Never seen the movie but honestly tempted to get it on Blu-Ray.

Thoughts?

It is not very good, and has nothing to do with the game series whatsoever

Yeah, it was basically a project where square was trying to create a virtual movie star. They tacked on the name Final Fantasy and made a character named Cid. It bombed and so that was the end of it.

But other than that, Mead's right. It has nothing to do with Final Fantasy.

I'd say if you can find it for $10 or less, then go for it. But paying anything more than that might leave you sorely disappointed.

Why do people say this like its in any way relevant to the series in general.


Not sure what you mean

The games dont have connections to each other. The movie not having anything to do with the games is meaningless.


Tell that to dumbass 13 year old me who went to the theater genuinely wondering if they were gonna be using phoenix downs on each other and waiting for a chocobo to show up

I'm one of those rare people that actually enjoyed it. Looking for a Region 4 version though, my copy is Region 2 and I can't watch it since my PS2 died (had DVD Region X for all 2 of my import movies).

Except the games all have common grounds. Chocobos, moogles, magic, espers/eidolons/phantom beasts, gilgamesh in a lot of cases, typically the crystals, and an overall fantasy theme.

The only thing Spirits Within had was Cid. It could have literally been called anything else and nobody would have ever made the connection to Final Fantasy.

If you called a Final Fantasy game (yes, to a degree even FF13 and 15) anything else people would say "hey, this is a lot like Final Fantasy!"

The point is, it didn't have to have any direct connection to any particular FF game. But it should have at least resembled Final Fantasy in some way.

I also enjoyed it. It's kinda slow paced, but not as bad as people say it is.

You can't watch it on PC?

My DVD is still the wrong region, and I don't want a download. I got all the extras on DVD, a two disc copy. I'd probably find a multi region DVD player easier, but would cost more money and take up space I don't have with all my consoles.

I meant more that there might be some program out there that lets you bypass the region thing on a PC.

I thought it was decent but definitely not a very good representation of Final Fantasy.

Has nothing to do with Final Fantasy, but its NAs attempt at trying to connect with Final Fantasy. Tons of great voice actors (Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi)

Very somber and a slow burner, but its enjoyable if you like that kind of stuff.

I remember seeing it in the theaters as a kid, in my hight of FF obsession. I was definitely let down because I expected Final Fantasy. Its not, but its still ok

This. I personally enjoyed it enough to watch it more than once, but it's definitely not final fantasy.

Ive never quite understood why people hated it so damn much, either. There's a lot of moves that are much, much worse and were reasonably successful...
