i am xanatos

Editor’s Mixed Review

Destiny is a fun read, but the initial reaction is that it lacks some cohesion in the voice. Not a major setback, but it looks like Cid and I will be having some conversations about how to remove any confusions. Xanatos is undergoing a personality change, and the whole conflict of having two minds in one body is definitely an issue at this point in the story. I’m confident we’ll be able to solve this pretty quickly. It’s one of those ‘art’ vs. readability moments. Like “Beautiful Mind”, schizophrenia is not what the movie showed, but it made the idea of the struggle Nash faced accessible to some who doesn’t hear voices, and feel the ripping fear of paranoia.
