RE: [Chrono Trigger] The Brilliance of Trial Scene
Thanks for reading and this awesome comment, can you tell me more about Kafka-esque elements? I just recently knew who is kafka.
As for 90s era square I tend to agree, they had passion that's very obvious, not like these days where their passion isn't as obvious as before (maybe because they take too long for each game.)
Kafka wrote a novel entitled The Trial. In that novel, the protagonist K. is arrested suddenly in his home for a crime he knows nothing about, and his trial proceedings are about as opaque as the accusations against him. Heck, even finding his way to the courtroom was like navigating a labyrinth. The point of all the absurdity was how convoluted the justice system is and how the people sucked into it are mere cogs in a self-perpetuating machine that operates by its own arcane rules. There are plenty of other themes to draw out, too, but that one stuck with me.
Just a couple days ago, I found a wonderful post on Steemit by an author who actually met Kafka in person. Check it out!
You made me really want to read it. thanks for the recommendation!
