FFXIV Anime based lore

[Enkidoh]

I don't think the OP is asking for an 'anime based off FFXIV', but rather wants to see references from anime in FFXIV. In which case, given the fact there's already tons of pop-culture references in the game from everything from The Simpsons to the music of Bob Dylan, a few anime references would seem almost understated.

Besides, one might think the SCH AF being very much Japanese school uniform-inspired ('sailorfuku') and the miqo'te race as generic anime references which are already in the game.

To be honest, I bet in the Japanese client, many of the references ARE to animes, song lyrics, etc . That are popular in Japan, what you're talking about is a localization issue. To the vast majority of English speaking players, a reference to the Rolling Stones, or "Back to the Future" will be more readily understood than a referance to Polysics or "Maken-Ki! Battling Venus" ( which I just looked up and it looks baffling)

A XIV based anime? Nah, it'd probably end up a ~12 episode series and not be that interesting. At least judging from how the actual XIV is >.> Only a few months, don't remember half of it.

Now! I'd get behind an XI based anime. I could see that being great, with as amazing as the storylines were. 9 years and I still remember all of it.





Also, incoming hate from people who have never played XI / quit because they had to put time/effort into something lol >.>
