This one really blew me away! As the others have said, the aesthetic is immaculate. You weaved together the assets into a well-polished package.
I also appreciate a lot of the details you put in there. The CRT filter, the FF-inspired battle screen, the slow fadeout/fadein to mimic NES games, the elaborate movement of all the soldiers in that first story to emphasize the scale of the battle—just to name a few! I especially enjoyed the character writing. I'd be interested if you continue the story in the future, or at least use the same characters or setting.
