Well, Final Fantasy XIII for one. The third one. That was the whole point if that story.

In III you also fight a god-like thing called the Darkness. IV I forgot what.

VI and VII both have the final boss go all god-esque.

And in X, Sin is meant to be a god.

That's really pushing the definition of what a God is.
Cloud of Darkness is ambiguous because the game doesn't give enough information about it, but it could count as a God.
IV's final boss is just a normal dude with strong magic.
Kefka and Sephiroth are humans who got in possession of powerful magic.
Sin is not a God, he was created by humans.

Will take your word for it, as I haven't played it.

>In III you also fight a god-like thing called the Darkness. IV I forgot what.
Both of those were conceptual entities. Cloud of Darkness is a fundamental force representing its namesake (its counterpart being the Flood of Light, who the Dark Warriors defeated in FFIII's past), while IV's was the manifestation of a moon man's butthurt.

>VI and VII both have the final boss go all god-esque.
That only strengthens my point. Becoming godlike is not the same as being God.

>And in X, Sin is meant to be a god.
As does this. Being a god is not the same as being God, or being the creator deity. In any case Sin wouldn't apply, it's just an eldritch flesh golem crafted by a human. Hell, you could technically just call it a fiend since it's made entirely of pyreflies.

The problem with ''God'' is that the word has wide variations and different definitions depending on the culture, religion, ideology, interpretation or belief. The truth is that we don't really have a consensus of what God means.

Yeah we do, is it Pagan or is it Gnostic?

we actually do have some semblance of a consensus when it comes to the concept of God

Look up William Lane Craig and his debates, as well as the modern theology scenes

Hence why people like to use the word architect, instead of God.

Tell me, what stops someone from creating a religion right now where the concept of God is completely different from standard religions?If he gathers enough followers, people wouldn't be forced to accept that his concept is just as true as the one from other religions?

Wut?

Because they totally didn't enslave the jews and form an Empire toward the Fertile Crescent during the New Kingdom.

Because they definitely weren't conquered by the Akkadians who inherited a lot of their belief systems

Nigga, do you even ancient history?

The fucking Greeks made a Rosetta stone for a fucking reason, and the Greeks and Egyotians made connections and similarities between their Gods all the time. As did the Mesopotamians and the Egyptians. That's why they have so many parallel.

Wouldn't that have to be a game that tries to include Christian themes like SMT? Japan is more of an agnostic/Shintoist/Buddhist country. Compare to Okami where you're one of "the" gods (more powerful and well known) fighting other similarly powerful gods. Like if you compared God to Zeus.

>Protagonist's motives and actions are questionable
>Antagonist's nature is ambiguous.

I absolutely hate it when games, and any form of media just goes with "Protagonist = Good, Antagonist = Evil".

I want to experience emotion. All I feel when an Antagonist is just a shallow dick is anger at the awful writers.

Don't get me wrong, there's a time and a place for Joker archetypes, but it has yet to be done well in vidya.

Being irrelevant or not isn't the point. I can argue that arguing on 4chan about vidya tropes is also irrelevant, but here we are right now. Try to use your brain for once to interpret what I said, if someone can create a new religion where the concept of God is changed, it means that God's definition isn't set in stone. It's a abstract concept that was created by humans and like other abstract concepts, it's subject to personal interpretations and is highly subjective.

All you're saying is no u.
Here's the thing, humans interpreted things they could not comprehend as magical beings, some of which were deified. Slowly these beliefs evolved over time and so did the worship of these beings.
All religions of today are just the latest in along line of said worship, having cannibalized from past sources like many before them.
God is nothing more than a product of the mind, it exists solely because you think it exist.

Wha...-what game?
>>
>>324188583
The 1st Golden Sun
you find out when you play as the "villain" party in the next game.
>>
Even if you stretch it to "A God" instead of "The God", there are still very few JRPG where the final boss is actually God or A God.
In the majority of Final Fantasy games, the final boss is someone who became very powerful through magic, usually a human (Tough we've seen a tree and an alien). The exception would be Final Fantasy XIII, the in the first game you fight A God and in the last game you fight The God. In some games, there are actually hints to either God or A God, which you don't fight. In Final Fantasy 1 and 7, there are churches, tough we don't know what God they are from, but both of these games' final boss is a human who became powerful through magic (And a bit of science in Sephiroth's case).
In the majority of Dragon Quest games, the final boss is usually a demon. Sometimes the demon is A God, like DQ2's final boss is the God of Destruction, however even in those cases, it is never The God. The God (or Goddess) exists in every Dragon Quest games, and you never fight them as they are benevolent (You can fight DQ7's god, but it's an optional battle and he's sparring with you, it's not a fight to the death).
In Tales of games, the final boss is usually someone with powerful magic, often from a non-human race who looks human anyway and even when the religion is evil, it's not evil because it's god is evil because there was no god to begin with.

Well, considering their architecture influenced the Greeks, and Greek architectre is seen to tgis day in Washington DC.

I'd say a lot.

Same as their math, geometry, Astrology, zodiac, and most of all, religion, since they too worshipped a Sun Messiah, born on Dec, from a virgin, who was baptized, travellec with 12 deciples, performed miracled, died, and resurrected after three days.

His name was Horus btw, not Jesus.

Ok, the Christian God is a myth.

If there is some sort of "creator" that binds us all, it's probably the universe itself. But that's inconclusive.

Jesus, the apocalypse, the Holy Trinity, Hell, Lucifer, etc... are all mythical folk tales meant to serve as metaphors for astrological effects. None are literal.

That's not what he's saying.

A better example of what he is saying, is that if every person died, and everything ever made by people were destroyed, then the "English" lanuage stops to exist. (along with other languages obviously)

So only in his example, would that be the outcome for "God" that is man made.

Not that your idea hasnt been done or isnt an actual religion (which it is)

I think that's kissing Christianity's ass too.much, and is false, considering all the shit the church pulled in medieval times, and the shit it still pulls to this day.

That said, you could make it grey, where the organization, and inner circle of leaders are corrupt, but the lower ranking people are good-willed who blindly believe the lie, but seek to do good because of it.

In short, the moral would be that for as bad and corrupt as somethig is, the lie itself, still manages to create good for how it tricks people, and the ethics it promotes but doesn't follow.

Well yeah, cause it depends on the individuals in power more than anything.

Still, by virtue of perpetuating a big lie, only to stay rich and powerful, all their brownie points for the good deeds they've done are undone.

They've caused more chaos and destruction and pain and confusion than good overall.

The lower priests are good people though, but they're just as decieved as the followers.
