I think I liked it better when there were epic, better coordinated fight scenes in Dead Fantasies I and II. Watching Tifa come in at the last moment to save Yuna and Rikku's arses while Hitomi, Ayane, and Kasumi pretty much dished it out to them brought out the tomboyish fangirl in me.
But to me the way he laid out his stories specifically through flashbacks in III through IV felt highly convoluted and misplaced. I could hardly keep up with this (in my opinion) poorly executed way of storytelling. Relying on fragmented phrases kind of made it distracting for me to focus on the combat (which was significantly more drawn out and a tad more awkward, meaning the way he coordinated the movements) AND the storyline at the same time.
If he finds a way to balance that in future installments then I'll be much more pleased. As it stands the latest installments were at best, average to me because of the aforementioned reasons.
