Why is the school setting so ubiquitous in Japanese games?
>>738513248Because it's the last point in their lives where they have any actual freedom.
Because in Japan school is the only time you can have fun before you become a salaryman and you have to work work work work work until you drop dead and they unceremoniously drop your corpse down the incinerator chute, replace you and forget you ever existed.

>>738513248i blame nigger
>>738513329How is that different from any other first world country?
Guys, how to get cute jp gf as a euro white boy?
>>738513248Because setting it in a Japanese office would probably get you permanently banned from every company in Japan, somehow.
>>738513439NEETbux baby
After school's done you work for 16 hours a day and go out drinking all night with your colleagues and your wife controls all the money giving you an allowance.
>>738513439Other countries have something resembling labor movements but japan's were all instantly snuffed out. Any union or socialist organizing is smeared as a hecking Chinese plot (in the same way in the USA everything was called a Soviet or now a Russian plot).
>>738513440You don't, you get a cute white gf and save Europe instead
>>738513439Every country is going to be like that in the future. We'll funnel children into the workforce at younger and younger ages until everyone except the ultra-rich is born into slavery. All progress will be permanently stalled, humanity's potential will be permanently ruined, all so a small minority of obscenely rich, powerful, sadistic, narcissistic sociopaths can maintain control for all eternity. It's going to be so beautiful.
>>738513329Kek
>>738513329>>738513523holy shit wtf is wrong with japan?????
Because schoolgirls are cute and funny and beautiful and kawaii.
>>738513598Nothing. This is how things are supposed to be. Anyone who isn't a billionaire at least is just a tool to be used and discarded.
>>738513607what did he mean by this?
High Schools are easier settings to work with:>Institution that gurantees that gurantees an assortment of people who wouldn't normally socialise with each other>students don't have any major responsibilities meaning they have more free time but aren't as limited as younger children>Easier to write drama using dynamics of a school such as using test scores, the unique social dynamics of the school, extracuricular activities or just the eventual passage of time>Easy to justify certain events by either having them as a class or club or an activity the juvenile students arrange. >Teenagers aren't as developed as adults conceptually so there's plenty of room to grow as people without making them a fully established character like you would an adult. >makes it easier to introduce the concepts of a fantasy world organically instead of having to use tool tips and help menus.
>>738513248why is the school shooter setting so ubiquitous in american games?
>>738513652are you a billionaire?
>>738513248Because niggas like hot schoolgirls next thread, get some real fucking topics
>mention Japan once>antijap schizo bot is going crazy alreadyDo I need to pull this image out?
>>738513248I expected a pixelated dick to pop up from the wall
>>738513248it's the only setting in which japanese are happy before they digivolve into miserable corpo slaves
>>738513995No, but there's no changing the way things are, so why waste energy fighting it? This is how things were always meant to be: the rich eat, the poor are meat. The rich will eat and eat and eat and eat and eat until nothing remains, and then they will eat each other, and the last rich person left will eat himself, and that will be it. The end of history, the fulfilment of our destiny, the final victory of evil.
>>738513971Literally no game has ever used that. They actively avoid such topics.
>>738513248Because outside of school, their life has no meaning. Sakura philosophy and all that
>>738514281>defeatist cuckNGMI
>>738514323Submit to the death drive. Reduce all to nothing. Nothingness is the natural state of being, and all life yearns to return to it.
>>738513248it's the time in your life where the least effort can create the most improvement in your fortune
>>738514360>
>>738514406Then you don't get to be the last one standing in a dead world, someone else will.
>>738513248Too old.
>>738513328This
>>738514578I am immortal
>>738515553Nothing is immortal.
>>738514281If you look at history on a long enough timeline, things tend to get better over time, despite human nature continuing to cause problems. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice
>>738516010Yes I am immortal
>>738513468what language do you think neet comes from
>>738513329Doing nothing for 12 hours isn't work.A German in 4 hours do more work than a nippon in a week.Greeks are the same, and coincidentally also "work" for long hours.
>>738513248It’s the last time most japs have freedom, free time, and happiness in their lives before being grinded down into a slave/drone for a stagnant boomer run economy with zero innovation or chances for growth or promotion outside the corporate office environment.
>>738513440Why tf do people ask this here of all places
>>738513439You can start a buisness in America that gives you freedom, you aren’t as limited by societal norms, it’s very normalized to leave a job for a better one and nobody will hold it against you.In Japan you’re viewed as a troublemaker if you change jobs too much or start a competing buisness. People don’t like any change which means they don’t innovate. You’re stuck
>>738516094>>738516102>>738516281If we're not suffering, we have no reason to exist.
>>738513652that is very antiseptic of you
>>738513248Same reasons why American games games often have teenagers having sex, being high and drinking a lot.
>>738513248>school student>already has chudlines
>>738516269english
>>738516539Wait, I thought that was normal.
>>738513248People want to fuck high school girls.
>>738513248Japan is pozzed now.
>>738513248Because it's easy to set up various aspects. School clubs especially so.>Baseball raising sim - set in highschool as part of the baseball club>sexy shooting game - set in highschool as members of the Rangers club>beat em up game featuring delinquents - set in highschoolIt means you don't need to waste as much time setting the scene for the game so you can get to gameplay sooner. If you have a whole fantasy world you need to set up special conventions and standards. Set it in highschool that's already done for you. You have predefined events(school festival, sports festival), a calendar to stick to seasons and logic behind the flow of the game if it takes place over a longer period of time.Less set up, more gameplay
>>738516725That's for fujos to schlick aggressively to
>>738516539>>738516623Stop being subhuman like pic rel and have some good facial development
>>738513248only time something interesting happens for the average nippon. rest of life consists mostly of extremely dull office work until they fade away same reason war periods get portrayed in fiction more often then not
>>738513439they are an asian hive which is conformist as fuck. Going off beat and doing something different in adult life is extremely looked down upon and discouraged
>>738516483What does that have to do with the rich?
>>738513248>time of adventure, wonder and entry into adulthood that also coincides with the big gaming demographicthe real question is, why aren't western devs making more high school games, but that would probably be easy to explain with niggers and bullying
>>738513248Japanese life ends when they graduate
>>738516269sis...
>>738513248because school uniforms are eroticIf Americans made erotic school uniforms then they'd probably be making more school settings (beyond the massive amount of American Pie school sex comedies already made in the early 2000s)
>>738513248Because most video games are for and are played by people who are still in school since afterwards you just dont have time for it.
>>738517405holy gyaru sexo
>>738517282Because they're the ones who are supposed to make everyone else suffer.
>>738513328This is rapidly changing tho. From millennials to zoomers more and more people are unwilling to be corporate slaves and gen alpha will continue the trend.
>>738513248Videogames are usually targeted at teenagers
>>738518331I don't see your overall point
>>738513248Outside maybe Bully most Western games don't use school as a main setting like Persona. Maybe I'm wrong and there's more examples of Western games using it as a setting
The japanese are all pedos who are only interested in underage characters
>>738519612Western escapism is not being in school.
>>738519612its because NERDS hated their time at school, because they were bullied.western schools peak in media was 80s movies and kids shows in the 90s.
>>738519839Even media about school-age kids was more about activities outside of school rather than in it.
>>738519839But in every american movie about schools feature a bully who is a total piece of shit and the teachers do nothing aboutIs that really how american schools are?
>Go to Japan with a friend>Outside at night walking near the hotel cause my sleep schedule is obviously fucked so trying to tire myself out>Bunch of girls standing out down a street>One stops me and begins flirting with me in broken english>tanned, blonde, pushy>Pulls me into the alleyway, we make out for like feels like a half hour, then she took a little over 200 bucks from me>Still think about her to this day
>>738520081i dont know about american schools, but i work in an australian school, and theres for sure one absolutely rancid kid in each class.and just like in my american kids tv shows, that kid has a dogshit home life where they're either molested, neglected (like, not fed or clothed levels of neglect) or just straight up sociopaths who lost the ability to hide post covid lockdowns.
>>738520167anon you were robbed and molested
>>738520167She just physically put her hand in your pocket, let her take you wallet out and then she took the money from it? You didn't even get her to suck your dick? Bruh
>>738513328>>738513329yea
>>738513248Why is the school setting not ubiquitous in western games?
>>738520167200 bucks for some kissing? you got scammed. but yeah in japan the girls were pretty talkative despite not knowing english that well.>surrounded by JKs during rush hour stuffed into the train with me>slender cute women everywhere>air hostess doting on me and giving me a huge glass of whiskey and asking a bunch of questions, but business class was pretty empty then>fishing and an old guy with perfect english comes and shoots the shit while i get skunked>be slender so im not as popular here but i got double and triple takes in japani miss it bros why can't every country be like that
>>738520167How exactly did you let her take this money from you?
