Yoshinori Kitase, the original director of Final Fantasy 7, expressed his enthusiasm for the idea of a movie adaptation, stating that he would “love” to see it happen. This is exciting news for fans of Final Fantasy 7, especially given the mixed history the franchise has had with film adaptations.
Many enthusiasts regard Final Fantasy 7 as one of the finest entries in the JRPG series. Its characters, narrative, and unforgettable scenarios have achieved legendary status in pop culture, and its allure has endured through the years. The 2020 remake of Final Fantasy 7 appealed to both longtime fans and a new generation of players. Although the franchise’s fame has reached the film industry, the Final Fantasy movies haven’t quite matched the success of the games. Still, the original director of FF7 is open to the idea of adapting the game for the big screen.
Speaking with Danny Peña on his YouTube channel, Yoshinori Kitase mentioned that there are no current plans for a film adaptation of the iconic Final Fantasy 7. While this might sound like a letdown, Kitase highlighted that many Hollywood filmmakers and actors are fans of the game and appreciate its legacy. He also indicated that there are various creators eager to explore the Final Fantasy 7 universe, which could lead to the Avalanche group making an appearance in a future movie.
Original Final Fantasy 7 Director Would ‘Love’ a Movie Adaptation
Besides filmmakers who are keen on the beloved JRPG franchise, Yoshinori Kitase has expressed his enthusiasm for the possibility of a movie based on the game, stating that he would be thrilled about it. Kitase mentioned that this could lead to either a film adaptation or perhaps “some kind of visual piece.” While nothing has been officially announced, it’s encouraging to see both the original director and Hollywood creators taking an interest in a Final Fantasy 7 film.
Indeed, the movie adaptations of Final Fantasy haven’t achieved the same acclaim as its games. The franchise’s first film attempt was a disappointment. Nevertheless, Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, released in 2005, is considered a strong film, featuring dynamic action and impressive visuals. Even with its rocky film history, fans are eager for a new adaptation that showcases Cloud and his allies’ struggles against Shinra.
