They did Anima dirty. Nothing quite like seeing an attack that used to routinely break the damage limit in FFX hitting 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.... 0! Because there's a scholar in the party.

We see it a lot, lots of build up for... very little pay-off. I spent most of the period before EW incredibly excited to see Anima again as it was without a doubt the coolest FFX summon (sorry bahamut). Then you do the Tower of Babil and it's like oh... ok. Then you teleport to the moon in an instant and the plot starts falling apart faster than a house of cards
