• Comments: Right, personally I think the title is a little cheesy, but then I was grinning the entire time I made this AMV so I'm going to let it go.
  
  This was seriously fun to make. I don't know why, I got rather frustrated with the quality of footage I had (I know the AC stuff should have come out better!) and had to re-encode the whole thing five times because the timing kept stuffing up, but it was still such a fun project.
  Mostly because of the gay! oh noes!
  
  Yes, you read that right, there is implied yaoi/shounen-ai stuff happening here. There just aren't enough AMVs out there with a focus on the guy action - especially in the FF/KH AMV sections. I thought I would do the many shounen-ai fans out there a favour and make one.
  Not to say you couldn't ignore the implications if you wanted, but you'd have to try really hard. I'm not sure if this even counts as subtext any more with the way I edited the clips to this song.
  
  Speaking of the song, I did fiddle with it a bit - tempo's faster and I cut the intro. I'm sure Alice Cooper fans will shout "sacrilege!" but it works for the AMV, so tough.
  
  Right, the premise ... mortal enemies with something more between them than just their clashing swords? (not that there aren't clashing swords because everyone loves a good fight) It's very fanservice-y. I'm unashamed to admit it. Three awesome pairings (Seifer/Squall, Sephiroth/Cloud, Riku/Sora) rock music and pretty pictures, what's not to enjoy?
