A live-action Final Fantasy will pose a lot of challenges, but it also offers up a significant reward for both Sony and Square Enix. Setting the series within the online world of Eorzea could entice millions of new players to give the MMORPG a shot, while also cementing Final Fantasy as one of the most influential video game properties in the industry today. Given the relative freedom the production team has with character design, it could also be a show that attracts a lot of young talent looking to snag an iconic role.
