Would you have interest in a video game character becoming a God late game?

No

Your PC in Skyrim is a god though.

Say what about becoming a god?

I mean Skyrim's story is basically Akatosh fighting himself so you aren't wrong

Can't wait for them to add the SSG tranformation in Xenoverse 2

If it could be done well.

99 percent of people are done with a game by the end anyways. Say the story makes sense and by the end you become God. Then you can enforce demands, smite people, etc. Would be a fun way to extend a game a couple more hours.

>become god in Dragon's Dogma
>actually get to control your character after the fact
>expect being able to debug mode the shit out of everything
>you just walk around like a ghost
If you're gonna make me a god at least make it feel like it. Give me an in-game cheat console and let me smite niggas.

I mean, they explicitly make it a point that being the Seneschal is fucking awful and they all want to die, hence why you can only "beat" the game by committing suicide to try and end the cycle.

>being the Seneschal is fucking awful and they all want to die
If that's true, why is the PC the first to kill themselves?

Because as seen in your following playthroughs, Godsbane doesn't kill you permanently. If anything, it seems to start the cycle just as efficiently, so they're just stuck waiting for another Arisen to kill them.

Explain to a non lore user

>becomes god at the end of the game
>chooses to make the world godless
Why JRPG makers stigmatize religion so much is beyond me

Sure, if late game challenges are on a godly scale.

Because they curse whatever God gave them their miserable lives.

Dragon souls literally come from Akatosh, who is basically Dragon Jesus, he is the top-dog motherfucker who literally has time as his primary domain. All dragons are basically aspects of him to varying degrees, with Alduin being one of the biggest aspects of him. You, the Dovahkiin, also have a dragon's soul in you, meaning you're also an aspect of Akatosh, just in human form. So as a result, Alduin and the Dragonborn fighting are literally just Akatosh punching himself in the mouth.

>go off on the first cursade
>wife dies of an illness
>get pissed off and give up your humanity, becoming immortal swearing to curse God forever
>second wife dies
>repeat but even more angry

Dragons are kinda like pieces of Akatosh's power that fly around on Tamriel. The Dragonborn has the soul of a Dragon i.e. he's a part of Akatosh and Alduin is the portion of Akatosh's power devoted to ending the world when time ends.
So yeah Skyrim's plot happens because Akatosh has an identity problem.

>doesn't even prolong human lives to match more advanced lifeforms
>takes a huge risk of restoring his gf through technology when he could just will it
Shulk is a fucking garbage and Rex is a major upgrade over him.

How does that work exactly? Is Akatosh aware if he's split up? ES lore is fascinating but I don't know where to look on my own

No.
Shit's overplayed as fuck and just appeals to capeshit vaping retards who blow their load to power fantasies.

>If that's true, why is the PC the first to kill themselves?

Each Seneschal pulls the godsbane from their chest when you attempt to fight them.

Japan's main religion is Shinto but they have a history of Christianity and Buddhism being enforced on them by foreigners and some leaders. Since modern Japs are notorious for being xenophobic, that comes with shunning many things foreign made. Most religions depicted as evil in games and anime are based on the ones usually worshiped by the Whites and Chinese for reasons related to previous wars.

Dragon's Dogma does it too, to a certain extent. There might be a higher lifeform than the Seneschal but it's never explicitly said.

Is it implied?

No, all we know is there's a cycle of Dragons, Arisens and Seneschals. What the common folk refer to as the Creator is just Seneschal, who doesn't really seem to do anything but sit in a chair or roam the world as an invisible force.

Elder Scrolls
>Is Akatosh aware if he's split up?
Yes and no. Why? Elder Scrolls

It's not really that hostile, but another kind of cultural thing. I think it's more because Japanese are pretty atheistic / not that interested in religion (as active adherents at least). Shintoism is also a pretty colorful polytheistic religion, as opposite to monotheistic Western ones. Buddhism for example when it was brought to Japan was reconciled with the old belief system instead of one replacing the other: creating a sort of syncretism between it and Shinto, where the latter's gods and characters were considered alternate forms of Buddhist mythological characters to the point the temples of one religion could have shrines for the other, and this shit went on until Meiji era, when Shinto was made the sole state religion (because it gave legitimacy to the emperor), which then in turn was removed from its position of power as a result of WW2.

Instead of one religion stepping in to fill the following vacuum the Japanese stayed mostly secular. GHQ also actually supported this sentiment. However you can see religious tones throughout the culture: Shinto and Buddhism related celebrations are both practiced frequently and even Christian stuff doesn't hold a stigma. Take for example how often young people in Japan want a Christian instead of Shinto style wedding. I think the only thing Japs are strongly against is any kind of radical practice like cults that disturb the social status quo.

tl;dr Japanese polytheistic and colorful religion is inherently different to monotheistic ones so gods get a different kind of treatment as well, and they don't likely consider using Shinto, Buddhist, Christian references in popular culture any kind of attack or criticism or rejection of the actual religions.
