It began airing in October 2001 and was scheduled to air 52 episodes. However, it was cancelled after its twenty-fifth episode because it was just too awful.

Its biggest problem was that it couldn't decide whether it wanted to suit the tastes of teenagers, for whom the games are generally designed, or for small children. On one hand, it had simplistic character designs, child protagonists (imagine Relm being the main character of FFVI), and cutesy monsters only capable of instilling fear in eight-year-olds. On the other hand, it also hosted a "sensually curvaceous" female supporting character and occasional moments rife with the drama and emotional strife present in the games. It tried to be two things at once and subsequently failed at being either.
