    FFXIV Character

    :monster: Lights, Cameras, ACTION!!!

    (This is all in hypothetical fun of course)

    Hollywood has decided to remake an FF into a Live action movie/s! Which do you think would work best and why? Also any suggestions on who to play whoever?

    XI doesn't cont cause it's too big and long of a story. And AC doesn't count for VII being made into one. And just the main series!

    VI because it's the best.

    For just about all the mainstream FFs I can think of, there'd need to be some severe cutbacks in the story for it fit into a normal 2-3 hour film.

    So I think FFX would work well. It's got a tidy little compact story that only really has one big twist at the end, which is good Hollywood material. FFXIII could work as well. If the make-up department was good enough to wind back the years, Nicole Kidman could play Vanille (red hair, Australian accent) =].

    I chose VII before I even read the description. Aren't I just the worst?

    VI would make a good live action movie, probably the best out of all the potential FF movies. VII would be cool but tbh that story is being run into the ground. Such a shame.

    X might make a good movie too but, y'know, not with an annoying main character. Honestly I'd like to see all of them made into a movie.

    Why isn't FFT in that poll?

    I think that the best movie they could make would be one 'inspired by' FFIV. This would require the script to be heavily doctored, so I voted to FFX, as I think it would lend itself much more naturally.

    I don't think FFVI would work too well with the whole Esper thing. Not to mention it would be pretty difficult for Hollywood to resist the temptation to just make Kefka a Joker knock-off.

    FFVIII was my first thought, but witches and time travel wouldn't be handled well by Hollywood either. I voted FFX on the poll because I think it would be an easy story to tell.

    I was joking about FFT. I think that it would probably be one of the most difficult games to do justice in cinematic format.

    XI and XIV are the only viable choices since they can't f up the story or the characterization.

    Default They had something like this on Gamefaqs several years ago...

    only they said which stars would play the roles in FF Tactics.

    I don't remember all the stars they chose though.

    I voted for none because an FF game couldn't be made into a movie because:

    1) The stories are so deep and long that they wouldn't be able to fit them into a movie without making sequels, which would just be wrong. So the only other alternative is to majorly cut down the story, which I would really hate!
    2) They would find it hard to capture the beauty of the games visuals and get people to look just like the characters. I only have to mention the live action Dragon Ball movie and you'll understand what I mean.
    3) They will not capture the magic and essence of the FF series. Instead, like many book and game adaptations, they will make it so generic and bland that their target audience (Us FF gamers) will hate it and not even wanna watch them.

    However, I do think that FF games could be made into good anime series. Especially FF IV and VI.
    When we dance, it looks just like Fire.

    When we sing, it sounds the same tone.

    If seven hadn't already had a slew of spin-offs thrown at it, I would want a seven...

    Egh, I wouldn't want a ten. I think eight might be cool if they talked more about the background of Ultimecia and Time Compression.

    FFX. It's bad to begin with, so at least it won't ruin anything.

    I saw a video with Beyonce and lady Gaga (not the telephone one) and I thought Beyonce could make a good Fran, altho i think a XII movie not be advisable.

    Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...
    Remember that well.
