The Epilogue: "Literally, your actual ass."

[Kurosen]

Sorry for the delay, guys! Hope you like it.

That was... fitting. Not the epic punch-line-to-end-all-punch-lines, not the epic anticlimax. Not a combination of the two. Just, it seems, the closest 8-bit is ever going to get to "And they lived happily ever after". Which, I think, is just fine.

And I loved the characters in the background. "Akbar's not useless tools". Wonderful.

Thanks, Brian.

I agree with Gem. Exactly the way it should go.


It was a fun ride.

At last. I'm not sure if it's due to the art or if it was intended, but the Light Warriors seem less like jerks now.

Now I can re-read the whole thing in the next 10 years.

"Sects buddies" is going to be something of the heh stories alone. Silly Red Mage and his wording. Looks like that slash stuff will live on beyond 8 bit too.

Overall it was really fitting, I don't know if I was the only one to see it but how for the last panels it was great seeing how everything was more like the first comics. It really does fit perfectly for an ending.

Thanks for the 9 years of an incredible journey with the bumbling four, may many more happen in what universes come from HIKYM and Warbot.

This was almost exactly what I was hoping for, awesome and thank you.

Love the characters in Matt's style too. Specially Fighter and Black Mage.

Any finale that doesn't end with all of the main characters stepping forth together into a door of light is bullshit.Ha ha, just kidding, it was a pretty great end. I'm not too familiar with the beginnings of all of the FF games, so which one was the final straw before they descended into bullshit?

But yeah, this was my first webcomic, so thanks for making it one of the best ones.

Are those freckles on White Mage?

Also I expected hand drawn Black Mage to be fatter

[PurpleMage]

I've waited a very long time for this, I've gone through my entire high school life and a couple years beyond with this comic. It was my first web-comic found and honestly will be dearly missed on my Tues/Thurs/Saturday schedule.

Epic comic, thank you so much Brian for all your dedication to your broke, angry, and nerdy fans. I appreciate it.

I had to tap into my reservoir of 8-bit nerdiness for a lot of this, but I think the whole "Doctor Unne's robe is yellow" thing was my proudestdorkiest moment.

The look of the Light Warriors and stuff I guess is now "8-bit canon" (went over the designs w/ Brian so he could approve 'em) but the minor background characters and stuff weren't in the script and I just tossed them in there as best I could think of them.. Like Akbar and Evil Princess Sara and Lefthandman Gary. So I guess if I fucked 'em up (cos you know how specific sprites are!) blame me

Yes those are freckles. She's Irish! (maybe?)


Black Mage has robes on and he's malnourished, not fat. It's grosser that way.
