    >the UI/Menu/Inventory
    It's not bad, but idk why most Japanese games have all the same vibe with their UI

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      It's usually down to function. It's hard to really improve on modern UIs because they do what they're supposed to do and convey what they're supposed to convey and anyone can understand them. The most you can do is make them look different, but functionally, most UIs will inevitably end up being pretty similar since there's only so much you can do to streamline the player experience with a controller.

    • 2 years ago

      really depends on the game. Personally I would rather have a dull-looking generic but functional menu over a cluttered UI where you can't turn elements off.

    Video games in which you some manner of being that can probably be described as a deity in certain contexts:
    >Super Mario Bros: Bowser has occasionally displayed the power to bend reality and matter to his will.
    >Sonic the Hedgehog: Perfect Chaos, Solaris, Dark Gaia
    >Zelda: That's more or less what Bowser is now.
    >Final Fantasy: Most final bosses tend to obtain god-like power by the end of the game, certainly enough to be considered a deity in most mythological contexts.
    >Dragon Quest
    >Shin Megami Tensei (and spin-offs)
    >Kirby: Blurs the line but I think certain final bosses can definitively be defined as gods in their own right.
    >Devil May Cry: Mundus and Argosax more or less have god-like power. Vergil obtains a power comparable to Mundus in DMC5.
    >Bayonetta: More or less the same deal as Devil May Cry.
    >Okami
    >Hollow Knight
    >Asura's Wrath
    >Sakuna

    And, you know, a bunch of others. I guess it really sort of depends on what your definition of a "god" is, but in any video game in which the protagonist has great supernatural power, the final boss is inevitably gonna require tremendous power as well in order to actually pose a challenge. So it sort of boils down to what you define a "god" as. In the context of Japan, the Shinto religion has literally thousands of gods, and not all of them are particularly powerful or noteworthy.

        I wasn't just counting Japanese games, though now that I think about it, Hollow Knight is the only non-Japanese game in that list. But I think that actually points to a difference in approach to setting between the west and east. Western games tend to be a bit more grounded. There are relatively less games in which you're playing as a character with godlike power fighting enemies with god-like power.

          if your interest is only comprehension, don't force production.

            Everyone who learns another language ends up speaking it in a way that sounds somewhat unnatural to natives but I wouldn't say you're making a fool out of yourself, learning to sound like exactly like a native takes several years even if you live in a country that speaks that language, so trying out production is a necessary part of the learning process even if you don't talk exactly with the same expressions as a native does, my town gets a lot of japanese tourists so I'm confident on my level of japanese, it's not perfect but it's good enough to communicate and get a point across, I just need a few more years to polish it
