I'd rather have an Anime series instead. Live-action is well..... not ideal.

Keanu Reeves as derplander?

i think David Giuntoli would be a good derplander.

anime series wouldn't do well, Have you ever heard of an anime series being the biggest thing on tv? live action has the potential to attract more viewers.

Honestly... I would have liked to have seen a series that told the story of 1.0 up to the current. I mean, I get that we know that story, but it would still be cool to see it play out live and for those not into gaming or ffxiv specifically, it would be a way for them to experience the stories we have over the past several years. Assuming this new story is well written and acted, I can imagine it being quite good though.

Thinking more on it, I really hope it falls through because the live action Japanese show only worked because it was a family drama about playing FFXIV. It wasn't the actual game story/based on the game world itself... The only way that will work is with an anime series. Unless they completely tone down the magical side of the world, which would make the whole show pointless, I can't see them doing it justice.

Why live action...
Live action never ends well for video games

It's only been "optioned" technically, this might not even happen. Hopefully it doesn't.

This is just Hollywood doing it's thing, seeing something popular that has a lot of revenue behind it; optioning it to see if anyone will get behind the project and so on.

I will say that; i don't see anyone realistically getting onboard with this producer/director-wise; because all someone has to do is see or hear the acronym: "MMORPG" or the sentence: "It's based off a online game"- and no one will financially back it if they know any better or even remotely know anything about the previous project based off a MMORPG, which did not make a profit based on world-wide ticket-sales, and didn't even break even for it's budget.

EDIT: From here on out i'd probably follow Fandom entertainment or Screen Junkies News, they will have likely already heard about this and will probably follow this to see if it realistically goes anywhere.
