Planet R's luminous existence is maintained by four magical Crystals, each regulating a different essential element: Earth, Water, Fire and Wind. Long ago, sinister dark forces stole the Crystals and threatened to destroy the Planet. But, the courageous heroes fought desperately and defeated the dark forces to restore the planet to its peaceful state.
Two hundred years later - the great fight has been long forgotten and again, three Crystals have been stolen. The young descendants of the ancient heroes, Linaly and Prettz, are all that remain to protect the Crystal of Wind from the evil forces. If the two can managae to escape from Rouge - the leader of a leather-bound army of female pirates, they must still pass through the many dangerous obstacles that protect the magical crystal. Only the chosen one will survive the passage.

Where it came from
Released in 1994, Legend of the Crystals serves as the first animated adaptation of the Final Fantasy franchise. Produced by the renowned studio Madhouse, this four-part original video animation (OVA) was conceived as a direct narrative sequel to the events of Final Fantasy V, set two centuries after the original game's conclusion. It represents an experimental era of video game adaptations in Japan, where developers sought to expand their intellectual properties into multimedia formats before the global explosion of the series.
The production sought to capture the high-fantasy aesthetic of the SNES-era games, featuring character designs by Toshinori Matsumura that aimed for a more stylized, classic anime look. Upon its release, the project met with mixed critical reception, often noted by fans for its tonal shifts and loose narrative connection to the source material. Despite its perceived departures from the core canon, it remains a historical touchstone for enthusiasts interested in the early efforts to translate the Final Fantasy universe into episodic animation.
