What would happen if your character starred in a FFXIV sidestory anime starring the everyday adventurers and people instead of the Warriors of Light in the MSQ? Tell everyone what kind of anime would your character star in and the details.

I'll start off:

Solis Claritas would be a sort of shonen hero/protagonist, and his anime would star him and his friends in the FC Arcadeus as they go through several arcs to help uphold the peace of Eorzea. My alt, Sakura Mitarashi, would be a supporting protagonist/main female protagonist to Solis.

Opening Theme:

Hero -Kibou no Uta- (Song of Hope) by FLOW TV Version

Opening Sequence:
First the camera moves fast across a green plain, facing the grass before shortly panning upwards to show dark clouds while still showing the grass. Show images of a blue crystal, Gran Ragnell, and Solis's bandana during the scene. After a bit, scene change to Solis standing with his head partially down on a fiery battlefield with dark clouds rolling in, transitioning via flame effect to zooming in closer to Solis slowly turning his head up as the camera zooms in on him, showing a hot-blooded expression grin, cut to showing some side characters, before cutting back to Solis unsheathing Gran Ragnell (Nik's sword) and proceeds to do a fiery sword pose showing Niklas on the reflection of the blade. Scene change to Sakura ninja-running and jumping on trees in the Black Shroud with those same clouds, then to a closeup to Sakura first showing her cheery expression yet with a determined look, and then jumping up before cutting to more side characters before cutting back to Sakura, now with a serious expression, doing a mudra and throwing a Fuma Shuriken, the blades cutting the screen and then the main villains of the whole anime show up in epicness. Scene change to a battle where Solis, Sakura, and some side characters fight against some foes (monsters, Garleans, etc.) to show off their skills before scene changing to show the other villains of the current arc and fighting against them, the scene itself varying on the arc. Last scenes show more side characters, then Regnum Garlemald with Sarah in front with Ramsus and the others overlooking on a cliff, then the members of Arcadeus with Anelia, Mizuho & Nysa from the cliff nearby the estate, then Niklas and Rena standing on top of a clearing in the Black Shroud backs turned, then as they turn around to face the camera, they are replaced by Solis and Sakura, respectively, and they both jump into the air as the camera pans into the sun. Fade to white to final scene, showing some last shots of the characters while slowly showing the title screen in an instant in between each of the shots before ending the sequence by showing the title screen completely.

Ending Theme:

Red Hot Riot by FLOW TV Version

Ending Sequence:
Just a couple of shots of different characters relevant to the arc, always having Solis, Sakura, Niklas, and Sarah in them.

Main Antagonist/Villain(s) (If your anime has any):
The Garlean Empire (Both stories, overarching villains)
-Wallace sas Cornelia (NPC, Sarah and Nik's father, Solis's story)
-VIIth Legion (Different fights from MSQ of course, Niklas's story)
Monkey King (real name R'enki Tia, Rena's crazy brother, Rena's antagonist)
Takemaru Mitarashi (Sakura's older brother, Sakura's antagonist)

Premise:
Solis Claritas is a newcomer and greenhorn adventurer coming from the sands of Thanalan, one day arriving in the great city-state of Ul'dah. Along the way he gets attacked by some bandits, but makes short work of them. He rests for the night at the Quicksand, and after registering for both the Adventurer's Guild and the Immortal Flames, he finds a civilian being beaten up by the same thugs he encountered earlier, now accompanied by their boss. He once again makes short work of them, but is dragged by a random guy (Aaron Frostheart), into a completely different place, in La Noscea, where he encounters the free company Arcadeus, which Solis joins. From there he goes on many adventures and missions with Arcadeus to protect the realm of Eorzea from threats of many kinds.

Other Info (if any):
It is a unique anime that details two different stories taking place that are connected: One is the story of Niklas Gran, the Azure Wind and his adoptive sister Rena Gran, a Seeker Miqo'te who travels along with him across Eorzea to go on many adventures after many years of being in Coerthas. That story takes place before the Calamity, and is connected to the present via several dreams that Solis, the main hero in the present story. The other story details Solis joining Arcadeus and going on different missions that takes him to battle various foes, including treacherous Doman ninjas, Garleans, and many more. The female lead is Sakura Mitarashi, distant relative of one of Arcadeus's founders, Mizuho Mitarashi who hails from the same land as her, and accompanies Solis after saving her from a close encounter from her evil brother Takemaru. This story takes place after the Calamity several years later.

-The episode titles would be either red or blue depending on whether Solis or Niklas is being featured, or purple if both are featured in the present.
-The TV versions of the songs were edited by me to fit like it would be as an anime OP/ED theme. I had to put them on Dropbox so I could avoid potential copyright issues on Youtube.
Rough would be the burly shopskeep or downstairs neighbor who's only sole pride in life and target of hard work and devotion are his bonsai plants and his five year old daughter. The series follows the main character with occasional scenes spanning over Rough and his adventures of unplanned parenthood.
Anime Name: Everything's OK: The Adventures of Oliwat Kokiwat

Main Character(s): Oliwat Kokiwat, Clatterpouch the Mammet, Clang the Chocobo

Side Character(s): 81st Maelstrom Foreign Levy (season 1), Edda Vincents, Gwannes Okeswell, the Twin Fang Shipping Company (season 2).

Type of Anime (Demographic, Genre, etc): Action-Adventure, Comedy

Opening Theme:
Show Content

The opening sequence is composed of black silhouettes of Oliwat, Clatterpouch, and Clang, imposed on brightly-colored backgrounds, meeting each other before going on various, quickly-summarized adventures that usually have to do with stealing what appear to be Letters from chests in various dungeons. Almost as soon as they retrieve what they came for, they are promptly chased away by some large guardian monster. Various other characters from Oliwat's life make cameos throughout. During the last section of the opening theme, they pull all the letters together into the middle of the screen, and squabble with each other while arranging the letters into the show's title. With one final musical flair, Oliwat and Clatterpouch lean against both sides of "OK," and Clang sticks his head up from behind, and rests it on top of both letters.

Ending Theme:
Show Content

The ending sequence is comprised of various watercolor stills of Oliwat and the people he knows going on peaceful or humorous day-to-day misadventures, such as lazing around a tavern, catching way-too-big-and-possibly-deadly fish in Limsa, setting the hair of one of his friends on fire, growing flowers, playing instruments, caring for chocobos, racing said chocobos, and other such things. The last shot is Oliwat and the members of the Twin Fang shipping company standing on a Goblet rooftop, backs to the audience, while watching the sun set over the mountains. Slowly, each character fades away in pairs, until Oliwat and Clatterpouch are the only ones on the rooftop by the last note of the ending theme.

Main Villains (If your anime has any): None (at least not yet). The show is mostly episodic with minimal continuity.

Premise: When Oliwat Kokiwat, the Very Last of the Rattlepacks, finally works up the courage to become an adventurer like the rest of his (now missing) family, he finds that the outside world is much more than he bargained for. From monsters and mayhem to fast-friends and foolish adventures, Oli's life has certainly taken a turn for the more interesting, if not for the better. From one place to the next with his Mammet and Chocobo at his side, join Oliwat as he records the secrets of Eorzea, attempts to find his family, and figure out just what that whole Life thing is supposed to be about, anyway.

Other Info (if any): At the end of each episode is a two to five minute short called the "Clang and Clatterpouch Silliness Side-Show," featuring Clang and Clatterpouch in questionably-canon slapstick situations. The shorts are done in a style reminiscent to the golden age of animation.
You know how some shows have these little unrelated little segments? I think Delial's thing would be that. A brief, maybe 2 minute thing where she goes on a horrifically bad blind date with a random person of the week.
One week she might go to some swanky place with, say, Askier and someone ends up dead because he "accidentally" threw firecrackers all over the place and someone drank theirs.

Another week, Gharen might get arrested mid-date (illegal chocobo parking??) and she has to pay his bail. (Or get arrested as well. But for a boy?! PSHHH.)
Anime Name: Astral Moon: The Silver Wolves

Main Character(s): Kiht Jakkya and the members of the "Shroudwolf Clan" FC.

Type of Anime (Demographic, Genre, etc): Action, Adventure, Fantasy.

Opening Theme: Opening Theme would be something like the clash of metal and Celtic music used in Fairy Tail. Below is an example.



Ending Theme: Ending Theme would be more dramatic slower-paced Celtic music. Example below.




Main Villains (If your anime has any): The anime would have villains/antagonists, but each arc would likely have different villains/antagonists.

Premise: Kiht Jakkya and her small group of Miqo'te all come from different backgrounds, and have survived different hardships. One thing they have in common is a desire to build a small unified community and culture then thrive in the Seventh Astral Era. Forced to live outside of their home, they fight to overcome their past, and do adventurer's work in hopes of one day returning to life in their home, the Twelveswood.

However, it is not so easy. Kiht herself must free some of her family from slavery before she can rest, and many others in the group have "demons" from their past they must turn and face before they can move into a new future.

Other Info (if any): The graphics and visuals would hold true to Final Fantasy 14, but the story style would be very much like Hunter X Hunter. A cast of important characters with various goals, but a unified cause. For example, the show would not be afraid to show comedy and light-hearted moments, but it would also show dark, graphic and dramatic scenes as well with no shame. The action/combat and physics would be more on the level of Prince Mononoke. For instance, characters would -not- fight like in a shounen anime where anything can be achieved with the power of friendship and will (and obvious plot armor). Like the two animes referenced, the characters would -not- just overpower everything. They would need to work towards their goals, and would not always succeed.
Sure why not?

Anime Name: Mad Blade, Shatter

Main Character(s): Miya Sakihi and Kiki the Chocobo

Side Character(s): Guest stars from random people throughout the world.

Type of Anime (Demographic, Genre, etc): Mature audiences, violent, psychological, supernatural.

Opening Theme: Would simply be her walking beside her Chocobo. Her axe over her shoulders while walking through a battlefield. [youtube]4-PkAQcuZOw[/youtube]

Ending Theme: The end would start by her walking slowly towards the camera. Her head down low and her axe held firmly in a limp arm. She would be wounded and after a while she'd move slower and slower until falling down. The music would die out slowly and end with her eyes gone dull and empty.
[youtube]t_JEMyIa_dM[/youtube]

Main Antagonist/Villain(s) (If your anime has any):

The Imperials of course! And the odd beastman here and there.

Premise:

The prequel to the fight of her life. Each battle leading up to that fateful day. With her faithful companion, Kiki. She finds herself in battles from brigands and pirates to thieves and the odd lawman as she makes her way through life, until the final clash before the calamity where one can lose more than their physical life, but their past as well.

Other Info (if any):

Just a lead up to now I guess it would be. How she lost her memories of who she one was, all she knows now is her body can wield an axe nearly her size and a big yellow bird with a collar.
Anime Name: Red Wing

Main Character(s): Erik, Cian, Hostum

Side Character(s): Captain Monroe, Fury, Montblanc, Tellah Fortemps

Type of Anime (Demographic, Genre, etc): 14-30, Military/Drama/coming-of-age

Opening Theme: Starts out watching a sunset, as the sun disappears the title fades in only to see two soldiers riding Chocobos from the foreground toward the background. Then it would cut to Erik standing on a ledge looking out over the desert, looking back to see a vision of Ala Mhigo in his mind's eye. The next would be standard fair, waling in rain, other cast members being shown, ending in him sitting in some gods forsaken foxhole in some battle, maybe a tear in his eye, then wiping it away as the chorus of the song kicks in and rushing from the hole into the heat of battle. Que over the top, well animated fight scene where he is doing amazing moves, killing like a 100 soldiers, shit he never does in the show, aided by all the cast. It ends with him covered in blood looking all emo-sad again only to look up and see everyone smiling and Cian offering him a hand up. He stands, turns around and there they all stand on the ledge he starts the song on, now they all look out over the desert to see the hope of tomorrow together in the form of the sun, now rising instead of setting. All this epicness to the tune of Gackt's "Through the Decade".



Ending Theme: Something to denote the action and drama both. I can see the opening showing him walking first a young man through the forest alone. As he walks Cian runs up and joins him and they seem to age a bit, and the background turns to a desert. As he walks its a non changing steady pace, and as he does walk more and more join him, showing over time he isnt alone anymore. At the the end as the whole cast is there he looks to them then off into the distance. Mikuni Shimokawa "Alone".



Main Antagonist/Villain(s) (If your anime has any): An old family enemy, Garleans (I mean really... who else would there be?)

Premise:
An anime based on Erik's life starting as a Flame all the way to the current time in game.
Anime Name: FFXIV: A Flower Shop Reborn

Main Character(s): Rhela Awandih(Well duh!), Lend'a Awandih, Kisumi Nekozawa, X'khai Tia, Raik Samil

Side Character(s): Gus Pumpkinweed.. other people whom I can't think of.. cough

Type of Anime (Demographic, Genre, etc): Shonen..? Sci-Fi Fantasy, Comedy, Adventure

Opening Theme:[youtube]4IUjtHf76wM[/youtube]
So.. the main theme would probably be 19-2000 or something else with a lighter mood like it. The theme's sequence itself would most likely just show each of the main character and some of the side characters doin' everyday stuff like.. shopping? I dunno.. 
Ending Theme:[youtube]04mfKJWDSzI[/youtube]
On Melancholy Hill would, in my opinion, be the best choice for its ending sequence, accompanied with a more relaxed look at the different characters as the sun sets, ending their day. Compared to the opening, the closing would be slower, possibly with all of the characters coming together instead of each individual doing their thing..
Main Antagonist/Villain(s) (If your anime has any): No MAIN antagonists, though the Garlean Empire is seen as an overarching evil throughout the series. If there are any "villians" in an episode, chances are that they aren't truly evil.. like, rival-esque.

Premise: In a time where everything is bleak, once-noble empires are falling inward, and people are dying from war.. one thing shines a light on Eorzia: a small flower shop located off in the Shroud! Aimed at bringing happiness and flowers, Rhela Awandih and her friends are here to help!


FFXIV: A Flower Shop Reborn would revolve around multiple Eorzian characters going through life and ending up in some rather lore-bending situations! Everything from leading a full-on barrage into Amalj'aa territory to give flowers away or getting lost in the snowy Coerthas with only a single coat to stay warm.. the "fun" never stops!

Other Info (if any): FFXIV:AFR would be done in a style similar to most modern-day children shows, where episodes usually do not cross or have impact on another. Bigger things, like characters exiting the series, WOULD stay consistent!
Anime Name: Journey of a Blue Wolf ( Tabi no Aoi Okami)

Main Character(s): Azureus Galthens, Shio Yukimori

Side Character(s): Ramsus Galthens, Minerva Galthens, Regnum Garlmald (fc), Kimiko Yukimura,

Type of Anime (Demographic, Genre, etc): 17+ , Adventure, supernatural, magic, drama, action

Opening Theme:



Ending Theme:



Main Antagonist/Villain(s) (If your anime has any):

Umbra (Oc Villain)

Premise: Azureus is a young garlean noble who ran away from home to find his brother was placed in Eorzea from the military. Along the way he meets a Doman who is vengeful towards Garlemald and Garleans for what happened to Doma. An evil voidsent lady (umbra) as joke uses her dark magic to bind them together. In order to become unbound they must find her and defeat her. The twist is that if one dies.. the other dies to. so they have no choice but to work together.

Other Info (if any):
