Revives and magic in RPGs
Cordova, TN; August 21, in the year of our Lord 2017--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is exploring an interesting concept in role
playing video games. Numerous role playing video games have ways
for dead characters to revive. There is magic that can revive a
dead character. Some games have the dead characters come to back
to life after each battle. Some games bring people back to life
after taking them to church and paying a priest. There are items
in role playing video games that can bring characters back to
life. Jesus raised people from the dead. So being brought back
to life is actually in the Holy Bible, and something Christians
can identify with. Very few role playing video games reflect how
it is actually done in the Holy Bible though. This is a definite
missed opportunity in the video game industry.
Something that we have discussed here at Family Friendly Gaming
is the unfortunate disconnection in video games like Final
Fantasy VII. What is this disconnection? Aerith Gainsborough
died in Final Fantasy VII. It is part of the storyline. For some
reason none of the magic, or items could revive her. This does
not make much sense to me. Why have all of these revive items
and then have them unavailable? It just confuses the fantasy
world the video game developer is trying to create. Either they
work or they do not work. Remember Lazarus was dead for three
days before Jesus Christ brought him back to life. So the amount
of time a character is dead should not matter. That is my
personal opinion on it. What do you think?
God bless,
