Why do JRPGs always end in a battle between teenagers and a deity?
>>385313309
It's cool.
>>385313309
>teenagers
their core demographic, at least originally
>deity
logical progression of enemy strength, starting with weak enemies and progressing to literally a god to show how powerful your character's become
Because the protagonists must be under 18 (it's the rule)
and also, right now it's a thing in Japan for evil deities to be video game bosses.
>>385313309
Wasn't Hades supposed to be the final boss?
what
because anything japanese has to be about an all powerful imperialist superpower which the people have no control over trying to destroy them and their way of life using massive tools of destruction

Originally. He got nerfed to a trader and an optional boss

>>385313491
I never heard that before

cloud is 23 in ff7

This faggots name isnt even Necron in the OG Jap version.
His real name is Eternal darkness. Necron is just westaboo doujin shit
None of all 3 Trails in the Sky games, Chrono Trigger, nor none of all 3 Mother games, nor Dragon Quest generally, nor Pokemon games end like that OP?
Just where are you getting your criteria from OP?
>>385313893
Necron sounds better the jap name sounds like the final boss of a kingdom hearts game
>>385313893
>People still can't into themes and figure out DEATH is the villain of FFIX nearly 20 years later
Automata is the only JRPG that did a fight against "god" well.
>>385313309
Fuck no! you are the worst final boss ever!
Because jrpgs are hot garbage for manchildren
>>385314237
Bayonetta?
why the fuck does demiurge show up in persona 5
>>385313309
teenagers are the most popular protagonists in anime and japanese games because of japanese culture (the whole "coming of age" thing and how you're expected to become a slave to your job once you get out of school)
the deity thing is just a natural progression in long games like jrpgs where you get progressively more powerful as the game goes on
>>385313309
That's a tree
>>385313491
>Change a great final boss that fits perfectly thematically with lol darkness just to make a reference to FF3
This change encapsulates perfectly everything wrong with ff9
>>385313893
Also the Doomsday spell's original name is Jihad
>inb4 muh religion
They were fine keeping Holy but pussied out on muh muslims
Fuck shitty translators
>>385314485
Is Jihad still around in the SMT games?

Every pokemon game from Generation 3 and onward revolves around the enemy team trying to gain control of a deity-like pokemon
Generally you beat/catch that pokemon and deal with the enemy team before you "beat" the game and the champion but the idea is still pretty much the same
>>385314312
>Game about societies distorted desires oppressing people ends with a fight with the Demiurge
Of all the demons that it could be they actually picked the right one for the game thematically, just look back to
>Game about seeing truth through the fog of media ends in a fight with the Japanese god of death
>>385313389
Bartz is 20, and Exdeath is no god
