Would any video game make a good anime?

[HeartbreakerByZep]

I'd love to see Final Fantasy 6, 5, 4, or even 1 in anime form. I think it would work extremely well. Chrono Trigger also would probably work. Other than that I can't think of any.

Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals was based on FF5 last I heard.

And there was a Chrono Trigger short as well. Didn't do justice to the game at all though.

I actually have Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals It's suposed to be based on Final Fantasy V, but only loosely at best. It has basically none of the same characters, and an utterly different story. It's still fun to watch though.

I don't know about the Chrono Trigger short, but one time on one of my DBZ fansubs after the episodes they had a bunch of Chrono Trigger animations, the kind of thing that would be used in a PSX version of Chrono Trigger (wasn't there on made?) but the funnest thing about it was hearing the music again.

Lunar: Silver Star Story/Eternal Blue Complete. There were lots of anime scenes in there anyway. It'd be perfect. As a movie, not a series.

Oni.

'Nuff said.

damn right, it would be something like noir or najica, eccept with more action and a beter, darker story, would rock

Ninja Gaiden had an anime...

...which sucked ass.

I think most RPGs, since they tend to have a variable plot line or numerous endings, would not make very good animes because an anime story would only resemble one story out of the game.

What games are YOU playing? I know of virtually none that have multiple endings (Suikoden II does, though), and oh, two that have variable plot lines, which nobody lines (SaGa Frontier I and II).

Anyway.

I would second the idea of Lunar; it's got a great atmosphere that would probably translate well. And I'll throw in the Suikoden series, because I am a giant fan and thus have no objectivity, and because it has an interesting balance between the war plot and the personal stories of the people in it. Of course, in that case you'd be basing a series (it'd have to be a series, it's too long for a movie) off a game based off a book, soooo... you kind of may as well go back to the source. Heh.

Line line line, I meant which nobody likes. Sheesh.

Sakura Wars was a Sega Saturn game before an anime.

Quake III ...lol... i cant imagine

Unreal Tournament would work better.

I mean with all the tournament animes, and such?

UT could make an excellent anime...for marketing stuff *cough* Poakemon, Yu gi Oh, Angelic Layer, Zoids *cough* *Wheeze*



I wonder if Breakdown would make a good anime.....

It already has a friggin' incredible story, so why not?


Have any of you played Breakdown? NO!?

Go get this game right this minute!!
(I've played it more than Ninja Gaiden)

freeze_lord: For somebody with Faust as their avatar, I'm surprised you didn't mention Guilty Gear. The game actually has a story worth caring about (much unlike many other fighting games), and I think it could be converted fairly well to an anime.

SarahTheBoring: Hey, screw you. I like SaGa Frontier I & II, AND I like Unlimited SaGa.

Also, somebody should mention the Phantasy Star games.

Wait, I just did.
