Basically anything from Japan that tries western themes.

>>3165005
You know things like evangelion are considered blasphemy right? mostly japan just uses christian words because they think they sound cool

>>3165014
Hence why I said "themes", quoting from the OP's "implicit themes/message" request.

Japan is pretty good at portraying Christianity, minus the practicing part.

Ultima IV.

>>3165014
Evangelion borrowed stuff from Norse religions, Christianity and many others

>>3165586
The only christian relation is be nice to others.
Do you know anything? There's worshipping flase Idols a plenty in Ultima, let alone Magic.

This thread is awful.

>>3165029
Ergo, Megami Tensei.

>>3165609
>There's worshipping flase Idols a plenty in Ultima
There's worshiping false idols in Christianity.

>>3165609
Giving to the poor, showing mercy to your enemies, being honest, and not being excessively prideful are all core Christian values which can be found in Ultima 4, have you actually played it?

Also, I don't remember seeing any idol-worship in Ultima.

Also certain kinds of magic are permissable, according to medieval scholars such as Thomas Aquinas

>>3165014
no, they love christian mythology. Every religion's mythos just explains shit, only christianity digs beyond that and makes star wars or LOTR look like a dr seuss book.

>>3165624
Yes i have played it.
Giving to the poor
Not being prideful.
>Could be any religion
Idol worship
> what are shrines
Magic
>starts using niche ideas

This is why religion is shit.

>there goes the thread

Chiller for NES.

>>3165872
....Did you seriously just call Aquinas "niche"?

I'm not responding to the rest of your post. This is bait, I'm being trolled.

>>3165956
You've already bitten chum by assuming i take theology as a serious form of study. Thanks bud

Pick one.

>>3166054
you're smoking mad amounts of crack if you think that Super Noah's Ark 3D isn't one of the best Wolf3D clones of all fucking time.

>>3166827

It's nowhere near one of the best. It's probably the worst - it's just a reskin of Wolf with shittier graphics and sound.

If you're gonna wax philosophic on Wolf3D clones, why not pick the one that was better than Wolf3D, Rise of the Triad?

>>3164981
I swear there will be tons of these games for PCs.

>>3164981
The game about civilizations for the religion about civilizations.

Dragon Quest. You can go to church to heal and shit

Tekken is based off Christian mythology.

>>3166879
I play this on occasion and I love the game so much. I don't really try to go you war a lot, I sign a treaty while a bro and I protect each other. Until I'm strong enough to thump them that is.

Noah on NES is pretty good

>>3166889
No it's not.

Not quite retro but in this game you play Gutenberg who's bible gets ganked by demons.

>>3164981

Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings games often do a sufficient portrayal of medieval/renaissance Christianity, highlighting both the good and bad aspects.

>>3166054
Thought this said Super Mud Shark from the thumbnail.

Thanks interracial porno.

Terranigma. Actraiser. Chrono trigger. A shitload of snes rpgs. cmon guys

>>3164981
You should play Xenogears. Really any of the Squaresoft games from the PS1 era. They all shared some kind of edgy dicklord storyline about how the Church lies to all the people and secretly pulls the strings behind global politics.

For whatever reason, Japanese people in the 90's and early 2000's had a real hard on for Fuedal Germanic Europe (Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire, that sort of thing). So they used the story of Charlemagne rising up to claim power by using the Church as a stepping stone. That story is at least the rough basis for a bunch of JRPGs from that era.

>>3167663
See Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, FF9, Chrono Trigger, Vagrant Story, etc.

>>3167660
>Terranigma. Actraiser.
My nigga. Enix/Quintet really nailed it.

>>3167663
Why don't you go bomb an abortion clinic you stupid kosher fundie.

Fuck off.

>>3164984
What does that have to do with Christianity?

>>3167698
Dude, what? 663's post was perfectly reasonable.

>>3167660
>Terranigma
Terranigma is buddhism 101, there's nothing, literally nothing taken from the christian tradition.
>CT
>Christianity

At least you got Actraiser right.
>>3167663
>You should play Xenogears
Xenogears' theme are taken straightly from hermetic Kabbalah, which is as jewish as you can get, the only vague christian reference was that silly use of the totallynot!Shroud of Turin for the Wave Existence.
>They all shared some kind of edgy dicklord storyline about how the Church lies to all the people and secretly pulls the strings behind global politics.
Maybe if you only played Xenogears and FFT, like you did, and besides that's the truth, plain and simple.
>So they used the story of Charlemagne rising up to claim power by using the Church as a stepping stone. That story is at least the rough basis for a bunch of JRPGs from that era.
I'm gonna need you to support this ludicrous claim, but I doubt you can anyway.

Have any of you morons even finished high school?
Do you even actually know anything about the christian tradition or are you those kind of religious people who claim they're christian/whatever but don't even know half of the religion?

And none of you mentioned fucking Black and White for god's sake, get it together.

>>3168640
>Do you even actually know anything about the christian tradition or are you those kind of religious people who claim they're christian/whatever but don't even know half of the religion?

But that's what 90% of the faithful actually are. Most of the people sitting at the pews every sunday have never read the bible cover to cover and never will.

I guess they will still go to heaven; AFAIK it's not a sin to be a prole with no sense of curiosity.

theres this game
super noahs ark 3d
and there was another fps game where you played an archangel.
and its not Messiah, or Requiem

>>3168640
>Do you even actually know anything about the christian tradition or are you those kind of religious people who claim they're christian/whatever but don't even know half of the religion?

I worked in a church for 15 years, but would not call myself religious, certainly not Christian. But I also wasn't dumb enough to recommend Xenogears.
