I dont play licensed games. I like it when games are their own unique thing that arent an adaptation and dont rely on some alternate source material to exist.

You don't like stuff like the Disney licensed games developed by Capcom and Sega, or Konami's Warner stuff?

I played the one in OP and it was pretty ank iirc. But I don't know Japanese and never looked up guide vids.

I was simply asking that anon if he doesn't even enjoy those commonly well liked games made by good japanese devs, despite being licensed.
This isn't anime vs western animation thing.

There is only one third impact. Rebuilds don't exist.
The story is about the cold war and the development of the energy and computing industries. NERV represents a nuclear power plant and looks the part. The angels represent actual disasters and the fears that people had as we transitioned to nuclear power.

>Rebuilds don't exist.
Anon, it's literally jewish mysticism

>>12408405
The jewish mysticism was just a veil of cool and "otherworldly" imagery for Japanese people. Everyone focuses on the characters' sex lives and judeo-christian imagery, but that ain't the point. There are episodes mimicking the chernobyl disaster (no, I'm not just talking about Jet Alone), it's an allegory for a particular generation's fears about technology. And the Rebuilds gloss over it completely.

LOL, OK mate
So you're upset because rebuilds ignore your narrative

I didn't like the rebuilds because 3 was such garbage I couldn't defend it. CGI battles? I don't care. Doubling down on mystical names to make everything mysterious? Don't care.
Do you love remakes of retro games that go in different directions and retcon the originals? ..that's what I thought.

>>12408419
>Do you love remakes
It wasn't a remake anon, it was a sequel

>>12408421
Yeah, that's what they say to justify it. Sounds like a retcon to me because the original had no indication of a magic time loop. Do you consider the FF7 side games, side movies, and remakes to be canon to the original FF7?

>Yeah, that's what they say to justify it

>>12408428
So, what you're saying is, you love FF7 remakes because of the time-jannies and think that their existence makes them a canon part of something made 25 years before by different people in different times of their lives?
I don't remember time jannies in the original, it's a retcon trying to tie the new moneygrab in with the original.

>>12408429
>Me: I like Waffles
>You: So you're saying you hate Pancakes?

>>12408436
What? You showed a pic from the rebuilds indicating a cyclic nature. The time jannies in FF7R indicate a cyclic nature.
They do this to mentally tie in that these are *ackshually* part of the original cannon - when they are not because they were introduced in the sequels 25 years later, not in the originals. It's the same thing. Rebuilds are not Evangelion just as Remakes aren't FFVII.

I liked this one a lot some years ago. You can play as basically any Evangelion character, though only a few characters can actually get good endings. PSP version might be a bit better.

>>12408447
Pretty sure 3.0+1.0 confirms the original story is NOT part of the same canon, since Gendo has to look into other timelines, and not history, to see where Shinji rejected instrumentality
There are hints that Rebuild itself is cyclical, but not that the OG is part of it

>>12408934
>Still no translation.

Feels bad, man. The stories look interesting.

>>12408941
With modern tech? Shouldn't be too hard to play it with machine translation (though most of the day to day text is nonsense anyways).

>>12408934
I never thought about it, but since this one is called "Neon Genesis Evangelion 2", does that mean it's a sequel to the N64 game? Even thought they are nothing alike gameplay wise, I guess that's what it means, since it's the second game in Bandai's "Neon Genesis Evangelion" series.
There's also the Saturn Neon Genesis Evangelion but that's Sega's, not Bandai

It's presented as both "episode 26+1" and "episode 27"
But yeah it's more of an omake type of short, it's about half an episode in duration

>>12408126
GoS (PS1) was the first one I played. Was not even familiar with the concept of VN back in the 90s so it was really weird. I also did not know any japanese bakc then so I was trying to follow the story just by the images and the voices' tones.
Then I played the old Windows "Angel Attack" mini game around 1999 or 2000. I think it may have been 1999 actually, looking for Eva shit online was one of the first things I did.
Never played any of the others but the N64 one always looked great and still does.

>>12408126
I didnt even know this exists

>>12408126
None. I've never even seen the show. Everyone I've ever heard talk about it in person makes it sound like pretentious slop.

People IRL never talk about Evangelion where I live, it's always just western Netflix shit or modern animeslop like chainsawman. I'm jelly.

>>12415483
Eva is weird as all fuck. It's utterly confusing and ambiguous as all hell and deliberately leaves shit perpetually unresolved to be unsatisfying and incomplete in ways that leave the fandom wanting more.

The worst thing is that the western fanbase of it all live in this bubble where they just agree on "the correct way to interpret it" even if someone watching the show wouldn't have reason come to those same conclusions at all. The most damning evidence for this is how the Japanese, including the show's creators and actors, hold completely different views that counter what the English fanbase think, but they don't care and carry on like they know best by ignoring all this anyway. They are basically incestuous in their ouroboros like discussion and like to feel they are 'in on it' and are smart enough to have figured out all the same (barely supported) shit themselves.

>>12418030
The west is always more obnoxious than the japanese, any fandom.
I'm really tired of always reading the same midwit takes such as "anno hates otaku!" or "the religious symbolism doesn't mean anything!"

>>12418030
It is ambiguous, but it really encompasses so many critical parts of human life you could apply it to many things.
If you focus on slice of life character interactions you think it's an introspective analysis of sexuality and finding meaning in a confusing social reality.
You could also focus in on how it deconstructs introverted nervous people.
You could also say it reflects the development of energy production in the mid-1900s.
You could also say it's about government secrecy and international affairs.
It's all of those things and more. It's not just "the author was trying to say this one thing."
>>12419384
Even Anno admitted the religious symbolism didn't mean anything and was there to be mysterious and "otherworldly" to Japanese viewers. He had no idea what any of that shit meant and in '95 the internet wasn't what it is today.

i have to rewatch it again, because when I finally watched the show only a year or two ago, this claim came as bullshit too me.
I know it's an actual quote, I've seen people yap about this show for almost fucking 20 years, I know the Japanese just think western religion looks cool and mysterious I'm an SMT fan, but the minute I finally watched the show they seemed to know a bit more than what they let on. It just worked too well.
People have asked Anno if the show and characters mean anything personal to him at all which he responded to with "Not at all", which is obviously bullshit. He's a leg puller. The show is also filled with western psychology and philosophy which he was obviously into, you don't need internet for that.

>>12421662
I'm sure he says things like that to easily dismiss morons who has been asking him the same idiotic questions over and over again everywhere he goes. and I don't blame him.

>>12415483
The creators admitted all the Christian imagery is only there because it looks cool. The plot is rushed and only barely makes sense. It's clear they didn't think of a cohesive ending and just made something up at the last second, the whole thing feels like they made it up as they went along. What they put their effort into was the animation and the characters and I don't think they even hide it. I wouldn't call it pretentious, it's pretty honest about what it is and the rebuilds are Anno himself telling you to stop overthinking and overanalyzing his children's cartoon from decades ago and go get a life.

None because i'm not a loser like you

>>12422676
>implying

>>12422670
I've read those interviews too but to me it seems a bit more than just "we used crosses and bible words to look cool", there's some neat mixture of real religious themes and Anno's own sci-fi story, so you get 2 original "humans" or forms of life called Adam and Lilith, and then there's another one made out of Adam's "rib": the EVA.
It also draws from Anno's previous work, Nadia, where occult themes are also explored, and there's also "Adam", the first human, who is also a giant.
Of course these tv shows aren't a theological or historical thesis on religious texts but it does way more than just "use imagery to look cool", the themes themselves mesh well with the sci-fi aspect, besides the imagery.
