In Reply to: It's visually stunning as well; I added it to our DVD library when it was first released. posted by Audiophilander on November 28, 2001 at 22:33:51:
Final Fantasy was visually stunning and a technical marvel. But the characters' had zero personality . . none whatsoever. It got to the point where I didn't really care whether the main characters were going to make it or not.I'm looking forward to the day when we see something with the brilliant pseudo-realistic animation of Final Fantasy and the depth of personality of Toy Story II. Real actors are going to have some serious competition.
Follow Ups:
I think that we have a consensus about the biggest failing of Final Fantasy being the establishment of it's characters as people who we should care about. It's rather ironic that the animators succeeded in making the characters appear amazingly "real" while the personality aspect of their development received short shrift.Taken as a whole, Final Fantasy is well plotted, nicely paced and visually stunning, which goes a long way toward mitigating it's deficiencies. The bottom line is that I'm willing to grant the film's creators a bit of latitude in the personality establishment department while agreeing with you that the characters should've been more involving. Their oversight, at least in part, may explain Final Fantasy's less than stellar performance at the box-office.
The "Toy Story" analogy is a good one.
Cheers,
