Game 1 tells the legend of a legendary hero that saved the whole continent, while you play as a descendant of said hero
Game 2 has you playing as the descendants of Game 1 hero
Game 3 has you playing as that legendary hero, looking for his father not knowing what awaits him

guess the games

Blame the Japanese market, not the studios. Marketers are just doing their job in finding out what people want.

>game is set in a mature, political backdrop, rich with intrigue, backstabbing, and wars
>studio tells you to get rid of your intended protagonist, a grizzled knight at the center of the game's plot, because he won't be received well by young girls
>shoehorn in a new protagonist that has absolutely nothing to do with the story, and bears no relevance to anything happening in the world

Why did they have to ruin such an amazing artstyle on such a shitty show.

>tfw you finally grow up unlike OP and realize that effectively wars are a series of battles and the grandiose event he thinks a war is, is not what it actually is
>and many series pull off the struggle, or breakthrough portion of a war very well without needing to flip around and show constant worldwide conflict you can assume is happening

MBC is great. Cant believe it wont get a second season while garbage like South Park and the Simpsons keep getting seasons despite them being well past their prime
>>
>>320652697
It won't get a second season because it's shit. Simpsons gets a free ticket because it's a merchandising giant but most of the time something that is good will be popular and something that isn't wont.

season 19 was actually decent.
The simpsons on the other hand are just gone from a long time.

>>320648171
I would play the shit from that Cetra vs Jenova thing from FFVII.

>>320652697
Moonbeam City is basically Archer set in the 80s. If you mix shit with shit, how can you be surprised when you get shit in the end?

DMC might be good but Spardas story sounds ballin as fuck.

kind of sad that we almost never get to see a ancient proud civilization at it´s peak and also never the great war against the big evil
