Why’re there so many games from Japan that boil down to “GOD BAD SATAN GOOD”?

Nope
Very rare.
Even in, Satan was depicted as a neutral lawful entity that simply did what he was designed to do originally, and in later ones he was often just a very strong demon or a tool being used by others.
Lucifer on the other hand did have a more humanized character than the israeli Yahweh portrayals, but was not always good.
Moreover, it's still pretty rare in the huge genre that games actually do this or anything like this. There are plenty where the church is simply where you saved and healed, and the final boss is a devil or evil spirit being.
This is a weird cliche that was never actually that dominant in the JRPG sphere.
Most FF games have some kind of "false-pseudo-god" representation of a villain as their final fight.
There's only fifteen of those you know not a million. Even then they aren't religious gods at all like OP is trying to be upset about.
>Tactics Ogre
>Final boss is some king that was referenced several times throughout the game, but he comes back wanting to be God of ogres out of nowhere
MegaTen isn't generally GOD BAD SATAN GOOD
It's just GOD NOT NECESSARILY GOOD
>God’s side: “yeah it’s lawful and peaceful, but… but… but there’s RULES, man! We’re told to be normal and lawful people! The audacity!”
>Satan’s side: “yeah, almost everyone dies, but whomever survives and doesn’t get killed by the demons (aka our plucky cast of highschoolers) gets the heckin’ freedomerino to do what they want in this literal hellscape they created!”
neutral chads stay winning.
>c-centrist! fencesitter!
nope. imagine not being a nondualist in 2023 lmao. I can't be in the center if the polarity itself is an illusion.
Isn't it more like:
>Law: remove all freedom of human choice and individuality but get a grantee of life
>Chaos: survival of the fittest where only the strongest survive and govern
And while I don't remember every facet of every SMT game I've played I'm pretty sure some of the main cast do die down certain routes.
*guarantee of life
>strongest survive
You mean the demons, every single time? Because that’s not a positive.
Yes, which is why it's a shame that the neutral route exists since it automatically becomes the best choice just by virtue of existing.
wrong lol. at least do your research man. why do you types always have the most juvenile interpretations of spirituality?
>franchise literally named "reincarnation of the demon god"
>wtf why are there evil gods in this???
>rebirth/reincarnation of the goddess
Where did you get the demon part???
it's not but ok
DQ9 did this well. Corvus became Lucifer because Zenus didn't answer his prayers to save him from big bad king who kept him prisoner forever.
Also Zenus was a bastard too so it's fine.
What a boring design.
>Be Japan
>Chillin
>Americans show up on boats
>They say your religion is the devil and try to convert you to their religion
Hrm, I wonder why they might think that.
>All races (ethnos) will be assembled before him and he will separate people one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats.
>He replied, 'Any plant my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.
>The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."
>You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.
>You shall not let any of your semen be cast into a strange woman to cause her to be pregnant; neither shall you profane the name of your God; I am Yahweh.
>A mamzer shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Your post is so outrageously stupid that I firmly believe you don't even know where Japan is on a map.
Europeans were spreading christianity all over japan before USA was even discovered by europe
American education, everyone.
frick off, christBlack person
Play Resonance of Fate
because God is real and the devil wants you to think literally anything else
>why does this island of people from a different culture have a different view on religion from me?
That's because Christ is a cuck and a bigot. The people on the right side of history know who's truly accepting and benevolent to all, not an evil bigot.
Why do christcucks get so upset about jrpgs? Western culture has been getting on its knees to suck off your israelited israelite on a stick forever but because one genre of one medium of entertainment from ONE COUNTRY does the opposite, you lose your fricking minds. You're like mudslimes throwing temper tantrums at muhammad being depicted.
Your magic sky daddy fairy tale was created by the romans to pacify the israelites. Religions in general are created over time by people as a coping mechanism because life is brutal, scary, and unforgiving and people need things to comfort them, especially when thinking about dying or their family dying.
There's a series of jrpgs where God(dess) is good. Play Kiseki.
>Satan main antagonist and penultimate boss
>Turns out he was just working for God, the final boss
>INTRODUCING
Which game?
No spoonfeeding here
Maybe consider Japan's cultural and religious background for a minute before asking moronic questions.
Is Japan’s cultural and religious background demon apologia? Do they worship the oni and yokai?
I'm referring to the fact that the vast majority of japanese know jackshit about Christianity and the "god is evil" trope stems from their experiences with violent sectarian conflicts through Buddhism for centuries, which had a big impact on their culture and perception of religious authority figures.
they are moronic homosexuals basically that can't hold any responsibility and too prideful to admit they can be wrong and blame it someone else when things go south
>he made the thread again
Frick off back to Ganker you loser roflmao
is that the microsoft ceo?
