I've been struggling with art a lot for the last... idk how many months anymore X'D
At this point I guess I have a full on artblock and can't properly finish anything. But anyway, this was one of the most successful attempts I've made in that time so yeah ;u;
After that small teaser break after #10, we can do some more. The following comparison is briefly in my Meta Preview, but it is relevant.

———————————Hints beneath the bar———————————
I have said some of this before. If you want to know what Sauron's intentions were in That Númenor Scene, and why he wanted Galadriel to keep the dagger, use That Eregion Scene as a reference.
Sauron gave Gifts, which happened to be the two ingredients used to make the Three Elven Rings—by which means he intends to enslave them. (Also, the colors of the Gifts match the colors of their respective Scenes.)
The above comparison shows that Sauron used the same method to ensnare Celebrimbor as he did with Galadriel in the beginning. It hints at what kind of friendship he and Galadriel had: Sauron's charm on Celebrimbor was feigned. It was a trick. Convincing as it was, we all know that he did not deem Celebrimbor as a TRUE friend—Celebrimbor is a means to an end. So was Galadriel.
Okay my own game of find the real Cloud got super painful at the end of the demo
This was so amazing from then on in the scene it's from his real perspective *chef's kiss* and if he's telling this idk how consistent he's seeming if he's including the trooper on the ground since this effectively just you playing the story he tells.
Also I played this scene a bunch to get the shots and the realism of how it is so actively upsetting to be limping through the town and then crawling towards Sephiroth is wonderful. The genuine frustration of not being able to move faster in a crisis felt so real.
