Cast your FFXIV movie

With the fan fest just a few hours away FFXIV is always on my mind. Now as I was out running I started thinking about who would play if a movie version were ever made.

It's a shame Christopher Lee died. He would have made a perfect Archbishop.

Let's see the others! Hmmm.

Peter Dinklage as Lord Lolorito

Emilia Clarke as Yda/Lyse

Judi Dench as Merlwyb

Jason Momoa as Raubahn

Maggie Smith as Matoya (pretty please)

Johnny Depp or Kevin Bacon as Solus

Jason Isaacs as Varis

The Rock as Hildibrand

Tao Okamoto as Yugiri

Adam Driver as the Warrior of Light

Really no idea for the rest. Anybody willing to help me out was we wait for the last 15 hours to pass?

Well he could make a good Raubahn, but he does do more and more commedic roles lately. And we don't have many buff commedians.

Well I would totally be un board for a none Hyur WoL. What can I say, I really like his acting. He would make a pretty good Dark Knight.

How about not making movies based on games?

Because they always end up so well...

And also, Square making movies, THAT ended really well.

You mean that one try? yeah that sucked, but mostly because it did its best not to be a Final Fantasy movie.

Also, you don't have to take everything super seriously. Especially not on a gaming forum. Just pretend the question is:" Which actor resembles one of the FFXIV characters?" Better now?

I don't think the WoL should be in any official movie, as every player have their own idea about who the WoL is and which job they use. Otherwise I think this is a great idea! One could do some side-characters, and do e.g. a sort of anthology movie, with some combination of these for example, jumping back and forth in time:

- The escape of Yugiri and the refugees from Doma
- Papalymo and Yda/Lyse (during/after ARR)
- A previous Calamity (e.g. The War of the Magi with the fall of Mhach/Amdapor?) (with maybe a WoL/Echo user before our time)
- The Warriors of Darkness
- The New World
- Sharlayan (with Matoya)
- etc.

Plenty of materia/lore to make movie of that's not in the MSQ :)

I would totally behind these for an actual movie. My favorite would be the Meracidian conquest. But that would ruin the fun of casting all the people we know.

Oh and maybe a look at unseen areas. Nangxia perhaps. Or the rest of Hingashi.

So how would it become an FFxIV movie if without the WoL? Even trailers for expansions require the Deplander let alone a whole movie.

For the roles, I agree with Maggie Smith for Matoya... Judi Dench would be ok for Merlwyb if not for the imposing height of that character....maybe Hugh Jackman for Raubahn... I’m still thinking for a Minfilia....

Problem is, HJ doesn't really look like Raubahn. Not even sure Momoa would be accepted cause he isn't black enough. Yeah, Minfilia is a tough one. Any other actresses who can pull of hot but useless beside Clarke?
It is true that Dench isn't really a she hulk, but she has the look nailed. She's a tough old lady.

Natalie Portman could make a good Minfilia, I mean she played that hot but useless Queen Amadala I think in Star Wars. As for Rauhbahn, maybe Vin Diesel or for the giggles, Terry Crews...

Who wasn't useless in the prequels?

Well I thought she was pretty useless, but in the end effected things in a greater way unimaginable just like Minfilia. Anyway I just thought they had similarities in terms of characters, hence the actress...

I can't think of any actresses that can pull off Minfillia. They'd honestly probably have to find some 20-something-ish instagram model from Norway. I think Clark would be more suited to play Kan-E-Senna, or even Nanamo if shrunk down digitally.

Really? I was thinking Ron Pearlman.

Agreed on Maggie Smith for Matoya being perfect. Hmm... Maybe Judi Gold for Merlwyb? She's tall enough. Minfillia is tough yeah, but maybe Kristen Bell? I'd suggest Andy Serkis playing most of the beast tribe characters, and Ron Perlman as Godbert. Ellen Page could play Krile. Not sure who should play Alphinaud and Alisaie though.

I'd watch a short-movie with Khloe Aliapoh telling (over-exaggerated) stories of adventurers to other people as well. As for 'Derplander', the same model is used for the Warrior of Darkness, so I don't know what is canon appearance for him. There's a lot of other interesting characters making up the game too, and there have been several WoLs and Echo-users up through the ages (not just us).

Ron Perlman would be perfect as Godbert Manderville :) Maybe you switched Hildibrand Manderville and Godbert Manderville around. I'd suggest Will Arnett for Hildibrand maybe? They have the same forehead and hairstyle as well as being a comedian actor.

Manamoppet, I'll tell you who would be perfect as Ron Perlman's son (and also a great comic actor)... Will Ferrell. Just try to tell me there's not a credible family resemblance, there!

Also, I think I'd have to cast a young Jan Smithers to play the most important character of all, the main character, the Warrior of Light, Hjordis Schreck.
