Where to begin.....well this is a rare thing- I've only done a handfull of animated pieces. Also I've never done pixel art before. So the result's not bad considering. This is inspired by the battle format of the old Final Fantasy games (pre FFVII). I say inspired- the details are not identical. There are still the standard ATB gauges with the addition of limit/overdrive/trance gauges- though these limit techniques don't appear until FFVI. The battle speed is actually acurate.

For the characters going anti-clockwise:

MetalSeadramon:

A digimon from the TV series, also appears in Digimon World 2. River of Power is one of his attacks. A mainstay of the Final Fantasy games is a boss or occasionally and enemy that is insanely powerful and whose sole purpose in life is to wipe out your party. Repeatedly.

Goku:

From the Dragonball Z universe. He's the martial artist/fighter of the group. This is a common job class of the FF games. His comands, jutsu and kai, roughly translate to technique and spirit energy respectively.

SlrMoon (Sailor Moon):

From the TV show and manga of the same name. Another mainstay of the FF games is one character who insists on getting KO'd every battle making you continually have revive them. That is until you get sick of wasting your phoenix downs or MP and let them stay dead. All of the commands that appear under the heading 'moon' are full or abrviated names of techniques she uses in the TV show. Moon Tiara Magic is her main attack at the beggining. The card command links her to Card Captor Sakura as Sakura uses magical cards.

D:

From Vampire Hunter D. He's the main fighter of the group who has the best attacks and is good at staying alive. Generally the one to finish of enemies. All of the commands under the sword heading are sword based attacks from various Final Fantasy games. Wakizashi is one of the Aeon Yojimbo's attacks from FFX. The comand option 'L-hand' is a reference to D's mysterious parasitic compation attached to his left hand. He's very helpfull with breaking sorceress enchantments and detecting enemies.

Kuja:

The villan from Final Fantasy IX. He's a red mage which in Final Fantasy means he uses both ofensive and defensive/healing magic- henc why the magic heading has the subdivisions black, white, time and blue- the traditional devisions of magic in the games. Most of the spells he has are common to most of the FF games, the exceptions are 'Sheild' from FFVII, 'double' and 'triple' from FFVIII and 'warp' and 'return' which come from the older games. Sheild equates to temporay invincibility hence why Kuja is the only one not wiped out by MetalSeadramon. 'Return' is one of those random spells that you never really use which has a very specific application. It's used to reset the battle to the begining- a very usefull way of getting the animation to loop. Kuja has the summon comand because in FFIX he nicks off with the heroine's summons.
