Fantasy Meets Reality In Time of Legends: Joan of Arc
The story of Joan of Arc has captivated storytellers for centuries because it almost sounds too wild to be real. Recent adaptions have taken that element further by “enhancing” the historical events with explicitly supernatural elements. Sony’s Jeanne D’Arc, released in 2007 for the PSP, was a strategy game based on the Hundred Years’ War — only now Joan could power up into a supersoldier through the use of a magic armlet and there were literal monsters on the field. (It’s a good game, by the way.)
