| dc.description.abstract | This thesis takes a critical eye to the 1994 title Final Fantasy VI, and in particular, its famous opera scene. Using examples from prior works of opera, the scene is deconstructed in full, and its various literary elements are compared to those in traditional operas, to find points of congruence. These intersections serve as touch-points to begin framing intersections of appreciation between the two media, and aid in defining the toolkit one would need for engaging in game appreciation. | |
