Actually you are Jesus

False messiah. You are actually door jesus.

the antagonist is the other Jesus.

What's the point in remaking threads word for word? What new things could we discuss? Do you want people to just post the exact same shit all over again?

It's a SMT game. What did you expect?

>Antagonist of the game is the creator of the world as you know it, the glue holding everything together
>Fight him because destiny even though his followers sincerely try to warn you
>Defeat him
>You and world cease to exist

Blew my mind

No, he's the antichrist. You're Jesus.

>antagonist wants a quiet life
>protagonist has shit hair
> NO WEAKNESS

does he use a shotgun?

>playing anime games
shoulda known better senpai

Jesus is a Christian concept though, not a Jewish one. In SMT 1 the man representing Jesus was neutral.

>casually took his place
As opposed to formally?

Christ figures in SMT games are generally good
Takaya was a false messiah

The false shepard
The Japanese understand Chirstianity better than you do, OP.

You do realize that Christians believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of a Jewish prophecy, right?

But Jesus in and of himself has little to do with Judaism other than the fact the Jesus was Jewish. Jews don't believe he is their messiah.

That being said, I think the original guy meant SMT just uses religious figures as enemies/monsters.

Name one game that even does this

I guess FFX kinda does that. But the cast knew what they were getting into and the world is better off with out Sin.

Read: And look at the color of his eyes. Notice anything, especially when you go on over to the next installation P4 with the various character Shadows?

This guy was nothing more than door-kun's Shadow.

which jews of that time rejected according to the bible,christians are his followers not the jews they don't follow the old jewish code only the new testament,althought the old testament is still used as a way to enhance the importance of jesus

Xenoblade chronicles kinda does it but then you create your own world

FFX doesn't do that at all retard

Yu Yevon was literally just a really powerful wizard who manipulated the world into worshipping him. He didn't create shit aside from Sin who he used as a tool to keep people worshipping him.

dead kike on a stick

Are there any games where I can play as Jesus?

Yu Yevon had no interest in being worshiped. He lost his mind after making Sin and only exists to keep Sin going without even knowing why.

The people in Bevelle started a church to worship him in hopes it would calm him down. It didn't work.

>antagonist is literally jesus fucking japan
Whoa shit

>your true persona is literally called " Messiah"
Uhh fuck off?

Mother 3.

You wake up the Dragon. BOOM. Everything's fucking gone.

Everyone's "OK", but the World's gone. Itoi said that whether they went to the afterlife or not is up to you

Terranigma
you broke shit and now you have to fix it
that's Christianity right there with the whole sin thing

Within the collective Japanese consciousness, there's a great anxiety revolving around an inferiority to the West. When the Portugese first landed on Japan, the Japanese named them 'nanban', which means "southern barbarian". They called them this because the Japanese thought they were savages, as they ate with their hands and not chopsticks. The technology and information that the Portugese brought with them, though, was vastly superior to what the Japanese had, and they were eager to take what they could. The reason that Japan entered their isolation period, or 'sakoku', was because they feared that the Western missionaries and merchants within Japan - who had introduced Western cultural practices that were gaining a lot of traction in Japan - would essentially take Japan from them.

During the Meiji Restoration, Japan came up with a phrase "wakon-yosai": Japanese spirit and Western techniques. After Matthew Perry and the US Navy came in, cucked Japan's chink shit and forced them to open their borders for trade, Japan went through a transitional period where they had to modernize and play catch up with the rest of the world. "Wakon-yosai" essentially means that while Western technology and techniques had merit, the "Japanese spirit" was superior than that of the West, and so they would be able to apply these technologies/techniques better. It speaks to Japan's anxiety surrounding their culture and inferiority, as well as their well-known xenophobia.

The reason why Christianity specifically is portrayed so poorly in Japanese media is because of this centuries-old anxiety towards Western culture, and it's worth compared to their own. At the time Japan entered their sakoku, the Jesuits had converted so many Japanese that there was at least one Catholic community in each major Japanese city, so Catholicism as an organized religion has specific relevance to Japan and their historical relationship with Western culture. You often see Japanese writers and mangaka, with laughably ignorant and juvenile understands of Christianity, write stories that demonize Western religion practices in order to rewrite history and placate Japan's own fragile ego and insecurity.

Similarly, this is also where the "Katana is the superior weapon" thing comes from. Before the Portugese came, the only firearms Japan had were crude cannons, and they still fought mostly with polearms and swords. The Portugese introduced matchlock firearms, which the Japan studied and reproduced, and quickly changed the landscape of warfare in the region. It was only after Japan had been unified through firearm warfare and then entered their isolation period that they began to deride guns as 'uncivilized weapons of uncivilized Westerners', with the katana becoming the 'civilized' weapon to represent the 'civilized' Japanese. You can't argue that a gun is less technologically superior to a sword, but you can make up a myth about it somehow being less 'civilized'. Every time you see some anime Jap deflect bullets with his katana that's been folded x1000 times, remember that you're actually watching a cultural coping mechanism for a disenfranchised and insecure people.

makes sense, but I wanna actually play as Jesus

kinda picking at hairs here, don't you think? Christianity is theologically just a reinterpretation of man's covenant with God. The fact that Christianity looks nothing like Judaism in practice is consequent of scholastic attitudes which more or less formed the modern Christian forms of worship.

Really, the only scriptural difference between Judaism and Christianity is the latter's inclusion of Gentiles in the kingdom of God.

Link's Awakening, to an extent.

Persona 3
SMT 2
Those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head

>The reason why Christianity specifically is portrayed so poorly in Japanese media is because of this centuries-old anxiety towards Western culture

papist shill detected

it's because a protestant englishman who went full weeaboo told the shogunate at the time what happens when portuguese and spanish catholics get a foothold in a country, the former ruling elites became puppets of the Catholics

think of how Microsoft does Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, same deal

By "the world" I more mean the world Tidus came from. That's more what I meant.

I'm still surprised I played through Persona 3. Took like 80 hours.

It really wasn't that fun.

>Christianity is theologically just a reinterpretation of man's covenant with God.

Same with Islam.

But you don't see these three religions of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity really getting along unless you ignore the whole jihad/holy war/crusades/persecution of the jews to force them to convert.

Jews don't want Christianity. Christianity wants Jews to submit and stop being Jews forever. Islam wants both to submit to Allah.

His persona is Hypnos, god of sleep, while Door-kun's persona is his brother Thanatos, god of death. Both of them were born of Nyx, the night.
Hypnos is also the root for the word "hypnosis", which could be used to describe the state of people that bought into the lies of Takaya, where as Door-kun brings forth "true" death to the world, and thus creating hope for a brighter future.
IT'S SYMBOLIC

Super Columbine RPG

no shit

The Torah is only the first five books of the Bible, anything else was added to that.

Ffta

Venom Jesus is a casual compared to Jesus Classic

do you have a made in heaven one

Sounds kind of like Terranigma.

Asura's Wrath

For the most part.

He uses a revolver actually.

Madden '08

These law fags, the strongest law armor in SMT was Jesus armor

Replace 'Japs' with 'Jedi' and 'the West' with 'Star Trek'

No fucking way.

This sounds like some scientology or mormon bullshit.

Lucas borrowed laboriously from Japanese samurai films when making Star Wars. The reverence surrounding the Lightsaber comes directly from that.

Original Poster of that message here.

This is basically the story from the Phantom Dust. Only very few people will tolerate teh gameplay now, but yeah it had a cool plot twist that I never forgot.

It's just a silly tourist trap dude
