Re: backcover story point of view?

I'd rather it be done like an actual movie. I'm interested to see what an original movie would look and feel like since the movies thus far have been recapping games more or less.

It will likely be an omniscient point of view. It would take too much time to go through each Foreteller's POV, but omniscient will allow us as the viewers to essentially see everything that is important.

Essentially a proper film.

You can bet my bottom dollar that Chirithy is going to be the narrator of the events (like Mickey was with Re: Coded).

^This basically. It's most likely going to be from Chirity's POV but that makes me wonder how they'll involve the avatar in this one since I can't really imagine the story being told without them being in the movie at all.

Not through Chirithy's POV. Wasn't it stated it' will be the POV of the Foretellers?

I honestly can't remember that being the case... Would you have a source for that by any chance?

It seems like it will be narrated by Chirithy. Chirithy will be recounting the Foreteller's story which will allow us to go into depth about them all and experience their side of the story. The dialogue was recorded with the tone of sadness/heartrending so expect the story to not be a happy one.

I'm expecting Chirithy's narration to just be a way to bridge the scenes together and show the passage of time. Chirithy will explain that there's something that happened, for example a meeting between the five to discuss the traitor. We will drop down into the scene, have a cutscene with the Foretellers all speaking and moving etc, and then pull back to Chirithy's narration.

This will then showcase it as the story of the Foretellers but allow us to have a character explain certain things and give leeway into different time periods.

This should make it feel more like a movie. Days and Re:coded moved in real time and was very jumpy, this is a recap of past events so it should have a flow to it and not be jumpy. I say this, but no doubt they'll find a way to screw us over, much like how they promised fight scenes in Re:coded that turned out to be 3 swings of the Keyblade.

Think of it like the back cover of a book, where you can find the synopsis to the story.

EDIT

They will probably have a "canon" avatar design, kind of like how FFXIV has the hot guy who represents the player in all of the trailers. That way we can see all of the scenes that involve the player with the Foretellers.

If they do that, the avatar character will have to be a silent protagonist like Link.

Get ready for lots of blank stares, slow and dramatic head nods, and "kyaah!"

As opposed to an individual avatar, I think that there'll be a collection of default avatar characters. These Foretellers are leaders of factions, and seeing as factions function in groups, I definitely believe that there's more than one "default avatar model" that they'd use. Besides, we're two console generations ahead of the PlayStation 2, crowd simulation should be possible in the series.

I don't think we'll see the unwashed masses of the common players in Back Cover at all. If a Chirithy really narrates through the whole movie it most likely belongs to one of the fixed personalities like Ephemera, Skuld or even a new character.

Besides, there are a set of standard avatars the game uses in the title artwork, the weekly winning screen and the ones standing (in some cases stood) around in Daybreak Town.

*slow claps* I wasn't sure how they were going to do the movie when I heard about it. But now after reading this, I think this is the best and only way. Hopefully it will go down this road, because if so I think it will really be something to behold, tbh

Hmmm... these two character may indeed end up being the supposed "Avatar" representation for Chi Back Cover. We have still yet to see the third original character that completes the Ephemera and Skuld Trio (which I assume is the Sixth Foreteller).
