The animated series Final Fantasy: Black Mages Legacy, announced in 2021 and based on the Final Fantasy IX universe, advances to its production phase. EuroVisual will develop a first season of 10 episodes in 2D animation. The plot follows the children of the hero Bibi, the last dark mages, who live peacefully in Alexandria until a disturbing discovery by Koln suggests that their father's legacy reaches them.
EuroVisual bets on traditional 2D animation for the series 🎨
The EuroVisual studio has opted for a traditional 2D animation style for this project, with 22-minute episodes. This decision seeks to align the visual aspect with the character and scenario design characteristic of Final Fantasy IX. The production process involves artisanal work in drawing and frame animation, prioritizing expressiveness and detail over 3D or CGI techniques.

The plot kicks off when Koln finds Mel turned into a luxury ice cube. One might think that being the child of a legendary hero would give you some immunity to these domestic mishaps. But no, there they are, having to deal with hereditary curses instead of the electricity bill. A true reminder that, no matter how epic your lineage is, there can always be a bad day at the inn.
