Cast your FFXIV movie

[manamoppet]

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.

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).
