Final Fantasy VIII Movie

[Darkblade]

Who would like to see a Final Fantasy VIII movie? Many people would probably frown upon this suggestion however I think everyone including Square-Enix should give it a chance! They could construct the entire story by means of a kind of trilogy consisting of 4 separate movies dedicated to each disc or something like that. The whole plot has massive potential and I really believe they ought to consider making a movie. I know many will respond unenthusiastically on the grounds of disbelief, but it is exactly this kind of pessimistic approach from many FF 8 fans that force Square to be so reluctant. Instead of having a long list of responses that sing the same old discouraging tune, lets have some support and back up that may spark of a huge demand for a FINAL FANTASY VIII MOVIE!!!

FF7 fans got their movie, now it's our turn!

[Zeromus_X]

Well, it wouldn't sell well.

Everything wrapped up just fine anyway.

[Hyperion4444]

Well, it wouldn't sell well.

Everything wrapped up just fine anyway.

No it didn't. Maybe the characters seems fine but what about the rest of the world?

It should be, for PS3 or higher...

Squall's Story remake + Sequel, The game needs more missions (apart from Timber mission, and maybe Cid's order to check FH) there isn't anything new except follow the story line, the story line is perfect, but could have added more elements. Change the Junction System (I got a long list of that...)
They don't really need a remake, and I love the ending in FFVIII were they all live happely ever after but can you say the same for the rest of the world? Timber never got independance, Galbadia has no president, FH train tracks still don`t work, Shumi village is still isolated from the rest of the world, Winhill is still a small town, Missil base is destroyed*, Dollet confederation may think revenge on Galdadia while they have no president, the Kramers house is in ruins, Centra's still completly annihilated and still have no civilisation, and well Estar is in Total Chaos with super sized Killing Machine Monster running loose.
If you can see any element of story that can't be done in what I've said, I can give you a list...and add some more.

[loinharte]

it'd be allright but i liked a game better
and what would the movie be aboot

[Hyperion4444]

Square-Enix + Movies = Disaster

Not that there not good, they just don't sell.
Do you even need to be reminded what happended last time?

[Xurts]

Everything wrapped up just fine anyway.
Exactly. There isn't a need for a sequel because it ended happily and the problems were solved.

Hyperion, do you have the any idea how expensive the PS3 and all of this other high-def crap is going to be? It's crazy. Only people with higher-than-average incomes will be able to afford anything.

I thought Advent Children was an excellent movie. I didn't see anything wrong with it.

[G SpOtZ]

There's been way too many of these threads.

[*~Angel Wing~*]

There's been way too many of these threads.
Yeah definetly...:eep: I'm not saying it's a bad idea though!!! :D

[CloudSquallandZidane]

Eminem plays Seifer.
Lucy Lu plays Xu.
Robin Williams as the Headmaster.
Leonardo Decaprio as Irvine.

And well ya'll come up with some i cant think of them all.

[loinharte]

There's been way too many of these threads.

agreed

False. Anyone With an income can buy a PS3.

Don't worry, the games will actually cost less because of the Blu-Ray Disk cheap cost production. (50$US PS3)

It's the System/Player that's expensif to built...

And they should drop their price! (600$US is still a lot!)

[atlanteay]

besides, by the time an ff8 sequal/ remake comes out, the ps3 would drop its price. A sequal/ remake would take at least 3 years and there's 3 ff13 titles so maybe 5 years later might we get a remake/sequal. If the ps3's price doesn't drop by then... well... that's just sad.

i don't like the idea of a movie though. about 1 hour of eye candy . SE doesn't make good movies. Only the graphics are good.

[Hyperion4444]

From what I've heard*.

They are planning to release FFXIII & Versus at the same time.
I can't confirm this...

As soon as I know, I'll post it.

[Ashley Schovitz]

There's been way too many of these threads.
Yes and they won't do it, because they're money grubbing pigs, I wanted a fighting game or a shooting game with all the FF shooters if they put out those bad selling Chocobo Racing and Chocobo's Dungeon then they could release a good FF spin off for everyone.

[Shiny]

No. Final Fantasy 8 was completed. There were no questions left answered and no room to build on to the storyline. So, there is no point for a movie, or game sequel.

[Xurts]

Uh, no.

Most people have more important things to spend their money on like rent/bills, food, gas, etc. I doubt that someone is going to have an extra $600 lying around. Plus another couple hundred for a HDTV. That depends on your job, of course.

The Blue-ray disks are going to be more expensive to produce. Sony has said that $60 will be the minimum price for new games, and that some games might be as expensive as $100.

[enigma1234]

I don't know about you guyz but I want to see a FF8 movie.

Oh well,

If you don't have the cash, may as well save your money and buy PC games on a system that can actually be upgraded to support new games.

Saves time and energy.

Sony strategy:
PS3: Plays PS,PS2, Audio CD, DVDs, PS3 Blue-Ray Disks Games & Blue-Ray Movies, Internet Adaptable...: 600$
Sony Blue-Ray Player: Only plays movies: 1000$

And that's true, lol

I totally agree when you say it's expensif!
(all new technology is...)

It was like my boss wanted to buy a new PC and goes to the store:

Boss: Is this ''the Blue Tooth technology'' the best thing on the market?
Salesman: Euh, well, yeah, it's kind of good...
My Boss: It's says it's new technology.
Salesman: Yeah, but you have to pay 20$ for an adaptor.
My Boss: I didn't ask wich one costed less, I asked you for the best stuff.

Right then, he knew the salesman didn't wanted to sell it.
Because this new technology is, without a doubt, going to sell a lot.
And if they don't sell their old stuff first, they'll be stuck with it.

Wondering why PS3 cost less than their Player?
Well, you'll have to ask them yourself.
(I think I know why, but I'm not them, so I can't confirm but only speculate...)

...and I always tend to post very long posts...


Final word of advice:

If you don't have the money right now, don't worry!

Wait until the price of it drops under 200$ and get it there.

And by the way, it's 50$ (average price tag) for the PS3.
Look it up on an Official Site.

The Blue-Ray Disks doesn't cost a lot to produce,
It's the players that are hard to come by...

And I would still love at least a remake of the game!

[FFVIII Fan]

Holy god yes!

[King-Killer]

Definitely,

They should enhance their features on screen.

Make a New Generation Game/Movie, upgrade their styles.
Make like Killzone, you think the graphics is all movie, but it's the actual game.
http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/killzone2/media.html

Now that would be cool!

Just look at this incredible image of Devil May Cry 4, if your PC can support it.

[chrisfffan]

game movies aint very good players when they watch the film want to play the game and not many people apart from children and fans would watch it so a game is a much better idear i think, they should remake 7 8 and possible 9.

[King-Killer]

Absolutely.

They already made many extention to FF7 including:
-Dirge of Cerberus who went gold in Japan
-Advend Children
-Core Crisis
-Before Crisis and who knows what else they have in store.


I'm sure they can do the same here.

MORE: EDIT BEFORE TIME.

*Xurts is replying*


*Reads Xurts Mind!*

What the Hell are you talking about?

They should make another, or at least a remake of the game for the PS3.

I'll do my Zantetsuken...

You say that's it's pricy...

Well I know alot of people that buys more than one system.

If you think that's not a waste of money...

People should stick with one trusty system that they like.


I heard somewhere of a FFVII on PS3...

[Xurts]

Oh well,

If you don't have the cash, may as well save your money and buy PC games on a system that can actually be upgraded to support new games.

That's actually what I was planning on doing.

Sony Blue-Ray Player: Only plays movies: 1000$

And that's true, lol

I noticed that the PS3 is cheaper than the Blu-ray players. That's what makes buying it more attractive, because I would be saving $400 if I wanted a player. Plus it plays games, not just movies.

Sony (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7763823&type=product&id=1142288677966) and Samsung's (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7772822&type=product&id=1142289574588) Blu-ray players both cost $1,000.


And by the way, it's 50$ (average price tag) for the PS3.
Look it up on an Official Site.
I've just spent an hour trying to find anything that mentions the price of PS3 games on Sony's sites. They have too much crap on their sites, and there is no way in hell I am waiting for it all to load, just to put something else in the search box and then be directed to another script-saturated site. You'll have to find me a quote where they say that every PS3 game will cost $50. I doubt you'll find one though.


The Blue-Ray Disks doesn't cost a lot to produce,
It's the players that are hard to come by...
Both the game and the player are expensive to produce. That's why the players are so expensive, and that is why the games will be so expensive.

King-Killer, Square has said that they are not making a FF7 remake for the PS3. That was just a rumor. The trailer was just to show how nice the PS3's graphics will be.

[King-Killer]

Didn't I just, said that?

Rumors.

Oh, and read my edit post again,
it's dated before your post to contradic your post.

Like saying, you got owned just before you even could post your own.
*Reads Xurst Mind*

...
Alot of people have more than one people have bought more than one system
They bought PS2/Game Cube AND XBOX!
I can't even image myself wasting my money. (and time to play ALL theses games.)

I'll post more tommorow, t'ill then!

[Xurts]

Didn't I just, said that?

Rumors.
You just said that you heard it from somewhere. I think Gamespot posted Square's official statement on it.

[pumpkinaeris]

Maybe they could make a movie version of the game? Like not make up a new story but put the game into an actual story..i dunno, just an idea..dont like shout at me or anything ^^;;

[pumpkinaeris]

Or...putting all the Final Fantasies into a book series would make for good reading =^^= id buy them :P

[hplvr]

welll..... if they make a movie then everyone will expect to have a movie for every other FF, while Sqyare Enix already have enough crap to do as it is.....
the only ff movie is FF7: AC, which wasnt really the game, and the other was the Spirits WIthin, whihc pretty much as nothign to do with any of the other FF games.... definatly a rumor

[vampirepiggyhunter7]

If so it needs to expand upon the plot.
Like AC.
Beacuse to be true to the game every second there'd be a fight, or itd be a really long movie. That'd suck. And I also wouldn't want the original version to be altered.

if they wanted to expand the plot for FF8, why are they making another FF7 movie then.....
i think the only reason they made a FF7 movie was cuz its like the best and most popular one in the series

[Xurts]

i think the only reason they made a FF7 movie was cuz its like the best and most popular one in the series
No, don't even start with that.

[ChibiKadaj]

I love the Idea for a movie, I would love to hear they're japanese voices and all omg that would be cool. I love FFVIII

[ChibiKadaj]

i think the only reason they made a FF7 movie was cuz its like the best and most popular one in the series
No, don't even start with that.
Yeah don't even, cause if you would really see that It's hard to Find FFVIII anywhere. FFVII can be found anywhere.

[King-Killer]

Square-Enix + Movies = Disaster

Not that there not good, they just don't sell.
Do you even need to be reminded what happended last time?

That's true, they don't sell.
The movie SW costed more to produced than it actually sold.

Resulting in a major lost.
Changing names from Squaresoft to Square-Enix...

[Hyperion4444]

Yeah don't even, cause if you would really see that It's hard to Find FFVIII anywhere. FFVII can be found anywhere.

In my case,

I did a 3h trip to get my hands on FFVIII,

Unfortunatly, I haven't found a single store that sells FFVII.
And when I did...

And in one store, 1h trip, I found no version of FF8,
FF1-FF6+tactics+FF9-FFX-2+SW, no FFVII, nor FFVIII.

Trust me, I looked everywhere...
Everytime I asked, they replied:
-Sold Out.
-When can I get the next Order of FFVII/FFVIII:
-The list is long, you'll have to wait at least 1 month to get either game.
-!!!

[King-Killer]

I'm sorry to break the news for you.
For anyone who thinks that BD are going to cost a lot.

And Xurts?
It ''FF7'' was just to make you talk,
*Laughts*
*Reads Xurts Mind Again*

You all wondering it's capabilities:

**My Little Blu Heaven**
-25GB of storage per layer (a DVD can only store 4.7)
-Resolutions up to 1920X1080p (Twice as high as all but the high-end televisions currently on the market)
-Nine Hours of HD video (a DVD can store roughly two hours)
-26 hours of standard-definition video
-Backward Compatibility

So, again.
*Reads the tough of Personel of Sony*
Sony has announced that they are going to sell their movies around 23.45$
And that's with the movie in it.
Also plans to sell to retailers 49,99$ their games.
And that's with the game in it.
And that's the retail price, you can always buy it online.

You can also download their games&movies on to your new PS3 (with a price of course) for far cheaper than it's BD format.

[ChibiKadaj]

Yeah don't even, cause if you would really see that It's hard to Find FFVIII anywhere. FFVII can be found anywhere.

Yes I know that. I found FVII everywhere around where I live. Everytime I ask about 8 they are like "it's hard to find everyone wants it." I order it one cause it was broken and then someone stole it from me. Now i have to buy it again. Sad part is Ebgames is out of stock right now so i'm ordering it from Buy.Com.

[Xurts]

You're going to have to find me a link where they say it will be $50.

[ChibiKadaj]

The one i'm getting is $20

[King-Killer]

You can go on 1up.com
Buy yourself a copy of OPM (Official Playstation Magazine)
The ''JUNE Issue'' says that Blu-Ray Disk Movies are going to be sell for 23.45 (if I'm not mistaking, I just lost my Magazine YESTERDAY! damn.)

You can also go to 1up and check PS3 games.
altough theses aren't the OFFICIAL PRICE of the games, the real price will be shown when release, but 49.99$ is the average. (Some of them may be cheaper)

PS: You never know how much a retailer is going to charge you.

Beside, didn't I posted that you CAN DOWNLOAD GAMES ON YOUR PS3 FOR A PRICE CHEAPER THAN IT'S BLU-RAY FORMAT.
well didn't I?
*I think* You can choose between the 20GB and the 60GB.
If not, it's a 60GB.
(I lost my Magazine...)
If someone stole it... ZANTETSUKEN!

[Cookie]

Isn't this supposed to be about an VIII movie? Just curious.
Having just watched Advent Children i think it would be good to see an VIII film but how could tthey carry the story on? Maybe with Odine as villain. (can't remember what happened to him, haven't played in ages.)

[Shiny]

Yeah don't even, cause if you would really see that It's hard to Find FFVIII anywhere. FFVII can be found anywhere.
I find it equally easy to find both of them. It all depends on where you live. I don't see what that has anything to do with FFVIII becoming a movie though.

I also think money would be an issue in making an FFVIII film as I highly doubt they would make an FF movie with live actors. The cost of a CGI movie would be great and they wouldn't want to risk that on a game who's sales weren't the best in the series.

FF7 fans got their movie, now it's our turn!
they are daccordo in Italy and I suppose also them is exited the film
# final fantasy#ed is in version film and reversal animated cardboard
(I study in Australia and I know the succeeded one that it has had and
that I hope will still have)

[King-Killer]

A movie last 2h

I can't see why not, after all it was a great game. Whether a movie would turn out well or not, I don't know, but I would definately pay to see it if it did happen to come out.
