Near perfection.
You are my new flash hero. Honestly, not only did you manage to create an 18 chapter flash of complete ownage, but you've also made it something enjoyable from beginning to end. I couldn't've asked for a better finale.
Your flash making has real great potential, I can really see you going places in the future, if that's your goal. Your flash had real style! Although there were some majoy differences in the last one compared to the others, it never decreased the overall effect of your great series, or your great 18th chapter.
I can't believe you've managed to make a half hour long flash! I mean, it must've been real hard work. How long did it take, and, how many frames? If you don't mind my asking..
Even though it's clear you've put A LOT of effort into making this superb flash, there were some highly noticible things in it that are in need of some fixing. I'll do them here in a list:
1) Your subtitles are slower than they should be. By the time the character has finished their sentence your subtitles are still stuck on the first part, and we have to wait that much longer to read them. Try to sync it better with the lyrics. It's not a huge deal though, just something that could make it even better than it already is.
2) Your lip sync needs some major tuning. There were countless times where the character's mouth would either still be going after they had done talking, or where their mouth would stop moving even while the sentence was going. Once again, this is not a huge deal but fixing it would make this flash much better.
3) There were some highly noticible changes in the way you've drawn some of the major characters. Perhaps you could make it so they look like they did in all the others. Although this isn't near as important as the other suggestions, it's still something you should consider changing.
These three problems are only minor techinicalities, and I never said them to discourage you, but rather to encourage you to see things through more clearly and to make your already excellent flash that much better. I really enjoyed it!
You've truly made a flash series far superior to anything existant on Newgrounds. This beats Bitey of Brackenwood by a longshot! I don't what the username database has configured, I think you deserve to be ranked best in Newgrounds!
As well, I can't stand to see you end off this series! Please, you have to consider making a new series, a XIN two, for say. There are some things I could suggest to you that could make a great sequel to XIN, for instance, maybe the school order could get out of hand once again because the students aren't used to this new way, and XIN and the gang would have to put things back in order? Well, not my flash, but still! Think of something, please! You can't let this superiour flash series die on me!
I also couldn't believe I saw three people that easily seemed to be rivals to me teaming up on Dimir like that! Excellent twist! You've truly got a nack for script-writing, not to mention flash-making! You've really done a great job and I am ultimatly impressed! Wow!
You should be really proud of yourself, you've outdone anything on Newgrounds by a longshot, and you deserve a nice pat on the back.
Congratulations, you've truly made something that will last on Newgrounds, and flash artists fans, forever!
