Thrillhelm Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 As with the other two games from this company (the blue cross in the logo is for a reason) the game is an attempt to bring you closer to the bible, and this time more obvious than ever by having an explanation text that comes up a few after a few seconds at the starting screen. The Hebrew 12 they refer to is about asking God for forgiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffboy265 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) I wounder on how far games can go with religion or even people talking about different religion‘s on PSN? Is there a rule by Sony on how far they can go? Or does Sony let that open for the government (Company that put the Age Rating on the Games) to decide on it?

Well then they probably should have looked at the Christian symbol right on the game picture or read the first sentence of the product description to be the minimal amount of informed consumer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Atlus's games are heavily inspired by different religions, though Persona 4 and 5 are kinda lax on that. Nocturne is soon to be released in the West on the Switch and PS4. The Castlevania games are heavily influenced by Christianity and there's two collections (maybe more) on the PSN. A lot of Japanese games have had the "church is the bad guy" trope whether it's an actual religion or a fictional one. I couldn't tell you if any of them are on the PSN though.

And this is NA region only. There's a misunderstanding on the naming origin of the game. 'Soccer' as it is known in the US, was originated in England when the Football Association abbreviated the name to 'Assoccer' that was then further shortened to 'soccer' in roughly 1863, or there about. This was done so to bring a further clarification between the 'Football Association' and the 'Rugby Football Union.' The name of soccer was, at one time, widely recognized in the EU and England and was growing in popularity during the World War II era. However, at some point after the war, there was a growing opinion that the perversion of American culture influences on the game created a derogatory prestige against the British in the early to mid 1980's. This grew rapidly to the point where the term 'soccer' was mostly unrecognized in the 90's and has since been 'football' in most EU countries as the correct referencing name to the game. The US actually did try to add 'football' to the name, but it was too confusing and wordy for the governing body of sport. It was once called the United States Soccer Football Association, and was formally changed to US Soccer Federation in 1975 to simplify and remove confusion. If anything, if anyone were to blame, should you be looking to point fingers, it should be towards England for popularizing the term originally. But in the end, I think it is more productive to celebrate the game and not get crossed up in a name. Edited April 4, 2021 by Dreggit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Hand Egg is funny! I've never heard it before, haha I hate every religion and want them all to be destroyed but I don't care if a game has a bible verse in it. I don't care if it's made by some kid during sunday school or a nun on a typewriter. Plenty of games celebrate "evil" and they don't affect us. A game suggesting you look in a story book won't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
