Can we call it FF:AC cosplay skit and get along? Except I get money from it?
(Long time lurker, first time poster. This is possibly old, but I found it too entertaining to pass off. If I happened to re-post something, mods feel free to delete, crowd feel free to point and laugh at me.)

Apperantly Square-Enix isn't happy. Strange really, because I can't see any similarities between
their Final Fantasy : Advent Children clips and this music video. Of course, I can't really comment on the possible ganking just yet as I yet to find a reliable source that confirmed the lawsuit, as well as first-hand confirmation of the classic excuse of "but we can't find their number!"

But it still didn't stop the comments from leaving a smile on my face. Really.

To be fair, I was expecting bigger wank consider "art thief", "Advent Children" and "youtube" are inevitably connected in this beautiful situation. But hey, there are still some beautiful gems.



First we have effusive Ivy fans.

thebuddybud: FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT THINK THIS IS A RIPOFF
check 00:35-00:38 at the bottom
IT SAYS THIS ACTION SCENE IS FROM final fantasy :advent children!!

YOU ARE ALL FUCKTARDS!!
PLUS the director of this video actually worked on the actual movie!!

AHAHAHAHA YOU ALL FEEL LIKE ASSHOLES, DON'T YOU?


thebuddybud: You are a fucking moron

Check 00:35

it says copyright of final fantasy advent children

you are a fucking moron

Because CAPLOCK + calling people fucktards = immediately you are right. Combined with "but they showed a three seconds long disclaimer hence the lacking of permission of creators is so not theft" logic. Funny that really, I wonder if it holds any water if the law (LOL?) suit actually occurs.

Then there's doom of copy pasta.

malomeat: Final Fantasy fanboy weeaboo.

Times four. In fact, this is this person's reply to just about everyone accused the plagiarism. Until s/he got distracted.


Of course, then there are the "fan arts are copying too you hypocrites!"

BlazeHedgehog : These comments are among some of the dumbest on Youtube. "OMG THEY RIPPED OFF ADVENT CHILDREN!!1111"

Who even cares? It looks cool. You might as well yell at everybody who draws fanart if you're going to complain about this.

Because you know, most fan artists goes around and make huge cash out of the fan work, in the scale of this particular video was.

And there just has to be racism. Preferably combined with "your cosplay suck!"

0ne10ve : wtf??
the little girl is sooo ugly and the guy is the worst cosplayer i have ever seen.
ivy is ugly as well... does she thinks she is as cute as tifa??
i hate korea... they just copy anything japanese and (not in this case) think they are the original.


Ebert's Law is raped with sandpaper:

EvilLilMonk:so she's not the only few in this world who does this. There are obviously others out there. Alot of things now a days aren't even originals but rip offs of songs used from the old days just cracked up with a load of crap on it. Although the song didn't match the video it was still alright. SO F**K OFF HATERS, YOU TRY AND MAKE A LIVE ACTION MV AS DECENT AS THIS WAS.

U has no rite to critecize becoz ur grammer sux:

ewwwrie : shut the fuck up, i know most people liked the video, and on the bottom it says that the vid is from final fantasy you dumbasses. and use correct grammar FOBS

And that's just a handful.


Surprisingly, or maybe disappointingly, there're minimal FF fan acting ever-so-slightly-too-verbal. Or maybe I'm looking into the wrong places. Hey, the comments are still rolling. We'll see.

EDIT: It was on clairvoyantwank, thank you reeve.

EDIT 2: And FFVII fans didn't disappoint. They have managed to blow their side of the story into wankolicious wank too. Lovely.
