A backdrop is primarily used to establish moon and setting, and these are some examples of places which really give you a sense of awe or wonder:

Spoiler:

First up is the Castle from Final Fantasy VIII. Not only is it foreboding and gothic-like, its also draped against a perpetual nighttime sky & moon, and is 'held down' by giant chains. Very impressive sight. No wonder its in my sig, eh?



Spoiler:

Zanarkand was a really interesting city, and its a shame that the best cities in the game are either destroyed or you don't stay there very long. Zanarkand was impressive for me not only for the epic porportions of the place (It was one of the first RPG cities (Midgar being the other main example) which actually looked like a CITY, stretching for miles, as opposed to the regular RPG towns and cities which span maybe 5-6 blocks)"



No wonder the Fayth recreated the city.


Spoiler:

Final Fantasy isn't the only RPG with stunning backgrounds. Another series with lush scenery is the Xenosaga trilogy of games.





I realize cityscapes aren't the only kind of backdrop, but for now, those are some examples of what I find to be really great scenes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dark Nation, do you know of a higher resolution image of the castle anywhere in the net?
I wish I did. Best bet right now is to either play the game on an emulator and screencap at that point (Which you can easily get to with Memorycard Saves), or to take a picture by blowing it up the traditional way.

Most amazing jew boots
