I feel like... even JRPGs do this? In all honesty, I'm not sure what the distinction is in the stuff Gat's mentioned. Seems like it's no more and no less than a few characters acknowledging in fairly typical ways (fangirls, "back in my day" old man) a thing in the game. |

| By comparison hearing about some NPCs mentioning a thing that's just about to happen to the player seems pretty basic? |
No, no, that's exactly what I was saying.

LoD has the significance of being a really really really really boring RPG whose every admirer treats it as god's gift to humankind. Look up almost any unofficial thing about the game and you'll see an unusually high level of fanaticism. I don't get it! |

| FFX's people don't shut up about Yevon because the religious narrative is tied to a recurring catastrophe. I don't think you can dismiss the game's presentation of its religion just because of its cultural pervasiveness. There are a lot of other ways to dismiss it, though! |
