Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums > Final Fantasy: Nerds in Paradise > Final Fantasy I > Origins, why opening fmv isn't Garland

[Blank]

it truly hurts my brain to know people ARGUE it's garland in the opening fmv. i can't hold it against those who see the horns and immediately think it is, which is innocent, but those who stand by it firmly just give me cancer

[Garland]

You have to admit, the character bouncing around in your sig looks a lot less like the guy in that CG than the guy walking away in my avatar.

[Blank]

he's not bouncing around, it's 9 different Warriors, 9 delegates from Coney Island. get with it

and B, i agree

i like the way they made the CG man look like the Amano art for the Warrior and not to look like the in-game-graphic Warrior. i think the Amano art carried alot more seriousness for the first FF since they single handedly made the game, if not the series, what it is

There were also some people who thought the menacing figure in the FFII FMV was Hilda and not the Emperor. Go figure.

*smacks forehead* Please be kidding. Somehow I don't see Hilda torching her own city.

Actually, yeah, I had it confused. People were mistaking the Emperor's appearance in the logo for Hilda. But that's still pretty bad.

Yes, but I think Garland's horn helmet is almost fully covering his face. You can clearly see the Light Warrior's face in that FMV if I remember correctly. As for the figure in the FFII FMV, I eventually figured out he was the Emperor, although I was confused for a while. I mean, he looked quite young and even feminine. I'd have thought the Emperor would look more menacing than that.
