They did a little over 20 years ago, based off FFV I believe. It wasn't that great.

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.

I have Unlimited on DVD. It's not bad. Nothing mind-blowing, but there's worse ways to kill a few hours.

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.

If there is one FF anime I'd like to see, it's of Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. It's a story that seemingly threw out all of the cliches and years later people still debate whether the protagonist (Marche) was a villain or not. That's a prime candidate for a "video game" movie right there.

Is Marche The True Villain Final Fantasy Tactics Advance?

I mean that was 20 years ago..doesn't mean FFXIV could be bad.

Hmm, I bet it's a generic catgirl.

Totally has a generic kawaii uguu catgirl. Compete with shrill pitch voice.

Hard pass.

Give me a Made in the Abyss directed/written/styled anime and you've got a blu-ray buy.

It's apparently going to be an ongoing ad campaign.
