Budget constraints such as, the dragon(s), and the final battle, costumes, etc.

An FFXIV live action series would have to have great casting, and like I said a massive budget. There would be no way to bring some of the fantasy creatures, and the like alive without it. I do not see it pulling it off. Things like player races would look ridiculous as well, unless they showed primarily Hyur. Roe, lalafell, etc. would look awkward at best on screen. That is unless they altered these race's designs for the screen. Disney Star Wars works with a multitude of races, but Disney is also Disney.

Show respect, catgirl.

Ugh, I hated the witcher games - lackuster combat and boring plot. Devil may cry is loads better in every way.- And I don't think live action is the way to go for FF... animation or cancel the freaking project. I'm sick to death of productions thinking live action is the thing to do for anime like games. -stares at sonic. I don't care if it's so called fixed... his design is still fucking ugly as hell.-

Oh god. That show is why I side eye every TV adaptation that I see announced. At least low expectations mean less disappointment in the end, haha

Didn't they say the story was going to be centered around Cid before he left Garlemald? If so, that would remove the need for heavy character CGI. The other races aren't going to be found in the heart of the Empire.

While I like Cid, I am not really interested in knowing/seeing more of his backstory as it's covered well enough in the game. I'd rather see a TV/movie adaptation of 1.0's main story.
