A Question

 Of late, it has occurred to me that I didn't do the best job with my To the Moon commentary. Hardly surprising; it was my first serious foray into literary criticism, and as such, it was quite easy to miss some details and misjudge others. It's certainly quite lacking in polish and insight I could offer it today...should I chose to revisit it. However, I don't wish to do so without some genuine interest. So here's where I ask: should I redo my To the Moon commentary?

But that made me ponder what I liked about it, and I think I have found a rather simple, if seemingly contrarian answer: Final Fantasy 6 is a story about losers. Think about it. Terra, the very first protagonist we're introduced to, is a vacuous woman who constantly struggles with doubts about herself and her decisions. Locke, well, he constantly has complexes over a girlfriend who died ages ago and whose corpse he constantly preserves in a basement attended to by a creepy guy. Edgar? Sabin?

Some screenshots from Aria of Sorrow Castle B

 Ever since I played Harmony of Dissonance, I always wondered what a moody and hellish version of Aria of Sorrow's castle would look like, ala Castle B of the former game.

Screenshots below: Let me know what you think! As for the next post of A Long Look at To the Moon: it's coming soon. Stay tuned!
