/vr/ - Retro Games

Watched this recently. Was a bit of letdown. While I appreciate that they made an anime based on my favourite FF, it barely resembled anything close to the original game. If not for Chocobos, a couple screens with the original game's characters (Faris has a nude breast on one of them, go ahead and watch it now) and loose plot connections, I wouldn't even know I was watching a FFV OVA. Also the original game's characters are made out as idiots, as the OVA's plot hinges on the villain Ra Devil stealing Cid's brain to produce the Crystal's secrets, killing Mid in the process without Bartz and his friends ever reacting in any way and allowing Ra Devil to safely escape with the brain and research it for decades, later to be stopped by a bumbling generic anime protagonist with a huge katana and Bartz's granddaughter who was chosen by the crystals to contain their powers and hide them from Ra Devil, yet whose powers are limited to having her butt glow and summoning bald chocobos. Many things they could have included from the original game are turned into or sidelined in favor of fanservice (pantyshots and buttshots, the Poor Man's Dominatrix Faris' pirate captain's entire character) and stupid gags.

A 2/10 adaptation at best that doesn't have much to do with the game but a fairly fun 6/10 OVA on its own. Highlights include Tycoon's air force and Faris' nip slip. The protagonist Prettz is an okay character too.

You talkin' about this? I remember renting it once when I was a kid, but I don't remember anything about it. It's probably all up on Youtube now.
