“Which game is Spirits Within based on?”
Spirits Within, the first Final Fantasy movie, is a bit of a contentious moment in the franchise for some fans. It has a bit of a cult following, but was largely poorly received when it premiered in 2001. But for some, it feels like Square just slapped the franchise’s name on a big, expensive CGI movie without making it a meaningful part of the series’ anthology universe. Future movies, such as Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive were at least extensions of their respective universes and were gorgeously animated, but Spirits Within? Not so much.
