Dead Fantasy

Dead Fantasy I came out a while ago back in 2007. When I first saw it on Gametrailers.com, I was amazed. I thought the trailer was for an upcoming game. To my letdown, I found out it was only a fan made movie (but a very well made one at that). The graphics are very professional, for a user made CG movie. The fight scenes were incredible and well thought out. The models for each character was very fine and smooth. However, the DoA characters looked much more appealing than the FF ones. Yuna's eyes looked messed up. Tifa's face doesn't look like her. As for the plot, we don't know what's going on, there is no vocal dialog between them, just fight sounds and over the top music.



DF II came out in March 2008. A movie of such a high quality takes well over a year for them to create (Monty Oum's site). The second one is even more epic than the first one. The fight scenes do not disappoint. Some more characters are introduced.



But what's amazing is that not one, not two, but three parts of the saga was released this year! DF 3, 4 and 5 came out last month. The plot is coming together a bit now. In #3, Tifa gets beaten down by Hitomi. What's odd about the 3rd onwards is that the characters aren't godlike anymore (they were giving each other everything they got and didn't seem to slow them down at all). Each of the characters now show signs of fatigue, and more interestingly, blood. Before, they shot and cut each other but they just got right back up. Now, everyone gets beaten to a bloody pulp.

I'm looking forward to #6 and stuff. Too bad it will come out NEXT YEAR TT.

Oh and where to watch it? Here it is.

SPOILERS

Yuna arrives in the beginning and gets ambushed by Ayane and Kasumi. Yuna's about to lose the 2v1 fight when Rikku arrives to even out the fight. The fight seems quite even until Hitomi arrives and kick the crap out of Yuna/Rikku. In the end of DF1, Tifa shows up and saves them.

In DFII, also the most epic one yet, they continue to fight nonstop. The fight scenes are really incredible. Tifa casts many spells from her materia, such as fire, ice, lighning, demi, haste, time, etc. Of course, the 3v3 doesnt last all that long, and another DoA character arrives (I don't know her name). When the 3v4 situation goes in the favor of DoA, FF gains two more allies, Rinoa and Kairi. Rinoa looked like an angel, she held the gunblade and a pair of wings. Kairi held the dual keyblade and smashed face. Towards the end, Rinoa splits them all up, making the 5v4 into a five 1v1 fights.

DFIII - Tifa vs Hitomi. Sadly, Tifa loses. Although the fight started out even, and Hitomi was poisoned, towards the end Tifa lost all of her materia and ended up losing the fight. In the end of the scene, they show Helena activating a bunch of Kasumi clones. This part confused me.

DFIV - Yuna vs Kasumi. Yuna fights Kasumi head on until a bunch of Kasumi clones appear. Yuna changes into summoning mode and calls on Shiva, Ifrit, Bahamut, and Unicorn. However, the overwhelming amount of clones mops the floor with the summons. When Yuna is just about to get slashed up, Cloud appears and saves her. They ride away together.

DFV - Tifa's story continues. Just when Tifa's knocked out of the house, a bunch of ninjas come after her. They chase her and pin her down. She puts up a good fight, killing about 30 ninjas or so. However, she gets brutally wounded and in the end, they take her away using a hellicopter.
