"Hrmmm...."
"Let's consider."
And then they calmly consider what could stop it. And calmly lock crosshairs on the correct option.
That sort of.. climax. Comes from a culture where that is the modus operandi of things.
Japan considers **everything.**
...no it doesn't
Ya huh.
I wouldnt use fiction as a way to describe their thought process as a whole
Gonna have to disagree with judging a culture by it's entertainment
**Ya huh.**
If you want something closer to reality
Id use historical movies
Seven Samurai
Tora Tora Tora was great in that regard
"This guy. He's not much of a fighter. But he's very jolly. He'll be very useful in a stressful pinch."
I'm paraphrasing.
But they find a way to be optimistic about his mediocre skills.
Then again thats the difference between murica and jap culture
And if you disagree, I have a hot "Ya huh" to say to you.
WHich ill admit I love japan when it comes to char design
Though to be honest, im a sucker for anythign Falcom
That's like saying, that guy may seem like he's nothing but miserable, but he's a right smile when you chuck him down a flight of stairs.
Well it's like.
They were about to get into a situation where they were gonna need a few laughs.
What's life without joy
It's a pragmatic way to think.
They CONSIDERED.
So its basically optimism or gallows humor
"Wait wait wait. Guys. I think we forgot to consider."
"--What?! Damn he's right. Let's go back."
You know for a game with genocide, concentration camps, and ethnic cleansing
Valkyria Chronicles is somehow jolly
Cringy dialog sometimes
I told you the word that I'd sum up Japan with.
But here's the GESTURE I'd sum up Japan with.
Nothin inconsiderate there, but I cant name another game with that theme in the US
Call of duty
A chin, jutting outwards slightly, rising up. And then the index finger, middle finger and thumb, sliding from the outskirts of the chin, to the tip, repeatedly
And a sound coming from the nose "Hrmmmmm.."
"HRMMMMMMM..."
