobieski (sp?)
Irvine: Brad Pit
Cid: Robin Williams (he looks the part and conveys the right nervous tension)
Ultimecia: Angelica Huston
