A brand new animation has been proven throughout Remaining Fantasy XIV FanFest China, and it has reignited the deepest of wishes inside me — I would like nothing greater than to see a slice of life anime targeted on the Scions and their adventures. 

I’m not speaking about their battles or their endeavors to save lots of the world from yet one more calamity. We’ve all seen that a number of occasions at this level. No, I need to see Y’shtola, Lyse, and Alisaie having a ladies brunch as they talk about whether or not anybody has caught their eye. That concept isn’t pulled out of skinny air, both. It’s occurred in textual content format, within the Chronicles of Mild compendium of tales. 

I might like to observe Estinien on his latest travels, as he adventures solo and encounters new folks. I need to see Tataru’s enterprise conferences, and watch as Alisaie and Alphinaud bicker over one thing mundane. I need to see the Scions be actual folks and never heroes. Most of all, I need to see them have enjoyable. 

The animation has been shared on Chinese language video-sharing web site Bilibili, and I extremely suggest you watch it if you’d like one thing to smile about right now. 

It’s not the primary time we’ve been teased with the idea of a Remaining Fantasy XIV Anime, both. Again in 2021, a trailer for the Korean market was launched, and it raised my hopes fairly considerably earlier than I noticed it was, in actual fact, simply an commercial. 

We even have an official Manga within the form of Eorzea Academy, which takes the Scions and places all of them in class along with Tataru because the principal. It’s slightly bit odd, to be sincere, however have I learn by means of it 5 occasions or extra? Sure, sure, I’ve. 

Such a fantastical world as Eorzea deserves to be celebrated in any approach that it could actually, and I truthfully would love nothing greater than a full Anime collection protecting the lore from 1.0 onwards, however a slice-of-life Anime which lets us see behind the hero facádes of the Scions as they attempt to perform as regular members of society? I dream of that.
