But in the Trails games and some other games like Radiata Stories games they're the good guys, and in lots of others, especially JRPGs, they're just an indifferent faction with good guys and bad guys in it.

Gooks have a long history with Christianity dating back to the 16th century. They crucified portugese missionaries who came over to convert and left them at their ports as a reminder to not bring that shit here no more. And all in all I think it's for the best because the current past Christian countries are degenerate hellholes importing third world subhumans and group singing after a subhuman nailbombs a children's concert. Also Gooks are huge westaboo's.

Again, Trails. The Church is good, the Imperial family is good, the Liberl royal family is good, nobility is a mixed bag but "nobility" itself is seen as an inherently good thing and most nobles are good guys.

they can still create that drama through an enemy rebel faction that bolsters it's forces to match the current government's, and you end up supporting the regime in disposing of them. Unfortunately, very few games use this take on the power struggle, which is kinda lame.

Are you retarded? He intentionally instigated the war as a pretense to take over Erebonia without losing support of the people. He also allowed Garrelia to be wiped out to create false pretenses to invade Crossbell.

But lots of people in Crossbell supports Osbourne. And if the alternative to a strongman is the nobility waging war against itself and Calvard encroachment then I'd rather live under Osbourne. Which was the case in places like Jurai where the people liked being under imperial rule and Crow was a literal terrorist. It's not that clear cut that Osbourne is a bad guy, especially considering that Calvard is said to be a shithole, Crossbell is ran like a company and the only decent and stable place in that side of the continent is Liberl.
The only thing even remotely close to being a police state in Erebonia is how they're getting rid of bracers, and even that depends on the regions since Laura's dad has enough say in the Empire that in his land they're free to move around.
>>
>>384539379
>Not to mention for a "maniacal evil conqueror", literally everyone benefits from it as long as they don't rebel.
Aside from anyone who isn't Erebonian, who gets treated like a second-class citizen and has half their income taxed away.
>Being conquered by Osbourne is a ludicrously good deal
Yeah, it's so good the mayor of Crossbell was shaking and crying and talking about how ashamed he was at getting such a good deal when Erebonia conquered them!
>>384539491
Which is more than enough to work out Osborne's deal, especially if you played The 3rd, but you retarded CS faggots skipped the "dated" games because they only have one anime schoolgirl waifu in them.

How so? I mean, he got rid of Bracers so he can have his own Erebonian Bracer equivalent that he can control, sure, but the Nobles already turned the parts of Erebonia they control into Police States.
>>

Yes, and now the entire country is just one big machine made to conquer the entire continent. Although I can't wait to see Osborne fail to invade Liberl for a second time in a row.

Because actual religious people don't know how to make good games. Most games are made in Japan, and Japanese people don't generally follow the big religions. That means christianity is either used as "wow mysterious symbols" like cross-shaped explosions in Evangelion or "wow cultists" like in most other works.
>>
>>384540037
>Not really since the stuff I did read seemed to be full of spoilers already
They haven't spoiled anything about the game itself, unless you mean spoilers for previous games, which isn't really an issue since you already spoiled them all by playing CS.
>>384540043
The 3rd is one of the better games in the series, certainly much better than CS1 and 2.

That's because he was out of the area when it happened. Not to mention it's not very intelligent to fuck with the First Dominion's fucktoy.

He says the end result was better than their country falling into ruin, but he wanted revenge and followed Osborne's example for executing it (committing acts of terrorism).

The 3rd has plenty of exploration, but a large chunk of that is in dungeons. Not one dungeon.

Wasn't Crow's grandfather the one that refused Osbourne in the first place without even letting the rest of the town in on the facts, while the rest of the town really wanted Osbourne to build the railway?

No, he was vocally opposed to it since he knew it was a ploy to take over the country but got outvoted. When Osborne blew up the railway, everyone blamed him for it, assuming he'd done it.

I honestly still never beat it and it's been two months now. It's just dungeons and dungeons, its scale and scope isn't as grand as FC and SC, and it's everything is pretty dependant on how much you care about Kevin, since it's not like the fate of Liberal is at stake or anything.
And no NPCs to talk to is a terrible mistake.

The Church and the Choir were in to some heinous shit but the hunters were mostly ignorant about it except Gherman and Maria. Mensis was the most fucked up of all. Byrgenworth was sort of neutral, they may have turned one of their students into a retarded caterpillar, but it was done in order to hold off the blood moon. Then again everything started there and the Church was mostly a front for research for Mensis and later the Choir.

So I guess the real villain was college, not religion.

>>
>>384534041
It's because Christianity is currently considered non-offensive to shit on, and it's such a common connection with western audiences that it's oft utilized. So essentially, it has really broad appeal, it's easy to understand, and our culture is going in a direction where it's essentially the only modern religion that can take pot shots without there being an uproar.

Not to mention that people with serious Christian beliefs are far less likely to make video games than bitter asshats with axes to grind.
>>
>>384543040
Well there seems to be a difference between the old Healing Church and the current one. The first generation of the Healing Church seems to at least understand that the Old Blood was dangerous and even the Vicar's Amulet has the saying to Fear the Old Blood. And even though they were kidnapping orphans to turn then into aliens it was still all about ascending humanity. But somewhere between setting half their own city on fire and locking out the general populace the Healing Church seems to have forgotten it's purpose and now just mindlessly searches for more Blood

The college didn't really do anything. They did not want to use the old blood for blood healing and wanted to gain insight instead. It was the church that founded blood healing and gave yharnimites the scourge, albeit by accident. And it was the choir that was into ay lmao shit and tried to turn people into great ones and celestial emmissionaries. However hunters work for the church, so I guess if anybody is supposed to be the "villians" in bloodborne it's the school of mensis.
>>384543681
It was willem, the leader of brygenwerth who said that in the cutscene. They seem to have disagreed with the church about the use of the old blood.

>>384544649
Right, Willem wanted to ignore Old Blood entirely. Laurence said that Old Blood was necessary to ascend to godhood but that he'll remember to be careful when handling the stuff. Fast forward to present day and they babbling about partaking in Communion. So someone, somewhere down the line fucked up and perverted the original intentions of the Church.

You have to wonder how anyone, even the insane, was living in Yharnam at all. Apparently Arianna was just going about her whoring like normal, and they were still able to organize hunts. What the fuck was going to happen the next morning if you didn't show up? There was a half-transformed hunter just down the street hanging with one of the blood drunk guys. Like nigga what was the morning of that day like? Were there no giant niggas with axes roaming the streets? No ayys with tentacle faces a block away? Was this a multi-day thing? Were the semi-sane people you talk to at the doors just in their houses for days?

Church was one of the original tools utilized to control society. Churches, in general, are where the wealthy used to put their 2nd born Sons and unwanted daughters. It existed as a buffer to keep the poors from rioting. "Here's all these sins, which, by the by, makes it so it sure is okay for your lord to keep you in serfdom. Don't worry bro, god's got your back... but only after you die."

Problem is, that gave them the power to try and wrest control from the oligarchs and monarchs. At the head of each church is a would-be king. Never forget it.

Because Religious figureheads often make for interesting and complex villains, and Japan has a huge boner for Christian symbolism and imagery.

That's pretty much all there is to it, ignore edgy atheist posters trying to rile shit up, or the moronic religionfags who take their bait.

The game as a whole is about Bergynwerth and the Church trying their hardest to hide all the dirty shit they do. Even Gherman pretty much tells you to kill shit without thinking about it and Maria and Brador tries to murder you for getting too curious about the history of the Hunters. I imagine the Church just kept feeding the populace bullshit about foreigners being the reason for their blood being polluted which is why townspeople hate them. Because they're ignorant to the reality that their magic blood is the problem. And anyone that's turned, either from the Blood or the Phantasms, they just sic the Hunters after. I mean Yharnam has plenty to choose from. The black hunters, the Church hunters, the powder kegs. More I'm not thinking of.

No, still turn-based, but instead of grid-based movement, you can move freely during your turn.

Thanks m8, is that the Trails game or is that something completely different?

People have a strange interest in corrupting things that are typically seen as having a certain level of purity to them. Look at Robot Chicken, Pennywise, Chuckie, and all of the "What if Superman was evil?" comics stories.

Completely different series, Atelier games are JRPGs witha huge focus on item and equipment crafting, Trails are story/ world-building heavy JRPGs

>It existed as a buffer to keep the poors from rioting.

It also exists to sponge up the bad outcomes, who tend to be miserable and outburst prone. Christianity is basically a religion for the "morbid brain" if you ask nietzsche, and that makes sense because all of their ideas are the typical expression of miserable and impotent people (salvation's always a big theme with the miserable).

In Christianity, at least, God's ability to account for every little "right" and "wrong" thing, the "transparency" of it all is straight-up a fantasy conjured by someone who can't face the huge lack of accountability and justice in life. It's a soothing, re-assuring fantasy that stands in for a truth that many people can't handle.

Makes me remember the times when crafting wasn't in every western game which made Atelier series stand out.

For all the bitching it gets I'm quite happy we see more crafting. I unironically enjoyed living as a blacksmith in skyrim.

She genuinely thought she was saving people by turning them into kin before they turned into beasts. The church, brygenwerth and the great ones consider kin to be superior to humans because they are more like great ones.

They seem to have figured it out. They all seem to hate the church and the hunters as well.
