This Fantasy Isn’t Close to Final
It’s been a year and a quarter since Monty Oum released the last installment of Dead Fantasy, his shockingly awesome videogame fan movie cat-fight between the ladies of Final Fantasy and the ladies of Dead or Alive. This third installment takes it back a notch, focusing only on the rumble between Tifa and Hitomi in a burning church (yes, that is a step back for Dead Fantasy). As usual, the fight tops virtually any animated fight scene you’ve ever seen, and most live-action fights as well; plus, there’s plenty for the nerds, such as Hitomi literally beating the materia out of Tifa (although I hate when my gal Tifa gets hurt, I have to admit I nerdgasmed a bit). If you haven’t seen part II, I highly recommend you watch that immediately afterwards.
