Playing FF7 with my kids and we ran into this chump working for shinra who is now surprised they’re doing a terrorism
This dude becomes a bit of a badass in the remake. He doesn't just whine. He helps evacuate the people in the slums before the Turks blow up the strut after shouting down his commanding officer.
This is fantastic! A post without U.S. politics in !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world!
Finally!
What a VIIctory!
Too bad it's a statistical outlier.
I mean, do you really want to see this kinda stuff all over the world?
not having as much of it elsewhere could be a good thing?
The game is surprisingly relevant in 2026. And the remake just came to Xbox. And had this line.
Honestly, play any old game that features a conflict (especially a political, economic, and/or social), and you'll say that every time.
I played Fire Emblem Path of Radiance & Radiant Dawn last summer and me and my mom just kept going, "Wow. This is a little too on the nose right now." Like there was literally a leopards ate my face type of scene where these formerly apathetic villagers tried to sell out the MC and rebel group, and still got punished by the invaders. They basically had a "But we worked with you!" moment. Fantasy racism and facism just pulls from real life facism and racism.
Edit: Meant to also say when people go "Games weren't political!1!1!" that it's fucking bullshit lol.
I remember a few years ago some people got pissed over a clip posted from Legend of the Galactic Heroes and people were like, "this is from the 80s/90s. I think the scene was one where people protested in a stadium and a soldier fires, then everyone starts shooting and it's a masacre. Then the guy who's the "competent dictator" type is like "so this is democracy, eh". I think that's how it went.
