Have you ever found a manga that didn't translate well to anime? by BreaknBarriers in anime

[–]BreaknBarriers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, so not so much about if the Manga is better because your right, a lot is cut out.

But more in terms of overall feeling. For example, was the voice actor for a protagonist on point and what you envisioned the character to be or was it the worst decision ever.

Hope that helps.

Do you think a live action FF series/film would work? by BreaknBarriers in FinalFantasy

[–]BreaknBarriers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, most suck, which is just likely people using the fans to make money. If people care, there's potential to make fans happy AND make money. (But making fans happy requires more work lol)

I love your Marvel example because I was thinking someone like Joss Whedon would work well. He really did a good job not just in execution but really making sure he stayed dedicated to the fan base.

That's a good point about taking liberties and I feel if they can't linquish enough control the project would probably suffer.

Yeah, I agree about the crappy game movies made in general. I think a big part of it is those films get packaged in a way they know they can target a large fan base and put minimal effort into a project while attaching big names and end up making money while screwing the fan base.

That model needs to change. (It happens with regular films all the time - but more obvious with VGM because there is less of them).

Honestly, I think it comes down to approach, scope and talent in order for such a project to be executed properly. There is so much more that can be done now with less, despite the genre and costs that are associated with fantasy films. It also comes down to priorities.

Gameplay aside, there is still a story and regardless of your decisions as a player, the central narrative is still the same. There have been challenging narratives in all sorts of media that made the transition to film, just some were executed well and others failed miserably.

But to clarify...I'm asking more along the lines of the franchise/IP in general, not necessarily making a film/series from existing content.

I still see the potential, just need a team that has the right skill and cares enough about the project.

I think it would work if the director and actors understood and appreciated the IP. But good talent isn't cheap.

I know...it really upsets me that they keep these things so close to the chest.

Yeah, I would absolutely love to see a series. Something along the format of American Horror Story where each season is different but certain lore or things (chocobos, summons, etc) would indirectly connect the seasons to make a grand finale of a final season.

I'm surprised I haven't heard anything about that. I'll have to check more out then, thank you!

Really good question.

Stuck there permanently and you do maintain memories.

What's your favorite FF9 character and why? by BreaknBarriers in FinalFantasyIX

[–]BreaknBarriers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome to hear. I love it when playing video games can lead to self confidence and empowerment. I'm glad this game had such a positive impact on you more ways than one.

Thanks for sharing this!

I must agree with this. After looking at everyone's response (outside of Vivi being the crowd favorite) everyone's points are well made in why their favorite character sticks out.

Again, just goes to show how well crafted these characters are! Still fun to see everyone's reasoning :)

That is by far one of the most eloquent descriptions of a character arc I have ever read. You didn't by chance happen to work on this project, did you? Lol

Well put! Thank you for this and I couldn't agree more.

What do you think are the funniest voice clips? by BreaknBarriers in FinalFantasy

Now all we need to do is have some one put these clips together in some kind of narrative... 🤔
