On the other hand, Final Fantasy stories have always been a bit dark, so it will be interesting to see how this pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 IX is also a weird one to adapt into a children’s film considering how it hid much of its darker themes of loss and acceptance underneath it’s cutesy visuals. I think VIII, X-2, and maybe V have been the closest Square has gotten to a FF that didn’t explore the main characters dealing with their own mortality. But between this and the World Ends with You anime, it is interesting how animation is mining through older Square properties nowadays.

I mean, I was playing FFIV (aka II) on my SNES before I was even 10 years old... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 YOU SPOONY BARD. FF4 made me an RPG fan. It was so far beyond anything else I'd ever seen at the time it was ridiculous. Dragon Warrior was my first experience. It was nice but it didn't have much of a plot and it was so cryptic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would veto anything having to do with xferring 9 to other forms of media. The plot is ridiculously convoluted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
