Pretty sure magic's still a poorly-kept secret, and most people don't notice or just kind of ignore the random encounters, demons, ghosts, and so on.

or it just tends to happen to a select few very unlucky people who will inevitably end up saving the world.

If it wasn't for Koudelka Yuri would have never saved Alice.

On second thought, you mean the game itself right?

I'd argue Koudelka definitely is relevant but its in such a way that yeah, you could just start with Shadow Hearts 1 and still be fine.

Of course Koudelka is important.
The events of the game taught us that Wales is the universe focal point for the bad poo poo.

sad thing is, you can see parts of the system where it would work if it gotten some polish - and realize they didn't because of so many lovely subsystems that don't interact with the other systems or even work against it - for example you can't have a weapon break and a weapon skill level up in the same system especially with some weapon types being rare or will break quickly.

Persona 1 or 2 had Hitler as a villain. Though I feel he probably was a JRPG villain in more than one game.

Persona 2: IS
Not truly Hitler, but (re)born from a rumor based on a book that says he survived his suicide and is waiting for his time to come back.

Okay, I get that the evil book gave Kato access to necromancy and he seems to know some other sorcery as well now, but I don't think it covered cybernetics. Japan in this universe is weirdly high-tech for its time.

Bacon added an extensive section on mechanical and electrical engineering.
Theres a disclaimer in the beginning warning the reader and informing them of the much safer, much more reliable techniques contained later in the book.

Id be angry.
Betraying his friends so he can wage preemptive war on everyone? Thats a few more kicks between the ribs, minimum. Itd have been easier to accept if he didnt understand or cared about the weight of his actions, but he chose otherwise.

His whole speech before he gets a kicking of his life amounts to "I had no choice"

Hey, maybe Roger of all people, having read the uncut version of the Emigre, knows how to do it “properly”. It’s stated he removed the section on immortality, but maybe he hosed with the other parts, too?

Or maybe they stop at the “create a body” part.

e: also everyone else needed to murk a load of scrubs to accumulate Malice, whereas Yuri's been stomping trash mobs all game. His necklace is a nice, shiny resurrection-red!

The body creation is not the hard bit
Its the not having the body get possessed by a murderous eldritch demon anathema to all life.


Also I like the Large Bad Idea Collider theorem.

I mean I get that, but short of them inventing new dialogue, the takeaway from this scene appears to be that the characters didn't know each other.

Nah she could be saying Oji-san when talking to him and thats both a way to refer to your uncle or a less formal way to refer to an older man. So bad translations all around.

Translation is easy to make a poo poo job of when you have 0 interest in the context of things.

Pork is a scarcely used ingredient for curries, mainly because a lot of india is vegetarian, then of the remainder that do eat meat a majority is muslim. So I think the localizers may have pulled from a local curry place's menu, which, odds are, ran by pakistani or bangladeshi people, predominantly muslim.

I do love a good curry though.
