I'd say we're victims of bad press who've all exadurated...

Time Started: 10:07

Haha, if you get the title reference you deserve major brownie points.
I'll give you a hint:

BUT WHEN YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL PIRATE....
...You don't have to wear a suit! ...What?

Type that into google, you'll find out 8D

So anywho, yesterday I found an amazing video of awesomeness:


BEFORE YOU WATCH IT, I need to explain the characters a bit. It's still a cool video, but without knowing the characters the song and dance don't make as much sense.

VANITAS is the one on your left as you watch, in front. The guy with the really slim looking waist and black hair. He's the darker half of VENTUS, the blond behind him, but got his appearance from SORA, the brunette on the right. This is because VENTUS and SORA merged hearts not long after VANITAS was extracted from VENTUS.
SORA is the main protagonist of the entire game and is one of the few characters to appear in every single game of the series; BBS, KH, COM, DAYS, KHII, and DDD. His nobody ROXAS is the blonde behind him, who is basically also SORA's darker half. ROXAS gets his appearance from VENTUS because, again, of the merged hearts.
So in other words, it's a mirror of a mirror of a mirror of a mirror, and by the end of KHII all of them are inside the "original", SORA.

I'm calling Sora the original because he's the only one left that wasn't genetically altered. Yeah, Ventus was real and technically born first, but to be fair the Ventus most people know and the first Ventus are two completely different people.

(Whatd'ya think, Kat? Did I explain that well enough? Not bad for going off a skimmed script, eh?)

So now that that's out of the way, enjoy:


I think it's really well done, personally. The song was brilliantly chosen, the Motion Data fits the tempo perfectly, and I especially love the camera angles. During the lyric "There's no mountain too great" I love how it showed Sora and Roxas with the mountain behind them.
Very, very well done. The synchronized movement gave me the mental image of invisible strings connecting Vani to Ven and Sora to Roxas. The very end was a nice touch in a way, too--them crossing through eachother as though Vanitas and Ventus were just ghosts the whole time. Which then makes me wonder: was Sora the only one really there? That would have been a really cool beginning, if instead of all of them starting, the other three slowly expand from within Sora.

Or maybe I'm just a geek with nothing better to do than to immediately recognize the song from the Original Cast Lion King on Broadway and--to quote Kat--"Fangasm" over something that probably took all of ten minutes to piece together using the exact same motion data on each model.

You decide.
