Fan Cast: Final Fantasy XIII

BEWARE OF SOME SPOILERS!

Cocoon,is a city utopia in the sky. It's inhabitants believed their world was
a paradise Under the Sanctum's rule. Cocoon had long know the very definition
of peace and prosperity. Mankind was blessed by its protectors the benevolent
Fal'Cie, and believed that peaceful days would continue forever.

There peace was shattered with the discovery of one hostile Fal'Cie who
came from Pulse, (the feared and shunned Lowerworld). The moment that
this Fal'Cie awoke from it's slumber
peace on Cocoon came to an end.

Fal'Cie now scared, they cursed humans, turning them into magic-weilding servents.
These "outlaws" are now know as L'Cie. These L'Cie are choosen of the Fal'Cie.
L'Cie are branded with a mark, and feared by regular humans,
they also carry a harsh burden of either fufilling their Focus or
facing a fate much worse than death itself.

After thirteen days of fates intertwined, the battle began!


Now let me explain a little more in simpiler terms
about this cause I'm sure you are already confused.
I know I was too the first time I played the game.

Final Fantasy XIII takes place on Cocoon. Cocoon is a floating city in the sky.




and Pulse (or Grand Pulse).






The story of the fal'Cie (pronounced "fal see")
mechanical beings with godlike power created by
a being called the Maker. Each fal'Cie has crystals
residing inside them. People who are marked by the
fal'Cie are called l'Cie, and these l'Cie have a
focus to complete, or a goal. The fal'Cie wants
him or her to fulfill this "focus" within a certain
amount of time. l'Cie learn what their Focus
is by interpreting visions that are given to them.
L'Cie may also gain the ability to summon
an "Eidolon", monsters who fight alongside
the l'Cie, but well get into EIDOLON's later.

Now if an l'Cie dies before completing his
or her Focus or fails to tame their Eidolon,
or fails to complete Focus within a set period of time
he or she becomes a monster known as a Cie'th.
Now here is the best part,
If a l'Cie does complete his or her Focus,
the reward is not much better, you
are permanently transformed into a crystal.
For this reason, being chosen as a l'Cie is seen as a curse.



Here are the MAIN characters:

Lightning: Former sergeant of the Guardian Corps, Lightning sought the Pulse
fal'Cie, in order to ask it to save her sister Serah,
(whom the fal'Cie had turned into a l'Cie.) However, much to her
dismay, Lightning was turned into a l'Cie herself. Her l'Cie mark is
in the center of her chest (although it is never seen within the
game due to the fact it is upon her breasts). Lightning has long
pink hair and is 5'7" tall. Originally named Claire Farron, All
she wants to do is protect Serah, although this only caused tension
to rise between them. Lightning is very independent and determined,
but she is also shown to have a compassionate side.

Emma Stone as Lightning



Lightning can summon the Eidolon Odin to fight
by her side in battle, who
can assume a horse-like form that she can ride on.
While riding, Lightning dual wields Odin's detachable sword.



Snow Silliers: Prior to becoming an l'Cie, Snow is the head of Team Nora, a
resistance group fighting against the government of Cocoon.
and Lightning's sister Serah is Snow's fiancee has light blonde
hair under a black beanie. He uses his fists to take down
opponents, focusing on brute force compared to the fast and
agile Lightning. He is 6'5" tall.

Charlie Hunnam as Snow


Snow he has the power to summon the twin
Shiva Sister Eidolons, Nix and Stiria, who can
combine into a motorcycle form for Snow to ride
while toting a large gun. Unlike most grapplers,
Snow changes his runes on his coat rather than buying new gloves.



Oerba Dia Vanille: A mysterious, very upbeat young girl with bright red hair
made up in pigtails. She is about 5'4" tall.
Originally residing from Oerba Village located on Grand
Pulse (the Lower World). Vanille is among those being exiled
from Cocoon at the start of the game.
She has a childlike innocence and is shown to be very
compassionate, but at times she can also be very hard to
deal with. Vanille is not just a character you play as in
various chapters but also the game's narrator. She has been
an l'Cie for a long time.

Hayden Panettiere as Vanille



Vanille is one of two l'Cie given the Focus
to summon the Eidolon Ragnarok, and her l'Cie mark
is located on her upper left thigh. In battle,
Vanille excels at using magic based attacks from
a distance. Her Eidolon is Hecatoncheir,
a multiple-limbed, earth-elemental summon who can
transform into a bipedal mech armed with machine
guns that she can pilot.



Sazh Katzroy: A former airship pilot of the Military, He has a six-year-old son
named Dajh with whom he is very close. When Dajh inadvertently
became a l'Cie and was taken by Sanctum, saving him became Sazh's
main motivation. Sazh has a pet baby chocobo that lives inside
his afro. Sazh is described as having good judgment,
a gentle personality, and is sometimes the comedy relif in the
game.

Will Smith as Sazh


Sazh wields dual pistols. His strong point
is striking enemies from a distance. His l'Cie mark is
at the base of his neck. His Eidolon is Brynhildr,
a female fire-elemental knight who can transform into a race car.



Dajh Katztroy: Son of Sazh, six years old, his mother died when he was just
three. The baby Chocobo that rides around in Sazh's afro
actually belongs to Dajh, who bought it at a gift shop during
their travels. Dajh unexpectedly becomes an l'Cie,
and taken from his father.

Joshua Henry as Dajh (this was the ONLY photo I could find of Joshua Henry)




Hope Estheim: A fourteen-year-old boy with silvery-blonde hair and orange,
yellow, and green clothing. During the Purge, his mother offers
to help Snow and Team Nora fight off PSICOM soldiers. Sadly she
dies during the battle, and though Snow honors her final request
to protect her son, Hope nonetheless hates Snow in a grief-
induced rage for his connection to his mother's death.

Jimmy Bennet as Hope



His Eidolon is the holy-elemental summon Alexander,
which transforms into a fortress in Gestalt Mode,
and is able to blast enemies from afar with multiple cannons.

Haven't played the game, or any FF games for that matter, not a fan of turn based combat at all, but these actors all look the part and for the most part are good actors. I'm more of a Kingdom Hearts guy than a Final Fantasy one :)

I beat God of War 3 on Saturday. Played from about 5:30 PM to 12:30 AM straight LOL, but I was already a bit before halfway done. But Jesus Christ monkey balls, that has to be my favorite game of all time now. What a f*cling ending too. I didn't think they'd pull off a satisfactory capoff to the series, but damn them, they did. You played it yet?
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/23/2010, 7:44 PM
Tyler- I am sorry to say I don't own a PS3..I am a 360
fanboy at heart!..But I have heard nothing but
good things about GOW3!
FFXIII is less turn based that you think, but
it is still turned based every fight is in real
time..but you are still waiting for a bar to fill
up before you can strike!..Damn I forgot to add
trailer!



WHY IS EVERYTHING RESIZED!?..I wanted the pitures bigger!
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 3/23/2010, 7:55 PM
That sucks. I have both systems (nananananana hahahahahaha).

I've seen clips of the combat gameplay, and wasn't impressed. I like fast paced action, this just seemed too slow. That's why I hate turn based, I can never actually get into the fights, because you have to wait like an hour for your turn and all you do is usually press one button once to attack. That's part of the reason I prefer the Kingdom Hearts games, the action was real time and engaging, moreso the second one.

I still have to finish Mass Effect 2, huge BioWare and ME fanboy, but I just haven't played it that much. The last mission on the citadel in ME1 was totally epic, fighting sideways on the citadel walls and stuff. Awesome.
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/23/2010, 8:06 PM
Totally agree..MASS EFFECT IS EPIC!! on of the best
RPG's out there..besides FALLOUT 3..and FABLE 1, 2 and soon to be 3!..DAMN YOU FOR HAVING BOTH SYSTEMS!! LOL

This FF is more STRATAGY than anything else, cause you can fight a guy for hours and no drop his HP, you figure out what hurts him..then go out with an all out assult after you "stagger" him. It's hard to explain if you have not played it.
seanxvito
seanxvito - 3/23/2010, 9:11 PM
this is actually a really great cast...haven't finished the game yet myself but i'm working on it...two thumbs up
DogsOfWar
DogsOfWar - 3/23/2010, 9:38 PM
Nice article Petey!

I am not a gamer at all but this is a great article! Its well put together and full of info. I like pretty much all the actors you picked in general

I wouldn't mind seeing why you picked these guys though.
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/23/2010, 10:15 PM
seanxvito-THANKS!..ya it is a very long game, it took
me 80 hours to complete, I took my time and
made sure all my characters are leveled up
to the MAX! It is a TOUGH game, but I'm sure
I don't have to tell you.

Dogs- HAHA thanks man! the only reason I didn't put
why I picked the actors cause I thought the
article was LONG enough! LOL, I picked these
actors based on how the characters in the game
were.
for example LIGHTNING..just by her description
I wrote, right off the bat I thought of Emma Stone
in Zombieland..Emma played A bad ass chich with
a heart. that's how I came to the conclusion
that Emma would be Perfect for the LEAD role,
also she can carry a movie greatly..IMO!
THANKS AGAIN MAN!

nice cast btw
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/24/2010, 6:11 AM
Well, what can I say PETE? This is [frick]ing awesome!!!!! :D It really is a great cast bud - as you know, I'm not a huge fan of these games but this is a damn good quality cast and after reading all of the info about the story you've put up, I would most definitely go and see this movie! The actors look exactly like the characters as well which is just the icing on the cake - I hope you plan on doing some more casts in future as well!

I forgot that you're a 360 fanboy! Between that and the fact you dont like Supernatural, I should hate you, lol! ;) Seriously though man, I love my PS3 but both systems have good points over the other and in an ideal world I'd probably own both but I'm more than happy with just my PS3 (cough, PS3 is better, cough) Havent played God of War III yet but I cant wait until Friday - Prison Break: The Conspiracy is out!

Anyway, brilliant cast dude. What are the other few you've done? I'm sure that I probably missed them because I went a while where I only worked on my own casts and was so focused on that I didnt look at any others! Speaking of which, I better get back to work on my next one..! And LMAO at Jared Padalecki! He does look pretty damn perfect for that role though!

lc - 3/24/2010, 7:15 AM

peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/24/2010, 9:56 AM
yowsaman- Thanks! ya I also love all the FF games! I
played alot of them..but betten very few,
cause there so damn hard! LOL

JOSH- THANKS BUD! LOL this would be crazy awesome to
see live-action..but even if it was a full CGI
movie I would love to see those actors voice the
roles!
LOL, we should be arch nemesis! cause clearly
360 is better and supernatural is junk! LOL
just kidding!
the other cast I done are
Final Crisis part 1
Final Crisis part 2
Danger Girl
I'm sure they will be hard to find since I didn't
save them..but I am sure it's on this site
somewhere!

LC- THANKS HUN! I am sorry I didn't use shirt-less men
maybe next time! LOL ;)

peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/24/2010, 5:39 PM
LEEE- A complete reboot cast??..what do you mean?
ohh you mean from silent hill the movie?
or did somebody already cast
Silent hill: homecoming (videogame)?

OZY- LOL! FF is not for everyone it takes a comitment
to play a game like this!
I agree! The PS3 is NOT for me!! It is just
a glorifyed bluray player. IMO
OHH and THANKS for the kind words man!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/24/2010, 7:45 PM
PETE: Haha, cool man - I'll be sure to hunt them down! Just finished my Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast - phew, what an ordeal! It's features 25 characters and I've been working on it solidly for the past two days, lol! Starting Bioshock 2 now...I dont know when I'm going to do those Ultimate casts but I've only cast a young Sue Storm so far! :P Great cast again bud!

OZY: Haha, you're talking more out of your ass than when you suggest Zack Snyder to direct every other CBM! ;D How did HD-DVD work out for Microsoft, aka "the king of videogames"? Oh yeah, they released an expensive add on and PS3's built in blu-ray player crushed the format!!! Be sure to enjoy more recycled Halo games while I play quality titles like Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain and God of War III! LMAO!!!
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/24/2010, 9:17 PM
NOW, NOW boys lets play nice! LOL!

JOSH- I look foward to those casts! BND..thats just
asking for trouble! that is going to be an awesome
cast! HEY take you're time man, I'm not going
anywhere when you have the time I am sure you'll
get around to those ULT casts! THANKS AGAIN BUD!


I will admit I want to play HEAVY RAIN, and UNCHARTED 2,
but anything else... MEH...Sure GOW3 is a top notch brawler and the best "brwler" in the industry...but 360 has the "exclusive" titles on lock down! and is the number 1 selling console to date! also we get:


HALO 3
Halo: Reach ( halo is the best online shooter!!!)
Gears of War 3
Fable 3
Alan Wake (can't wait for this one!!)
Crackdown 2
Shadow Complex (best selling downloadable game 2009)

So in conclusion X-box is better..LOL!

HAHA HD-DVD..that was a good one!..but soon Blue ray
will be OUT..cause next we get 3D TV..LOL
TheSoulEater
TheSoulEater - 3/24/2010, 10:53 PM
Kay i dont neccicarily LIKE liv Tyler but i gotta admit, good pickins.

Your choice for Snow ROCKS!! Lighting, i like it, BUt personally I'd go for Missy peregrym. JUST me, not saying she cant do.

Hayden, is an EPIC CHOICE, golden in fact.

Will Smith, Awsome choice, but would never do it.

Emma Watson as Ferone? LIKE IT, LOVE IT.

Jared Padalecki as Captain Rydgen, GOOD!

Cameraon Diaz as fang?........Mmmmm i was thinking Ashely Greene, but again thats just me, guess she could work.

Fieness- awsome for a bad guy on any account.

Peirce as Hopes Father is epic

and Takizawa Hideaki as Cid Raines Is brilliant

Everyone I'm also on board with


I give you an A
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/26/2010, 1:00 AM
SOUL- THANKS MAN! If you want to get a sense why I chose
these actors..just watch the TRAILER I posted
in my first comment!

and that goes for the rest of you! LOL
flames809
flames809 - 3/26/2010, 1:33 PM
greats cast
TheSoulEater
TheSoulEater - 3/27/2010, 5:26 PM
I saw the trailer, and why i like this Final Fantasy is its the closest to breaking from its mold of rather...stiff acting from its cgi characters, its deep AND well portrayed.

Like i said, Will Smith is a dead fit for the role, just not sure he'd do it, but if he did, i would cheer.

I still think Missy PErygrim would be good, again just me.

And...liv, Sorry to go the other way but now i'm almost more sure she's not the BEST choice.

Cameron Diaz I'm also thinking could be outdone by another person for the role, however I haven't thought of her yet, lol.
DDD
DDD - 3/27/2010, 10:20 PM
I haven't played these FF games so I'm not
familiar with them at all!

But this cast looks like it fits all the
characters very well as you described them!

Nice casting!
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/28/2010, 9:29 AM
SOUL- AGREED! Smith would be perfect for the role
If they treated FFXIII like a multi-million
dollar movie..he might do it!
MISSY as lightning..I could see that..I chose
Stone because of ZOMBIELAND, FFIII would be
and ACTION/FANTASY..and Stone was great in an
action movie..Missy was never in a action movie
so I looked over her..but she is HOT and
could be right for the role.
ASHLEY GREENE? I'm not sure who she is?
DIAZ is an very experienced actress, I choose her
because her action role's in Charlies Angles.
and I need an OLDER actress for the role.
THANKS AGAIN MAN!

DDD- THANKS MAN! Ya I figured it would be nice to do
a video game cast for a change! THANKS AGAIN!
