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

Don't test me or I'll "Ya huh" all over this fuckin place bro

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..."

"Okay so Super Mario. He mustn't fall into pits. The player must learn this, but without cheating them."

"So we have a death pit early on. But it's structured in the exact same way as a series of blocks from earlier, WITHOUT the pit. It will serve as practice."

"Hrmmmmm. I agree."
