[QUOTE="Sixchan, post: 590080, member: 9189"] In the case of Final Fantasy, I'm not sure it's such a good idea. It would be more likely to fit the mini-series style than a regular series. Final Fantasy isn't Episodic enough to make a series that is 1 per hour, but a mini-series with a few multi-hour episodes (sort of like how they did [i]Dune[/i] or [i]Nuremburg[/i]) might fit better. It could be a Multi-disc OVA. Something else that interests me is why developers seem to pick difficult games to make into films. Final Fantasy wasn't going to be easy because of the deep plots that are needed. They gave Mario Bros. [i]too much[/i] plot, and I liked the cartoon better. It really was based on the Mario games' storylines (since when was Bowser Koopa an evolved Dinosaur?) and had a better sound track. Come to think of it, it had better acting too. Same with Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, where they took a no plot game and gave it one (although in fairness Mortal Kombat wasn't [i]so[/i] bad). Now, if they had picked [i]Perfect Dark[/i] as a game to make into a movie, that wouldn't have been difficult at all. It's just a Bond movie set in the near-future with a female protagonist. And I think that would have been a good film. Even without swords. [/QUOTE]
