Requiem For A Final Fantasy
Category: Entertainment
Association: Final Fantasy VII (PS)
Made this a long long time ago, reworked some of the credits and brought to you at no cost to the consumer. The most epic final fantasy movie ever created.

Final Fantasy X - Simple & Clean
Category: Music
Association: Final Fantasy X (PS2)
A FFX AMV to the theme song of Kingdom Hearts, Simple and Clean. I made this a while back, and took me just an hour to make. I had it on youtube where it got 4.5/5 stars.
