Amazing!
I first watched this animation when you first came out with it, and even when I re-watch it now, years later, I found myself enjoying it just as much, if not more.
This animation can easily appeal to FF Fans as it does non FF fans. Hell, when I first watched it, I had pretty much no idea what it was. If I put some thought into it, I think this animation might have been the cause of me BECOMING a fan of Final Fantasy later on. Then, as of now, I found myself deeply enjoying the animation.
You have told us that you have no intention of creating a sequel or a game, mostly because most producers can't live to to the hype of the crowd and fail. While I do agree with this, I still find myself wanting to play or watch something that has this mood of the animation or game.
But I digress. Once again, I find myself pleased with the effort that you put into this animation, and you have gone far and beyond the expectations that most people have of amateur animation. And to end on a side note, I agree with Jak777, and I wish I went to a school like this.
