Final fantasy XI the movie

Who would like to see a crystal wars movie?
like a theatrical. centering around the nations and the things going on durning campaingn? personaly id love to see some of the semi notorious NPC's fighting Zeid in his prime shantotto ect. anyone else

Video games rarely do well when made into movies.. and if they do well its not because of storyline

look at resident evil.. it has a horrible storyline.. but people don't go for that..

they just like the explosions and fight scenes.. and who can hate on smashing zombies >:U

Well people expect too much from a movie based upon a game. I thought Spirits Within was a decent movie. It wasn't like OMG, but it wasn't like...Gigli or something bad like that either. I'm down to watch a FFXI based movie.

FFXI Online The Movie The Game is what I would be worried about, lol.

SE doesn't need another movie, then they'll have to add another letter to their abriviation afterward.

I quite enjoyed FF: Spirits within too. It would've been better though and probably would've been more successful if it didn't have Final Fantasy in the title but maybe a different title by Square since most people expected more out of it to relate more to the Final Fantasy worlds.

The movie had a few tiny things FF related like the mention of Gaia and meteor I think and a character named Sid and maybe a few other things I missed, but the movie was too Sci-Fi-like and FF is more fantasy-like.

FF7: Advent Children did a lot better though and I wouldn't mind there being a FFXI theatrical release but I think I would actually much prefer to see other FF games made into a movie before FFXI. I think SE would probably profit best with keeping FF as games though since making a movie for FF is a bit risky.

I'd pay for it.

Square Enix has proved themselves a lot better at making video games than movies, so i'm not so sure if this is a good idea lol

<3 Advent Children.

Spirits Within not so much.
