I can't see this as anything else but a collection of traced slide shows nicely colored with some background music and voice acting...
For future episodes try adding at least some kind of animation and try to come out with a few camera angles of your own instead of using ones that fit the drawings that you traced..
And as bad as the low volume of the voice acting is, i think the worst part of this movie it's the huge file size...and what makes it worse is that this is a movie that could EASILY be at 2mb. Next time if you plan on including licensed MP3's change the export settings so you won't get such a big file size on your movies.

Excuse me but you missed a couple things when you wrote this review.
1. This was my first major flash movie.
2. None of the images were traced other than the basic models I used in a few scenes.
3. I'd like to see you make a better 3D X-Buster shot.
4. I'd also like to see you make a better MegaMan X cartoon that is entirley original.

Well I think anyone who was having high expectations for this flash will not be disappointed. The movie just as the first one was very well animated and the camera work was really good too.
It's always good having great voice actors because they help you with the athmosphere and bringing the characters to life. These guys did a great job, congrats to them.
And well now we'll have to wait for the 3rd part which without a doubt will be better than the first two.
Keep up the good work and good luck with your future projects.

but this could've easily had a file size of around 800kb if you knew anything about sound optimization...

What's going on here? why does the character's heads suddenly appears at the top of the screen? What's with the lame, sounds, animation story and this flash as a whole?

it's nothing we haven't seen before here in NG, it's just another collage of 16bit characters fighting for X reason...maybe you shoul've tried making the characters smaller or pick a bigger background so the fight wouldn't be so limited...

As amazing as the fighting scenes effects are, i think after 4 episodes they just start to look repetitive and too long to stand..the fact that half the movie you have no idea of what's going on during the fighting scenes makes it even harder..
You may not be using the same move twice in a fighting scene but when all you see it's the sprites bouncing all over the screen fighting in a pure DBZ style battle it's just hard to differientate..
Even the menus are seizure inducing, is it really necessary to avoid repeating the same color twice in a single menu? Sometimes the simpler stuff looks better...and when you have 5 colors just in the title you know it's too much..
I can't give a bad score to this flash because it's not a bad flash and you have stuck to this style along all the series, you can't change for the last episode...now for your next series I hope we can't see something different and not another story driven by crazy-fast-dbz battles..
GoodLuck..

Couldn't you pick an original title for your flash at least?

Mixing 8-bit sprites with custom sprites and 32-bit sprites will never look good...also try a better way to mix the song with the action, nobody wants to stare at a black screen for more than 5 seconds so you can show Link running when the song starts....
And crossover sprite movies...not very original even less when it's any of the Link-Megaman-Sonic-Mario combination...

why posting the same thing again? if you really care and want to make a tribute why not actually putting some effort into it?

"good glash(graphically at least)"
The characters and backgrounds were well drawn and nicely animated, and while it just relies on FF jokes we've seen before(fighter the dumb character)the story it's original....final fantasy and day care, i dont think anyone has done that before..
Now the sound and humor i think are the weakest spots in this flash, the voice acting for the Fighter was just too dry and emotionless, the one for the mages was better but the sound quality wasn't the best either...and the fighting music from FF just sounded like it was recorded with a microphone too..
The jokes, there weren't many, or at least good enough to make me smile...the crying baby part would've been funnier if the noise you picked wasn't so annoying...
All in all better than the crap that usually floods the portal, but maybe for your future projects you should pick someone to help you with the jokes and script...then ending was...blah...
GoodLuck
