Looking at what they've some with ff14 online, the current creative team could probably put together an amazing movie. They did none of this, and the film tanked, despite incredible for the time effects and visuals.
#REDDIT FINAL FANTASY SPIRITS WITHIN MOVIE#
Or alternately, following the movie up with a game based on the movie. Or an original story in a pre-established game world. So the choice to do an original story, in a totally new world, was puzzling.Įven a fanservicey movie with cameos from some familiar faces would've been more popular then this. By calling it a ff movie, you are hoping to attract fans of the games, clearly. They had so many great stories in their games they could have used, they could have expanded on something from one of the games, but chose to do a totally new thing with no connection at all to any of their games, other then there being chocobos and cid. I think the huge mistake they made was in not tying it to any actual ff game. Loved the visuals, was underwhelmed by the plot. For the Time though this Movie challenged western audiences in a way that on a Mainstream level it wasn't ready for but now you look at all the influence Japan has in our Culture and I think it would go a lot differently if this Movie were re-released today. What I'm saying with the Avatar shit is basically in the moment in Theaters ppl make bad judgements and if this Movie (Spirits within) were released today I don't think it would get the negativity at all but prolly may get some obv cause like nothing is perfect. Personally, I liked this Movie and yeah I don't really care if everyone else hated it or whatever because I know those same ppl prolly liked Avatar and like I said I was LITERALLY one of none who was like "Eh, this Movie kinda sucked" which is at this point a common thought about that Movie. Japanese Anime always finds a way to make the Bad Guy just on a different level which is suppose to pull/tug at your emotions but then they toss in shit that tugs at your heart and then ofc your mind. However you'll see often in Japanese Movies that they basically write Bad Guys to be like the Superman of Bad Guys and for us as Western Go-ers we look at Superman as like Perfect Hero who is just unbeatable and the only way to beat him is to cheat. IDK, I learned after watching many many many Japanese Movies that they have a completely different mindset when it comes to Movies, literally some of their Movies (Horror/Suspense) they go out of their way to make sure that "The Bad Guy Wins" this premise is something Western Audiences as a whole don't really like, we don't like seeing the unstoppable Bad Guy and no way to beat it.
This Movie (FF: Spirits Within) was part Adventure, part Horror but all Japanese and if you don't understand how their shit works then yeah maybe you hate this Movie. I do know many many ppl don't like it but personally I don't understand why? I mean I hated Avatar and ppl were jizzing over that Movie and even before the whatever, I was like uh this Movie kinda sucks guys and everyone told me I was a hater and now ppl say it's the most overrated Movie ever. I DID own this Movie but I don't anymore. It was really super super Japanese tbh but idk I guess it had character or something that really I liked. Well shit, I guess i'm the only prick alive that actually liked this Movie lol. There were no YT playthroughs (since YT didn't exist) or access to non-pixelated trailers that a mass, world-wide audience could view, on their glitchy af RealPlayer.
#REDDIT FINAL FANTASY SPIRITS WITHIN PS2#
I get the point of saying the PS2 tech looked pretty good in July 2001, but almost no one outside of Japan could even make that comparison (even though it's not a fair one), because no one outside of Japan could see the game outside of screenshots. Here’s a still image from a cutscene in Final Fantasy X, which was released in mid-July, 2001, only a couple of weeks after the movie…įinal Fantasy X didn't come out in North America until Dec 2001, Europe in 2002. Of course it wasn't, but people bought the hype and ignored the Dreamcast, even though it had a ton of great and great looking games its first year too. Yes, and on top of that, the hype leading into the launch of the PS2 was that it would be capable of rending real-time photorealistic CGI graphics on par with TSW. The film's graphics absolutely were state of the art at the time, and this weird notion that audiences at the time thought they were just slightly improved PS2 graphics is some nonsense revisionist history
