Sony Announces Live-Action Final Fantasy XIV TV Series

*Makes the most anime style MMO*

*Turns it into a live action series*

For all those saying that 'live action' is a bigger audience... maybe, but it's first off the wrong audience, and secondly.

Remember WoW? The biggest Western MMO for a decade and a half? Remember their live action movie? Yeah, neither does anyone, including Blizzard. Live action shows/movies consistently suck when it comes to video games.

I'd argue they suck because too many times people don't stay true to the franchise they often change things to appeal to a broader audience and end up alienating the people they should be targeting. The Warcraft movie likely would of been much better had we not have to suffer cringefests and " alternate universe lore "

Had they stuck to the proper lore it would of been a more grim movie, the humans would of been slaughtered and their city would of been burned, there wouldn't of been any cheesy crap with Garona and Lothar or that ridiculous LOTR fellowship style gathering at the end.

Not if it's more moe blob trash.

to be frank i cant imagine FF14 anime in moe blob trash. aside from alpi and his sis, the majority of the cast just not suited for that kind of design. (i dont want to see raubhan in moe blob lol)

the best i can think of that close to being moe blob is probably chibi style like isekai quartet.

But now that XIV's gotten an isekai ad campaign(sans truck-kun, train-chan, etc), when does it appear in season 2?

Sure it does... Super Mario... err Double Dragon uhm.... wait wait ... Dead or Alive... Mortal Kombat! Fuuuuuu... Street fighter No no no...In the name of the King?

You're right... dang.


*Or do Spirits Within part deaux.*

TSW was and is a classic that was ahead of its time and we shall brook no heresy in the House That Sakaguchi Built.

The choice to go live action made me groan until I remembered how long Game of Thrones lasted. Honestly have no idea who the 5 pm shadowlander should be played by.

Keanu Reeves as derplander?

Keanu would make a better Cid

[Seraphor]

Raubahn as Terry Crews ❤

Would have to rename the character to Terry Aldynn.

I would be exited if it was an anime but if it's live action I'm very skeptic. I hope they'll keep non human characters and magic to a minimum because those always look goofy with real actors.
