Why we kill gods is RPGs

Why we kill gods is RPGs

"The gods represent big corporations and muh capitalism, also here's a bunch of unrelated stuff that has nothing to do with the topic..."

This is why we need gatekeeping. These idiots can't think beyond materialistic reasoning, idiot probably doesn't even know what gnosticism is and thinks that the japanese are too smart for religion.
It's as bad as the "Mother 3 is about muh capitalism and fascism!!!".

In chrono trigger you just kill a tick.

This guy shills his videos here everytime this thread topic comes up

It's cool and fun

listening to long form youtube video """""critique"""""

ever

all of this shit is the same. it's just some retard slowly reading an ai generated script for easy clicks. you know he didn't write it himself because he mispronounces easy words that somebody would know if they wrote it

In Kingdom Hearts the final boss is a flesh boat.

Ban breadtube. They overstayed their welcome 5 years ago.

alex o' connor told me to downvote this OP post.

I watched a video essay retrospective critique thing about a fucking pokemon game and the faggot mentioned "late stage capitalism". What's wrong with these people.

Some of his videos are good, the ones where he sticks to the strict legal analysis that is. I disagree with pretty much all of his more philosophical videos where he tries to make a grand “insightful” point but he usually presents everything in a succinct and balanced manner. Also he sometimes talks *way* too much and goes into *way* too much context for the topic at hand. Too verbose.

Power creep+grand scale+long length=eventually you end up fighting gods.

90m youtube video

I'd rather watch Snow White

You always kill some godlike giganigga in the end of RPGs simply because what else is there to fight? Fantasy is a juvenile genre not fit for serious storytelling

People like this think that tropes are meaningless. Everything can be used as a placeholder for something else.
So yeah, the gods in jrpgs simply become a critique for capitalism or some other political shit, they are not universal tropes that have a much deeper meaning to them.
Seriously, the retard in the video literally said that Sephiroth represents the government.

I think the actual reason is freemason culture.
Freemasonry is very big in Japan, and this is where they get all the gnostic themes that they put into their games and anime. It seems that they don't really take it super seriously though, which puts them above westoid geriatric retards who genuinely piously believe in all that freemason shit. A rare situation of japs actually having common sense.

Nah, i think it has to do with Buddhism. Since Buddhism teaches that ascension comes from within, not from God. So it makes sense gods are villains in Japanese games.

So many of them take too long to make a point. They often pad for time with an “analysis” that’s really just an overly lengthy summary of plot points and levels. And when they do, it’s some very milquetoast that could’ve been explained in 1/3rds the video length.

Japan's brand of Buddhism isn't like that though, and modern Japanese traditionalists are anti-buddhist, which extends to video games like Demon's Souls.

HELL IN DMC IS ACTUALLY ANOTHER DIMENSION

THE VAMPIRES IN CASTLEVANIA ARE ACTUALLY SCARED OF GEOMETRICAL SHAPES NOT CROSSES

THERE'S A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN IN FICTION

capitalism bad = media literacy

So he spent most of the video talking about a game where you don't kill God, but some lovecraftian being. Maybe A God, but not the Demiurge like a lot of rpgs actually do.

Shit, there was El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, which is literally a game about the Book of Enoch and the Metatron. They just love that shit, idk why. But so do I.

FFVII is actually a bad example. Dragon's Dogma is a good example.

Jesuits are literal satan worshipers, so that's not a good endorsement.

"god"

it's demiurge nigga

Yeah I do hate this guys videos in particular. I feel like he is always completely talking out of his ass

Okay protex

know he didn't write it himself because he mispronounces easy words that somebody would know if they wrote it

this drives me fucking mental. fucking kill all retards

I thought they were just catholic which counts I guess

It's a mix. The premise of Megami Tensei was the computer being used as a medium for spirits. If you think that's silly or superstitious, look into the inventor of the television, because he unironically believed he was inventing a device to interact with spirits and that's why there's an electric Jew in every household.

2 hour long video essay on JRPGs

This is so sad. 50 years ago, these people probably would have been Egyptologists or something. But instead, today they're waisting their lives psychoanalyzing gay weeb video games.

It's literally just a counterpoint to dragon quest.
EVERY JRPG has the same "hey, we need to do different from the RPG that lives rent free in my head and make god bad in it!"

1:30:57

allat when he could've just made a

JRPG

Kill god

thread on Anon Babble like every other template shitposters

William Adams won.

my VIDYA GAMES can have spiritual non-materialistic themes o algo

JRPG where you kill God

Picture not related? In fact let's just get it out of the way that it's not related 99% of the time the trope is called. "God" here always just referred to a false god, often times a fallen angel type like Seph which is about as explicitly Satan as you can be but you will just as often get Yaldabaoth the demiurge by some other name (or not). Most of these games even have the main character playing as a Jesus/messiah type character and a lot of them even have some proper God in your corner. If anything JRPGs are as Christian as they come, trouncing falsehoods, the evil men do, and corrupt churches is what Jesus lives for yo.

It's called actually having a brain. Intelligence is something you lack, and therefore you do not understand any display of it.

Don't you literally save god from false prophets on xenogears?

It's not really grey. The entire point of SMT 1 is that both sides are wrong. Chaos are Nazi esque morons who ally with literal child eating demons. The American soldiers are obvious tools whose god wants to destroy human civilization and take over the world.

EVERYTHING IS CAPITALISM = intelligence

Marxism is brain cancer.

FF7 is a hilarious bad example because the entire joke is that Sepiroth is deluding himself. He's not a god or a angel, he's a misanthropic manchild who never got over his mother issues.

literal child eating demons

Cool it with the anti-semitic remarks.

Everything is capitalism

Learn memetic theory, please.

Did you forget that Gotou was entirely correct about the US being a golem of the angel illuminati and wanting to destroy Tokyo? It's not like he didn't account for demons being assholes either, it's just that demons are preferable to getting obliterated by nukes. You can come back from the former, but not the latter.

Amanojaku is more white coded than Jewish.

The real reason why gods are so often killed in JRPGs is because the concept of murdering or defeating gods happens all the time in eastern mythologies.
This is an east west difference, in the west murdering a god doesn't show up in any of our main mythologies, but in Asia? fucking everywhere.

There's nothing else to it.

Allying with Lucifer is still a pretty stupid move and going by his dialogue it's pretty clear he thinks the gods of old have his best interests in mind when they very much do not.

For every breadtuber, one of the following applies.

The Illiad? The Eddas?

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DEUS SAMA IESU SAMA TASUKETE!!!

It's been on my mind for the past week partially because I've been thinking of how it would work if adapted as a show or OVAbut that's exactly why I love the classic SMT games; they tend to be halfway between occult tech JRPGs and half PolSci 101 classes.

They do, insofar that chaos demons love fighting law demons. It's really just him trying to reenact the titanomachia of the kunitsukami against the amatsukami.

For every right winger, one of the following applies:

Nonhuman

Subhuman

Nonsapient

Incapable of rational thought

No internal monologue.

So, I'll take breadtube.

Gotou was being reactionary. The whole thing started by accident anyway.
Stephen accidentally discovered the expanse while working on the terminal stuff. Had that not happened, chances the whole game would have been avoided.

The Doomed Megalopolis OVAs are the closest thing to seeing old school SMT animated.

I want more games with religious crossovers.

The problem is they are still pissy about losing their old stomping ground rather than any kind of genuine pro human sentiment. A lot of them don't even really do much other than just go around massacring civilians.

And meanwhile, in the parallel universe where you thank god for creating you and the world instead of killing him, you get rewarded with THREE wives.

Most of the time Japanese have you kill God or gods because it's based on the idea of Shinto gods and spirits who are the types to plot against humanity.

let me know when you retards get any actual real life power, its been 40 years since the last time your meme ideology was relevant

Yeah, but what other choice do you have as a human against the fucking divine host. If you are going to get wiped by the angels, you might as well rage against the dying of the light.

The japanese dislike christianity for the same reason euros did not use to like muslims until very recently. What reason would they have to think of it positively when for their entire history it was synonymous with foreing invaders hellbent on subjugating glorious nippon?

Bleach and Zelda are the only pieces of Japanese media to do this right and I'm not joking.

JRPG games where you kill god.

I honestly can't think of that many. SMT and Persona games obviously have it, but in both cases they are based on mythology and it's actually pretty rare you fight THE god. In Final Fantasy the only real example I can think of is Yu Yevon, who isn't even really a god. There's the first Saga game, but that's almost played up as a joke. Dragon Quest typically has god as completely benevolent.

Agreed, Is that the video where the guy uses terms like "conspicuous consumption" unironically? If so, I think I watched it too. A lot of retards think that in depth analysis consists of reading way to deep into everything to try and find connections, irregardless of whether those connections actually exist. In actuality, the god killing seen in jrpgs is probably the product of a streak of antitheism which was a reaction to the zealotry that the government tried to foster during imperial japan. During the reconstruction period, the country saw a huge swing left politically, which led to negative attitudes towards things like imperialism, patriotism, religion, etc. But writers were still hesitant to actually start embroiling themselves in ideological conflicts with their mostly non-athiest audience, so criticism of Buddhism or shinto is still pretty rare. Abrahamic religions though, specifically christianity, are widespread enough to be recognized, yet are foreign enough to be fair game. A lot of other authors followed suit, though often more so for the aesthetic than for what it represented philosophically.

An important thing to note though, is that an omnipotent god is obviously unable to be defeated. Therefore if it is defeated, then it was a false god. So you never actually "kill god", you only kill fakes, and what you're really doing in all these games is "proving" that god doesn't exist by destroying a pretender that's called god. Proving atheism essentially, by slaying the dragon of religion. It would be funny if you killed god for real and the universe just winked out of existence because there's nobody willing it to exist anymore, but that wouldn't teach the proper moral lesson now would it?

anything religion that does not worship christian god is satanic u literally cannot get away from that claim

Give it 3 more years.

People want blood and they will have it.

nice tautology pseud

The tetragrammaton of SMT isn't even "the" God, but rather an avatar of its divine harmony. What people would think of as "the" God is the Great Will.

Yeah, but what other choice do you have as a human against the fucking divine host.

Enslaving Demons and then using them. It works for the MC.

It goes way deeper than that. Christianity is fundamentally opposed to most of the central values of Japanese culture and spirituality. Same reason why protestant's at one point hated Orthodox Christians more than Muslims.

In final fantasy 5 the final boss is a man/tree hybrid in space or something

Pretty much. Hell, that's been a thing since Megami Tensei 2. Literally the first game where you actually kill god.

Christianity is fundamentally opposed to most of the central values of Japanese culture and spirituality

Such as? Confucius would have fucking loved the catholic church.

FFII: you fight the new Satan, after the old one died
FFIII: you fight a god who's afraid of dying
IV: moon god
VI: Self proclaimed God
X: Alien cult God
XI: both Evil God and Satan in different expansions. Evil God lives and turns good-ish
XIII: original has you fight machines who think they're God. Sequels have you fight the actual in lore gods
XIV: Satan and his friends
XV: Jesus

Fighting against the Millennium Kingdom does not require half of the stuff the Ring of Gaea, inspired by Gotou's [read: Yukio Mishima] own beliefs. Stephen would definitely have been willing to help out, as he does with lore dumps and COMP upgrades

I did not really get the impression that SMT1 Stephen would have cared to intervene in such a drastic manner.

the japanese were horrified at the thought of their ancestors being condemned to an eternity of torture

Aren't the villains in 3 and 4 just really powerful wizards? Kefka kind of counts, but at the same time it's pretty obvious he doesn't really believe. His usage of Christian imagery during his final boss fight is more mocking than genuine self aggrandizing.

The japanese dislike christianity

Yet, we have games like Castlevania, which is very pro-logos and the church is portrayed as an ally. And ultraman which has a lot of christian imagery, and it isn't just because it "looks cool".

The same reason euros did not use to like Muslims

You clearly haven't heard of the Kurdish immigrants in Japan.

Buddhist hell has far worse and for almost as long as eternity. Serious theologians don't even think that christian hell is a torture chamber, but rather a place where one only suffers from the exclusion from God's company, which they think to be plenty painful in itself.

Xande was a wizard but the backstory sets it up as Noah as God giving gifts to his progeny.
Zeromus was just the moon god of the second moon

He sent out the Demon Summoning Program so as many people as possible would be able to wield demons as minions; it's not unlikely that if he had better success with people learning to use it and not immediately using it to gain power like Ozawa, I'd see him definitely zipping around and trying to run things under the table so instead of just the MC, he'd have an entire 'faction' to work with

The first thing you see him do is send a program to control demons to everybody in Tokyo dumb enough to open a obvious spam email.

Fuck you, I'll let you know I've been writing a script for two freaking years covering a game, its sequels and all the bullshit EU stuff like books and comics and I'm actually putting the work in because I like them videogames

rpgs are about numbers going up and fighting increasingly stronger opponents, a god/god-like thing is the strongest imaginable entity by its nature so they're fitting final opponents

how does it take an hour and a half to say that

Fair. Symbolically he was linked to god.
Man, I need to replay FF4. Been way too long.

Why didn't he start with talking Gotou and the army chuds down from going gaean and letting them in on the secret of the demon summoning program?

People itt haven't heard of Japan's catholic history

Don't know who the 隠れキリシタン are

Didn't know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the most catholic cities of japan before USA's nukes wiped them out

Probably think the Japanese are too stupid to know what a cross or who the Seibomaria is

Westerns truly live in a bubble.

Who the fuck installs an runs an executable they got from a spam email? Aside from the MC. Or maybe people were a lot less knowledgeable about digital security back in 199X.

Japanese gods are more like Greek gods, they are not all powerful, they are not pro human, they can be petty, spiteful, etc but are still very different. They can even die.
Trying to equate their gods with western views of godhood is moronic.

Any games where world went to shit after we killed God? The only example that i can think of is God of War 3

One of the most obscure conspiracy theories that I have heard was that the US golems nuked Nagasaki exactly because it was the most christian city in Japan.

few of the smts

Wasn't the FFIX final boss the personification of death? I guess that's a god.

YOU KILL GOD IN THIS GAME

It's just some character who got powerful, not an existing entity in a cosmic hierarchy or a physical representation of a concept outside of humanity's control.

moon channel

Pseud channel. This guy is insufferable. In fact why do all channels with Moon in the title suck? The other big Moon channel is a doomposting content farm

You really think the nationalist and frustrated with modern life and a lot of hatred for gaijins guy is going to listen to the ramblings of a crippled?

but Sephiroth is just a dude with some alien DNA injected by his dad

I heard that as well, i can see why because Harry Truman was a freemason.

YOU KILL GOD, YES YHWH

it’s actually the Gnostic fanfiction one, again

almost as long as eternity

I chuckled

The same Gotou who orders his army to storm laboratories to gain control of the Terminals before killing the scientists inside (laboratories that Stephen himself was inside) and hires punks like Ozawa to kidnap anyone with the same name as the heroine is not listening to a gaijin in a wheelchair, whether or not he built the thing

RPG's are about getting stronger and what's stronger than a God? Saved you 10 hours

You know this is what I wanted to know, cause I think I wasn't properly introduced to these games. Or I didn't pay attention back then, frankly I wasn't much into reading the RPGs I played in the Super Nintendo or my memory isn't that good.
The last I played with these themes was Stella Glow and there is no ''god'' it's actually something man-made via prayers. I think people called out once that the ones from Persona 5 was an imposter that there is a true one and he was just pretending to be a god like that cause he was incapable of that.

But in old RPGs it's like that? Like, no man-made deity? The true god is good and the thing they kill was an imposter?

Egyptologists

You say this to contrast the general awfulness of video essays, but these kinds of people would have always been hacks. I tried to read a bigass "morphological" study of russian fairy-tales, which is a fairly autistic endeavor by itself, but some classifications the author makes are so random as to be befuddling. A weird tangent, but my point is that really idiotic works of old are just dead and buried, while the the dross of modernity can sometimes be seen on a high roll.

Vladimir Propp?

mispronounces easy words

This is to bait people to comment correcting them, which pushes them in the algorithm.
Faggot practice, instant block

SMT II is sort of like that; the first 'YHVH' fight is a fake created by the Messian Elders to bring forth the Millennium Kingdom on their own, without needing to wait for the real YHVH to get it started and the second 'YHVH' fight ends with him mentioning 'the divine will of the universe' will bring him back; future games elaborate that said Divine Will is the actual God and YHVH is just one avatar, like an account dedicated to shitposting

non eternity and eternity is infinitely different, in christianity you go to hell for not believing, in buddhism its only if you do some bad shit like killing your parents or sometimes . Conversely anyone doing good deeds regardless of creed can go to heaven, but it isnt eternal

Sugoi. I was actually in doubt cause I did remember in SMT I always found weird there was this godkilling thing yet I clearly remember in a game over that the MC was sent to heaven and the narration noting regardless of what he became he was still worthy so I was always puzzled cause that didn't sound like something that'd happen if god was evil

It might be too charitable to even think of the Great Will as an entity. It's more like, if the universe was an operating system, the Great Will would be the computer it's running on?

I meant in a SMT that I played* if this made it look like I played SMT I. I think it was SMT III that I played in a friend's house at that

There is no heaven in buddhism because the entire goal of buddhism is the cessation of existence. Also I said almost as long as eternity because for all intents and purposes suffering for all eternity and suffering for innumerable kalpas is the same thing.

There is no heaven in buddhism because the entire goal of buddhism is the cessation of existence

failed buddhism 101 award

for all intents and purposes suffering for all eternity and suffering for innumerable kalpas is the same thing.

finite and the infinite are totally different things no matter how much you try to conflate the two concepts

Correct me if I'm confusing it with Persona but isn't it that demons in the Expanse were given form by human thought, which is what allows YHVH to threaten that he'll persist in II or IV: A or for Yaldaboth to lose his own power in NINE and YHVH in IV:A; it wouldn't be too far off an interpretation of the Great Will if that's the case

"god" is actually just a guy with a complex that stumbled his way into a ton of power

Every time.

Yeah. The only reason his work is notable is because nobody else cares to analyze fairy tales. Was expecting more historical notes like in mythological study guides, trying to make sense of this or that element. But Propp's ingenious maneuver was to never really cite any particular story, excusing it with WELL THEY ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT IN FORM SO I WILL CONTRIVE A SIMILAR FUNCTION INSTEAD. What's the fucking point of categorization in the first place then.

The power of observation didn't really become a major element of the lore until SMT4 and Apocalypse. But yes, that's pretty much correct.

Video games are the most important artistic development in human history.

even if that was said in jest you should be flayed alive for saying it

simmer down

Don't take it too seriously, that was just the lit crit meta back then. I heard Simple Forms by André Jolles is pretty much the same thing.

yup and they don't organize their points in any real fashion, don't revisit points to hammer them home, just babble in no particular direction and then end without having truly made a case. waste of time.

Based
Fact, JRPG is the most woke genre

Nigga is actually playing Xenoblade on his 3DS

It's kind of impressive they managed to fit a fucking wii game into the 3ds

It's a really good port if you're definition of good is making it work as well as possible. It pushes the system to it's limits.

spoiler

they ported Wii U games too but Xenoblade is more demanding than all of those, actually.

The true god is good and the thing they kill was an imposter?

Xenogears... sort of ish.
The thing you think is god and made humanity is just a super advance planetary invasion and destruction weapon that went rogue. The actual god is a fourth dimensional being caged inside the weapon and wants to be free

Think that version is going to be worth anything in the future? I got a copy before the switch port came out.

they ported Wii U games

Other than mario maker, what else? I recall a yoshi game, right?

modern Japanese traditionalists are anti-buddhist

I felt this on Getter Robo, pls explain more of this great elder

Imagine getting filtered by a Moon Channel video. The man is a lawyer, it's literally his job to break things down into small pieces so even a retard can understand it. He goes into excruciating detail and explains every one of his suppositions so thoroughly you couldn't not follow him.

The man is a lawyer

that explains it

Not that anon but it's their equivalent of western chuds rejecting christianity because it's gay and jewish. It's the exact same thing.

come across some upstart channel with 4 short, essayish vids, subscribe since they're of passing quality

5th ones comes out

he's now talking into a mic in front of a green screen

the man is a jew

Ah. Checks out.

they don't know about the japanese-jewish common ancestry theory

Way to out yourselves as conspiracylets.

SMT, as well as many works in japan during that era, were a pure expression and stimulation of neuroticism, as if looking for pleasure in unescapable dread, all decisions and paths being wrong, maybe except and untried one

kinda gay ngl

This, all americans that try to talk about vidya history should be shot

Communism is fundamented on reductionism, e.g.

Supposedly he was raised prot, but considering he's a lawyer from jew york city, yeah basically.

Protestantism is basically rejudaized christianity, so that makes sense.

Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woolly World, Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, Rodea the Sky Soldier. All of those besides Hyrule Warriors are pretty small, and I'm not too knowledgeable on it, but I'm 99% sure Rodea is actually a 3DS port to the Wii U? Because Rodea was originally a Wii game, and that did release on the same day as the other versions but it's very different and has more going for it.

reminder that all prot takeovers were helped by the jews since way back then

The germanics have been infected for 500 years just because they got jelly of the mediterranean renaissance

muh pope

you worship a jew

I can see zoomer nihonjin chuds being like that, but getter was written by a boomer

All prot countries "go Muh Jews!" at literally anything

Modern jews=Babylonian demons
Hebrew Jews=Phenotypically aryan as shown on roman descriptions of Jesus Christ

WE

why do jews hate him then?

jewish infighting

therefore I NEED to worship jews

your mind on abrahamism

The general sentiment of anti-buddhism among the japanese right is from decades before WW2. The waito pigguzu just associate everything japanese and chuddy with Mishima because he's the only japanese chud they heard of.

According to all sensible ancient sources Jesus was White

Then why don't they hate pagans even more? Their most hated are Hitler and Jesus, no one else comes close

why did christkike golems destroy all native european faiths to the last man but left their jewish masters alone?

According to all sensible ancient sources Jesus was White

post them

A homely feeling.. any discussion ending on Jews... Oh Anon Babble... you are really back...

This is why we need gatekeeping. These idiots can't think beyond materialistic reasoning, idiot probably doesn't even know what gnosticism is and thinks that the japanese are too smart for religion.

It's as bad as the "Mother 3 is about muh capitalism and fascism!!!".

The point is that gods represent the insurmountable whether capitalism, fascism, marxism, communism or any kind of system that is so complex as to rule the lives of those who live under it even though it is an unfeeling, unthinking idea.
You're trying to make it as if the point of this video is that it considers the idea of "god" as a political one only. It's simply about fighting the ineffable.
Most games don't delve into spirituality in any capacity because such a thing is deeply personal, attempting to convey it through a video game would be a deeply stupid thing to do.

but left their jewish masters alone?

Whenever someone tried they ran away, at the end the prots (HERETICS) gave them an unlimited stay, well, until Hitler said no more
On the opposite pagans would not run away and fought valiantly to the end (well, except for ALL the converts you are forgetting)

post them

The Letter of Lentulus
any ancient painting of him
It's almost as if the indoaryan did in fact expand into this zone and way more, no?

destroy

But they were the ones that kept records of most pagan traditions and myths.

The Letter of Lentulus

fake as fuck

any ancient painting of him

any surviving painting was painted by someone who had never seen him, how is this evidence?

why was there no hadrian or nero christian counterpart? Of course you kept inviting them back every time peasants rebelled. I don't care about sect infighting you're all the same spiritual semites to me.

The Letter of Lentulus

not even the catholic church takes it seriously

destroy 99% of ancient works, writings, philosophy, knowledge and priests so much that you had to get them again from the fucking muslims in the renaissance

OV VEY WE SAVED THE WISDOM OF THE ANCIENT WORLD!!!!!!!!

It's as bad as the "Mother 3 is about muh capitalism and fascism!!!"

Ok smartass, what is Mother 3 actually about then?

fake as fuck

Judeobrownoid position

how is this evidence

These 2 "sets" are congruent on a description of jesus, add to it the mantle of turin, all congruent, meanwhile the modern jewish image with the hooked nose appears on even late median persian (ZOGGED persia) coins

Also, tell me, were kikes not "the people of God", don't you think they'd try their hardest to take that title for themselves while marginating and being cruel to the true heirs?

It's about family, and that's what's so powerful about it

why was there no hadrian or nero christian counterpart?

Because post roman Europe wasn't centralized enough for shit, from when do you think the over a 1000 expulsions came from?

every time peasants rebelled.

they mostly came back when nobles fell into debt or because a conquering power (most likely financed by jews) forced their entrance

the results speak for themselves. no more native european schools or religion and adherents, only ZOG cultists with a tsundere secret love hate relationship between jews and crypto jew all vying to be truer jews than the other. Why do you hate them anyway? for killing your cult leader? but that was necessary for him to save all of you, no?

He gets basic history wrong. When he said that Puritans were Calvanists I stopped watching. Just listening to his anecdote about his Presbyterian church that Trump went to was annoying enough.

I think discussion on this topic would get a massive increase in quality if people learned that God =/= gods.

Gnosticism sucks, I don't know why the Japanese are obsessed with it.

Sephiroth is le god of capitalism

You fight gods because they are the most powerful thing that can also be defeated. Personified gods are always present in ancient myths, which is what RPGs are based on.

video games?

Because there's no capital G god in Shintoism, which is the only religious lens the Japs view the world from. There's countless gods in their eyes, and the concept of an omnipotent one doesn't exist. They view gods the way the God of War series does. To them gods are no different than the nobility of old, but with super powers.

go back

no more native european schools or religion and adherents

The god the proto indoeuropeans to this day has an identical name in spanish, Dyḗus ph2tḗr being pronounced nearly identically as Dios Padre, either by the roots, with christian morality being an outgrowth of late greek philosophy (God is the Logos) or by the later renaissance expression Christianity is European and White.

And as said before, loving kikes is a germanic sport.

Were you a pagan and not a fucking JEW, could you tell me why literally never pagans are seen as a menace or having the be counter signaled?

Maybe because you are (are rather fain to be) gay and retarded

They would just argue that the capitalization is random, just like how single celled creatures randomly "evolved" into fish which then randomly "evolved" into monkeys which then randomly "evolved" into people.

check this "moon channel"

lol
of course

You fight gods because they are the most powerful thing that can also be defeated. Personified gods are always present in ancient myths, which is what RPGs are based on.

Sephiroth is not a god so why are you bringing him up? You could argue fairly cogently that JENOVA is representative of evolution and change that leaves many behind. Sephiroth and Meteor are symbolically representing man-made catastrophe against the backdrop of greed and capitalism destroying the planet through Shinra more slowly.

i genuinely don’t understand who watches videos like this or why anyone would

I don't want to sound radical or anything, but they also have Buddhism and Confucianism as perspectives with a long line of historical literature.

thats because you crypto kikes retrofitted plotinus's "the one" and neoplatonic elements into your jewish salvation system which is not only subversive but also theologically incoherent and schizophrenic. pagans were never seen as a threat because THEY ARE ALL DEAD and the previous modus operanti was to either kill and enslave them by converting them into your semitic worldview, which has succeeded and ensured jewish longevity as long as christcuckery lives.

Tranny shitposters on Anon Babble love his channel, apparently.

Nigger, no, turbofaggotkike, the bible starts calling God the logos, you will be dead by the end of this century you faggot kike

"FF7 is about anti-capitalism"

the capitalist republic is always viewed as good and the (actually fascist) Shinra Company is bad

FF7 has a ton of references to German mythology, Wagner-rized Norse mythology (Hitler's favorite)

Shinra executive is literally named Heidegger

FF7 is about how fascism, like actual German fascism is bad. The devs aren't insane lefties, it's not capitalism. Also, the video is inherently racist. Dealing with Gnosticism and mysticism isn't a particularly Japanese thing. There are tons of western works, like think Demian, that deal with similar things. Buddhism and Shintoism also straight doesn't matter in the discussion at all. None of them really care about Japanese mythology.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KIKE KIKE KIKE YOU'RE A KIIKE BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY THE REAL KIKES

I was gonna say this thread is ruined, but then I remembered the OP post is about a trannyloving atheist's jewtube channel.

Both of which went through a Shinto filter, the same way Buddhism went through a Confucianist filter in China. People are tribalistic, this is an innate human trait that spans across all time no matter how far back you go. Any, and every single custom ever adopted by a tribe has been altered to fit local ideals and preferences. Japanese and Indian Buddhism are more different than orthodox and catholic Christianity.

this is why I hate these zoomer catering faggotubers so much. it's all sheeplike behaviour, listening for the sake of listening and nothing about the substance of what's being spoken about

Yeah, we walked into that one.

kill gods in RPGs

aside from SMT when is this ever the case?

the answer is that americans killed the japanese religion by conquering them and publicly humiliating the descendant of amaterasu, effectively killing the spiritual significance of shintoism in the collective consciousness of the population

Reading through 'A Discourse by Three Drunkards on Government; and I'm really seeing the parallels here; I guess what makes something like this a bearable political motif is that it's building off older philosophical writing that still applied at the time the game was made rather than a weaker, even if more timely, social media post.
If more devs and writers were encouraged and given time to read, we'd have better political metaphors in stories.

What are some based God loving games?

But sephiroth was never a god, the concept is that he reached such power that he could be compared to a god but its not like theres a whole religion going.
Its like saying you kill god in MegamanZXAdvent just because Albert calls himself a god upon reaching his maximum potential.

Yeah, because you loved the original premises that organized religion is inherently evil and god represents an obstacle for humanity to triumph over.

Also they did use capitalism to undermine the village in Mother 3.

It would be nice with an RPG where a group of people randomly come together and decide to fight a giant corporation and its CEO instead of a god.

i don't need 90 minutes to explain; japan / the far east is not the Christian west, when they say god / 神 it doesn't necessarily convey the same interpretation as "the big creator daddy we all kneel to".

there. now fuck off.
