I really like the idea of Anima as a final aeon...it makes so much sense, I wonder if Square meant to write into the plot or if I just missed it.
You describe the Ronso village so vividly that I wish it was included in the game.
Even the graffiti is telling, eh?
Poignant indeed.
I am wondering if you are setting something up, putting Lulu in the hot-spring.
Author's response
I think Seymour balked on using Mommy Dearest as the Final Aeon and decided to use her to help himself, instead. I'm not sure whether Square meant that or not.
As a matter of fact, I've been aiming for the hot-spring scene since before I wrote any other part of this story besides Lulu's little fireworks display way back in chapter 2. :)
