Final Fantasy Series Live Action Cast

[ArcangelParagon]

Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) should be Tifa in a live-action adaptation. She has roughly the same height and physique, and a equally high-pitched voice, which is a natural in her case, as I've seean and heard interviews of her, and when she speaks, her normal tone of speaking is quite high-pitched. Tifa also has a fairly high-pitched voice herself.

Conversely enough, I read somewhere that for the Twilight Saga films, Stephenie Meyer's closest physical match for the character of Alice (before Greene was casted) was none other than Rachael Leigh Cook, who is Tifa's English voice actress, because she is roughly the same height as the character (about 5'2'', compared to the actual character's 4'10'' or so and Greene's 5'5''), but she was rather old; the character's physical age is about 19, compared with Cook's 29 (circa 2008) and Greene's 21 (also circa 2008).

That's actually a VERY awesome suggestion. I'll add it to the equally good alternate suggestions. Thanks. =D

You're welcome, but you didn't add her (Ashley Greene as Tifa) to the list at the top of this thread yet...

[ArcangelParagon]

You're welcome, but you didn't add her (Ashley Greene as Tifa) to the list at the top of this thread yet...

That's because the slideshow I put on YouTube (of which the main list is a copy of) is pretty much set, so I won't be making any changes to that anymore. I did, however, add your suggestion to the part that I noted as "Alternate suggestions that I think are as good as the ones on the list."

For what it's worth, I think it's actually better than the suggestion that's on the main list, and I wish I could put up a new slideshow with your suggestion in place instead (and Wentworth Miller as Rude), but I've done too much revisions as it is.

[NeoCracker]

I'm fine with Kuja and Kefka so long as they get Crispin Freeman to voice it over.

[Jiro]

That is a damn huge list and well done to all of the contributors. I think a lot of them are fantastic. Some of them are a little bit off, in my mind, but otherwise it's awesome. Damn you for making me want to see this happen

Camilla Belle is Rinoa Heartilly! That's the most uncanny resemblance on this list. But kudos to all who did this! Not only did you guys have to find people that looked like the characters, but also pictures that had the same expressions and whatnot.

Actually, searching for the pictures was pretty much just me. But I wouldn't have gone looking for those pics without their great suggestions.


Also, I fixed the list. I figured if I can't fix the slideshow on YouTube, I might as well fix this list.

Mandy Moore was the first voice of Aerith, but her current voice actress, Andrea Bowen, could also portray Aerith in a live adaptation, since she is younger. And perhaps maybe "Zac" Efron as Zack Fair...

Yeah, I could see that. Andrea Bowen's got the innocent look that would match Aerith real well.

But Zac Efron, it seems people hate him just because he's Zac Efron no matter what character he's suggested for.

[SuperMillionaire]

Great for Andrea Bowen; I hope you add her up there as well.

But in regards to Zac Efron, if people hate him so much, then why do you have Vanessa Hudgens, his ex-girlfriend from High School Musical, listed up there as Fran?

[Jiro]

That Edi Gathegi fella made me think of Sazh tbh

[Mercen-X]

FFII
- Hayden Christensen as Leon (aside from his previous portrayal as an evil (yet pathetic) bastard on Star Wars, I don't see it)

FFIII
- Haley Pullos as Refia (my god, she's cute!)
- Michael Jai White as Xande (Chiwetel Ejiofor)

FFIV
- Steve Austin as Yang Fang Leiden (hell no!)
- Donald Sutherland as Tellah (Ian McKellen)
- Ian McKellen as FuSoYa (hey! well, Michael Gambon)

FFV
- Emile Hirsch as Bartz Klauser (why do I know that name?)
- Emma Bell as Lenna Charlotte Tycoon (???)
- Jack Black as Gilgamesh (lol... not really, no...)

FFVI
- James Franco as Setzer Gabbiani (only because his look of smug self-satisfaction matches Setzer from KH2)
- Cary Elwes as Cyan Garamonde (don't see it)
- Ray Park as Shadow (big f*ing surprise this is... try harder people... Cyril Rafaelli?)
- Billy Unger as Gau (kid from Zathura...?)

FFVII
- Alex Pettyfer as Cloud Strife (damn! you is skinny as a thread, boy! do some damned pushups, wuss!)
- Ashley Greene as Tifa Lockhart (I have no idea who this is)
- Mandy Moore as Aerith Gainsborough (while she's pretty much always struck me as the "innocent" type, Aerith she is not)
- Barry Pepper as Cid Highwind (I would prefer Jason Statham... though I don't know if he can do a "hick accent"...)
- Ben Barnes as Vincent Valentine (hey... the next Dorian Gray? sweeet)
- Jake Gyllenhaal as Zack Fair (no, I don’t know)
- Shyann McClure as Marlene Wallace (that pic makes me giggle)
- Robert Downey Jr. as Reeve Tuesti (no... someone else please)
- Daniel Henney as Tseng (Agt ZERO! I haven't actually seen him do much acting yet)
- Nick Lashaway as Reno (I don't think he's got it)
- Wentworth Miller as Rude (I don't know)
- Hugo Weaving as Professor Hojo (how about Sam Neill? But Hojo is a particularly Asian name and so he should be represented as such. In any case, no to Weaving.)

FFVIII
- Jared Padalecki as Squall Leonhart (he’s not that kid anymore)
- Alexis Bledel as Selphie Tilmitt (short enough?)
- John Stamos as Laguna Loire (hahahaha... find someone who can pass for the 20-yr-old version... Ian Somerhalder?)
- Randy Couture as Ward Zabac (a role in which he doesn’t say much thus doesn’t really have to act... perfect for Steve Austin! lol)

FFIX
- Ezra Miller as Kuja (no idea)

FFX
- Michael Welch as Tidus & Shuyin (looks a bit more like Roxas)
- Kirsten Prout as Yuna (who?)
- Hugh Jackman as Auron (close but no)
- Ron Perlman as Kimahri (hellboy dyed blue)
Sequel characters:
- Jamie Chung as Paine (neh)

XII
- Gemma Arterton as Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca (iduno)
- Chris Pine as Balthier (no... James Marsters. The man doesn’t age)
- Djimon Hounsou as Reddas (hehehehe... don’t get me wrong, I like him, but... as Reddas?)
- Russell Brand as Al-Cid Margrace (I don’t know, I suppose he has the hair, but he doesn’t strike me as being able to play a cool cat like Margrace who’s something more on the level of, I don’t know, I might say Michael Jackson in composure)
- Eric Bana as Vayne Carudas Solidor (I don’t know)

FFXIII
- Hayden Menard as Hope Estheim (don’t know, don’t care)
- Jewel Staite as Serah Farron (shouldn’t we find someone who looks more like Milla’s sister?)
- Lee Byung-Hun as Cid Raines (who?)

Dissidia: Final Fantasy
- Diane Kruger as Cosmos (kruger!)

Alternate suggestions that I think are as good as the ones on the list:
- Nina Dobrev as Tifa Lockhart (too... youngish)
- Bruce Willis as Auron (no)
- Bruce Boxleitner as Auron (no)
- Rachel Nichols as Lightning (maybe)
- Evan Rachel Wood as Oerba Dia Vanille (bit eerie)
- Cate Blanchett as Cosmos (neh)

Other decent suggestions:
- Gerard Butler as Cid Highwind (or Hugh Jackman)
- Ryan Gosling as Snow Villiers (no)

[SuperMillionaire]

You didn't add Andrea Bowen as Aerith yet, ArcangelParagon.

Edi Gathegi, the guy you suggested as Sazh, played Laurent from Twilight, Jiro.

Ashley Greene is Alice Cullen, also from Twilight.

And I think Cid Highwind should be played with an actor who can do a redneck accent, Mercen-X, but I don't know who exactly, though...

[Jiro]

Edi Gathegi, the guy you sggested as Sazh, played Laurent from Twilight, Jiro.

I'm okay with this.

[SuperMillionaire]

Okay then, good.

And this thing hasn't been updated in a while...
