I do definetely agree with megavolt. In terms of a games that a plot revolves around a corrupt religion is definetely final fantasy tactics.
I wasn't particularly fond of the game when I first played it because I personally found it very difficult very early on in the game, but my gf was very persistant that I give it a chance. I take her word very seriously, and I played throughout the entire game and it definetely has one of the best plots of any rpg especially with all the twists and turns. Its nice to see the church looking at the main hero of the game as a heretic and contributing to a lot of the plot within the game itself. Even though, I have to give credit to xenogears which is my favourite game of all time. To be honest xenogears was one of the first playstation rpgs I have ever seen played, and its story was totally captivating because I haven't seen too many games that used religion as such a strong theme as that game did. Even in xenogears, billy is my favourite character he fights for what he feels is for the good of humanity whether he was following the church's wishes or not. I really think when you add corrupt religion to a storyline whether its an rpg or a movie it adds an interesting plot twist whether or not its predictable. Also when dealing with corrupt religion especially in video games you get to see an issue from both points of views. In some cases it also leads to character and story development. Its definetely an aspect that should be used in games, but in no sense should it become overabused. The whole aspect of corrupt religion is being a high selling point recently especially with all the hype of The Da Vinci Code. All in all its definetely good to see this concept in rpg's and notice some of the greatest rpgs such as the ones I have mentiond above. Some other rpg's that has a plot that uses corrupt religion from my knowledge are: 1.) Lunar 2: Eternal Blue 2.) Xenosaga II 3.) Vagrant Story 4.) La Pucelle Tactics Jam it back in, in the dark.  |
