Thread: Play based on the story of Final Fantasy VI: Anyone down?

  1. #1

    Default Play based on the story of Final Fantasy VI: Anyone down?

    I just got this idea from the LARP'ing thread:

    If I offer to script and direct a play based on the story of Final Fantasy VI, would anyone be interested in acting in it?

    Writing Sample #1

    Writing Sample #2

    Writing Sample #3


    Please note that #3 does not necessarily reflect the play I would write; as well, I don't mean re-enact Final Fantasy VI, but write an original story told within the time frame of the game itself.

    Note: The emphasized statement above has gone out the window. See below. This will be a dramatization of the Flashback in Zozo.

    Me? Act? Pfffft.

    Good idea though. I imagine FFVI would be interesting if told in a dramatic play. Kefka would come into his own I imagine.

    It would be too long for a stage play, and there would be too many action sequences and special effects required.

    But to dramatize the flashback in Zozo would be thought-provoking enough.

    Dude, yes. I would TOTALLY be down with acting. I love acting and I have ALWAYS wanted a Final Fantasy esque play. Seriously.

    Great! Welcome aboard!

    I don't think a one-person play is going to do it, but I'm happy for your enthusiasm.

    Who else?

    If you can find me, I will come... and I will also play with you... and I will also act in your play. But I will become a sloth if you ride me too hard (giggity).
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I'll play Clyde Arrowny. I assume he'd have the fewest lines. lol

    Alright~!

    Our cast has officially grown to two people!

    And I guess FINAL FANTASY VI: FLASHBACK is as good a working title as any.

    PRESENT DAY
    TINA BRANFORD
    LOCKE COLE
    SETZER GABIANNI (One line)
    SABIN RENE FIGARO (One line)
    EDGAR RONI FIGARO (One line)

    FLASHBACK
    MADEEN
    MADELINE BRANFORD
    ALEXANDER (The Elder)
    FENRIR (The Wolf Guy)
    LAKSHMI (The Faerie - One line)
    YURA (Two lines)
    EMPEROR GHASTRA

    As for non-speaking parts:

    PRESENT DAY
    CAYENNE GARAMONDE
    GAU
    MOG

    FLASHBACK
    IMPERIAL SOLDIERS (As many as four)
    EIDOLONS (Two, can be any not listed above...nothing with world-ending powers)

    Please note that I will reserve casting decisions for myself at this time, and also that I have no qualms about someone cross-dressing for a part. Also, note that no one in the present day appears in the flashback, so it'll be perfectly convenient for people to play more than one part (though it's going to involve hella costume changes).

    Er...um...he's not in it.

    BACKDROPS

    BRICK WALL (Zozo)
    CAVE (Madeline's resting place and the Sealed Gate on the Eidolon side, distinguished by colored lighting)
    YELLOWED GRASSY HILLS WITH BRIDGES (Outdoor Eidolon World)
    WATER AND DEAD TREES REFLECTED IN WATER (Sealed Gate on Human side)

    PROPS

    MAGICITE
    BED
    TORCHES x2

    UPDATE: Mercen-X raised a valid point, and I thought I'd better get it out in the open.

    Yeah, I know. We're all spread out.

    It's possible this may never come to fruition, but if I can lay hold of enough dough someday, I'll simply pay to have everyone flown in.

    But the play's the thing.

    Fair warning, I can only lend my body and voice to this project. I don't have access to nor the money for other necessities (like costumes).

    Another valid point.

    I'll make it absolutely clear that the onus for funding this rests solely on me, unless someone(the copyright holder) offers.
