How would you like to sh*t yourself?

I'm not kidding, either. This may not be the most appropriate post for this forum, but I think everybody should be able to see this. http://www.finalfantasy.com

This is the theatrical trailer to a new movie by Columbia Pictures and Squaresoft, LTD (the makers of Final Fantasy the video game for Playstation). It is an entirely 100% 3D generated movie, and I have to say, it looks better than real life. I am speachless, and I'm sure you will be, too. However, when you remember how to talk again, please respond to this regarding what you think.

There is a downloadable copy here. http://www.thegia.com/movies/ffmovie...iemedia13.html

Trust me on this one: you will be amazed, and those of you who aren't completely current on the marvels of today's 3D rendering techniques will very likely sh*t their pants. I for one plan on being there opening night.

Yeah...I almost sh*t myself when I saw the movie poster for Dungeons & Dragons the movie, and i don't mean this in a good way! ROFL! It's got Jeremy Irons in it...I don't know what he was thinking...wow I can't wait to see the scrubs in line for this blockbuster movie. I really can't believe someone thought it would be a good idea to make filth like D&D into a movie. This ones gonna flop harder than Tom Arnold on the olympic high dive.

The day when we'll see that rendered in real-time, like Quake 18. Yeah, I'll be a old man by then ...

WOW!!

I think that movie might be a Star Wars killer.

If Star Wars II is as bad as Phantom Menace, then I wouldn't doubt it.

At least the Final Fantasy movie decided not to include a Jar-Jar type character (I guess Moogle would be the Final Fantasy equivalent) with the key phrase "Me-suh gonna die?"

Yea its awesome. Lets hope they get everything eles right. Like the plot and have a diologue.

This is the first and probably only time that I will be able to post in the Highly Technical forum and not feel like a moron.

The trailer is smooth. Hopefully the movie will be, too. If there is a good story to go along with all of those eye-shattering graphics, then its going to rock.

I saw the FF trailer as well as the D&D trailer in the theatre last night and I almost fell out of my chair for both! The BG animation in FF is the best I have seen so far. Makes everything else look like crap. This is a definate go see when its out

P.S. D&D looks great to. I'll be in line

Yeah, I hope so. But me guess is that it's a least 20 years before we see that rendered in realtime on a normal desktop computer.

i saw the grinch last night and the FF preview played as well as the D&D(which ive seen before). Although i did almost sh1t my pants when i saw it, i was dissapointed by what i saw. The plot didnt seem like a final fantasy plot. It seemed more like a Heavy Metal plot if you ask me. Last night i was thinking about Final Fantasy(in a HUGE fan) in 3d and how the series has just gone to hell since theyve made it 3d. I havent played ff9, but it looks like a nice game. I was thinking about if Square made a "final fantasy classic" where it was classic 2d, but it would have 2d graphics that would make you sh1t yourself(on x-box mabee??). All the classic ff stuff could be done that couldnt be done in 3d(just play ff5 and youll see what i mean). Hell, i might even contact square for a suggestion and make a petition thing to see how many people would like it.
