Final Fantasy XIV TV Show

If it isn't animated, I don't have high hopes.

Oh god, that trailer...

I'm glad they didn't run that one for too long.

It would have to have a HUGE budget to even look semi decent, live action.

I wouldn't mind a retelling of 1.0. Though I would absolutely be opposed to them just rehashing the MSQ. That's a recipe for disaster given how it's structured.

I just can't see the character designs lending themselves well to live action at all. Either you severely compromise on the more fantastic races, or you need a lot of good CGI to make them work convincingly - and they still might end up in the uncanny valley, because realistic humans aren't supposed to have proportions like that, but stylised characters get more of a pass.

That sounds terrible.

Of course its terrible. Does this forum community EVER say one positive word about SE and their ventures? NEVER. God forbid you show some appreciation.

Frequently, yes. Appreciation also isn't owed outright, especially when it comes to things that have a dubious track record - for every show that respects the source material there's numerous others that take extreme liberties.

I can see this working as an anime, but IMHO not so much as a live-action show.

I totally forgot this was a thing. Unless this has a pretty big budget and some big names attached to it, i'm expecting Sword of Truth quality followed up by a cancellation after a negative response from everyone that isn't familiar with the game.
