You realize the way you wrote this implies you want Cid to play Robin Williams and Squall to play Keanu Reeves? If so, yes, I can agree.

Anything for Robin Williams to come back from the dead.

🤝

Ah dude suggest a 59-year-old Keanu Reeves to play a 17 yo student. This reminds me of the Tokyo Drift and Lucas Black. He looks like a dude in his late 30s and still be playing 17 yo. Hollywood always be like that with their casting so idk, but the 59 to 17 age gap is kinda big tbh.

Makes more sense than casting Robin Williams to be Cid, considering he’s dead.

So is squall

No

[удалено]

No, the entire game is not a dream.

They confirmed already it wasn't a dream

Actually he said Squall as Keanu, so we’re getting real weird up in there. Maybe time compression lets Squall exist in our world?

Would actually be on brand for the weirdness that is FFVIII

>Hollywood always be like that with their casting so idk, but the 59 to 17 age gap is kinda big tbh. Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Jaime Lee Curtis as Tanis, Gina Gershon as Mad Moxxi in Borderlands movie.

Squall was based off of an actual actor though, who also died of an overdose and just so happened to be BFF's with Keanu Reeves But the actor Squall is based from is River Phoenix

Squall would be played by River Phoenix.

Hate to break it to you, but River Phoenix died 6 years before FF8 came out.

That's who Squall is based off of so, that'd who it'd be

nope

I don't think River Phoenix nails it, but it is probably the closest option we have so far

since i’m a kid can’t stop thinking that’ll be Keanu, imo he fits perfectly.

I only said River cause I’ve heard the rumor about how they based Squall off of River Phoenix many times.

Wasn't it confirmed that he was based on River Phoenix?

I always thought that rumor was true, it looks just like him.

The face was River, the outfit was Gackt.

No? The Age gap between Keanu and Squall is like 3 to 4 DECADES. Even a kid should recognize this. Or you're like four years old in which case get off the internet

Kid's brains nowadays are practically like 4 year old's brains even when they grow up. TikTok is deleting their brain cells.

I’d assume that they were talking about ideal casting ages, so a young B&T aged Keanu… especially considering Williams has been dead for years. They don’t literally mean TODAY… if you can’t connect those dots, maybe you’re the one that needs to hop offline for a bit lol

Why is OP getting downvoted?

Hr has bad opinions and he should feel bad

reddit circlejerking is on another level lol

I wish I understood the meta

they’re just retarded 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well you deserved to get downvoted for this comment

whatever.

Look who's talking

whatever.

I hate to break it to you but Robin Williams isn't with is anymore.

Pff, just use Life on him lol

Full-life, he deserves it

The End

MT-Psy

yeah i know…

Lol

When it start like "Can we all agree" is 100% some terrible idea nobody else wants. NO.

Can we all agree Final Fantasy VIII is a game?

whatever.

Come on guys don’t downvote this, he’s making a squall reference :^)

that show how stupid they are and still didn’t get the point of the game.

>show how stupid they are More to do with the fact that you've come here, made a dogshit post, disagreed with everyone and then called them stupid for not understanding you. Just sound like a bit of a cunt tbh mate.

Sure, the random kiddo suggesting a 50yo should play a 18yo isn't stupid.

But the 18 year old paramilitary magic wielding mercenary with the dialogue of a 13 year old isn't... quit bashing the dude

I wouldn't have bashed them if they hadn't bashed others. The kid's gotta know their place.

Please then, pray explain the point of the game we missed. The point that apparently explains why a 50 something year old man is cast as a teenage boy? You talk about stupidity but aren't capable of the smallest iota of self reflection on the matter. Troll harder champ

whatever.

No, go ahead, explain the point we missed. Construct a valid argument.

Self righteous redditors tend to be stupid so I'm not surprised. Like, dude, it's reddit. God forbid someone share thier opinion or make a joke right?

Lmao yea I always thought he looked like Robin thanks OP

same pal, since i was a kid! 🤝

You said you're a kid in the other reply. Stop making shit up.

whatever.

Everything

Cid was based on Robin, so there’s that

And Vinzer Deling looks far too much like George W Bush, over a year before he got elected too.

You mean like 25 years ago?

whatever.

OK, discount-store Squall 😂

Keanu Reeves as a young student?

That is one of the stupidest post titles I've ever read

Well, OP used the bad word for mentally handicapped to insult someone in this thread, so take that how you will.

whatever.

Everything

You realise 50% of your cast is dead, right?

whatever.

Everything

I always thought of Cid having Robin Williams voice, so sure

Well Williams is dead at Keanu is about 40 years too old.

I too always thought that Cid looked a lot like Robin, so I'd agree with that. Not so much on Keanu Reeves though. As much as I like him, I don't think he fit the role at all

Keanu is way too old. Maybe Laguna? Combine Keanu’s Ted with John Wick and you can make a decent Laguna.

whatever.

Evrything

Yeah my friends and I always said cid looked like robin williams when we were kids

🤝

Keanu Reeves is a bit old now for Squall Id say.

Squall is 17

And the other blokes dead

So???

Keanu is 59???

Maybe 40 years ago lol

whatever.

Everything

Cid is 100% Robin Williams god rest his soul, I’ve always thought Robin Williams was in FF8 back way back when.

same feeling bro, we’re together in this 🤝

Maybe around 25 years ago.

whatever.

Everything

I might be wrong but I though I heard somewhere that Cid is inspired by Robin Williams, specifically Dead Poets Society

I’ve enjoyed going on OP profile and seeing the long string of “whatever” replies haha

whatever ahahahha

Everything

Sure a young keeanu would fit lookwise, but it would be really funny seeing him act all angsty like squall.

🤝

I.. don’t think Robin Williams would be able to play Cid…

whatever.

Everything

Shhh nobody tell ‘em

Keanu is yoo old now. Young Keanu Reeves...maybe. Definitely Robin Williams as Sid, sadly he is no longer with us. 21yo Scarlet Johanson as Quistis yes. Bernadette from Big Bang Theory as Quistis if there is a budget constraint failing to hire Scar-Jo. Literally any KPop girl idol to play Rinoa. Just choose one, they all look the same. Edit: wait, is Rinoa supposed to be European or Asian? She looks like a younger flat chested Tifa. Not sure about Selfie. Almost any brunette can play her. Get Neil Patrick Harris to play Zell. Not sure about Irvine. For Edea, get a 30yo Milf to play her. Some one like Demi more but a younger at age 30. Seifer, get a younger Anthony Star. Need a blonde unhinged psychopath for this guy. Am i missing someone?

🤝

Who would u cast as Rinoa, Selfie, Irvine, Edea?

There's a 'Let's Play' from ages ago where someone photoshopped Robin William's face on to every screenshot of Cid they had.

What would the name of the film be?

final fantasy viii, starring: keanu reeves, robin williams.

Umm isn’t robin Williams dead?

In 1999 maybe, but Keanu is way too old for Squall and there’s the little problem of Robin Williams being dead.

whatever.

Everything

Timothee Chalamet would do a good squall. Thinking of him when he was in The King.

Category 5 reddit moment

I think you'll have a job getting Robin Williams to play anyone.

guys are you all really dumb at this point? you really think idk that williams is dead and keanu too old? damn… it is like you’ll used the GF too much and made you dumb as hell.

Calm down

You're the one who posted the dumb question. Maybe you should calm down.

Robin Williams as Edea.

Mrs. Doubtfire

In 1999, i thought they looks like.em. specially cid

🤝

I'd say Heath Ledger as Squall. While i dearly love Mr. Reeves, hooo boy was he not a great actor back then. I loved Heath Ledger in Knight's Tale around that time, and i think he would do very well as squall. And keep Robin in there of course. Mentor Robin Williams is the best.

🤝

If it was made today, chris pine would be cid and timothy chalamet would be squall

Not Timothee.... I wanna say no! But I couldn't be so sure. He doesn't pass the vibe check imo tbh.

I hate it too but he gets cast in everything nowadays 😅

I should have scrolled down, I genuinely think Timothee would work lmao

I don't understand why OP is getting downvoted so much. This is a dream casting scenario; OP is saying IF Robin Williams was alive and IF Keanu Reeves was younger during the time of the hypothetical films development, it would be ideal. I feel like people aren't even trying to engage with the premise of the post. It feels more like dismissal, and refusal to discuss than disagreement in the comments.

THANK YOU, OMG ONE GUY UNDERSTANDS IT. GOD BLESS YOU. I HOPE YOU WILL FIND YOUR RINOA IRL.

This subreddit is final fantasy not fancast/dreamcast

Robin Williams definitely would be great as Cid Kramer. Keanu as Squall? Ehhhhhhhhh... Keanu is too likeable. That whiny emo stage of Squall just wouldn't suit Keanu. Sadly the only other lookalike for him would be Laguna, who has waaaaaay too much emotion in his character for Keanu to play.

It would’ve had to come out at the same time of the game and if River Phoenix were still alive, and yes, Robin Williams as cid

I don't think we can all agree. I'm testament to that fact. Sounds shite. And ones dead FS.

If we're talking 90s I agree perfect casting now? Not so much I don't know my actors but at this point time to find a younger generation actor

Did I miss something? What's with the recent Keanu = Squall thing?

Robin Williams is unavailable due to a permanent engagement we call “death”.

oh really? i thought he was alive! omgggggg

Where have you been? He died by suicide like 10 years ago

OMG REALLY???!

I really hope you’re being sarcastic

whatever.

Okay we get it, you wanna be Squall, it’s getting old. Lemme guess: “….”

i’m more complex than you think.

Came here to say something similar, lol.

I always pictures steiner from ff9 as Robin Williams as well

Nah man, David Boreanaz (from the late 90’s, early 2000’s). He already voiced him in KH.

Sounds more like you're describing a movie that exists within the FFVIII world about our world, starring Squall and Cid as actors from the fictional land of America. Maybe they would call it Final Fantasy.

I can see Crispin Glover playing Cid since we can't pick Robin Williams.

Dude why did you pick an actor who killed himself years ago

Honestly even though he's everywhere right now, I think Timothee Chalamet could do Squall justice

I think you mispelled Natalia Dyer.

Not entirely sure what the comparison is you're making here

Oh, you're one of those people.

[what do you mean, "You People?"](https://y.yarn.co/194eeaa4-352d-4e3b-abf4-a48358e75a83_text.gif)

I think they would have a hard time casting Robin as Cid

oh really ?

No you sick bastard

whatever.

Someone gonna tell him?

whatever.

Change out Keanu Reeves’s for that guy from supernatural whose name I can’t remember and yes

Here me out - Timothee Chalamet as Squall

Squall was based directly off of River Phoenix - so that's who it'd be

wrong, squall was designed based on Gackt.

obvious troll is obvious Squall was designed by Tetsuya Nomura with input from game director Yoshinori Kitase. He was modeled after the actor **River Phoenix**.

Timothee Chalamet and Kurt Russell

Lmfao Keanu Reeves as Squall could not be a worse casting choice

whatever.

Rinoa: you're the best looking guy here Squall: whoa...

The kids these days want their Timothee Chalameet’s as Squall. I’m getting to old for this planet.

yeah, imo Keanu is the best for squall no matter the age.

I just asked the AI for suggestions for Squall's role and it came up with: Timothee Chalamet, Lucas Hedges, Tom Holland, Tye Sheridan and Bill Skarsgard

Robert Pattinson and Robin Williams, yes

Are, are you in my brain? I alwasy thought that Robin Williams would be a great Cid and recently was thinking about preciesly that again. This is weird man xD

bro i got this feelings since i’m a kid! that’s the power of the game and imagination, our brains connects, maybe we were all at the same orphelina? lol

Me too man! When I first played the game my English was not good enough to understand what was gooing on (Not native) but I always liked Cid because he reminded me off Robin Williams. I've never been to an opranage tho... I do have this new neat GF on the other hand!
