Sleepin'

Now... I didn’t do all the side-quests on this game. In fact, I haven’t even finished the game at all because I got to the farplane and I’m being told to jump around on platforms in a very specific order to play a song and the jumping mechanism in this game is excruciating... and I just can’t right now...

At any rate, I did do this sidequest.  I got the super-magic chocobo.  It took a long time to catch enough chocobos capable of reaching level 5. But I did it and am now the Chocobo King.

With Tumblr finally catching up to Goncharov I’m surprised I don’t see more about Neve.

Even though she was only a background character, she was definitely my favourite part of the film, and I would think she would be right in Tumblr’s wheelhouse.

Anjelica Huston did an amazing job, especially in the flashback scene and of course the big scene with Antony. And even though I’m sure people will rush to say how problematic her portrayal was, the character was a landmark in trans representation. I also think it’s very meaningful that Antony is accepting of her. It was a big deal at the time to not only see a trans woman on screen, but also see her portrayed positively, and accepted by a main character. I know it went largely unnoticed, but I think it means a lot that the film did this, and I think it handles it well. For the time. I also love that in the credits Anjelica Huston is credited as Neve and not Ivan. It’s a small thing, but I feel like most films in the 1970s would have gotten it wrong.

Clasko is always so relatable

A Look At Stuff You Probably Never Heard Of: Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals

Last month, I mentioned that Final Fantasy: Unlimited was the second Final Fantasy anime. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the first FInal Fantasy anime. And not just any anime, but one that serves as a sequel to one of the games. Today, we take a look at... Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals! For this one, I’m gonna have to talk about a few spoilers.

Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals is a 4-episode OVA released from March 21st, 1994 to July 21st of the same year. It was animated by Studio Madhouse and licensed by Urban Vision when brought over the the US, where it was released on VHS in November 24th, 1998.

Taking place on Planet R, 200 years have passed since Bartz Klauser (referred to as Batz in the anime), Lenna Charlotte Tycoon, Faris Scherwiz, and Krile Mayer Baldesion defeated Exdeath (referred to as Exodes).

One fateful day, Queen Lenna Tycoon (the direct descendant of Lenna from Final Fantasy V) is informed that something is disrupting that crystals’ force. At the same time, Linaly and her grandfather, Hassam, set out to check on the WInd Crystal, being the descendants of Bartz. Along the way, they meet up with Prettz, Linaly’s longtime friend, who decides to tag along and accompany Linaly after an encounter with a monster leaves Hassam bed-ridden. But along the way, they’re beset by a fairly incompetent sky pirate named Rouge as well as her crew, but give them the slip and enter the Wind Shrine, where the Wind Crystal enters Linaly’s body.

Later, they encounter Valkus, the general of the Tycoon air force and captain of the Iron Wing airship, who accuses them of stealing the Wind Crystal. Later, the four come to realize they are the new Warriors of Light chosen by the Wind Crystal to protect the world from the encroaching darkness and the threat of Ra Devil, who has stolen Cid’s brain after his death to use his knowledge of the Crystals for his own evil deeds.

Despite the fact that Nobuo Uematsu didn’t write the music for the series, Masahiko Sato, the anime’s composer, took several cues from Uematsu’s work. And despite how simplistic the show can be, there are times where it becomes very fluid and even highly detailed.

And now, it is finally time for the FInal Recommendation: Never Let Go Of It||Get It||Hold Onto It||Try It||Consider It||Stay Away From It

Yeah, this show isn’t all that better compared to FF: Unlimited, but at least it feels more like Final Fantasy and the characters are certainly more interesting and useful. And some of the action scenes are pretty cool too. You can see the anime on YouTube.

However, the show seems to focus heavily on humor, leaving development heavily lacking; most notably with Valkus, as well as Linaly. And speaking of Linaly, there are a lot of panty shots at Linaly’s expense (ironically, Rouge in her revealing outfit has almost none) and they really don’t fit. There’s also the fact that when the Wind Crystal enters her body, her butt occasionally glows, thus bringing in another panty shot. They are incredibly bothersome, I won’t lie.

Funnily enough, many fans denounce this anime as a proper sequel, partially because it’s so absurd (and given it’s relation to FInal Fantasy V, the goofiest game in the series, that’s saying something), as well as the fact that Cid and Mid die some time after the defeat of Exdeath.

And I mentioned Valkus having lacking development. That being at the start of the story, he’s fiercely loyal to Queen Lenna Tycoon, but upon meeting Rouge, he falls head over heels in love with her and at the end, completely abandons his job to join Rouge as a sky pirate. Valkus can easily be compared to Adelbert Steiner from Final Fantasy IX, a comic relief soldier loyal to queen and country, but finds himself at odds with himself (and they butt heads heavily with the one of the other main characters). But the thing with Steiner is that he slowly learns that the world isn’t black and white and he doesn’t suddenly abandon his position out of nowhere, especially for love. Also, out of nowhere, Rouge is suddenly romantically interested in Valkus during the final episode.

Weirdly enough, despite Linaly and the Queen being descendants of Bartz and Lenna respectively, we know nothing about Faris or Krile’s descendants. By the way, the picture above is pretty much the only appearances made by the characters from Final Fantasy V. From back to front, left to right, there’s Faris, Bartz, Galuf, Krile, Cid (strangely referred to as Shido in the English dub), Lenna, and Mid.

And speaking of Mid, he appears as a major character in the anime, but as a ghost, having been killed by the main antagonist 200 years prior when Ra Devil stole Cid’s brain. Also, for some odd reason, Mid’s name is pronounced as “Meed”.

And one final thing I want to mention is that many voice actors involved with this anime would later voice characters in other Final Fantasy games, most notably X and X-2. Prettz is voiced by Matt Miller, who voices Clasko (the Chocobo Knight turned Chocobo Breeder) from FInal Fantasy X and X-2. Linaly is voiced by Sherry Lynn, who voices Shelinda (the young devoted Yevon acolyte) and the Shiva Fayth from X and X-2. Valkus is voiced by John DeMita, who voices Luzzu (the Crusader from Besaid who may or may not be killed by Sin), Barthello (Donna’s Guardian), and every Hypello (including Barkeep) in X and X-2, as well as Clarus Amicitia from Final Fantasy XV (Gladio and Iris’ dad). Ra Devil is voiced by Michael Sorich, who voices Galdes from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates, as well as Barbarossa from the Bravely Default series. Queen Lenna and Rouge’s henchwomen are voiced by Barbara Goodson, who also voices Marle from the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Mid is voiced by Julia Fletcher, who voices Lady Yunalesca and Elma (the energetic Chocobo Knight) from X and X-2, as well as Judge Drace from XII (also, her son, Connor, voices Kytes in the game), and Orphan in XIII. Also, a lot of them were involved with the Tenchi Muyo series. Anyway, I’ll see you guys next month, with another double-whammy. This time, it’ll be with two short-lived cartoon adaptations of live-action movies. I’ll see you then.

This post contains screenshots for a few characters from Final Fantasy X-2 HD, including Last Mission. Please note that I haven’t gone through these with a fine tooth comb, so there might be some blurry or out of focus screenshots! Each character has their own folder and you’re free to use them as you please. Feel free to use them for whatever, all I ask is that you like or reblog this post!
