Tuesday Otaku Debate: What anime would you rather have made? Final Fantasy VI vs. Chrono Trigger
by God Len, 03/18/2008
Tuesday Otaku Debate: What anime would you rather have made? Final Fantasy VI vs. Chrono Trigger photo


It seems like some of you didn’t like this last debate, who would you want to cater your party, Yakitate, Hayate, or Zeon. You argue that I was not looking for someone to cater it, but rather whose party you would like to attend. I’m sorry if I offended those of you who are part of the catering community.

Despite these criticisms, I think last week’s debate was epic. The winner of course was Yakitate Japan, the only anime out of the group that actually makes food. You don’t know what your missing though, I heard Zeon’s parties are off the hook!

Yakitate Japan: 10
Hayate the Combat Butler: 5
Principality of Zeon: 6

Next week’s can be found after the jump!

Hopefully this week’s Otaku Debate will make all my critics happy, who is a bigger douche, John Martone or Gia? Whoops, I mean what would you rather have as a full blown, high-quality anime series, Final Fantasy VI (3, for those of you been living in a cyber cave), or Chrono Trigger.

Now Final Fantasy VI has an epic story evolving many different character, and would probably be 50+ episodes. Plus, who wouldn’t love to see an animated Kefka. Chrono Trigger doesn’t have as many characters as its rival, but what it does have is a talking frog; yup, and his name’s frog too. This anime would have less episodes than Final Fantasy VI I beilve, and will most-likely be Dragonball Z part 2 because of its art style. Which series would you rather see as an anime? And you can only pick one!

Final Fantasy VI all the way.

FFVI, I want to revere the man (woman?) who becomes the VA for Kefka.
 
God Len

kefka must be played by this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroki_Takahashi
 
SourGr8pes

He had me at hello when I realized that was Harima Kenji...
 
God Len

His hisoka is amazing, plus he looks like kefka too
 
Laharlx

Chrono Trigger
 
Upgrayedd

FFVI, but not by much.
 
Generic_Mistake

Chrono Trigger, But my real vote is for Lunar: Silver Star Story
 
Aoi

Ooooooh, Lunar.

My vote's for Grandia II.
 
Tertiee

It maybe because of the anime styled cutscenes in the PS port but Chrono Trigger seems more fitting for an anime. CT's bosses more frequently had fun personalities and techs would be more interesting to see than FF's attacks. Main thing I'd be worried about is the matter of Crono talking...

tl;dr Chrono Trigger
 
Seif

Chrono Trigger.


Dear god, Chrono Trigger.

Always Chrono Trigger.
 
Seravi

My vote's for Grandia II.[/quote]

I think Grandia II is too ... meh. Sappy. Not as deep as Grandia I.

Now then ... you must ask this question, don't you? Why must I choose TT_TT ...

Let it be CT cause it should be fun.
 
Bakuryu

FFVI all the way
 
Horatio Caine

F-ing pull the f-ing trigger on mother f-ing Chrono Trigger FTW.
 
corneliuscack

chrono trigger :D



but i'd want to see a final fantasy tactics anime pls.

 
Cheesus

The way so say it Chrono Trigger sound stupid, but I'll still go with it. It's just waaay cooler.
 
Cyber34

FFVI, simple for Kefka.
 
miguelcar808

Chrono Trigger FTW !!!!!
 
Gatoh

Chrono Trigger all the way. They should at least remake the game to the DS or Wii or something lD

Virtual Console would be fine.
 
dragonpup

Chrono Trigger.
 
Mr Nox

Chrono Trigger, but not for the reasons you imagine : I would HATE them for RUINING FFVI with shit like "fan service", filler episodes, bad animation ("hey, let's have it made by those guy who did Naruto !"), just think about the last 10 anime you've watched, NOT one can do FFVI justice.

So Chrono Trigger, which is already anime-like, to save FFVI from a disaster.
 
Scotty

Chrono Trigger!!!
 
SourGr8pes

Oh WHY did you bring up Lunar??? Now I want a Lunar anime, so I can bawl out of joy like a little bitch, when I beat the game on Sega CD when I was young...

Technically they did make a Lunar anime, but it was a short little OAV for the Magic School game, and it was more of a SD comedy.
 
king3vbo

CHRONO TRIGGER
 
sheerblade

Chrono Trigger... and it'd better have the same Frog's theme from the SNES game.
 
Chicken008

Chrono Trigger
 
madninja

Chrono Trigger!
 
Zeouterlimits

*thinks*
In terms of what actually happened which would be cool to see I'd go with FFVI.
 
Reibooi

FFVI
 
FhnuZoag

Chrono Trigger, as long as it isn't drawn by the Dragonball Z guy. Otherwise, FF IV
 
leahfu

i would die a happy woman with a FFVI anime :3
 
serial

DAMMIT, that's an awfully hard question...

BUT KEFKA TELLS ME I SHOULD VOTE FFVI
 
Virfox

FFVI
 
calpis

Final Fantasy III (because I played the SNES and not the gba or super famicom versions) but it would have to be stylized like either witch hunter robin or the ending sequence in zoku sayonara zetsubou sensei.
 
meluckycharMS113

chrono trigger. i haven't played either of the games, or read either manga, but i like frogs... it does look like dbz 2, and dragonball z was probably what originally sparked my interest in anime and manga.
 
mana

I'm gonna say Chrono Trigger just because the PS1 version had some spot on cutscenes that if emulated into the anime could be really good stuff...either way most game to anime have been crap outside of the first FF ovas and FFAC.

oh and John Martone...for no real reason
 
bluedragoon

Chrono Trigger
 
pozor

I thought trigger was made into an anime...?

I love both, but gotta give it to FFVI.
 
Sigue

Katamari Damacy.
 
Red Baylon

John or Gia? Let me hang out with them this weekend and Ill find out.

Chrono Trigger already had like a side-story OVA but had almost nothing to do with the game's story. Chrono Trigger already has a familiar art style thanks to Akira Toriyama so yeah... CHRONO TRIGGER.
 
yuetheguardian

chrono trigger though we would love a 3d remake of final fantasy VI for the DS *hint* *hint*. but chrono wins out for an anime because well, its got the writing of an anime, and the characters are all lovely.
 
senefen

FFVI, that game is the reason I bought a PS2 ( So I could play all the higher numbered games)
I looooooved it. I got every character and played it through twice.

Got stuck on fraking magnus in CT, never got past him.

My vote is FFVI
 
abune

If FF VI had Berserk style animation then I'd say that but, No matter what anyone says I will forever love Akira Toriyama. So:

Chrono Trigger
 
Remz

FFVI FFVI FFVI.
 
DEF JM

Chrono Trigger!

 
Nester

Chrono Trigger FTW
 
God Len

I must vote for Final Fantasy VI, its my love
 
The_Kenji

Chrono Trigger
 
nademagnet

FFVI
 
Nettle

CHRONO TRIGGER!! And then the follow-up season could be Chrono Cross!!!
 
Orochi Borgieman

Chrono Trigger.

But Sique I WAS going to steer in your direction with Katamari Damacy. An anime based off Katamari would be hilarious.
 
CitizenGeek

Final Fantasy VI would make a better anime, methinks!
 
Wakuna

FF6
