Final Fantasy

Aside from the references, this anime isn't directly connected to the Final Fantasy V game. It takes place many years after the game, and though it is said that Linaly, the main female character, is a descendant of Bartz, this Bartz could very well be some random legendary hero.

There are job classes, though without the particular outfits and there are four crystals as in practically every Final Fantasy. The plot features the quest to protect the wind crystal after the others are stolen by a new enemy, a strange alien with advanced technology whose base is located in the black moon, a natural satellite of planet Gaia.

The story has its fair share of humor and amusing characters especially Pritz and Rogue. The plot is easy to understand even if you haven't played the game, but the references would be lost.

Overall it seems this anime has received more criticism than praise, possibly because people expected a sequel with more connections to the game. But if you look at it as a strand alone Final Fantasy story, it's not bad.

The art and sound are not the best, but to be fair the anime is rather old and has decent art for its time. Despite it not being one of the best anime out there, it's still enjoyable and I recommend watching it with an open mind, being ready to judge it on its own instead of holding it against the game. read more

I'm not going to do a full review on this because I got half way through and relised there was really nothing to it.

Theres a few simple catagories to this...

Did you play Final Fantasy 5...if no go to the next question...If yes, did you enjoy it?

If you did enjoy playing final fantasy 5, watch this, it's an additional extra to it.

If you didn't then don't consider this BUT, if you havn't even played final fantasy 5 but you like other final fantasies then I think you should give this a try...it's pretty much a continuation from final fantasy 5, would have alot more meaning if you have completed final fantasy 5 the game. read more
