[QUOTE="Ignatius the Kiwi, post: 73022300, member: 326057"] Sounds like the typical JRPG plot. Gotta kill God and destroy that world's equivalent of the Christian Church with the power of my friends. Usually the church in these games look Catholic for some reason and I gotta think there's simply an established rule on this point in the JRPG industry because I see this tired theme again and again in the majority of JRPGs, even when the theme doesn't need to be there (Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5). I don't know if I would call that evil though, more misguided than anything. The Japanese developers seems to over-emphasise the evils of a type religion they have never experienced and that their ancestors violently persecuted all the while ignoring their own history and the vicious atrocities Shinto Japan committed during WW2. I suppose a game where the enemies are a Shinto priesthood class, the Shinto gods and Emperor wouldn't do so well in Japan so it makes sense why they target a remote religion with little influence or presence in Japan for criticism. I wouldn't say I've played a game that was outright evil. Even the games with the worst messages or themes in them I would simply consider bad or poor, not evil in of themselves. [/QUOTE]
