“Pretty Broken Toys” is a dark FF7-inspired track from the perspective of Hojo — cold, clinical, arrogant, and utterly divorced from human empathy. This song leans into his obsession with control, experimentation, mutation, and the idea that people are nothing more than pieces to break, shape, and study.
It pulls from the ugliest parts of Final Fantasy VII: Shinra labs, Jenova cells, SOLDIER experiments, twisted legacy, and the cruelty behind the creation of monsters. Detached and surgical on the surface, rotten and monstrous underneath — this is the sound of a man treating lives like disposable prototypes.
