But they're not punishing you", he said. "They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and ... you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away.

The fear of blood (that is, mortality and the frailty of life) tends to create fear for the flesh (that is, thanatophobia and a sense of self-preservation by consequence).

This sort of crap is why you can't take "gamers" seriously. You're the dumbest and least cultured audience compared to any other art medium. It's a simple phrase, clearly the product of a literal translation from another language.

There's nothing "pretentious" about this. You cannot simplify that sentence any further before stooping down to the level of children. The only way to make it any simpler would be to write something like "People are afraid of getting hurt, and that makes them scared of dying, because they know people can get hurt and die".

How can you be so stupid and illiterate. Even worse, you are probably native English speakers. Unwashed phoneposting barbarians.

What "proof" do you want, you nigger, there is nothing in the game that will help elaborate on that painfully simple sentence. Are you some lorenigger so obscenely dependent cuck soiboi YouTubbers you NEED some authority of your choice to tell you one plus one equals two? You absolute drooling retard.

>If you just insult me then you lose, btw.
This is not an ad hominem thing, right? Illiterate retards tend to think being insulted equals a fallacy, which is false. The fallacy is substantiating a claim with an appeal to the other party's personal quality, which is not what has been done. In this case the insult is a bonus. Think of it as an extra gift, it's not part of the argument. Retard.

so something one of the former devs talked about made me think about the series.
he said that you can't really remake these games.
and i think that's pretty true.
trying to fix anything that makes the games bad, would actually loop around and make the games worse.
these games really do need the jank they came with.
it's like this simpsons joke.

kek so stupid and tryhard. It is completely meaningless and is only really to create horror in the player. Its okay since it is a horror game but I am sure these lore autists have created every little detail in their minds for meaning in what really has no real meaning. The devs just created some edgy sentence for scares because it is a horror game. The end.

How can you be so fucking dense? The phrase makes sense on its own, there is nothing in the game or that your saintly immaculate devs had said, so what else are you going to do other than taking it at its face value?

But lets entertain your """logic""" for a minute. If sentences, for some reason, aren't meant to be taken literally, and, for some reason, we assume the words in that phrase makes no sense, for some reason, then WHAT THE FUCK do you want to do with it, you absolute dipshit?

Are you incapable of reading a book without reading a comment from the author on EVERY SINGLE WORD in a book? Are you incapable of watching a movie without the director saying in interviews what EVERY SINGLE SCENE means? Are you incapable of listening to a song and to understand the lyrics without the writer/composer saying EXACTLY WHAT THE LYRICS mean?

Are you seriously incapable of comprehending one single high school English level phrase on your own, without some EBIN LORE to give it meaning? Do you seriously expect everyone with an IQ higher than room temperature to simply stop experience and interpreting works of art if there isn't some other lorenigger digging up interviews from 1996 or summing up the consensus of other loreniggers, especially loreniggers YouTubers or some shit?

You're a sad piece of shit. A brainlet, uncultured, illiterate piece of shit, incapable of experiencing art designed for Japanese teenagers. You're hopeless.

I heard it has some kind of meaning though, it might refer to Dante questioning his humanity as a half-devil, wondering if he could cry, and if it would prove he has a human heart. Pretty cool take imo, cheesy and romantic
