Final Fantasy VIII is a big game fans who have fallen in love with world of soldiers vs sorceress. What you might know is that you are not alone as many in Hollywood seem to have a fondness for the game as well . Kitase in a recent interview speaks of those in Hollywood often asking to use the game as an Easter egg.
“I think it’s fair to say that Final Fantasy VIII had an impact on the future of the Final Fantasy series. Not necessarily mechanically – the gameplay of the Final Fantasy games changes with each entry – but certainly the realistic proportions and designs of characters set a visual direction for the series.
This is unrelated to development, but I also liked how Final Fantasy VIII appeared briefly in the movie Charlie’s Angels, starring Cameron Diaz. We often receive such Easter egg requests from Hollywood for Final Fantasy VIII – it seems to be a favorite amongst young filmmakers for some reason!“
Considering the love for it you would think we would have gotten a animated movie about that as well as VII. But oddly enough Kitase also voiced hi issues with the game. He want film quality and as such wanted the characters to be voiced. While he didn’t get that in the old game if the game ever gets remade (which I hope i see that happen). That will be a necessity as RPGS today mostly have voice overs. Especially Square Enix oness.
