Unimpressive.
I can tell that you tried, but this just wasn't very good. However it wasnt really that bad either which is what makes it so annoying. It is just decent, yet very very boring. I mean that music spelled snorefest. Also your text was mundane and what the fuck, notice I said fuck not f*ck was up with Ifrit.... I think you messed up a little when you cut him out. Well it deserves to pass, but I dont think anyone will be really satisfied after watching this.
SLOOOOOOOW
Yeah, really good movie for the year 2001. The battle scene was too long and it was not funny at all. I was about to fall asleep during this.
I realize you tried to capture the essence
of final fantasy, but com on, this is supposed to be entertainment, too fucking boring...dont blam, but severly hurt this movie....break his legs...(the movie, not the pansy messenger boy) why doesnt the actual artist get his own ewgrounds ID?
Here here.
Hm, okay...
1) The text in the boxes gets a little annoying. It doesn't stay consistent. If you start bold, keep it bold. Excessive punctuation in many areas. It just sounded n00bish. It was kinda hard on the eyes in the end. Also, if you wanted to keep it Final Fantasy-esque, the sudden huge text size killed it. :(
2) You should probably add buttons on the text boxes. Some people read a lot faster than others. Just a tip. I could understand not using buttons if you were trying to synchronize the music with the animation, but it didn't look like you were trying to do that.
3) The animation. Argh. Okay, I see that you're using a South Park style. You should at least make them waddle instead of just dragging their feet magically across the grass. The attacks- especially Ifrit's- were poorly animated. However, that's what usually comes out of a static image.
4) Speaking of Ifrit's picture, we can see that white outline around him. It didn't look good with the rest of the movie, not to mention it was in another style. You should keep the styles the same, and probably draw your own South Park styled Ifrit. The way he (physically) attacked looked really bad.
5) The battle bar. What's up with that? The HP is lowering on the wrong side, and after some attacks it doesn't even lower. :P
6) The increasing bar looked bad with a rainbow gradient. Stood out like an eyesore. It was also obvious that it was a scrolling on top of everything else. Try masking on things like that. Could help ya. :) Limit bar never went up, but it doesn't always go up in the game for some things either, so no real complaint about that.
Anyways...
Other than all that, it was somewhat comical. The script was very random. Some things were just lame, but some things, like when Meg came out and just shot Ifrit after that long battle, were pretty funny. The cursing kinda made it sound real immature, though. I don't mind cursing, myself, but it wasn't cleverly put in the dialogue.
Tell your friend to read this. I'm guessing that you're new to flash, but that's alright. :D It's a good start. I see you have the basics down.
I hope you find this review more helpful than insulting. The tone may be too cruelly honest. I don't mean to bash you to death. :P <3
didn't hate it but didn't like it
The graphics were bad. It might've been better if you used real final fantasy characters. the only thing that looked good was ifrit.
The attack animations weren't funny and could've been better. The only thing that I thought was funny in this movie was when Meg shot ifrit in the head.
I also noticed all the music was from FFIX. Though nothing wrong with that, it might've made the movie a bit more interesting if you used a variety of soundtracks.
