this film was my first “video game movies have fuck all to do with the games” experience. I remember my friend and i watched it when we were in elementary school and were like "tf did this have to do with final fantasy? lol

My reaction too. I was like 12 and had Cloud on my brain and that’s what I wanted to see in a Final Fantasy movie.
They could have played it safe and did a movie adaptation of 1 too, the warriors of light and restoring the crystals. They took a major risk on this film and sadly it bombed.
I think I had player VIII at the time, but yeah. I was expecting a sword wielding protagonist, a love interest, lovable goofy friend, a bunch of cool summons. It was like a pretty neat scifi movie, but they definitely shouldn’t have used the FF branding
That’s basically every installment in the Final Fantasy series, though. By making no goddamned sense in the context of the broader series, it actually fits in. FF is goofy like that.
I kind of went through this while playing FF3US after playing FF2US. “Oh hey, it’s a guy named Cid! Wait, why doesn’t he have a bushy beard and a big-ass hammer? And why is he wearing a Devo suit?” Unrelated, but SNES Mode 7 scaler chocobo riding was hilarious.

Eh but up to that point there was at least some common elements that the film didn’t have.
