If I hadn't searched for "Final Fantasy" for curiosity, I'm afraid I really can't remember this movie.
ten years.
When the memory is slowly brought back, the shocking feeling at the beginning also slowly returns.
[Deep in the Soul] What it means to me lies in both technology and meaning. It was at least seven or eight years ago when I saw this movie. At that time, I was ignorant and ignorant, and the feeling of animation was still in the stage of enlightenment. I hadn't even heard the term Final Fantasy before, and I didn't know that there was a series of games called this name. When I bought it, I thought it was a movie, but I didn't expect it to be an animation.
Yes, I did not expect that animation technology can be comparable to real people.
I remember that I paused when I watched it a little bit, because I realized that this is not a live-action movie, but a real animation that can be "fake". It was so shocked that I watched it after I was excited for a long time.
So CG entered my life for the first time.
[Deep in the Soul] It established my long-term goodwill for the Final Fantasy series, so that when FFAC came out, it was really crazy. But to be honest, I was not so shocked when I saw FFAC. One is [Soul] The technology at that time seems to me to be the limit of lifelikeness. AC is more beautiful, but the technology can't make me amazed anymore (I once again marveled that CG technology was when AVATAR was released). The second is that [Soul] had already put forward the concept that the earth has its own soul at the time, and the later AC setting actually only continued this setting.
In my opinion, the setting of [Deep Soul] is quite forward-looking. Later, many of the series of science fiction animations released in Japan can be linked to the settings in [Depth of the Soul]. It is not that they learn from [Soul], I believe it is the subtle influence of [Soul] on people.
My favorite English name so far is Gaia, and I still believe that the soul of the earth is called by this name. This can be regarded as its legacy.
Now I can’t find the disc I bought. If I can, I hope I can watch it again. Maybe it doesn't feel astonished at the beginning, but there must be something that makes people feel fresh even after ten years and still has the value of preservation.
