Even people who love the game say there’s a lot of brainrot (complimentary?) and fandom stuff because there just objectively is. There’s literally a
semi-secret boss rush where the bosses are literally just fan theories about who Mike is.
There’s bits about Ralsei as merchandise with an actual plush. There’s just a ton of extremely “for the fans” content.
You might like Endless Empty. It’s kinda rough and the first real zone frankly looks pretty ugly, but overall it’s a really beautiful little indie RPG thing. It has my favorite premise for an RPG story:
A burnout rockstar shoots himself in the head, and you play as the last coherent fragment of his ego inside his dying brain trying to do . . . anything as the mindscape disintegrates. Your sidekick is a projection of the motor nerve for his right index finger, named Trigger, who feels bad about their participation in the suicide.
I was just thinking about it because they had an announcement for the upcoming related title recently. It’s definitely one of my favorite JRPGs along with OFF. Honestly there’s a slightly higher chance you’d like Nepenthe, because it’s more Undertale-like in both mechanics and tone.
I feel like it could be a joke about Klan robes (which is also meant to look like a ghost, so I guess it’s what you said).
I don’t even understand what you’re insinuating. The DPRK’s goal is to be sanctioned? They wouldn’t be doing things differently if they weren’t sanctioned? You know they violate the sanctions constantly, and often it’s just to do some small amount of normal trade, right?
I don’t like Juche, but the point of it in this context isn’t to avoid trading with countries, and indeed to considers it better to be able to trade with countries. The goal is to be able to survive not being able to trade in the case where that’s the unfortunate reality, something that was only solidified by the experience of the Arduous March. Strategically, it is obviously something they should be maintaining and one of the main reasons they survived.
That person looks like Eren Yeager here.
