Well, being someone that almost exlcusivly makes FF videos, I'd like to comment on this if I can.
I know how frustrating it can be, to come up with something original in an FF video, especially where FF8 is concerned (for the reasons already stated). And I admit, most people go for the obvious when FF is concerned: FF8 - romance. FF9 - being alone, and determination. FF10/2 - giving something up, or enjoying what you have. You see the same ideas over and over again.
However, that doesn't mean that all the videos coming out now (or in the past little while) are definitly all the same. As I always tell myself, there are tons of things that can be done with FF that haven't been done before. All you need to do, is think of them, and try to create your vision.
As Ultima will tell you (who has seem some of my stuff I believe), there's a great deal that can be done with the FF series. All you need is the right idea, and a creative mind to relaise it
Ok, comments done *runs*
