Added DiffLines:

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Just like ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' (which coincidentally premiered the same year as ''Unlimited''), the anime is a standalone work that does not adapt any of the storylines from the games and has little in common with them, which turned off many ''Final Fantasy'' fans from the anime, while a ''Final Fantasy'' anime had little appeal to mainstream audiences in the first place. Naturally, just like ''The Spirits Within'', it failed to attract an audience, and the anime was cancelled after its first season due to poor ratings and video sales.

** Lisa Pacifist, for her [[MsFanservice impractical clothing that draws attention to her extreme figure]], being in angst for most of her screen time, often pleading, and also being one of the most awkwardly-written characters of any ''Final Fantasy'' media ever (and that's saying a lot), in which her main "character flaw" is making "fake smiles". Thus making her stand out badly in a franchise known for having its stories be set in a WorldOfBadass every time.
** Ai and Yu Hayakawa also count, as even if they are two of the main characters, they're never shown fighting, or even can't fight, in a franchise where there exist {{Kid Hero}}es such as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII The Onion Knights]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Rydia]], and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Relm]], among others.

** The character designer is the same for ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'' - and suffice to say, one can see the similarities, though ''especially'' with ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia''. This is especially notable with Grune in Tales of Legendia who looks somewhat like Fabula. [[spoiler: They have more similarities...]]

* HilariousInHindsight: People complained about how long it took for Kaze to do a summon. With the summoning times of some of the other ''Final Fantasy'' games, his summoning time seems to barely register.

** The anime in general is this for those who have watched it; the plot is messy (the unreleased-except-in-script ''After'' is even messier as well as ending in a blatant SequelHook), it all barely resembles ''Final Fantasy'' outside of a few franchise mainstays (with Chobi, Cid, and Moogle Kupo even having prominent roles in the cast), and has a lot of characters who are either dumb or outright unlikeable. And yet, there is also enough hilariously bizarre imagery and plot twists to make it entertaining. The English dub adds to this with its voice acting that is a mix of both entertaining ''and'' gloriously hammy.

** Kaze's aforementioned summoning sequence, which he does with his Magun and Soil. (And yes, it ''is'' [[GunsDoNotWorkThatWay as stupidly awesome as you would imagine]].) It takes ''forever'', happens OncePerEpisode, and (other than the color of the bullets) [[RecycledAnimation it is exactly the same each instance it happens]]. But even then, it is undeniably badass and Kaze's voice actor in both Japanese and English does a great job in helping its case. The summons always doing something really cool afterwards also helps.
