Thanks

you don't have to look far, nearly all of it is on this site :P

I'm surprised you didn't let Brian market ChieSnowfall on the main page of NPF along with the others -- it's by far my favorite of your works, with the notable exception of one of my Commissions. (Hint = Avatar.) =)

What I still don't get is the dark god thing guy who spoke to blm in his dreams. What was that about? It didn't really go anywhere, and blm never really got many blue magic spells.

MSperoni · 06-02-2010, 09:14 PM

I'm not as keen on the Chie one as those others actually, besides it's kind of an "old way" of CGing for me and so I didn't think it was as representative of the style I'm at now.. My favorites are Fang Lin wallpaper, then Doji and then FRANNY.. I WOULD have her up there but noooooo.... you just gotta have her all to yourself!

ED: Hurry up and post again Snake! You'll be at 2000 posts!!

FizzKittyX17 · 06-02-2010, 09:21 PM

Or post twice and you'll be... over 2000!!!

MSperoni · 06-02-2010, 09:51 PM

Exactly 2000 is more cooler than 2001

Hey now. If he is considering drawing something, it should be something all out.

He should draw a scene from CoM,CoL.

AWESOME! More awesome than my keenest imaginations!! I would have never thought, that it would... as awesome as this!!!

White Mage is drawn wonderfully, how everything was warped up was perfect and and the countless references to other Final Fantasy game made the fangirl inside me Squee!

Especially when they find out that the FFIX spot has already been taken by a (monkey) warrior and a (philosophic) black mage! XD

And the last sentence... OMG, it's a cricle!! An endless circle!!

You know what? You should set a "Back to first button" on this page, where the "Next" button was on every other one. This would turn this comic into an archive-binge curse which YOU CAN'T ESCAPE! MUHAHAHAH!

Thank you, Brian! Thank you Matt! You are my Webcomic heroes! ^^

Yet another person who failed to set an account on these forums before the end.
I am absolutely delighted with the ending. It closed all questions about the future of most characters (for whom the almost destruction of the universe didn't have an effect, it seems).
It has been a long series. 1225comics (not including filler) and overall, I have mixed emotions.
Firstly, it has been brilliant, a great series of laughs and to follow the parabole of many people out there, it has effected my life. I wasn't depressed or some such, just cynical. I still am but well, how I deal with the world has changed simply from the antics of four destructive adventurers...and several morons, and some geniuses. The comic has provided so much amusement over the time it has run, and provided such capability of being a long, comedic series without descending into not being very funny, as many sketch shows do (just to use a comedic genre, I'm not calling 8-bit a sketch show). The epilogue perfectly closed loose ends, as I said, but it also honoured the style, providing the same brands of humour and strangeness. Along with jokes that weren't possible with sprites.
On the other hand, I'm very sad to see it end, but it must. Like preserving an old dog's life, you want to, you want as much time as possible with your old friend but it's cruel to keep it alive and it needs to end. However, like many great things, I'm sure fans will produce various fanfics or other such items, and some may attain to the high (actually, I'm not sure whether 8bit was high brow) standards I've come to find. Those will amuse me.
Still - if anyone wants to necro this series, go animate every comic past 36 (since up to that point has been put into amimated episodes). There, I've just filled your life for a few years. In fact, if you want to really go the full mile, animate in speroni-style. Go on, I dare you, surpass your master and comedian.

I'll admit I did cry a bit (manly tears) when I read it. Hard to believe it's really over.
All I can say is thank you Brian, Matt, Jeff and everyone even remotely involved!
This comic is as much a part of me as it is of you and anyone else who posted in this thread, I wish you all the very best in whatever future endeavours you may undertake.

Also, am I the only one who noticed the cat coffee poster (episode 133) in the fourth panel? And who are the two individuals sitting below it?

Regards.
