That was great.
Good ol' tribute to FF, always a good laugh to watch these.
Reviews for "Black Mages 4"
I loved it. I thought the animation was great
Don't listen to these 8 bit naysayers. They don't own the copyright for making parodies of Final Fantasy. The drawings were great and everything had a great flow to it. I'm not a fan of voice actors because most of the time it's some 14 year old teenage kid who can't act and it ruins the whole thing. Keep up the good work.
HP yeah
I think I lost 100 hp laughing. This was pretty good, all FinalFantasyied out.
Um... ok?
That was kind of random and didn't have to much of a point to it. It was just some Final Fantasy characters bashing the crap out of each other, and the damage was just random numbers. I mean, two characters can run into each other and take 500 damage, but getting hit in the head with a staff does 20? And how many HP do these friggin guys have? It was just a bit too random and didn't have much of a story to it, but a few screw-ups, especially from fighter were slightly amusing.
P.S. Where did you get the remixed FF1 song?

It's by a japanese band called the Black Mages. Nobou Uematsu (spelling?) is in it. they just redo FF battle themes in rock style.
The one word that best describes this: Aleatory
Graphics: This was very well drawn. I am just not a big fan of the floating hands thing, i dont know why but i just dont like it. Everything else was done very well, the spell effects in particular.
Style: Definately something new, i'll give you that. It needed structure though. Random chaos is fun and everything, but at the end i felt like nothing was accomplished by watching that.
Sound: The sound track and sound effects were pretty good. only thing that brought you below a 7 was the lack of voice acting. also it was tedious trying to find the person with an open mouth so i knew who was speaking.
Violence: This sure had its fair share, and it was well done. Two reasons why i didn't give a 10: 1) all the action took place within a single camera shot. Action is always more intense when the view feels as though they are a part of it, and a single camera shot never provides that feeling. And 2) the action was frivolous, there was no point to it.
Interactivity: The menu at the end was cool, but i just have one question: how can an animated flash cartoon with no voice acting have outtakes????
Humor: You made me chuckle a few times, but i have read through 8-bit a few times and i am accustomed to the jokes.
This was a good flash and i enjoyed it, i just wish it had a point to it besides a blood bath.
