Date: 2024-12-05 03:33 pm (UTC)The Persona series dives deeper into Jungian psychology with each successive game (a thing which distinguishes Megami Ibunroku Persona from Shin Megami Tensei). P5 explores this, along with a big dose of questioning morality, from the dark side perspective of picaresque anti-heroes. Metal Gear games share Hideo Kojima's common thesis: father hates war but loves the idea of being a war hero, takes out his internal conflicts on the son, who kills the father. They make good stories not because they are timely or prescient, but because their themes are timeless.
As for Donald Trump? Don't underestimate the power of controlling a nation-wide personality cult.
