Screenshot from Episode II of Zenogaias showing the deck of an airship with Draven remarking to Rei, "The Calinahrian forces seemed to know we were coming, Dame Captain Rei." Reason I chose this particular image is that I spent so much time animating the propellers seen and getting the look of the airship just right. I wanted to convey that sort of nostalgia when first seeing the deck of the airships in Final Fantasy IV, since Episode II is 16-bit. Lots of tile editing and reworking from the base tiles I used to get the SNES look I was going for. I'm really happy how this came out. The aesthetics hit that chord for me, so I they do for others.

White-haired Wandering Witch, Lystara, races alongside a train on a motorcycle before jumping from the bike to the a ladder on the train... Once on the top of the train: ""Not dead? Check. Okay, there has to be a hatch on top or something to get inside..." "Ah, over there." "Not so fast, Witch!" A black helicopter comes rushing into view to confront our Witch. "...Oh, joy." "The boss had a feeling that someone might try for a rescue! 'Lo and behold, here you are! This is your one and only chance to stand down!" (Think, Lystara! Think! There has to be...) Lystara gets an idea. "Very well. I know defeat when I see it. I surrender." "A wise decision, Witch! Now, you will wait here while I-" Our heroine then throws her backup sword through the air and it pierces through the cockpit windshield, skewering the pilot within. The helicopter goes down and explodes off-screen.
