Who thinks that there sholuld be a movie similar to FFVII: Advent Children, but for Final Fantasy VIII? Also your opinions would be good.

wat would it b about though

maeby it'll be good maeby the story line will be galbadia agaisnt balam and then a new socerres appear XD like the one who gave the power to ultimecia XD it's funny isn't it?

Maybe. I wouldn't mind watching it cause the characters and places are developed very well.

However, I'm thinking Square should either remake the games, or just stop making sequels.

The game is already a movie practically, as is IX and X

The only difference would be taking out the gameplay and extending/adding-in/connecting the fmv's

Yes, I was thinking something similar to the game, because most of the questions were answered in FFVIII, whereas FFVII didn't.


The only difference would be taking out the gameplay and extending/adding-in/connecting the fmv's

This would be one of the most probable outcomes.

yes, i think a HUGE ending battle between galbadia and balam would be excelent.

They could make the same story movie or remake it for ps2 but this time they should add voises not just plain script:)

maby, it would improve it a bit....

NO! NO! NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!! this would be too far i only kinda liked eight and if square keeps going with the sequel movie thing, they might ruin something, so i say NO!!!!

I voted no. That would ruin FF8. It had a resolution, no need to drag it out.

Or maybe they should make another game to it, not like a sequel or anything. Maybe like FFVII:The War Times, in which all the Gardens are at war for some reason, or FFVIII:Orphans, in which you play through Squall's childhood up to his beginnings at Balamb Garden.

Hey, good idea. A lot of people want to see a war between gardens, so it should be in the future at some time, after Squall and co. have long gone.

maybe it will be in the near future but squall and his traveling circus will have changed appearance and attitudes due to the numerous battles leading up to this war. anyhow, A movie, no FFVIII had a definite ending, i don't think Square would ruin that.

No, I wouldn't like that at all. Everything was resolved at the ending of VIII- there's no need for a sequel.

It would be cool if Square released some awesome cg art of some of the characters though, just for fun. ^^

hell yeah they should make a ffiii movie

what i'm sayin is they need another game about it something that has nothing to do with the ending. that'd be cool. could you imagine Squall with a ponytail, in army fatigues on the frontline of a battle between Balamb and Galbadia. Zell gets more tattoos, Irvine would be the Sniper, Rinoa...well she's the secret weapon. wow just think about it.

What I'm saying is that the story of FFVIII was already beautifully told, and beautifully concluded. A new story might be cool, but it'd mess with something that was already good.

There's always fanfiction if you really need an FFVIII fix.

true but come on, you cant beat the magical goodness of a game. a movie though that wouldn't be good, it would ruin the game unless it was something that had changed drastically.

Final Fantasy 8 was a love story, and when you drag a love story too far out, it drowns. They kissed. They defeated Ultimecia. And Seifer, Fuijin, and Reijin are back together, going at their natural habits once again. There's just no point in making a sequel. The graphics and the music bring it to life, and if you ask me, I liked the graphics they used for it and glad they didn't give them voices.

Yes.

no, we never saw timber get liberated. Maby there could be a big battle over that.

Yeah! Does anyone know of some really good fan fiction? Put your links on your reply.

i think that it would be cool to see a sequel. maybe like the origans of ultimica. cause she just kinda pops out of nowere in the game. it is just like yea i got posesedby this lady and u should go kill her in the time compression. u never learn much about her. so it would be cool to see were she came from.

like i sed sequel, no way. but something totally out of left field like some war story from FFVIII, or the story of their childhoods (especially Rinoa's) would be nice. you know like another part to the game or sumthin like that.

Not true. From memory doesn't Edea became a sorceress originally as a child. That's why Ultimecia gives her power to Edea once you kill her at the end. She does that because sorceresses don't like spreading their power too thin.

Anyway, my point was that if sorceresses didn't age, then Edea would still be a child. But I could be wrong.

well maybe they just age very very very very very very slowly so it could be true. casue she looks way to young for cid ( that perver) or she is just a lot younger that him but who knows.

I also think that a sequel movie would mess the entire storyline up.
However, if it's a FFVIII movie they want, then what about a prequel chronicling the adventures of Laguna?
That'd be cool...

i dont know, didn't we pretty much find out everything we wanted to know about Laguna in the game? what else (interesting) could there be to find out?

Id like continuing storie's of Squall and Rinoa!

it would be a great story...

I actually found one on the internet once, and it was in Japan (of course! cuz USA never gets anything cool! ;) ) then my computer messed up and I lost the site! It would have been so awesome cuz it had Ebglish sub titles so it would have been cool......... :(

So you mean that someone created a "VIII/2" movie?

i don't think they should make a movie but if they did, i wouldn't hesitate to watch it. maybe it would be about the beginning of all sorceresses. or about the future and how Rinoa's life turned out with her sorceress powers.

Yeah, and after they make a sequel/movie to FFVIII they should make one for FF(I), FFII(j), FFIII(j), FFIV, FFV, FFVI, and FFIX!

I think an FF VIII movie would be really cool and entertaining. If they extended from the beginning to the end, including backgorunds of the characters and what happens after the game, it would make the story more interesting so its not like playing the game over again. Even if they didn't it would still be really neat.

o my, that would be alot of sequels. but seriously, a movie for this game is not needed, everything was resolved at the end and we know the end of the game. and how everything turns out and we don't need more, they shouldn't ruin a good thing.

*puts on a nagging voice*
Yeah... But still...
*sob*

hey, you brought up the topic dont get mad if i shoot it to hell.

It would be interesting and cool, but I don't think it's gonna happen... Besides, if they did make one, that would be like a repeat of the game. Still, if it came out, I'd definately buy it. A final fantasy fanatic, I am... ^_^

aren't we all ff fanatics, its a good thing. anyway, "FFVIII:The Movie" no way in hell, *grabs rifle and rains death on title* not as many people were into VIII as VII, it probly would sell, but the hype wouldn't be like it is for AC.

Agreed.

maybe they could make a movie like of the game of the story but i voted no cause if they keep making movies it might stop them making games

like i sed before, i wood buy it and so wood alot of other people, especially if they kept details underwraps, but not as many people wood go after it as they are AC.

Yes they definately should make a FFVIII movie.

But not a sequel - nor a prequel for that matter.

Just a film based on the game.

It would boost the ratings of FFVIII, and people would find out how good the FFVIII storyline really is.

We'd need decent actors though.

they might also need to change a few things like the whole just passing out and dreaming of laguna, maybe some of the teens of that era would have a substance abuse problem that causes hallucinations, and Squall and crew wood be just such teens.

Uh...Okay...

If the movie was on the game's storyline, then they would have to add a bit more substance into it, even putting in some subtle hints about Rinoa being Ultimecia in the future (if that's true).
If they added some scenes that we haven't seen before in the game into the movie, then that would put it's popularity up tenfold at least.

ok i still dont agree about rinoa being ultimecia in the future, i mean where did she pick up that funky accent? and why wood she hate Seed so much? it makes no sense.

Mmm, okay, we already have at least one thread, maybe more, about the whole Ultimecia/Rinoa thing, so let's stick with the movie talk here. And preferably not a continuing argument between those who have already posted a bunch of times.

I think FFVIIII movie sequal would be a great idea! I'd like to see a Rinoa/Squall wedding!

*begins brainstorming for FFVIII movie* ok, Rinoa and Squall wedding, good idea, but...Where's the conflict? movies need conflict of some kind.

A conflict, okay; maybee a new sorceress is born from Ultemecia and is out for revenge and plans to carry out her mothers goals. In the begining Rinoa and Squall plan their wedding, but get married at the end so everything was all over with.

I just thought of something, you know how final fantasy games have more than one conflict that lead up to a major conflict? well to fit a movie they need to have just one that all the characters are tied together by. dam, a movie for VIII might have to omit alot of stuff.

Okay, how about this. There are still a bunch of other sorceresses around the world who live in secrecy. Then one of the sorceresses go crazy and start killing the other sorceresses in order to gain their powers. So in essence she is trying to become a super sorceress. Anyway, she gets to Rinoa and then they go with a flat out battle. Then all it needs is a couple of subplots and we're set.
