Beautiful, Absolutely Beautiful

A while ago, Adwin sent me a link to a flash video. Now then, since the flash thing didn’t show up properly for me, I had no idea what is was because it was missing text. After seeing the same thin posted a few times, like at CAA and Slashdot, I decided to take a look. Turns out it’s the entire ending to FFVI with the characters replaced with consoles. Watching the half hour spectacle that is Final Fantasy VI’s ending again brought warm feelings to my heart. In addition to being an amazingly cool concept, it just reminded me how much FFVI owns all the other Final Fantasies. FFVII’s ending is what? Ten minutes at most? FFVI was half an hour. FFVI’s ending is a masterpiece and it manages to be a better ending than the new fangled 3D FFs without the 3D FMVs that they so rely on. This goes to show that substance pulverises style anyday.
