Abstract

This paper examines how Meteion’s Will to Power, a concept central to Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy, is manifested within the narrative of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. Meteion is a character from the game Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, created by a scientist named Hermes. She and her sisters, known as the Meteia, were made to find the purpose of life but ended up wanting to destroy all existence after seeing too much destruction. Then, how is Meteion’s Will to Power reflected in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker? Through qualitative method in explorative approach, this study analyzes the relationship between Meteion’s actions and Nietzschean nihilism, where the disintegration of values leads to a perception of life as meaningless. Nietzsche’s perspective posits the will to power as the primary driving force in humans, emphasizing self-determination and the exertion of one’s will on the environment. Meteion’s journey, marked by despair and a wish to end all suffering, shows how Nietzsche’s idea of the Will to Power can lead to nihilism, moving from a passive to an active form. In conclusion, Meteion’s actions highlight Nietzsche’s belief that overcoming nihilism needs a reevaluation of values, showing the Will to Power’s role in facing existential despair.

Abstract

This article underlines the perspective of sacrifice in a flash fiction of Ralph Henry Barbour & George Randolph Osborne entitled Thicker Than Water. Sacrifice is a gift for a better view of the future as it is in line with the short story that shows a sacrifice of a brother to his beloved sister who needs to be blood donated because her blood is thinner than ordinary blood. Through qualitative method in explorative approach, this paper points to the relation between Bataille’s theory and Barbour & Osborne’s short story. In analysis, Barbour & Osborn’s short story shows the sacrifice and sincerity of an older brother who had to donate a lot of blood and even hold the pain for the sake of his younger sister in order to save her from dying. In conclusion, sacrifice in this story is engaged with sincerity in which all goodness of one's self is given to the other.

Abstract

This paper exposes anxiety and its coping mechanism towards mindfulness in Joe Eurell’s flash fiction entitled The Shooter’s Moment of Mindfulness. This paper employs qualitative method with closed reading as data collection technique and content analysis as data analysis technique. Through Freud’s paradigm of reality anxiety, the story is analyzed to explore the protagonist’s disturbances of mood, as well as of thinking, behavior, and physiological activities. The main character’s experiences in combat scenarios highlights how the protagonist’s mindfulness moments function as a temporary situation from the anxieties rooted in external dangers, unconscious conflicts, and moral dilemmas. In conclusion, anxiety is always temporary while mindfulness remains forever. Psychological turmoil could always be coped up with ideas and practices of prolonged mindfulness.
