Sometimes, something just comes along the way and blows your pants off.
And no, we're not talking about the Chief.
Initially, when we first came across the Dead Fantasy video, we thought it was a sort of cut-paste job where the creator took scenes from all over to make the video. After all, we never played either Final Fantasy nor Dead Or Alive enough to see every single cutscene or movie. But after a while into the movie we realized that it wasn't a paste job we were watching.
Watch this. Simply amazing. The gaya that you can find in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children or most anime is a-plenty in here.
It doesn't matter if you've never played Final Fantasy or Dead Or Alive before. When this video first came out last year we couldn't pick up our jaw. Every moment was pure impressive fighting (weapons fighting to be exact) with scenes and choreography that'll put any martial arts show to shame - mainly because there's plenty of unrealistic bits like whether gravity matters and the girls' unflagging strength and stamina.
Then again, it's just like a fighting game.
We only recognized the Final Fantasy characters, so you can't blame us for rooting solely for them and not for any of the Dead Or Alive girls (no, we didn't even watch the movie). Now that 4 minutes wasn't enough, and now part 2 is just out! 11 more minutes of pure pleasure. Interestingly the music for Dead Fantasy 2 is taken from Brian Tyler, who gave us the Children of Dune soundtrack as well!
Seems that there's another 5 more parts to wait for now. Oh joy.

But we are coming here for Chief story only.. HA HA.
Seem like you are a games master. :) card games, board games, video games, and etc etc.
Love Death Fantasy!
Love girls fighting!
Love all those gravity defying moves!
But who's the girl at last ah? Look familiar...
I'm sure Chief blew your pants off too... ogh, wait... was it the other way round? Pants off then blow?
Slurp! didn't recognize the Keyholder (Kingdom Hearts Character?) from the FF team. Then again, the axe lady probably is borrowed from Soul Caliber
Isn't that axe lady from Ninja Gaiden? Oh boy, those videos brought out the 15 year old in me.
Lifebook: Gamer yes, master no. :)
Jason, Henry Yeo & Faggotry: We only recognize the FFVII and FFX girls. The rest, check out Monty Oum's (the video creator) comments.
Alex: Must follow steps kah? :P
The last character to arrive is named Kairi ... and yes, she's from the Kingdom Hearts Series. She doesn't usually appear in Valor form, so to see that was really good. Usually it's only Sora that can Drive into Valor. I guess she's learned a thing or two - or maybe Monty Oum is just a master.
I'm waiting impatiently for the next episode to come out. Monty's hoping for May, but he thinks June or July (2009) is more likely.
