how would you like FF14 anime?

Based on the performance of the anime industry lately I don't think SE would be in a particularly big hurry to get back into it. Unless it's moe anime or generic shonen it's not really profitable at this point.

It might be fun as a short OVA or something but I can't see it working for a full-length series.

I don't really understand why is there no good ones out lately? I don't know the whole story but since a lot of anime seams to be based off of manga. They seam to be making more anime off the monthly chapter ones im going to use Blue Exorcist as an example but since their using the monthly chapter ones they eventually catch up to where the manga is and then they go a completely different way from where the originally story is going.

Is this what's happening?

Tons of anime every season has been based on manga, I haven't seen an increase in that.

It's anime companies having no money, so they'll take either a manga or an original screenplay and figure they can only get thirteen episodes out of it, maybe two seasons of that if it's extra popular. Also there's tons of anime every season, it's like market saturation. For every one really good show there's ten moeblob slice of lifes no one really wants to watch

No one wants to sit through a million-episode show anymore (and of course really look at the ones that are still in that format, they have been for years and years now).

Also unless I'm nuts Blue Exorcist only had twenty five episodes. I don't think they'll make a new season, either, to "catch up" with the manga.

It isn't that there are "no" good shows, it's just that the average quality has dropped drastically since the major anime companies learned that really lazy moe anime literally prints money. All they need is a good character design that moe fans will pay $100+ for pillow covers of and it becomes much easier to make money, rather than spending money on expensive animation which may or may not even become popular enough to make a profit via DVD sales etc.

Also the magic formula for success these days is to get an anime show with a cellphone game tie-in (like Love Live) which has pretty much made a lot of anime just blatant commercials for cellphone games.

Nevermind that animators and VAs are getting paid sweat shop wages. A lot of adaptations also don't get renewed for anything beyond the initial 12 episodes if they don't cause a big spike in the source's sales.

Oh, and a lot of studios also deliberately censor their series so they can get perverts to buy overpriced blu-rays later on since that's the only way they can avoid working at a deficit.

It would probably have a bunch of overly-annoying catgirls in it with the usual sickeningly cutesy personalities.

I am working on a fanfiction called Hydaelyn Unlimited. It's supposed to be like an anime version of the FFXIV main story with original characters.

Only if the Warrior of Light were a lalafell who communicates only in facial expresses and inarticulate yells/grunts.

I'll watch it only if Alisaie is the main character.... Still salted that she's completely vanished from the game after Coil....
