Those little characters look so out of place next to that graphic, beautifully detail painting of the dead snake

that was part of the charm. At the time it made these events feel more shocking, to come from the genteel brightly colored chocobo farm and the village of Kalm into this.

You'd experienced the murders in ShinRa tower, escaped heroically and had a nice time wandering through the countryside before feeling sucked back into danger here.

Man, what a great early gaming experience.
