Which Final Fantasy would be the best if turned into a movie?

[Malboro_Menace]

Which of the games would be best turned into a movie. This is based from the main storyline, or journey and the events that happened throughout the game. Which would have the most depth and character delevopment? Which would have the best characters to be turned into a movie?

All these should influence your vote.

I personally would have to say 10. The characters in it, the storyline, the romance and the journey all make me think it would be an excellent movie.

[Zeromus_X]

Probably X-2. I could honestly say they could digest the main idea of the game into a movie. Of course, it wouldn't even make sense to make it into a movie anyway.

For all the rest, there's no way to cram ~20~40 hours of play into one 3-hour movie.

Final Fantasy I.

[Dell]

Final Fantasy VII, they already have a movie, make another!
OR they could make one for IX.

[Darkwing Bahamut]

Final Fantasy VIII would make a great movie.

[Captain Maxx Power]

None of them, since the extensive storylines usually mean that it takes tens of hours to tell everything efficiently. FF's are best told either through shorter stories (AC) or through series (CC).

[Marly]

I think 10 would be the best movie

[DJZen]

I wanna say IV here.

[Polaris]

Final Fantasy 8, definetly! It has romance, funny parts and action... I'd like to see who would play Quitis!

[Crossblades]

I'd say all of them. But if i had to pick one, it would probably either be I, IV, or VI

[ljkkjlcm9]

Alright most people who are posting say X, well X already is a movie haha

VIII would be good, it would have a lot of action sequences and it has everything a movie needs.

VI would be truly Epic and need to be broken down into different movies. At least one for the WoB and one for the WoR.

Only Tactics had a strong enough story to be translated into a motion picture, but I think that would make a better novel than anything else.

[~SapphireStar~]

None really. I just think Hollywood wouldnt do them justice.

[LunarWeaver]

Where's Final Fantasy XI? Guess I'll say X then.

[daggertrepe]

Final Fantasy 8, definetly! It has romance, funny parts and action... I'd like to see who would play Quitis!

IX is the best game-but it isn't movie material. I would have to say 8 also-and Tea Leoni could play Quistis all the way. :p

[rubah]

Definitely 8.

[Chris]

Definitely 8.
I actually agree with that. Even though most of the characters were somewhat bland, it still has the best movie potential.

[Shiny]

None really. I just think Hollywood wouldnt do them justice.
I agree with that, but if I had to choose I would say Final Fantasy 10.

[Mr. Lawl]

I agree with vivi_ultima! haha could you imagine a movie of FFIX? That... would be such a hard thing to do, but they could get away with it with CG, I mean, look at FFVII:AC.

I chose FFIV. I could easily see that as a movie or series of movies, and it would be phenomenal. If treated properly, one of the most amazing and unique movies created (though I'm sure there'd be a hint of LotR-esque feel to it).

[Azuka-San]

I loved FF X, so, I would like to se that as a movie:)

[Skyblade]

I would also have to say VIII. Unfortunately, as has been said, it would be hard to get the entire plot into a single movie. Ooh, wait, we could make it like LotR! Three wonderful, lengthy movies. The disc changes make fairly ready made movie breaks (3 and 4 would be one movie). With WETA workshop doing the special effects, and Peter Jackson directing, and, and...

The Spirits Within.

In all seriousness as with the book-into-film adventures of the past, I don't think such a feat could be managed without disappointing people immensely. Maybe an anime series or something, but trying to cram a 30 hour game into a 2/3 hour film would be insanity. Unless it turned out like the Mario film.

[YTDN]

VI would be truly Epic and need to be broken down into different movies. At least one for the WoB and one for the WoR.

Quoted For Truth

It would be AWESOME. If they split it into a few movies. It could be a trilogy, like LotR

[Northcrest]

Final Fantasy 7 because it is already a movie which makes it a good movie.

[Ruskies]

Either 8 or 10. Both would be awesome cuz I like love stories.

[Tiamat]

Final Fantasy 1.

Seriously, because the directors would have more creative license to work with this one than they would with any other FF. While at the same time, they would have the liberty to more heavily incorporate themes that became popular in future FFs, and expand on the existing story of FF1. Trust me, it's there, it just waits until the latter parts of the game to expand on it at all. ^_^ As a final point, my opinion is that every FF including and after FF3j is just too long and involved to effectively condense into a movie plot.

Good poll idea, by the way.

[tyrael_knight]

IV, VI, VII and X seem like the best to make movies out of..
but since i have to choose i'd say X :D

[Jessweeee♪]

Probably X-2. I could honestly say they could digest the main idea of the game into a movie. Of course, it wouldn't even make sense to make it into a movie anyway.

For all the rest, there's no way to cram ~20~40 hours of play into one 3-hour movie.


Well most of that is leveling up and fighting, which would go quicker in a movie.

I would say FFX. The ending was wonderful. Sad, but wonderful.

[Auragaea]

Final Fantasy 8, definetly! It has romance, funny parts and action... I'd like to see who would play Quitis!

IX is the best game-but it isn't movie material. I would have to say 8 also-and Tea Leoni could play Quistis all the way. :p

Some people say Uma Thurman would play the perfect Quistis, but I don't think so. Anyway, FFVIII would be the best as a movie because it has a lot of movie elements.
