Which raises some concerns about design choices for the game in general despite a significant chunk of the community playing male characters.

They know that their target audience mostly plays female races. While FFXIV might have more players playing the Male races than other Asian online games they still aren't the majority, you can tell this by comparing female to male outfits on the mogstation.


Its definitely a problem and I wish more variety was given to the male races, but appealing to the majority will always win out over the minority. I'm not saying that it's a good idea personally but that's just how it is.

It's cute, well made. It's a bit cringey for me, but it helped me go to the toilet so I can't fault it.

Legend of the Crystals it was called looking it up. Another anime was also Unlimited, of which I don't remember too much of either.

Final Fantasy hasn't had too much success outside of games.

There was also three other FF anime released as well since then: two tie ins to FFVII (Last Order and On the Way to a Smile ~ Case of Denzel) and a FFXV prequel (Brotherhood). And of course there is The Spirits Within, FFVII's sort-of sequel Advent Children, and the FFXV film Kingsglaive if you regard them all as 'animation'. But yeah, animated/film adapations of the FF series have never been that good, probably due to the fact that a big part of the FF series is, well, they're interactive, you're experiencing that story first hand as games rather than simply passively watching the story unfold (it also doesn't help a lot of the animated FF features are rather self indulgent on the part of the producers and tend to lose a lot of the deep immersion of the games' narratives).

Hence on one hand as much as I would like to see a FFXIV tie-in anime (maybe adapt 1.0's story to show those who started their FFXIV journey with ARR what life was like at the end of the Sixth Astral Era and what really went down at Carteneau beyond what ARR has shown), on the other hand I would rather SE not. Because it would inevitabely turn out like all the above previous anime adapations: mediocre at best and possibly even turning potential new players away.
