| Topic | Weird realization: Tales of Beseria is the JRPG of Atlas Shrugged |
| EmoCombeeDancin 02/23/18 3:18:18 AM #1: | I'm going to intentionally keep this as spoiler free as possible (for tales of beseria) Thinking about the book today, I couldn't help but realize how much Velvet reminds me of Dagny Taggart, which lead me to realize the book and the game have almost the exact same themes. A group of innovators motivated by self-interest come together to stop the entire world from stagnating. The entire game is basically an exploration of the ineffectiveness of government mingling, while the anarchists continue to seek self improvement towards their own goals throughout the story. Similar themes: - Characters from both media use the phrase "Don't expect me to apologize" as a catchphrase - The concept of striving to surpass a goal, and the peace of being surpassed by someone who works harder than you is repeatedly driven through both stories - Using "Reason" as a buzzword to destroy all reason It's pretty cool that the best tales game ever is a rousing endorsement of capitalism! On another note, the incredible repetition of ideals as catchphrases is a trademark of both Rand novels and Tales games alike! I bet Ayn is kicking herself for not thinking of the phrase "courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality" --- SantaRPG Turning letters into other letters since 2008 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
