On one hand, based. On the other hand, that mentality really dosent work in their world when dog people are regularly discriminated and used for cheap labor.

>>712428951
The message behind a lot of Metaphor is moderation and centrism. Large swings in politics tears everything apart. That isn't to say the rich aren't preying on the week, but blindly butchering them just flips the cycle it doesn't resolve anything. Educating the dog people is not going to immediately fix the problem but education is the best for a long term stable reform of the system.

She admitted her cause got retarded and out of hand. She's like the picture of a violent populist revolutionary that had every right to be mad but fucks everything up when they get power, mirroring our history.
But importantly, unlike the ones in our world, she saw the problems with her way of thinking and instead of doubling down, she changed her ways and supported the moderate.

She's 100% was. The Paripus companion you actually get, Basilio, is the last recruit and the least developed one. He feels like a last minute addition to the party after they decided to cut Cath and make her a rival for half the story instead.

No retard, the message is that the power to change the world is forming bonds with other people because humans are social animals. I'm sorry you missed this glaringly obvious central theme broadcasted across 4 seperate games with the subtlety of an aircraft carrier.

All of the social links are cut companions, they were all originally supposed to join the party and tag along

>>712435731
The game literally touches on this.
Louis and his group are clearly presented as violence is the only way, but take it to an extreme level which is as bad as the Church keeping the status quo. The protagonists try to avoid killing and playing by the rules until their backs are against the wall, but do accept by the end that some tearing down is required and some men can not be reasoned with without a blade.

I dunno, it makes sense to me.

>>712435731
But the game isn't about preserving the status quo. The Prince is going to change things, he is just gonna do it without butchering half the population.

>>712438543
This. The writers understood that her original line of thinking is what causes holodomors.

>>712438614
Which is a cute fantasy, but such princes don't exist in reality. If you're soft even in the slightest you will be swamped and held down by the establishment and nothing will ever happen until someone willing to make sacrifices comes along and does.

Change only ever comes from the barrel of a gun or the point of a sword. Even today's liberal democracies owe their existence to the bloody French and American revolutions.

>>712438614
That remains to be seen in the second game. If we ever get one lol.

Also wrong. You just need to kill one person right and the world will agree with your cause.

As someone who played this game a bit after the hype died down, how were the threads for this game? Were they all just this? Or was it mostly coomslop?

>>712431550
Racism is... le bad
Capitalism is... le bad
Church is... le bad

>>712444390
I feel like halfway into the game the writers realized Louis was actually too correct so instead they made him a giant hypocrite and everything was just for pure chaos sakes. Nothing else explains the post opera house Louis

>>712444671
Or maybe he was always a nutjob. Just because a villain can accurately point out the problem it doesn't mean their solution isn't usually even more batshit insane. That's what makes them villains in the first place.

>>712444231
They were quite good actually.

>caring about what others think or have to say about games
>/v/edittors of all people

>>712444231
They were good, the fact that you don't see much discussion these days points to a lack of coomslop if anything, compared to Persona threads which are only alive because they're full of retards who can't stop gooning to the waifubait in them.

>>712429217
thats not the point you faggot, will and his team show no interest in dismantling the economic system and monarchy that caused the game to happen in the first place, once he dies the entire situation can easily happen again with his children and another louis type figure

>The Prince is going to change things, he is just gonna do it [within the framework of a broken system set up by the tyrants]
Like I said, it's a juvenile, naive fantasy.

I remember this quote from someone in a chatroom
"I've spent years trying to explain GamerGate and the political landscape in the US to Japanese HQs and CEOs, and I swear the conversation has only gotten stupider. Right now, I'm trying to explain how these GG types supposedly "hate woke politics" but will voice their enthusiastic love for Metaphor Re:Fantazzio. And I think I'm accidentally creating this weird imaginary scenario where there are 2 sides to an epic struggle: Gay SJW Stuff VS Great Big Anime Tiddies. And the conclusion is.... I mean... you can have as much gay stuff as you want in a game as long as there are also tig ol' anime biddies. Am I saying this right?! Is this crazy?! Have others noticed this, or am I completely off base?!"
It's very concerning that fucking retards like this faggot are consulting for Japanese developers. You'd have to be braindead to describe Metaphor as an anime titty game.

>>712446894
But he is right. If you don't go after big anime tiddies or even small but good looking anime tiddies, you have carteblanch to do anything. The sky is the limits.

>>712446802
He is a fucking king, retard. He IS the system.

>>712447208
He's right in the sense that people are willing to overlook faggotry in your game if it's full of "cool design" but anime tits it's not

>>712447467
So your grievance is that Metaphor doesn't have nice anime tiddies? I don't know man, Eupha in the EO Summoner outfit is pretty good for me.

>>712444997
>>712445369
Honestly surprised, but still glad to hear that. I personally love the game and still sometimes think about it months just from it's OST

>>712447282
Yeah, a benevolent KING with supreme executive authority and the will and wisdom to do what's right. Once again, a fantasy.

>>712447624
The best part of Eupha isn't her tits, it's having the biggest, plumpest ass in Atlus history.

>>712447282
The fact that he can overthrow tyrants through a fucking ELECTION says very clearly that he actually has 0 power.

>>712447806
t. Louise. Fantasy is a window to your ideal self.

>>712448124
That's a technicality. The spirit of the argument is Anime girl sex appeal.

>>712447624
No my grievance is Japanese developers are taking advice from unbelievable retards

>>712448397
Oh, well that's true. But also not really a new problem, Japan has always had difficulty with PR over sees. Paul Marketting has never offered good advice to them in 40 years.
