Final Fantasy XIV

Not the wrong forum I promise.

New live action series from Square Enix and Hivemind set in Eorzea with a story different from the game story though Cid is confirmed to have an appearance. Expected to end up at either Amazon or Netflix due to the relationship they both have with Hivemind though Amazon has a first look deal with them.

Hivemind is the developer for Netflix's The Witcher series. This could be good.

Season 1 climax

It'd be interesting if they made an FFXI based show. We have new adventurers starting out in each city, and they go out wondering around, doing quests and missions in each episode. Eventually all meeting in Jeuno. During each season, we can have filler episodes where they all go AF key hunting in Castle Z for 2-3 episodes, and as soon as a key drops, the person who got it has to journey home. Or a filler episode where they, and a bunch of others just wait around, wanting to enter Dynamis.

Each season can have a main story focus.
Season 1 is leveling up, job quests and city missions, and the introduction to Dynamis.
Season 2 is RotZ and Dynamis
Season 3 is CoP and Limbus
Season 4 is WotG and all the past stuff
Season 5 is Abyssea
Season 6 is SoA
Season 7 is RoV

then, along the way, have them encounter different NMs and HNMs

And that would make a horrible show, I'm sorry.

Could see it working as an anime or something like SAO, not so sure live action.

It was more of a joke... but ok

Press Release

Sony Pictures Television and Hivemind, the production company behind Amazon's The Expanse and Netflix's upcoming adaptation of The Witcher, announced today a new partnership with global video game powerhouse Square Enix to develop a first-of-its-kind, live-action adaptation of a beloved chapter from the blockbuster Final Fantasy series, which has sold more than 144 million units worldwide across three decades.

The live-action television series will tell an original story set in the fantastic world of Eorzea, based on Final Fantasy XIV, the franchise's blockbuster online role-playing game. Since it first debuted in 2013, the online title has continued to delight and amass millions of players around the world year over year and only further cemented Final Fantasy as one of the most storied and influential franchises in gaming history.

Inspired directly by the world and characters of the title's fourteenth installment, the project will embrace the bold and genre-bending sensibilities of the revered and long-running Final Fantasy series as it explores the struggle between magic and technology in a quest to bring peace to a land in conflict. Filled with iconic hallmarks of the title's revered mythology – magitek and beastmen, airships and chocobos – the forthcoming series will feature a mixture of new and familiar faces. Those will, notably, include the live-action debut of Cid – one of the games' central and most beloved characters who has appeared in almost every installment of the franchise to date.

"Final Fantasy XIV and Eorzea are the perfect gateway into Final Fantasy for longtime fans and newcomers alike," said Sony Pictures Television Co-President Chris Parnell. "This show is about embracing and embodying all of the elements that have made the mythos such an endlessly captivating phenomenon, and it's an immense honor to be bringing all of Eorzea's iconic characters, settings, and concepts – including fan-favorites like Cid and, of course, the chocobos – to life for a television audience."

"Television is the ideal medium to capture the extraordinary depth, sophisticated themes, and unparalleled imagination of Final Fantasy and its multitude of unique and fully realized characters," said Jason Brown, Hivemind Co-Founder and Co-President. "We are working tirelessly to bring together artists from around the world who are united in honoring the extraordinary legacy of this franchise and its millions of fans around the world."

Final Fantasy's multibillion-dollar legacy is one of the most influential pieces of global pop culture of the past 30 years with a footprint that now encompasses all major home and handheld consoles, as well as toys, card games, manga, soundtracks, concerts and live events on three continents. The upcoming television adaptation represents a momentous new milestone for the franchise and will mark the first time a Final Fantasy world – and its many beloved inhabitants – will be realized in live action.

Jason F. Brown, Sean Daniel, and Dinesh Shamdasani of Hivemind will serve as Executive Producers on the series. Ben Lustig and Jake Thornton (Winter's Knight, The Wells Initiative) have been commissioned to write for the series and will also serve as Executive Producers.
