The Spin-off Doctors: Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within by Jimquisition published on 2016-08-02T19:03:43Z Complete nonsense. Absolutely, thorough, infuriating nonsense. That's the best way to describe Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. It's a shorter running time this week because the film has about ten minutes of plot running through 90 minutes of gibberish. Despite that, this is actually one of our most entertaining episodes. A triumph, considering what we were working with. Genre Entertainment Comment by Eric Utterdahl I dunno, i thought the lifestream was was easy to understand, maybe that means i didnt get it? 2023-04-24T22:10:30Z Comment by AlexZ No, it doesn't make sense to me and didn't make sense 15 years ago when I watched that movie. It actually made me suspicious of all JRPGs. Are FF games this dense? 2021-12-21T21:35:07Z Comment by AlexZ I like the echo from Jim-Steph. Sounds like they're still in the toilet. 2021-12-21T20:09:22Z Comment by Dragon_Nexus The protagonist was a "Digital actress" who was going to show up in many different films. That didn't happen either. It was an interesting idea at the time, but hindsight makes us laugh at the notion 2019-01-31T22:39:35Z Comment by Keira Owens no idea what is happening 2018-05-03T02:36:36Z Comment by Keira I know this podcast is a year old, but I've been catching up on the show (and watching the damn movies) and this IS the first one to make me really sleepy. I took a nap after watching it. 2017-11-29T19:31:07Z Comment by Mr. Mysteron Man I must admit, for the first time in Spin-off Doctors history, it's been a rather tiresome podcast... That's probably because I've seen the film when it was originally out and I agree with everything said here, so you could say it's a case of FFTSW PTSD. 2016-08-23T15:52:08Z Comment by Derek Martin You sound like you aren't bothered. I guess your response is 'The movie couldn't be bothered, so why should we?' But a poor movie isn't an excuse to phone in a lazy show. Have some pride. I really enjoy this show when the energy is put in, but this episode was just 'Its Shit' without much detail. Example, Gaia is 'ridiculous' but never going further as to why you think so. Many examples of this until the last 10 minutes where you give the one pre planned point. I'd love to see some more energy as I think the show can be really good 2016-08-15T08:12:22Z Comment by Constantine Nope 2016-08-12T21:34:37Z Comment by SibirianBlue I watched this film when I was still very young, and I really really like it. I dont actually want to watch it again in fear of ruining the nostalgia, so to speak. At the time, I absolutely loved the visuals (especially the dream sequences). To me the whole spirit thing make sense, and I like the fact that science and 'magic' were intertwined in the plot with wavelengths and what have you. Having never played FF or even heard of it, this world was very new and exciting to me as a kid. So, Im gonna continue liking the idea of it despite what you two big meanies say :) 2016-08-11T18:39:28Z
