This game is simply unbearable. It's as if the Japanese suddenly discovered (20 years late, as always) the liberal views of the west and decided to make an entire game around it, in their typical, superficial, and naive lack of understanding.
>>738526159It's pretty generic JRPG racism and discrimination plotline. It only feels overbearing because it has a silent protagonist which means you have to have a sidekick whose main purpose is to voice the themes out loud, and you have to actively engage with it via dialogue choices. You'll get used to it
>>738526637Its woke.Death to them.
Isn't refantazio known to have a dogshit localization
>>738526637There's a certain political aesthetic visible in the loading screens (it's kind of ugly).
>>738526159
>>738526159Jrpg's have always been against traditions and the church. Thats 9/10 times the theme. They are always about a group of teens standing against the sitting power.Always.Jrpgs have always been progressive in story(ff7, come on) but nobody told you to get mad about it, so you see those as timeless classics where there were no politics in games.Because you are a retard
>>738526159This your first Japanese game?
I'm about to start SMT V, do I play the original or vengeance
>>738526159do you have no choice though? i mean, it would all be fixed by allowing you to punish and eliminate the outsiders. are you forced to save them?
>>738529823the final act of the game involves everyone realizing how flawed and retarded their ideologies are
>>738529823You need to up your Tolerance and other stats to progress. It's same as in Persona games. Refusing to up a stat has no benefits.
>>738529669The fun thing about Metaphor is that it isn't actually against the church. There's an entire segment where a character begs for the right for the masses to have their religion and in the end it's still going strong, even with a former adversary who had his faith shaken finding his resolve to continue as a clergyman.
>>738529970Sorry, I didn't play it so I just posted the funny ragebait.
>>738526159>look up game you've never played>post screenshots>instant repliesKill yourself, nigger
>>738529669this is genuinely the kind of unhinged attacks that make people hate leftists/progressives.You generalize far too much, you lump things far too much.I have lost track of the number of Dragon Quest games where you fight for some king against an evil wizard.You announce something aggressively, and then place the whole burden of proof on the ones correcting you. You replace facts with aggressiveness. This whole argumentative strategy is so disgusting.
>>738529669>>738526637What kind of cowardice is this, people who can't accept that their beloved Japan swallows the hated Western woke like candy?Stop this pathetic revision of history.No, there haven't been any Japanese RPGs before where your character had a "tolerance" stat that you increase by interacting with sandy black people, or a game where "anxiety" is a combat status and everyone talks about it in every other dialogue.
>>738526159The game's messaging flew right over your head. It literally predicted the epstein files in the game's opening cinematic but you /v/tards simply refuse to pay attention to this game's high degree of political literacy and instead turn around to wank the plot ghosts of Nojima's fever dream.This game is a litmus check. If you hate Metaphor's story, there is a very high chance that you're contributing to societal decay and are in desperate need of education beyond the middle school level.
>>738529970I like him. He wasn't even evil, when he found out what was really going on he literally 180'd and tried to help you and your party while calming the masses as best he could.
>>738526159It also has dogshit gameplay, which is the bigger problem
>>738529792VV has the original game's plot if you want
>>738530179Nta but stories, movies, books and videogames are about underdog punching up, not privileged punching down. Hero/protag needs to be admirable and there's nothing admirable about some dude being persecuting, oppressing biggot.
>>738530330no it's good the problem is they've made grinding too easy
>>738530212and you don't elaborate at all, how curious.
>>738530343cool, should I play both or how does it work?
>>738526159it's funny because leftists who actually played called it superficial, performative and arguably not even leftist
>>738530179Is your only understanding of the word anxiety rooted in things like "social anxiety" or "anxiety attacks"?
>>738530490The new story is just better, you choose right at the beginning.
>>738530621I can play that without playing the old one?
>>738530719Yea
>>738529669FF7 is pretty openly contemptuous of importing foreign culture. That's what "Jenova" (real subtle there) is all about: western influence, not just religion. A foreign system that the power brokers swear will be the new way but rapidly leads to ruin. It's about post-war capitalism and how the zaibatsu just did a sleight of hand and became the keiretsu with the same rich old families in charge. Environmentalism is there but I think it's less the "save the planet from global warming" kind of environmentalism and more of the "don't rape our natural landscapes to death so that a few families and foreign capital get tons of money" environmentalism.
>>738531026cool, thanks
>>738526159Dude, you don't have to play it if you don't like it. It's like:You don't have to use public transport if you....hate itYou don't have to eat slop...if you hate itYou don't have to hang out with "friends" or family...you hateYou don't have to vote for someone....you hateYou don't have to buy a thing....you hateIt's easy, anon. Just don't...do it.
>there is a competition to get a monster head to win favor with the public>No, we should go after a person for our head.>after a series of wacky events it turns out the culprit is the leader of the town and she just tried to kill the party with her monster>People won't believe our story if we bring her with us. We should leave her to her own devices and hope she arrives at the competition to go to her own death.>day of the competition comes, she shows up because of course she does>Now that you're willing to repent from being a serial killer who targeted children I am a bit hesitant to see you walk to your own death. After all, we're not icons of virtue either.>we need to infiltrate the villain's ship to find the formula for a spell we think he cast>Instead of sending the member of our group who is most trained in stealth, we should send our strongest because Louis will notice any absence, instead of us all going if our stealth plan is a bust.>we are now on an island of 3 eyed people who wear iron masks covering their heads to get their divine relic>We should try to blend in with the locals to gather information.Is he stupid?
how did this game mindbreak /v/tards so fucking hardis the word "tolerance" itself really enough to send people into a shitflinging fury for years on end
>>738529792There's a superboss you can only fight if you beat the original story first btw
it's really not woke considering it's willing to portray the overtly nazi politician in a relatively positive light
>>738530719he is lying by the way, SMTV is just trash all around
>>738532083Is it a fun fight or is it atlus special where you get nuked by a megidolan if you do anything besides whatever the developers envisioned
>>738532137Pro or anti nazi is not a woke litmus test. The woke crowd are fine with nazi tactics as long as the correct people are brutalized.
I don't know, the game seemed pretty pro-Monarchy to me.
>>738532992There's nothing wrong with dictatorship if the dictator is a good guy. I'm more of champagne socialism kind of guy with AI run admin Ian M. Bank's Culture scifi books' style
>>738528958What the fuck Prishe was racist as fuck in XI she actively forced Galka and Tarutaru out of Tavnazia after the Chebukki Siblings bombed the aqueducts.
>>738526159sounds like you had your political awakening around 2016, dumb nigger.
>>738526159It's just boring and doesn't give enough freedom of choice. A premise like this should have a few different story paths.
>>738530179>>738530179God, just shut the fuck up you stupid fucking mutt. Even when Japan has been trying to chase the woke shit after being lied to by 'consultants', it's out of a lust for money, none of them even GET half of the shit you retarded inbred fucks are preaching over there, let alone believe it.
