  • Obligatory FF7… an-tifa

    There’s an old PS 1 game called Legend of Dragoon… not too bad of a game but probably gameplay wise doesn’t hold up. BUT… its basically you getting a team of heroes from several the surviving races after another race (the only one who could naturally use magic) decided to do a genocide against everybody (and lost badly).

    There is a scene later in the game, where you’re in the ruins of a floating city that (I think) was the capital of the genociders. It is a barren husk of a place, devoid of all sentient life, there are no survivors of this race. However, some of the their machines were made with magic and are running on autopilot. There is a room where you can just hang out and watch these little flying robot things zip around and have scripted NPC dialogue where rules/laws are submitted and passed.

    It was this weird example of the banality of evil that I don’t think I’ve come across in a game before or since.
