Dead or Alive vs Final Fantasy


I watched this movie a year ago through a friend when i went to her house but i haven't had a chance to blog it because it only have one episode. A while ago a friend of kim sent a link of a movie clip on his messenger. We started to watch the 15 min. mini movie with a very poor quality on youtube then i remember the website where i first saw it. So what is it the movie i am talking about? DEAD FANTASY!

Dead Fantasy is a fan made masterpiece of Monty Oum, a short action pack video combining characters mainly from Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive. Currently it already have five episode and I'm still waiting for the next episode to come out. The first installment of Dead fantasy posted last October 2007 and introduces the first six female characters of the series battling inside and outside a temple situated on the top of a tower.
