Final Fantasy VI, Introduction
The beginning of 1994 role-playing game Final Fantasy VI shows Biggs and Wedge escorting the magical, mind-controlled Terra to Narshe, a city they plan to raid. The trios march through the dark, snowy night is foreboding in this context, with snow providing both cover for impending bad behavior and an appropriate chill. Sometimes snow is a specter, cooling us and our memories.
Poem: “Of course there is nothing the matter with the stars / It is my emptiness among them / While they drift farther away in the invisible morning.” – “In The Winter of My Thirty-Eighth Year,” W.S. Merwin
Do you love snow, do you hate it? Let me know.
