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
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."
is this loss?
That is genius design in its sheer simplicity.
There's a preliminary non-fatal version of the fatal thing.
That player will simply WANT to not fall into the thing the first time
But as its level 1 they're JUST getting used to the controls.
So it's practice.
It would be so easy not to realize you should do this.
ok theres too much bouncing around
I'm still saying Japan is considerate!
