The play is similar to William Shakespeares King Lear and Romeo and Juliet, with the hero, Marcus, in love with Cornelia, the daughter of his enemy, King Leo. Leo wishes Cornelia to marry Prince Schneider, a man she does not love. Both Cornelia and Marcus end up dying for their love. In the original Japanese version, the king in I Want to Be Your Canary, played by Baku, is King Lear, which is a direct reference to Shakespeares character. In an old development memo Hironobu Sakaguchi shared online, the play Tantalus performs at the beginning of the game is a special play at night when two moons are full once a year. This refers to the twin moons of Gaia. The initial idea for the play also appears to have been a different play altogether, as it is described as: A theme of a play is Moon Light Love Romance which is very hot now.[1] In the final game, the play is being performed to honor Princess Garnets birthday. The excepts of the dialogue of the original play memo reveal that the play would start with the rescue of a princess confined in Gulug castle, and that with the hostage exchange the Sassoon country would be be reconstructed.[1] Mount Gulg is a recurring location in the Final Fantasy series, and also appears in the final version of Final Fantasy IX as the Mount Gulug volcano near Esto Gaza. Sassoon country refers to Sasune from Final Fantasy III.
