Since when do parodies apply as copyright infringement?

That's 100% wrong. Parody regardless the purpose and use is legal. Non-profit/educational use of copyright is not automatically legal, but companies usually grant free use to such institutions.

This though, was not a parody at all. They weren't trying to make fun of FF, they were recreating it.

Copying something as this is wrong, but I actually like the video. Yeah the music didn't go good with it, but they sure made the video look like something it was intended to be.

Moving along now....

lol not only was the video not very original, but the music sounded like a classical song that has been flushed down a toilet, then screamed at, then recorded while all of that was going on.... not like I know what that would sound like >_>

I wouldn't risk getting sued for making something like that.

thats how the scene should have ended, with tifa kicking his ass limit break sytle! Theres no way you could ever avoid a law suit for that video, not even in Korea

I watched like 10 seconds of it, it sucks.
If I was SquareEnix I'd so for not only ripping off Final Fantasy VII, but making it look bad.
