@coolboymew To be fair, Xenoblade 2 was also kinda chill on the whole "Kill God" issue. But yeah, it's quite the contrast between DQ and other JRPGs, lmao.
@ChristiJunior @coolboymew Even Xenoblade 2 wasn't exactly positive towards religion. Dragon Quest actually has a saintly church.
@ArdanianRight @coolboymew Eh, the religion itself was portrayed positively enough, I always interpreted it as a problem of the particular religious leader being a very messed up individual on a personal level. I don't think religion made him worse, I think it was just a coping mechanism.

I do recall there being some more explicitly anti-religious NPCs in Torna tho.
@ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @coolboymew

If you are willing to believe Chineese alot machines have story lines Genshin Impact also breaks this trope. In GS the gods people worship were once mortal and are replaceable but the plot is interesting on its own imo but its still a live service game thats only in its third month so theres lots coming plot wise we haven't seen yet. So far we have met two of seven gods in a pantheon of the world we're in (parallel universes and main character having been to several but stuck in this one is established in the intro) and this have been allies in the plot and even summonable in the game via the gacha
@dielan @ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight I can't play even if I wanted

It barely runs on my phone and I ain't fucking switching to my Windows partition for a live service game
@coolboymew
Damn dude what phone do you have?

I have a regular Galaxy S9. I grind on my phone, and do the voiced story content on my pc lol
@ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior
@dielan @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior like, I can play but it's too much on the verge of playability. Will most likely kill my battery faster than SIFAS dances on Max settings
@dielan @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior yeah and I'm already playing 3 others, but bah

I also dropped PSO2 for being boring as shit
@dielan @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior the problem is that everything was easy as shit and the missions were not terribly exciting and you kept running into a problem where the missions levels were just kinda too apart and the game just fucking threw 1021-95935843608 billion items to do I don't know what with, I didn't fucking need this shit and urrrrgh

Also the little quests were a nightmare to do. I don't know who or what the fuck half that shit is

With friends we ran into some sort of emergency mission in some sort of city casino stage where you jumped and run all over, THAT shit was exciting. But it was far and few between

@coolboymew @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior @dielan Are you talking about the whole game or just certain episodes? I was wanting to get into PS02 because I love the original Phantasy Star series and I know Sega was never going to make a singleplayer Phantasy Star game again.
