Penelo Is The Best Damn Thing

[sorasgurlkairi]

Lol i love vaan and penelo omg bfor i got this game i thought she was annyin cuz the stuff she says about cloud and squall in dissidia....and vaan does make some actions that sora makes :P

[GriffenMorivan]

Oh. Yay. The only FF game with a story above a fifth grade level, and it's been meshed in with a soulless pop song. Excellent. Great.

[ConanVictor]

<3 Penelo

[roxydeathnote]

I LOVE THIS VIIDEOO!!

[NoxFleuretStella]

I love this video!!!!!!!!!!!!

=)

[inonlydreams]

ohhh =] good with videos i see... i uhh rather suck... =] i can't even put the music on... =] lol great video. the one guy in the video reminds me of sora from kh. i've never played this game sorry =] great timing. =]

[zordan01]

Yes, I do realise how long ago you actually made this video, but I only just found it and had to comment.

This is brilliant. The way you've made the scenes play with the song is amazing. After watching this vid I am now addicted to the song for the time being, lol.

Great job mate.

[Vixen0705]

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!

CAPS LOCK - FOR THE WIN!

AS ARE MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!

(Ha; see what I did there? Situational irony - another thing for the win!)

Okay. I'm lame. I'll stop making bad jokes now.

[mmcmaken]

Does anyone know where I can find the clip of Penelo dancing in the forest? It is not on Blue Laguna. Any ideas?

[Vixen0705]

OMGSH - I have been wondering the same thing for ages!

I can ask around for you, though I can't offer any help on the spot.

Well, actually: file front, maybe?

That seems to ring a bell.

Dunno for sure, though.

But thanks for watching regardless! XD

[alchemyofecstasy]

xDDDDD

& penelos so shorttt its sexyyy. 8D

[alchemyofecstasy]

lmfao i love the scenes :54-:58

XDDD

[kairiXyuna94]

thats funny when lady ashe jumped into vaans arms awsome!!!!!!

[totallybonestar]

Oh my gosh, I LOVED THIS. <3 It's so awesome for a first video.

[Vixen0705]

GLOMPS

Thank You!

My apologies for neglecting this movie's comment board for so long!

(Why must reality interfere with fandom? Why?)

LOLZ - it's been, like, over a year since I made this ... with WMM, no less.

- shudders -

Vegas owns my soul now. Probably my first born, too, at this rate.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[MuteAngel]

I think I found some Penelo/Balthier hints? Was that deliberate? I hope so. Fabbo vid anyway.

[Vixen0705]

- nods vigorously -

Yes, indeed, it was deliberate!

(YAY - someone picked up on it!)

I think I was trying to convey the plausability (is that even a word?) of Penelo x ANYONE - which is one of the things I loved about FFXII, so much open ended canon fodder - and then transition to Vaan fuming or some such nonsense (or doing the same to her in return - because Vaan is the epitome of maturity, for sure.)

Thanks for commenting, dear!

Sorry it took me ages to reply to this comment!

[McKauhu]

Peneloooooh beeest :D

[ciscornBIG]

LOL

[TheHiddenMole]

Very well done for a first ever video! This must be the seventh time I've watched this XD

Anyway, how did you export it into a different file type? I got a laptop for Xmas this year and I made an AMV of Vaan X Penelo, but youtube won't accept WMV T.T

[Zull11]

oh man. the way penelo and basch run is so fucking ugly! penelo and vaan has a very fucking ugly haircut!! and penelo is the most hideous creature ever lived in a game!! and its ff12? previous ff has far far more better looking people than this .. thing.

[Shanna678]

I don't particularly care for this song but I really love how you did it. I cracked up in the first few seconds with the "hey hey ho", waving their arms thing.. I'm not sure if that was intentional but.. I don't know. I found it funny.

And this was your first video? Geez.. My first one looks like death and despair compared to your first. How long did it take you to make this, if you don't mind my asking?

P.S. Yes.. Yes, it is a monster.

[Vixen0705]

LOLZ!

Yes! The beginning 'hey hey ho' was most definitely intentional! I am so glad you picked up on it! :D

Yeah, this was my first attempt at a vid. I got so enamored by the entire concept (and therefore aggravated at WMM) that I went out and purchased Vegas shortly thereafter.

[Vixen0705]

Hm. Time spent making this vid. Let's see. (It's been over a year, lol, I have to think about this one.)

I believe I spent all of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on it (my laptop was my Christmas present that year, hence the obsession.)

I'm glad I spent those two days making this vid - whenever I watch it I always remember spending Christmas with my family. XD

(Ya know, when, like, I wasn't cursing off WMM. That wasn't very Christmas-like. Ha.)

[XxsnizmanxX]

that is not true

me and my brother both agree that it is impossible to keep her alive for more than thirty seconds during a boss fight

[Jpal213]

i love Avril!

[lolitadoll1203]

Awesomeness!!!!!!!!! Especially the cue when Penelo pulls out her money!

[Vixen0705]

LOLZ!

The coin scene!

I couldn't resist. I dare say that was the first clip that came to mind while listening to the song - only God knows why, though. XD

Thanks for the comment, m'dear!

[Jpal213]

wow this was your first video? props to you mate you did a killer job well done my friend kudos i shall subscribe to your awesomeness. ^_^

[Vixen0705]

You are my hero.

Thank you so much for the compliments - I did a very estranged happy dance as a result. And I think you deserve a batch of cookies. Or chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate.

And - omgsh - a sub? THANK YOU!

Words can not express my gratitude.

Let's get married. XD

[DeadlySakura]

awsome xD considering it a first vid it is really good. Windows Movie Maker is a monster xD and its worse for me cause my mouse double-clicks and its hard to make one :(

[Vixen0705]

I can't even begin to fathom trying to make a WMM movie with a double clicking mouse.

I had enough trouble with a single clicking one! XD

We could, um, do a mouse swap or something? For, like, a week? Ha ha ha. Somehow I doubt that will assuage all of WMM's other problems.

Thanks for the comment! And for watching!

MUCH LOVE

[midnightbelladonna]

Nice vid - you did really good, especially considering you were working with WMM, and we all know how horrible it is to use (it BROKE my last computer).

[Vixen0705]

WMM broke my BRAIN.

...I won't even begin to describe what it did to my COMPUTER.

(It wrecks havoc like no other program, I swear. LOL.)

Thank you so much for the watch and comment!

I truly appreciate it!

-glomps-

[kairixsoraxforever]

excellent video and don't worry we all know Windows Movie Maker is a monster lol keep up the good work!!

[Jheimzkie]

i luv penelo and i luv this vid

[Vixen0705]

And I love you!!!

Thank you for watching and commenting...and subscribing!

-tackleglomps-

I'm honored!!

[MitsuruAki]

Wow, this was really good for a first video! You did a kick ass job with the timing and everything. Definite fav right here!

[Vixen0705]

Why thank you!

That comment just made my day - I was always so insecure about the timing on this vid, especially since it was my first, but you have successfully obliterated all my fears with your lovely comment!

(Hugs)

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! It is much appreciated!

[BlehxIshxMe]

Ohmygosh, I must have favorited this video months ago, but I was on your profile on Fanfiction(I just finished reading one of your fictions :D) and I saw this on your profile!

Anyways, it was so greatly edited! We need more Penelo tributes; she's amazing.

[Vixen0705]

Aw, thank you so much!

(Hugs!)

I am honored you took the time to read my chicken scratch, LOLZ.

Thank you for complimenting my editing! I am quite embarassed of it now, seeing as though it was my first vid (with WMM, no less) and I kind of butchered the transitions, but I am so very pleased you liked it regardless! It makes me feel, like, ten times better. XD

Yes, Penelo is awesome. :D

And so are you! :DD

[BlehxIshxMe]

....Aw, you're so sweet. : )

And for being one of your first videos, it's still awesome.

[AvaGirl10Roses]

And there's a bit of LarsaxPenelo, if you care. :] Which is one of the few reasons I like this video... besides VaanxAshe. :]

Although, you reminded me that I liked Vaan and Penelo in the first five minutes of the game.

[Vixen0705]

Thank you so much for your comment! :D

Ha, I'm still not sure who I support more: LarsaXPenelo or VaanXPenelo. I like them both so much.

And then, of course, there's always VaanXAshe. XD

(Hugs.)

Thanks for watching, sweetie!

[sdrawkcabenniroc]

i really like this! awesome job!

[Vixen0705]

Thank you so much! SQUEE!

[soralover3]

Awesome job! :D

[Vixen0705]

Why thank you dearie! (Glomps.)

[xxmiranda93]

I am the best damb thing!

lol XD

But seriousley......I AM!!!

good vid 5/5

[Vixen0705]

XDDD Yes, you are. XDDDD

Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

(Hugs.)

[xxmiranda93]

XD XD XD hugs back!

[CureBlack94]

fantastic!!!

viva ff!!! ^^

[Vixen0705]

Thank you so much for your compliment! :D

And yes, long live Final Fantasy. <3

[lovemenot90]

Penelo is love! I'm really saddened by the fact that so many people hate her pixel guts. She receives so much hate in the fandom; I just don't get why people dislike her. No offense to any Ashe fans out there, but I find Penelo more likeable because she's genuinely sweet yet can hold her own at the same time. Spunk and bitchiness are not to be mistaken for the same thing. -is shot-

All in all, well-done.<3

[Vixen0705]

LOL!

"Spunk and bitchiness are not to be mistaken for the same thing."

Well said. (Even if I do like Ashe XD)

I don't know why there's such an intense hatred for Penelo. I didn't favor her when the game began, but quickly became converted with the aid of fanfiction.

I hear people say she's too much like a Mary Sue. A Cannon Sue, is it called?

I dunno. I think she's fine just the way she is. (Yay for Penelo!)

[TheonlyDoylie]

For your first video ever it was really really amazing. The first twenty or so seconds is when you really grab people's attention and you certainally grabbed mine. XD You could really hit the beats better but again.. your first. You impressed me. XD 4/5* and fav

[Vixen0705]

XDDDD

...ohmigosh!

I am so honored! I adore your videos and drool over them constantly! And for you to say /my/ attempt at a fanvid is "amazing" really just made, like, my life.

(Bows.)

And you offered good critique, too! I'll remember the 'twenty second rule' always.

Squeal! I'll work on my timing ;D

AND OH MY GOODNESS YOU FAVORITED IT?

(...swoons...)

[TheonlyDoylie]

-gigglesnort- Thanks, you're really sweet. XD Small world no? I was just looking for some Penelo <3 and well... XD But, yes. I really did enjoy this alot. And if this is a taste of what there is to come, I'll really be looking forward to your next videos. See you around the Tube!

PS. I am now addicted to this song. -laugh- It really fits Penelo all too well.

[Vixen0705]

XD Avril Lavigne!

I could send you the song if you like. :D

And yes, Penelo <3 is something that grows on you. I originally did not care for her, like, at all. And then I was converted to rabid Penelo fangirl-ism by some wonderfully penned fanfic and am currently making fanvids of a character I originally left twenty levels behind.

I still don't think she's forgiven me for that. XD

And, AAH! You wanna be my friend! (I accept! I accept!)

[Vixen0705]

(Continued)

Future videos! I'm working on one now, but it's on WMM, which means I want to consequently gorge my own eyeballs out. I'm ordering Sony Vegas Eight Premium, and I'm REALLY hoping it doesn't lag as much.

...Because Windows Movie Maker freezes to the point of subzero temperatures.

Sony Vegas doesn't lag like that, right?

(...prays fervently...)

[TheonlyDoylie]

Avril and I are cool now. I'm quickly becoming a fan, although she still has a few songs that makes me cringe. :laugh:

Of course I want to be your friend. XD

Vegas lags but in a far different less annoying way. I switched from WMM to Vegas last summer and I will never go back. O.o Ever.

[aorin107]

Wondeful video for your first attempt XD It's an adorable video, and kudos to your song choice, it's cute XP

You'll get use to that monster soon enough :) It's mean, it's annoying and you want to drive a few stabs at it's direction, but soon enough, you'll get use to him. *pets*

[Vixen0705]

(Glomps)

...aorin! The video mastermind! Likes my video! YAY!

Yes, WMM makes me want to punch kittens in the face. I suppose the feeling will subdue with time. Or with Sony Vegas Eight. XD

[HuesOfHazel]

Oh this was wonderful! Very good for your first time. I love it! You should make another one. =] ♥

Penelo is lloooovvveee~ <3

[Vixen0705]

Why thank you Hazel. :D

I'm very glad you enjoyed it. That makes me all warm and tingly inside. XD

Thank you so much for leaving a comment and watching my video!

And yes, Penelo is, indeed, love. <3

[HuesOfHazel]

No problem!

I just have a quick question that my inner fangirl is dying to have answered--just where are you getting your FFXII clips?! I can't find any anywhere. ;0;

[Vixen0705]

XD bluelaguna (dot) com.

Just go under cutscenes and FMVS at the top of the home page, and click on Final Fantasy XII. :D

It's got all sorts of RPG media.

Only, I can not find the FFX-2 non cinematic cutscenes anywhere! :(

You don't happen to know where I can find those, do you?

(PS: The nice thing about the FFXII clips from bluelaguna is that they lack subtitles. YAY.)

[HuesOfHazel]

FFX-2 clips? OH MAN, I WISH. Can't find any of those, either. Anywhere, EVER. And I've been looking for YEARS. *grr* Although to be honest I'm horrible when it comes to clip-hunting. XD;

And . . . HALLEUGHA!!! I love you!! *smothers you with lurve* Thank you SO MUCH!

[andromeda3116]

Vixen, I love you. Honestly, this was great.

(And I can fully see why you'd want to shoot this song after making a video of it. Once is fine, but I couldn't handle that. I mean, I can't even listen to Abracadabra anymore because I spent 2436251873 hours making that freakin' video and it nearly defeated me.)

Kudos to you (and your patience!) for this. It was wonderful, simply wonderful!

(P.S. PENELO ROCKS, WOO-HOO! YEAH!)

[Vixen0705]

WEEE! Grey watched my video!

(Insert happy dance here.)

And I am so glad you enjoyed it!

m(..)m

Ahem; that's me bowing.

And yes, 2436251873 is a lot of times to listen to THE SAME FRIGGIN SONG.

It's even better when your trying to edit a five second clip and have to hear the SAME EXACT LINE over and over and over and over again.

I'm so happy you enjoyed this! Thanks for the comment! :D

[angelsinflight14]

OMGSHOMGSHOMGSHOMGSH?!

Ahem. I will find something else to say shortly. I'm still in overjoyed shock. So:

OMGSHOMGSHOMGSHOMGSH.

A'ight. I'm better now. THAT WAS SO AWESOME. Yours is still in progress, I swear--I've just been internet-and-media deprived these last few days. I should be back soon--like tomorrow.

:3 Faved, rated, all that jazz.

[Vixen0705]

XD I'm glad you liked it!

Merry (late) Christmas!!!

Sorry it wasn't Kingdom Hearts, I lack the required media. XP

I'll send you my usual novel via email. ;D

[fightheskye]

i'm xsynthie, btw. xD

[fightheskye]

not too keen on the song (avrilllll? D:), but the video is ehm-aze-eeng. :D

[Vixen0705]

xsynthie!

(Glomps)

XD You like my video! YAY!

And...yes, Avril seemed like a good choice at first, but after hearing it 56,678 times, I must say, I cringe now, too, when I hear her name.

Squee! Totally sending a friend invite!

[Shmecky1280]

Heyyy Vixen. This is Constance. :]

Wryyy not put the song artist? xD And, the video looks good! :D Nice clip choices -- even though I've never played FFX... whatever it is. xD. Whoot. I will never be able to master WMM. ( Actually, I just can't be arsed to download all these clips. Ugh. )

[Shmecky1280]

This is my friend's account, btw. Xd Mine's 'gelupeh'.

[Vixen0705]

ohmigosh!

I will just have to friend you then XD

WMM is insane. My computer never froze so much in its entire life. Like, whoa.

Song artist? Oo I thought I put it at the end. Did I forget? oO

[Icyomgwtfbbq]

Penelo ftw!

My friends never understood why I adored her, (it might have to do with the fact they're all guys and too busy drooling over Ashe's pink skirt thing).

Awesome job for your first vid!

[Vixen0705]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and watch XD It makes me happy.

Yeah, I actually didn't favor Penelo until after I finished the game. I read some amazing fanfiction that fleshed her out more than SquareEnix did, thus forcing me to rewatch some of the cutscenes, and then all of the sudden I was converted to rabid Penelo fangirlism.

And Ashe does not wear a skirt. She wears a belt. XD

[astrangerenters]

Aww, you did a great job for this being your first video. My first video was absolute garbage. Very fun and adorable! Yay Penelo!

[Vixen0705]

YAY!

Thank you so much for posting on my LJ AND here! I did a happy dance of pure jubilation.

...andandand thank you so much for friending me! I accept! I accept! XDD
