An update. But, even if The Witcher is nice, I think it should be an animation series.

Imagining an realistic Lalafel give me cringes.

Or a Daddy-Roe.

Wasn't there one already that was ridiculed for its name: Daddy of Light or something?

Yes. But that one was a drama in where they play FFXIV son and father. This one actually takes place in Eorzea.

DADDY OF LIGHT. :'D That trailer seemed so awkward, haha.
Yeah, I agree with OP in that it should be animation. Whether it's CGI like FFVII Advent Child or more of an anime style. Final Fantasy does actually (and old one) have at least one anime, so they could definitely go that route, imo.

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 agree here and there is context missing: The last high budget FF movie series that wasn't just some pandering tie-in to the mainline non-mmo titles was Spirits Within. So temper your expectations and your will I understand that.

However, this is also supposedly the same group who cast and did The Witcher show which I've heard is fantastic despite what mainstream review sites say and is super successful so they probably have a half-decent budget to begin with. I'm not saying we should be hyped but I am saying being cautiously optimistic is a very good thing to be right now given what we know.

EDIT: It might not even come out. This is just looking for a director.

Unless it has state of the art CGI, practical effects, costumes and make up it's gonna fail.
For it to succeed it will need a WoW movie lvl of production and budget.
It will look and feel awkward eitherwise.

The Witcher show managed to pull it succesfully because The Witcher is based on a realistic mediaeval world which is easier to repliacte than Eorzea which is wilder and way more fantastic.
