[up][up] I actually kinda liked Season 1 and I fully agree with you. I also really liked this FFVIIA.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

I really liked FF 7 MA, but I haven't actually played FF 7, so what would I know?

VII is probably the only abridged series where I think its better to watch it without playing the original.

I'm also disappointed that VII gets so many parodies while 8 and 9, which are equally if not even more absurd, barely get any. I mean FF 8 had a giant yellow testicle monster running the school that the main characters were at, in secret. And let's not even start on how silly Laguna's adventures are. It's ripe for abridging.

It's because 7's the famous one, where most everyone knows what goes on in it even without having played the game. 8 isn't nearly as popular (quite rightfully), and 9 isn't all that serious to begin with.

Not to mention, 8 is everything wrong with 90s anti-heroes, wrapped up into one edgy emo muddatruckin' Squall Leonhart.

Just another symptom of FFVII's disproportionate popularity compared to the rest of the series.

9 is actually deceptively serious, and outright once you get into it.

It just doesnt have big problems shifting into comical tones like ff8.

(and spoony's review back in the day almost felt like a riff anyway)

Never finished a mainline FF game. Only all the Tactics.

Played 3, 4, 6, 7 before I decided to stop trying. Oh, and the DS spinoff of 12.

Bad wording on my part. Maybe it's better to say it's a lot like Iron Man was to the Dark Knight Trilogy, where back when TDK had just come out and people were all over these darker takes on superheroes, Iron Man came along and had a lighter tone while still proving to be an incredible movie. In the days when RP Gs were dark and edgy like FF 7 and 8, 9 came along and was light-hearted and fun while still having serious moments (like the attacks on Burmecia and Lindblum, everything involving Vivi, and the final confrontation that isn't the Giant Space Flea from Nowhere).

It is sad to think that not only will this mean there will be a possibly indefinite hiatus, but also in another few months the sun will rise Hellsing Ultimate Abridged will be over as well...

Well...potentially. But the hiatus was a good thing.

The hiatus was good, in that it means that they might come back to Abridge the Buu Saga at some point in the future. If not for the hiatus, they would've quit DBZA forever after the Cell Saga finale.

As long as any future hiatus isn't a literal year I'm good.

I think they come back to do Buu. I doubt the hiatus lasts another year (the hiatus between 30 and 31 was only a few months, so it wasn't much of a hiatus), but I really do think they come back and finish the story Z told.

Hearing Lani talk about how awesome and humbling it is to get so much love from people in the twitch chat despite how long it took this episode to come out warms my heart. You can hear how much love and effort they all put into this series over the years, and I'm glad that they never let the more entitled "fans" get to them.

I loved the episode, but I already know that there will probably be some people unhappy with what they did with 16's speech. I personally loved it, but I can see how some people might not.
