Ofc there were fricked up expectations what are you talking about. The games are either about medieval fantasy adventures, or scifi fantasy adventures with pretty anime boys using magic and ridiculous swords. The film does neither and is just pure sci-fi. I like the film, but it's incredible clear why people were immediately disappointed.
What even makes it Final Fantasy, if it doesn’t have any connection to the games in terms of its plot? >they have... TECHNOLOGY!! >but they also have (wait for it)... MAGIC!! >and they also... CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT!!!!
It really is. I was disappointed when it came out, thinking, "what the frick does this have to do with Final Fantasy?". I tried watching it periodically over the years, and it's still shit. It's just a fricking shit movie.
I read the novelization after having seen it. It expounds on the reason for the alien spirits. Aki ross was voiced by the ever delicious Ming.na wen. Conan did a bit where he replaced all the characters with puppets.
>It expounds on the reason for the alien spirits
This was not a real mystery after playing VII. It's obvious that the plot and gaia concepts has big meaning to the director guy. He just plain failed at delivering it in a way that made people give a frick. It was too esoteric for normies while too grounded in hard sci fi for FF fans.
It isn't, it's just incredibly mediocre and forgettable so therefore FF fans didn't give a frick and normies didn't give a frick. I remember seeing it in theaters and it was one of the most yawn inducing theater experiences I'ver ever experienced.
>Square intended to make the character of Aki Ross into the world's first photorealistic computer-animated actress, with plans for appearances in multiple films in different roles.
Why did her career die
23 years too early. With entities like vtubers and the like what they had planned then is actually plausible now and has happened in its own niche media.
It’s good for what it was, the giant cannon in the sky was kino. The spirits were ok. Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames, and Peri Gilpin carried the whole fricking thing until their deaths though.
It actually is.
I think this movie's main flaw is fricking up expectations for fans and unknowns alike
There were no fricked up expectations. The Japanese understood Final Fantasy to be an anthology series, while the West just thought it was FF7.

It's not bad but also not really good. It's extremely mediocre.

I think the biggest problem was that fans were looking too hard for any and all connections for mega popular games at the time.
Not really their fault.
If it wasn't called Final Fantasy I would not have hated it.
The plot point of the planet being alive is surprising similar to avatar.
Oh, it's almost as if James Cameron is a thieving Black person.
Shall I also post pictures of flying islands from Final Fantasy?
Square had their opportunity to make it work on the big screen and didn't, and I don't even like Avatar.
gayer than fukken aids
CAN'T WHOOSH THE GOOCH

The lack of blitzball was rather disappointing
I never got that stupid mini-game.
>its a good movie, just not a good FF movie :DDDD

>tfw her model never got leaked from Square’s servers
Feels bad man
I came buckets to her when I was a teen. Buckets.
No, In Actuality It's a lot worse! We expected the power of the Crystal and High Fantasy drama! Instead we got gay ass climate change!
>Final Fantasy
>it's a science fiction remake of Ferngully
When Japs think they are some sort of auteur they bankrupt themselves

And I’m not acknowledging Alec Baldwin, Ming Na, or James Woods!
