@nerthos @sun the anime artstyle gets way too much leeway because it's associated with the content that they are usually a part of not because the artstyle itself is good, don't get me wrong the artstyle is good and i am a fan of it, but the reason most do this argument is not because it is superior, but because they associate it with the medium.

it's kind of like how a lot of Video game soundtracks work, the game gives the tension and context to the song, so both end up elevating each other, but video game soundtracks are not above and beyond usual music, it's because the context of the game elevates the emotional context of the song, without that emotional context (or the knowledge of the context) the songs aren't all that great, not calling VGOSTs bad either, they serve their roles as video game soundtracks well, but they are designed for the game and rely on the game and surrounding context for their emotional resonance and tension.

@themilkman @sun I pointed at Fire Emblem specifically because it is good, not because it's anime-ish. Plenty of oriental aesthetic games that do it really wrong.

@nerthos @themilkman western gamedevs often have open contempt for japanese rpgs. I think they have a point but somehow this became a conduit for open racism lol
