Anima Prime: Steambots and Megaswords (draft versions were subtitled Fantasy Story Game) is a roleplaying game inspired by anime, especially the Final Fantasy X video game. Character creation involves choosing a passion (from a list) and three descriptive character traits that grant rerolls when "marked" (by playing a character scene). There is a skill list, and characters have wound circles, an action pool, and a charge pool (that fuels powers). Includes skill lists, powers, and rules for summoning eidolons. Conflict is run by describing maneuvers (based on skills) that gain attack (strike) or charge dice. The sample setting ("Ghostfield") is a haunted land where gates open into the floating world of the Beyond, and includes gaming fiction and sample characters.

Publisher's blurb for the 1st edition:

Anima Prime is a fast-paced, spontaneous roleplaying game inspired by the Final Fantasy series of video games as well as Avatar: The Last Airbender and other animated shows and movies.

Anima Prime combines narrative freedom in character scenes and combat maneuvers with elemental powers, Soulbound Weapons, and the summoning of Eidolons to allow you to create your own stories and action scenes rivaling those usually seen in video game cut scenes and anime battles. A flexible goal system lets you infuse any fight with meaningful story decision points and unlimited tactical options!
