And as for the whole Fantasy not being a social norm, four words: Pirates of the Carribean. It's friggin' huge, and it's even more socially normal than LotR.
That's in our world though. Nobody cares if something is in our own world. Regardless of time, usually. People much prefer, for some reason, to watch crappy horror films that all happen to be the same, or homosexual action films that all happen to be the same, or unfunny comedy films that include a romantic element and most likely include teenagers or people in their mid-20s, that also happen to be the same.
I've never really thought of PotC as Fantasy, when I say Fantasy, I MEAN proper fantasy, like, completely differant, mystical world where scientific advancements don't go past swords and everybody's clothes and hair are seriously screwed up. I know lots of things come under the Fantasy genre as a whole, but certain things happen to be more fantasy-esque than others.
A screen-play would definatly suit The Way much better I think, though if they "anime-ed" it and drew it out. Like, twelve episodes for the entire Strata Plunge in Estrana, that'd suck.
Alundra: How can the name of a something affect your opinion of it? If The Way was called something stupid like "Final Fantasy: Endless Journey" or some typical spin-off name like that, would you dislike it?
