When magic crystals are stolen from sacred shrines on the earth by an interplanetary badguy, a girl and her grandfather set out to save the last crystal. A boy follows them and the grandfather's health fails, leaving him behind. The boy and girl meet soldiers and pirates who join them as well as a ghost and finally a dragon. Together the team faces the enemy to restore the crystals to their rightful place.
Unlike newer Final Fantasy films, this one was very much like the games. Party gathering, latent magical abilities, puzzles and transformations were the main concepts that drew such a close analogy. The rise and fall of pacing with action mirrored gameplay and I could easily imagine this story being told in the form of an RPG video game. I noticed some gender role reversals that could be mentioned here, such as the male lead's armor breasts and bum-flap/skirt while the female lead lacked boobs and farted magical light. The female sky pirate acted masculine and the male lead soldier acted feminine. The picture demonstrates what I mean. There were 2 problems that I could point out: The version that I saw had audio that changed levels without warning, fluctuating from 1/3rd volume up to 3x volume. The other thing is that most of the games have a longer plot that takes many hours of text screens or cut-scenes to tell. Other than that, I thought it was great. I rate it awesome for being so much like the games. Any Final Fantasy or anime fan will like this.
