Seems interesting. But one question, is it fine for me to watch the series without playing most of the FF Games? (Btw, I've played like one or two FF games so)

When cgi becomes cheap enough that will be the new style of anime. Studios slowly getting up there.

On topic I won't watch this cuz I don't like video games nor do I keep up with this but the eye candy is nice.

That CGI is making me sub-consciously ejaculate.

That is what you call unlimited budget. It took me a good 30 seconds to realise it was actually CGI and not a live-action.

I'll take a crack at the anime but I'm not playing the games, it has a shitty battle system. That CG movie is a pass for obvious reasons.

If you're basing that off Duscae, I'd tell you quickly to drop that belief ASAP.

It's outdated.

The finalised version of the combat system will be released today(?) in a new, free demo.

This comment isn't really relevant with the CGi movie trailer above lol.

I really wish SE would make more of these FFVII-Advent-Children quality movies but I bet that costs them quite a lot of money. And Japanese doesn't really like CGi even if it's a well-made one.:s

What are you talking about? Studios are using CG because it was always MUCH CHEAPER than standard animation. If they all would go for full CG, the whole anime scene will be dead.
Dub = fake crap. Always.

If that PV is representative of what the CG will be like in the movie, then I'll definitely watch it as it looks absolutely amazing.

EDIT: Did I see Sean Bean in the English casting for the movie? Holy shit, that just makes it even better.

Not a FF fan, but damn that CGI is nice. Why isnt this kind of CGI used more often and why do companies stick to the shitty stuff like Ajin/Kingdom? Thinking this might take over CGI anime in the future is giving me goosebumps.

The Anime was made to hype the game, nothing more. So basically if you don't have any interest in the game(which is obvious by your comment), then there's no reason to watch an ONA, that serves as a prequel to the game.

Yes. FF:Sausage is the first FF game in years I have absolutely no interest in. And while I could not care less about Square killing their own franchise, the amount of masculinity propaganda with ovas and the movie is still something I have every right to complain about.

It is not needed. Let the game speak for itself. Terra or Ceres never got a movie or an anime. Tifa got a romantic interest role in a movie and that's it. None of the female protagonists got the spotlight like that. The fact that this cast that is all male gets both is extremely telling and makes me even more disappointed in square and the direction FF Is heading towards.


The problem with FF13 trilogy was not that the cast had females in powerful roles. It was that the games were various degrees of bad. Sadly all square got from it is "let's add all the dudes!". Now we are getting an action-y most likely bad game that moves even further away from being an RPG, but hey it is full of dudes. And the public's reaction towards that is disappointing to say the least.

People so salty this got an all male cast, i'm just like deal with it.
FF games have always been different in some way, FFXV features an all male cast for once, who cares?
Its not yaoi or shonen ai either so I don't see the problem, anyway can't wait to watch it.
