I don't want to play devil's advocate but this is a japanese made CGI prequel for a japanese video game.It is definitely not western movie reviewers cup of tea.

I'm not saying this movie is good(specially because i don't even expect the game to be good after 10,12 and 13) but it is not something that you expect non weeabos to enjoy. It's like asking roger ebert to review a shonen and expect anything more than harsh criticism.

Exactly, I think this movie is probably a big pile of shit but critic reviews are way less accurate when it comes to this kind of film so they can be ignored.

You think it's gonna be a big pile of shit yet the scores are inaccurate?

I loved advent children and that reviewed quite badly as well soooo ill probably enjoy it.

I think that even if it was good for what it is the scores would be probably low anyways, this is not the kind of thing western critics are gonna enjoy or recomend, this is for FF fans and is incomplete without playing XV. But that said, I expect the movie to be bad just as I expect the game to be average, but I can be wrong.



Western critics have embraced all sorts of movies coming from Japan. Saying this is for FF fans only is basically admitting the movie is fan service, a cash grab, and nothing more. Bringing up user score is kinda pointless, we are talking about some hardcore fans who decided the game was gonna be good based on that one infamous trailer and some Nomura interviews that popped every once in a while and showed that his "passion" for his "child" was palpable.



Does anyone know if this has been leaked yet? I want to watch it so badly xD

Lol at trusting critics to review something like this. You can only trust user reviews for something like this.

I wouldn't refer to it as a cash grab. More that SE are not good filmakers but it fulfils a niche that Final Fantasy fans may enjoy. Like I'm a big FF fan but I'm also a huge film fan. I appreciate Something like FFVII Advent Children but I also recognise that its a pile of steaming shit. I imagine this is how Dynasty Warriors' fans feel.

They only made that movie because they couldn't fit it in the game. A 100 GB+ game would be very proihibitive by today's standards.



There are videogame films which could not adapt very well for today's reviewers standards, but could still be enjoyable for franchise fans. I found Warcraft movie really enjoyable, but it was still bashed by reviewers.
