This was a very different kind of Final Fantasy I'm used to, but coming from a Final Fantasy fan since over a decade now, I didn't expect it to be just another sword hack-and-slash anime trying to copy the games. I enjoyed it very much, even rewatched and shared with my friends. It's much darker and creepier than I imagined it would be. The story was pretty great and original, and the characters were likable. The character's did, however, seem to come right from a children's book, which, at least to me, added to the effect. I recommend the subtitles though, because the english dub forAi and Yu are hard to listen to; they sound like they are just reading the script. The summoning scenes is easily noticeable redundancy in the show. I found it hilarious really. I even find myself memorizing the entire summoning.
