I know the guy has moved onto bigger and better stuff, but I have to say, it was very very disappointing compared to the first 2. For one, the thing is short, and most of the video was made up of the starry intro and the end scene.
Also what happened to the extravagance of the first 2? Now we have a really contained fight scene with only two characters that look to be using the exact same fighting styles.
And not to nit pick, but the materia dropping was very cheesy, and in FF7, the materia was stored in weapons and accessories, not stuck in her throat.
@Scazza: I was thinking the same thing, about the materia... Where the hell is she keeping it? And HOW ON EARTH CAN SHE POSSIBLY CARRY THAT MANY AT ONCE?
I saw Haloid, and enjoyed it for the cheesy cartoon that it was.
Then I saw Dead Fantasy, which was essentially a re-hash of Haloid, but with new characters. I appreciated it too, why not? They were fun and exciting.
Then, Dead Fantasy II came out, and all I had to ask was "Why?". It didn't bring anything new to the table, it's age was showing, and it went on for far too long.
And, now, Dead Fantasy III comes out. This entry highlights exactly how pathetic the series has gotten. Without significant new characters, or over-the-top action, the awful character animations, choppy rendering, and poorly-choreographed (When not blatantly "borrowed" from other series) fight scenes stand out. I'm pretty sure no sane person can figure out why he's still making these.
This is such incredible fanboy wankery. I could barely stand to watch the first one, and that Haloid thing was complete bullshit.
It sickens me to see someone basically steal someone elses characters, right out rip off movie action scenes and have this thing heralded as the second coming of Christ.
And why is it that it seems like I'm the only one that realizes this?
@omgJOHN: I will agree that haloid was shit. the rest of your argument is unwarranted, unnecessary hating. these shorts are very well animated, considering he does all by himself, and his lesser know Icarus short is, at least in my opinion, a work of art.
Yeah this video was pretty good but short compared to his 2nd one. But it makes sense, we'll probably see a couple other short vids seeing how the 2nd dead fantasy ended.
Cool...this is by the same guy who did the Halo/Metroid cross over where a female Spartan and Samus duke it out John woo style until they have to team up to take out some mutual baddies.
