The Spirits Within was pure sci-fi kino. So where is her FF game?
FFINO (Final Fantasy In Name Only)
>>741893784FF is an anthology series of unrelated games. The movie was basically that and even then shared some thematic and character elements with other FF games.
how can i hire her for my movie
>>741894124Mention them
>>741894371It was mostly spiritually aped from FF7 but there are some loose connections to broad FF tropes in Spirits Within>"spirits" are basically expies of crystals that the party gathers to save the world>BBEG turns out to be not an actively malevolent entity but an otherworldly alien accident that unfortunately fucked up the earth>plan of the human villain revolves around using a big cannon to shoot the BBEG to death (and fails)>gaia spirits are just lifestream bullshit>Dr. Cid
>>741895223nta but he was "Dr Sid". Not Cid.
>>741894124But Spirits Within is scifi, and therefore ineligible to be Final Fantasy.
>>741893654https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTSIn73AOIsThis is a very misunderstood FMV film that met its fate and demise for the simply fact that the majority of people supposed that "Final Fantasy" was all centered on the story of Final Fantasy 7. So when this film came out, people was still awaiting that the "true FF7 ending", with the fate of all the characters, was someway finally disclosed. The fact that part of the film story resembles what told in FF7 (about how the souls returns to the planet, like the Lifestream in 7, and how an alient race got scattered around the universe, attached to a meteorite, like it was explained happened when Jenova arrived on the FF7 world), not helped, so the film got doomed and the creator of FF left the company, dooming the franchise with his decision, for Final Fantasy never will be good again due to this. And 25 of flops proves it. SE didn't either understood the story of FF7, messing up with it through Advent Children and all the retconing caused with the Compilation.
>>741893654Where is the Steve Buscemi Final Fantasy game?
This shit is exactly when FF died. Not because of the MMO.
Sorry, I forgot this magnificent track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6CX9hHUv_c
>>741893654Fantastic score, designs and action. Its only flaw is being named Final Fantasy. If it was named something else it would be regarded as one of the best and most underrated science-fiction films of the 21st century.
>>741893654she looks mid as fuck
>>741899832how dare you
I just watched this movie last nightWhat the fuck is going on?
>>741895624FF7 is sci-fi too. The whole plot revolves around an alien lifeform
>>741900130Final Fantasy is fantasy with sci-fi elements. That includes 7, and has been since FF1.
>>741899903you have to player every single final fantasy game, kingdom hearts games and disguya games to even begin to understand what nomura was trying to tell usyou may also have to play the world ends with you but maybe not
>>741900130Scifi is when you say "what if this happened" and divert the real world timeline. No matter how many rockets or robots you put in a fantasy setting, it's still fantasy.
>>741893654>No soundtrack by Nobuo UematsuMissed opportunity
>>741894124For your information, the FF games still have a whole lot of elements that they share between each other. The FF movie did not. Hence why it is FF in name only.Not a bad movie, but, and again, FF in name only.
Garbage, they deserved the failure
>>741897775It's not when FF died, but it did cause it to die. This is the movie that got Sakaguchi the boot after its commercial failure and led to every FF failure afterwards, starting with XII (albeit a minor failure and mostly alright game) and XIII (the real end of FF games being good).
The movie DOES have 'Fantasy' elements tho. Most of the plot revolves around the whole spiritual elements and ghosts and gaia (which comes directly from FF7) etc. hence the name Spirits Within. Its sci-fi fantasy but the fantasy is still very clearly there.
>>741904795>The FF movie did not.There are a lot of elements which come directly from Final Fantasy 7 as >>741895223and >>741905553 mentioned
>>741893654Its called mass effect. Mass effects art direction was inspired by sprits with in. The clothes, the orange glowing multitools, shooting things.
>>741906916Spirits Within was also the first movie with "people" and "talking," which Mass Effect blatantly copied.
>>741899903A bunch of boring ass nothing
>>741907417mass effects art director admitted it
Post the nude one.
>>741895624Embarrassing post.
man, 2000s goon stuff was so cringe
>>741907984>doesn't know what scifi isPoint to where FF7 diverged from our timeline.
>>741907886https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2011/06/29/mass-effect-inspired-by-final-fantasy-the-spirits-within/
>>741893654Spirits Within is equivalent to gamers who say graphics are the most important thing
>>741908081>FF began with 7>sci-fi only ever involves time travelOutrageously inflammatory post made in bad faith. And you've been doing this for three hours nonstop OUCH!
>>741908145>time travel>can't read American because poorName any Final Fantasy game that is actually scifi, and then point to where it diverges from our timeline.
>>741897681I just began picturing him playing all the Cids. really upped my enjoyment.
>>741908215>word salad babble>made up personal definitions for words and genresEpic post, raggedy bitch.
>>741893654Its a good movie. It not being "Final Fantasy" was always the dumbest argument because FF is not consistent in the slightest.
>>741908215>diverge from our timelinewhat?
>>741908287>still can't define scifi>even though it's defined
>>741893654Remember they made a similar image for Gray Edwards.
>>741899903The only way to fix the wound that the aliens didnt mean to make is to find living wavelengths that match the planets' frequency so it can begin to heal itself and boot out the aliens.... like digging out a sliver out of your finger so the pain stops and the healing can begin
It's wild how James Woods is actually a fucking retard and not playing any character he portrays, he's just being himself. All those shit-retarded villains that off themselves out of pure hubris and avarice? That's all just James Woods.
>>741908372He's a disingenuous narcissist who doesn't even read sci-fi but believes that all sci-fi involves time travel.
>>741908550Stop responding to yourself, it's cringe.
FF is in dire straits rn. Why can't Squeen deliver something completely out of left field like a Spirits Within game?
>>741908372All scifi involves a "what if this happened?" scenario in the real world, and extrapolates consequences based on it.>>741908550>time travel>STILL CAN NOT READ AMERICANIt must be hot without an air conditioner, Karoly Pzcynwszky.
>>741905063XIII was was the final nail. To think that it received 2 sequels because the director had a boner for Lightning.Versus 13 was supposed to revive the brand but it turned out to be the biggest disappointment of all time coming from SE. 7R is an apology letter but it's just them milking their most popular title towards a new generation.
>>741908737>All scifi involves>real worldaccording to fucking who?
>>741908590>>741908737LAMMO
>>741908796It's what scifi is. Without the real world element, you end up with futuristic fantasy, as the concept of fantasy is cutting the universe from whole cloth.
>>741908994>Without the real world elementHoly shit, you don't know how stories are made at all.
>>741909181>talks about how stories are made>can't form two sentences properlyHairy Pottery.
>>741908474>>hm
>>741908814Problem, samefaggot?
>>741908474The guy running against President Benson in Hot Shots! Part Deux?
>>741894124If it was just called The Spirits Within it would have been an okay movie. Sticking Final Fantasy onto it made it absolute garbage because it has absolutely nothing to do with anything else Final Fantasy.
>>741893654I watched the Spirits Within in theaters as a kid and slept through the whole thing.
>>741909439You got so mad you replied to the same post as fast as you could LOL newfags have zero subtlety.
>>741909439>>741909763Samefag.
>>741893654Hot take but the movie wasn't that bad. A bit boring all things considered, but not offensive.6/10. Nothing special. It's a masterpiece compared to all the bullshit that releases today.
Saw it in the theaters as a kid and was blown away. I dont remember seeing it again though
>>741910107It's like watching The Batman. It's not offensively bad, but it's not good.
>>741904795>Not a bad movielolno. I saw this in the theater as a kid and I was disappointed.
>>741893654It's the reason we're stuck with Square Enix rather than just Squaresoft.Now where is HER game?
>>741893654Based.
>>741911643>3DPD
>>741893654Its kino. I want a sequel more than anything.
>>741908745>because the director had a boner for Lightning.Tbf I also have a boner for Lightning
>>741911745>I want a sequelabout fucking what

>>741912063It was a joke, combative anon.
>>741911643She was Chun-Li in the 90s Street Fighter movie, voiced Mulan, and now is a total milf. Based indeed.
>>741912193Hags are disgustingHag lovers even more
I was in the Czech Republic with my family visiting a man my dad went to high school with when final fantasy spirits within was in theaters. I saw in in a theater in Prague. I don't know why I mention this, it's just the only time I ever watched that movie and this made me remember it existed, probably haven't even thought about that movie in the last 2+ decades.
its amazing how far ahead if his time sakaguchi was pimping out a digital actress.
>>741895624The entire movie revolves around Gaia, the 8 Spirits, and literal ghosts. Its very much fantasy or sci-fi fantasy like FF7.
>>741893654Its better than Advent Children for sure.
>>741893654I saw it back then, i remember it being in the bargain bins, i remember thinking why the main char looked like Laguna and why the fk they made the man with the machine gun a grill wtf.
>>741909635I watched a Final Fantasy anime once that was nothing like Final Fantasy, I don't remember the name of the anime, I watched in the mid to late 00's. I was angry about it for awhile. Can't remember the name.
>>741893654Square's greatest mistake was not telling Sakaguchi "no" when he asked for a gorillion dollars to make a movie. It killed their company. Same thing with the Star Wars prequels. Sometimes you just have to tell the genius savants to get back in their corner.
>>741901203>disguyaThat's Nintendo fuckass

>>741918380are you nomura
>>741917674Anon, you don't understand. FFVII did gangbusters. People loved the cinematics, they'd love a whole move from the genius minds of that game.
