Forums - Gaming Discussion - Which Final Fantasy would make the best movie?

Now before you all just say your favorite final fantasy game, really try to think about the answer. For example, my favorite FInal Fantasy game is 6 but I recognize that it's a bit too long to adapt without losing alot of it's character development so I'd probably give the award to 4. Final Fantasy IV is simple enough where it could make an easy adaptation but complex enough to still be different then movies out there right now.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

Final Fantasy 7. Even though they have a CGI movie based on events after the game, I would love to see the actual story from before hand.

I'd also pick VIII.

IX is my favorite Final Fantasy but so far there hasn't been a single FF story that has blown me away as much as 8's did.



for movie lasting only about 2 hours, XII for it's reletively simpler storyline.

for TV series, all others excluding 9.

btw, 6 is the earliest ff entry i played. so i can't speak for 1-5.



Around the Network

none... they tell stories differently in videogames and movies... the best FF movie that can be made is the one that sakaguchi did imo... which imo was only FF in name because sakaguchi did it.

But FFXIII... to be on topic. It's the most straight forward... and less random hopping/back tracking.. And



Yeah I agree with FFXIII. It would be the most straight forward one as ishiki said. The story would be very suitable for a Hollywood movie and having a female lead would be epic. FFX could make a good one too though.



X-2 would make an awesome porno movie.

it's the not going to porn level or (Close to) that makes X-2 cute pshhh :P

subtlety is good!



Best film, Probably FFVIII just because it the narrative flows pretty well through the entire game, there is a focus of drama and romance, but still plenty of action and intrigue at the same time. Plus those Laguna flashbacks would work out well in the film medium.
