I dunno. Does Nier have death as a theme?
>>
>>337414015
Persona 3, would say it doesn't count since it's more VN then game but you posted Planetscape
>>
>>337414139
Drakengard does, haven't played Nier yet.
>>
>>337414015
final fantasy 9 was more about death and what it means to be alive
>>
>>337414015
why do people like torment again?
>>
>>337414971
Some like the writing, others the setting, but I swear the vast majority these days have never played it and just hold it up as some great example. It's like people who praise citizen kane without ever having watched it because they think it makes them look more cultured.

It doesn't get more about Death than Persona 3

And fuck off with your VN memes with regards to both games
>>
>>337415158
yea I think you're right. Ive tried to play torment a few times. Im ok with reading and all but torment is just WORDS WORDS WORDS UPDATED MY JOURNAL.

FFIX does death much better, man.
>>
MGS4 dances around with it as Snake is edging closer to his death. Otherwise Mother 3.

>Not getting called out by Souls fans yet.
Feels good, man.

It's cool if you like the setting, which PS is though it's never implanted enough in an interesting way, but the game comes close.

Very in depth dialogue and choice system. Good writing.
>>
>>337415745
Mother 3 is unfinished, surface level shit

Zero Escape

seeing the downfall of a character, showing other sides of human emotion and tragity. People are curious what makes them go down this road and why some keep fighting it despite all odds.
>>
>>337414905
It's a purpose of life theme, which isn't quite the same as death theme but it's the other side of the same coin.
>>
>>337415803
Souls games were never about death anyway, but fading into nothing forever.

That's what death is.

Shit gameplay.

>>337414015
Maybe not quite death, but KOTOR2 (NOT KOTOR1) is pretty similar to PST (same writer).

I don't want to spoil to much but in mother 3 you constantly are reminded if someome you lose. The game is really about loss but I'm guessing your specifically talking about death.
