Entertainment Review Vol. 1 A Video game for Playstation uFinal Fantasy [v Produced by Square Corporation This is the most famous and well sold Role Playing game in Japan. But I wonder it. It is true that the CG is so beautiful. But it doesn't mean that the
game is nice. We can't play the CG movie, just see it. The story focuses on a romance between the hero and the heroine. The characters are not attractive to me. The hero is quite dark and yielding
depression. He doesn't believe anyone and likes to be alone. He meets
some fellows to do the mission and finds he loves a heroin who becomes
one of his fellows. The CG design itself is really good, however the direction of the movie is cheesy. It doesn't have any originality. Actually it is the copy of Hollywood movies. Since the CG creators doesn't have the sense of cinema direction, the character's feeling in the movie doesn't come to me. If the creators say "We go beyond the game. It is not just a game. It's almost a film," they don't understand they have to have a sense of film direction. I want them to study film making. I like one of the CG movie in the ending. The critical issue of creation of this game is lack of a brilliant director.
Usually the well experienced CG designer or programmer becomes a director
of the game. It is good if they direct only the process of making a game.
But in making a CG movie and writing a story, the really good director
or script write,r who has a sense of cinema making, is needed. |
