Megami Tensei churches/temples/shrines are generally good people that help the MC to heal and what have you.
You are a literal demon summoning/catching person.
The church is actually good and helpful.
TROPE SUBVERTED.
Nasu tends to get it right
Yeah, the church in Fate is pretty much the only major faction with any morality at all (even fucking Chaldea were psycopathic bastards before they got blown up.)
They're introduced in an antagonistic way to most people because Kirei and the whole "they want to kill mages? But I AM a mage!!!" thing. But the mages have literally no morals. What happened to Sakura wouldn't even blinked at by the majority of them.
I think Shining The Holy Ark and Landstalker both have you go to church to save your game, but it’s been a while since I played them. Little King’s Story has a lighthearted parody church wheee they make ramen puns, but it looks like a normal church and it’s where your subjects get married.
The church literally is as cancerous as the Association, the fact they hunt monsters doesn't vindicate them. They pulled that shit with Risei and Tohsaka, they use child soldiers like Ciel, hell, Kirei was allowed to run wild and nobody bothered scrutinizing him.
Most Castlevanias.
What happened to Sakura wouldn't even blinked at by the majority of them.
and neither did the Church? the Church literally was in cahoots with the guy who sold Sakura off to get worm'd
source?
we know why you made this thread
people actually discuss shit here
I CAME HERE FOR NUN EROTICA
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY NUN PORNO
materclaws
Virgin Mary statue has big boobs
Is this AI slop?
Ender Lillies church has fought demons untill everyone died and got turbo-undead cancer.
Momodora 4, has a weird always-on-edge spin on it but cosidering there's shapeshifting demons everywhere it's excused for attacking without warning.
FFX
Nuns are married to God, they are not for lewd
That's a more animistic thing, If we consider any form of religion I guess a lot of games would qualify for objectively good
Blessed day to you, brother
anon...i agree, but let us be realistic: nuns have hot lesbian sex all the time, and there are more than a few fathers who have sex with the nuns.
This.
Literally Castlevania.

In Atelier the church is never presented as bad.
Nasu sees the church as a potential tool for evil, but he still understands that the underlying religion is a force of good. Belief and hope is basically what his entire franchise is built upon.
Can demons repent for their sins and become angels again?
why christ trannies are so insecure about their shit religion?
The church in Kiseki are technically good guys. They go around the world and act independently cleaning up the trash and essentially act as wardens protecting the world from unseen forces.
True, but that's what makes them insanely hot. It's the ultimate and final challenge for mortal men.
In that universe everything is the Greek definition of daemon, even the angels
It also becomes pretty clear almost immediately that the gods they worship are not nearly as benevolent as their servants
No.
Only if they sacrifice themselves in defense of the innocent and pure, which they would never do.
ywn be possessed by a demon (have a wicked boner)
ywn get purified (paizuri'd) by a spiritually-endowed sister
ywn resort to drastic measures (missionary position) when that fails
ywn raise your hellspawn with the former sister
Trails of haha
BASED BASED BASED
Sounds like the plot of a hentai I watched two decades ago, minus the hellspawn.
tfw shitflixtrannys found few Japanese games that have a positive portrayal of christianity and had to desperately shit on it
Anyone with a working brain could see it coming a mile away, normgroids however are so cattlebrained they'll eat the pozzed astroturfed slop and beg for more.

make up your mind
A Catholic Nun raised an orphaned Felicia without issue minus the streaking and brawling, but the latter would probably be a worse act while in a religious habit in Darkstalkers, and Felicia eventually becomes a Nun who cares for orphans as well.
You can find theologians and ordained people discussing these sort of things on Youtube but there's a lot of fluff uploaded over those vids with how the site works so the short answer to the first is theoretically yes, but actually no.
The reason they're demons is because the idea of acknowledging fault and repenting is anathema to their persona.
For the second, also no. Even if someone repents once removed from a station they don't go back considering their initial inclination to place themselves before obligations makes them unreliable. Feeling remorse about a sin seldom means someone won't do it again and with something like being an intermediary of divine thing that's just not pragmatic.
Kiseki
This is sexual harassment. We must be better men
Nuns owe me sex (with the habit on)
I suspect one of the reasons why crapcom sundowned Darkstalkers was because it portrayed a beautiful catholic woman in a positive light.
Truly the religion of cuckolds.
takes your women and makes them his
you're supposed to just thank him for it
"When they told me I was going to be the bride of Jesus, they didn't mention that he never puts out."
Is that why women find Catholic priests so attractive?
No, only humans have the right to second chances.
Now you understand why they were butthurt
Ok. Most Final Fantasy also have churches that are dedicated to a God that are benevolent. The only one that changed that up was FF10. Phantasy Star has churches dedicated to the creator of the universe, which did so to trap the embodiment of darkness within it. Disgaea. Priests in that universe, if they are pious enough, actually get to become Angels after death and Heaven is an actually good place, even if a few angels turned out to be really scummy.
Then there is Grandia 2, where the Church WAS a good thing, but was slowly corrupted by the Dark God over thousands of years, until they started to actually try to reassemble the pieces of the dead God. The light God that they worshiped was completely dead after the battle against the Dark God. One of the few examples of a piece of a Dark God breaking off to become good because they fell in love.
La Pucelle.
Isn't the plot twist in most of those ''God Evil'' JRPGs that it's an impostor pretending to be God. Also I think the church is good in most of them. It's where we heal or revive after all.
Well, that aside, korean games seem to have a more positive portrayal usually.
Oh and in Castlevania the Church is 100% good. To the point they saved innocent witches during the Witch Hunts.
Can you become carefree and innocent again like when you were a kid?
i thought this was a weird nun AU ochako
Yes. If I got a passive income for free that is more than enough monthly I would become carefree and innocent again. It is having to battle for survival everyday that it is taking it's toll on me
Beware besmirching the name of Christ
how many games actually treat the church as evil
it isn't that many and the meme is overblown imo
now AN ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS, there's a motif that won't go away
Sinisistar
Easy there, Moshe.
Few. So few I don't remember many. Like, usually the god they worship is evil than the other way around. Or when there is an evil
When there is someone genuinely evil in the church it tends to be its own person or an extremist sect.
Like typing this out, I don't record any. Church evil is something more common to japanese manga or modern media.
what game is this from?
now that you mention it, i think in FE9/10 the church? is evil
but i'm pretty sure it's only really that specific fire emblem setting and not a fire emblem thing
Megaten practically invented the evil church jrpg stereotype
Actraiser. You are God, and you are good.
And in some Zelda games, priests are good people.
I can't think of a single game where the church hasn't been evil except for dragon quest where it's just a savepoint
Castlevania.
The only people that watched that diarrhea are retards who don't play videogames.
anything related to Berserk
2?
FFX Church of Yevon is pretty much pure evil with no redeeming qualities
Grandia 2 has a very catholic-adjacent church that isn't too bad except the Pope is trying to summon/become Satan
SMT church is bad because God himself is an asshole
related
Dark Souls?
name a japanese game with a good protrayal of the church that is not Dragon Quest
a good protrayal of the church that is not Dragon Quest
kek, isn't church/priest evil often in DQ?
like DQ9
I meant like, Berserk games, since Berserk isn't technically a videogame series itself
good protrayal of the church
so you want a fictional portrayal of the church? why are you faulting games for providing an accurate representation
why should the japanese carry the burden of whitewashing your child molesting negro feet loving church?
You don't have to be religious to know where things like hospitals came from, or who gathered the current understanding of medicine and anatomy.
Forgot but Monster Girl Quest and Paradox have good portrayals. Even the distant ones with fewer monster tends to be welcoming to them if they don't cause trouble.
The Witch Hunt village is the exception that proves the rule, and it's the fact the Church is so welcoming that they managed to spread Ilias' teachings to the weaker monsters.
Though when the topic gets to angels and Ilias herself, don't expect as much kindess
NTA but I also heard they encouraged scientific research to better understand the world as God's creation and the sects that popularized the aversion to science were minor extremist ones.
Any knowledge on that? Cause I always find fascinating how a good portion of geniuses through history were religious.
The 1st PHD in historical statements belongs to Dr Jesus Christ, Field Medic. <(^-^<)
Every time I see a thread like this and say Trails I feel like I need to put an asterisk, because with how fucking hacky post-Cold Steel Falcom is I can 100% see the church ending up being the main big bad guy of the series, especially with how much they're whitewashing Ouroboros and keeping the Arteria out of sight.
she may be a sister but he calls her mommy!
It is having to battle for survival everyday that it is taking it's toll on me
But you know what life is and how the world really is
Even if you had all the money in the world, you couldn't forget about it because you've already lived through it
I don't think they are the "bad" guys but they are trying to keep up the status quo of keeping the secret of the world. they probably also are well aware of the current situation of aidios and the outside world and continue to protect it from the shadows while keeping everybody else in the dark.
That's one hackfraud twist away from being the villain
You ever seen a hot nun? You should be thanking God for even giving them a place to belong to.
Hot nuns probably exist irl but are rare, like a unicorn.
Okay fair I have personally seen some beautiful nuns, even with the debuff the habit applies.
But 99.9% of them are not good looking.
pokemon, actually
Very interesting. Thank you for taking g the time to write that.
they've never done anything "bad" and have always been on the scene to actually do something good. they may turn into antagonists at one point but they wouldn't be considered the main villains of the series at all. there's also multiple factions in the church so if anything it wouldn't be a church is le evil scenario.

Most Fire Emblem main religions are chill, if a bit underrepresented in the plot. All the based Jugdral priests, Yodel swooping in with a bunch of holy relics for Roy, that one bandit who did the Punisher baby vest but with Priests, etc
