Which one would be best?

Could be live action or animated.

In FF7's case, I guess it'd be ANOTHER movie, or a new show.

Second edit: Err...I guess 15 also had a movie as a prequel lead in to the game too. But I'm mainly talking about the main story of the games.

Having not played most of them, FF16 would translate almost 1:1 into a show.

Main game/plot stuff Id love to see live action. But the Big Boss battles you'd need animated to capture the epic moments of them

That was absolutely beautiful. I feel compelled to also share another Final Fantasy performance that has an emotional impact.

I kinda feel like FF9 would work best in such a format.

Though personally I'd be keener on FFX.

there was going to be a 14 show. It was going to be live action too, for some reason. Then they gave up on it. I think they decided it would be too expensive. It should just be an anime

There was a XIV show. But it's about the players, and the game. Not about the world of Hydaelyn.

Back when Lord of The Rings came out, I had fantasized of an FFVI movie in two-parts, each one with a runtime rivaling the LoTR movies so you could take time to establish as much of the story as you could, and be as accurate as possible, even including the entire playable party. The first movie being called War of the Magi: World of Balance, and the second being War of The Magi: World of Ruin.

But nowadays, I think a TV show would be better since it would more easily allow for more story and being more accurate. Except in this case, I'd have it two seasons instead, with season 1 being the World of Balance, and its final episode ending with the world being destroyed, and the very final shot being a recreation of the scene from the game. A shot of the planet from space, watching in silence as an entire continent gets torn apart in fire. Then season 2 would of course start with Celes waking up in Cid's cabin on the deserted island.

My only other candidate would be Final Fantasy VII, but only if we can stick to the original story and not do the weird-ass stuff Remake did. _

There was also a planned 14 show set in the world of the game. Not about the players. But set as if its not an mmo but a real world. But it never got out of the planning stages. It was real. It just got canceled before they produced it

I think 13 would work well as a TV show. Take the time to actually flesh out the lives of the main cast before shit hits the fan. And the sequels could give them material for more seasons if it's popular.

i like the FFT Game of Thrones style idea, but it could work just as well with FF6 imo. the magicpunk vibe might be pretty refreshing too instead of straight fantasy. it would be a multi-POV ensemble character piece with the magicpunk backdrop. and 2 or 3 or however many seasons in, the big twist that the world gets fucking destroyed by Kefka would be a trip for audiences to see. it would almost certainly be billed as a "new Red Wedding".

I would love to see a modern adaptation of FF6. As much as I love FF6, story-wise it's much more about the characters than it is any having any real plot to it. The plot events of FF6 are very straightforward and shallow. There's lots of rich character development and personality to the game, but not much of a narrative. Maybe an adaptation could add a little depth to it.

FF7 Remake would adapt super well into a live action remake. It'd be crazy expensive but I could see it easily grabbing general audiences. A lot of the Avalanche stuff in remake would kinda just be pretty standard blockbuster movie stuff.

9 would be good if it was Disney.

Now live action for 8 there is only one choice for Rinoa. A decade ago Camille Belle was pretty much rinoas doppelganger. Theres a meme out there pointing this out

I'm not sure they'd risk spending the budget they'd need on anything other than 7, it's the only thing that's popular/mainstream enough to ensure people will actually watch it.

Other games could pull off an adaption well and probably even better (16) but they don't come with that built-in and still accumulating decades-long fanbase.

I feel like that one being in space would make it easier. Titan would be tougher, I think.

Bro the FF7 Remake Trilogy has so many cutscenes its basically a movie/TV show already. Hell the final chapter of Rebirth is mostly cutscenes and it takes like over an hour lol >_> (for just the cutscenes)

The production of the Witcher show might've been able to pull off a decent FF14 show. Not the writers anyway, but whoever was in charge of the sets and costumes, making everything look dirty and medieval -- they'd do a good job replicating how awful parts of Eorzea look at the start of ARR.

All the first 6 games would be pretty easy as Netflix series, though, since there's not too much story going on in them anyway. Perfect for their 8-episode per season format.

XV would lend itself well. Problem with the game was it was just one piece of a multimedia experience.

Taking a show which adapts the game, DLC, movie, anime specials, and the novel would actually make for a pretty good show.

There was an anime called Final Fantasy Unlimited. I don't remember ever hearing much about it, so I doubt it was very good.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/efff703f.jpg

But basing on the games...

I think 5 would work best for a serialized episodic shenanigans show.

9 or 10, probably more 10, would work well for a plot-focused series.

Focusing on the core events of 6 probably lends itself best to a movie or movie duology, since it's more compact for major plot points.

15 or 8 probably the easiest live action purely because the outfits aren't insane.

FFU got cancelled halfway through or something. The rest of the story was told over a drama CD IIRC
