>Modern JRPG NPCs and Party Members
Revenge is bad and you should not get it
>old JRPG NPCs and Party Members
You plot regicide and seek to avenge your brother? Rest here for free any time. I support you and your quest.

Why are modern JRPGs so cringe and afraid to admit that some people (and not just God) need to die?

Sounds like you are focused on vague memetic tropes and pushing a specific sort subtextual awareness that you were implanted with rather than a desire to discuss actual RPGs.
>>
>>3856883
Revenge is bad and usually those who seek it become blinded by it and don't learn to deal with the source of the problem or the threat at hand, and allow their anger to control them.

this is literally the plot of Tales of Berseria, the game with an MC who dresses like this
you're kinda just talking out of your ass

It's just a fun thread to have fun with, autismo man

Doesn't seem fun, crybaby.

Yeah because you ruined it, tard-kun

Wrong, revenge keeps evil people from doing more evil against the innocent.
>>
>>3856883
How common is this actually in modern games? What I usually see is the plot point that "Revenge won't necessarily make you happy" instead. The latest Revenge plot I played even ended with the character reuniting with his lost daughter because he didn't give up on his revenge when others told him to do so.
>>
>>3857217
in the modern climate, revenge is only acceptable if the woman pursues it. if a man does it, he is usually dissuated and ridiculed

perfectly said

In FF4 everyone comes back to life except Telah.

A life lost to save others was a fruitful life, a life lost for revenge was a wasted life.
>>
The worst case of "Revenge bad" is The Last of Us 2 because for 99% of the game it was "REVENGE GOOD" until after the final battle where the MC decides to spare the person they wanted to kill THE ENTIRE GAME
>>
>>3858024
The problem with Last of Us 2 is that neither Abby nor Ellie forgoing the death of the other makes sense in a setting where rifles that can kill from 200 yards or more.
It's no problem to say 'revenge is bad' or 'revenge may feel good in the moment but it won't fix you as a person'.
It's a problem to present a scenario where two people make an illogical decision despite the war crimes that they have both committed.

Tellah's daughter doesn't come back. Tellah was too old but he shot his shot and freed Kain, the gay shit about hatred harming him was garbage Good manly death.
>>
>>3857995
>>3858284
Tellah got his revenge, though, seeing as the battle was won. He prays alongside the same bard he scorned for your sake!
Their prayers give you life.
Their prayers give you strength.
Their prayers give you vitality.
Their prayers give you holy power.

And why would I want to do that? So that only I suffer?

I'm not that charitable. If anything, I want them to do it again, and again, and again, to as many people as possible.
>>
>>3858300
Extreme feminine energy.
>>
>>3858300
The very idea that you would suffer from getting revenge in and of itself is an idea pushed to make you not seek out retribution for being wronged. You don't need to kill someone to get revenge Anon.

>>3856883
i mean she literally did just watch them cut down nero in front of her fucking house
and at least, from her uninformed NPC opinion, for seemingly no reason whatsoever
>>
>>3858435
To be fair, they really did drop the ball killing Nero in the streets instead of just tossing him in a dungeon, huh?
>>
>>3856883
Kill everyone, feel nothing.
No more revenge philosophy faggotory (is that even a word?)
>>
>>3858284
i dont think youre allowed to come back after you cast meteo
that shits srs
>>
>>3857248
Someone should hang you
>>
>>3858759
In the streets in a town where literally nothing happens aside for that as well. Camineet is by the spaceport, just send him to Motavia to die or something
>>
