Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[HyoMinPark]

You have misunderstood me. I'm not saying FFXIV's afterlife has borrowed from Christianity, but in fact the opposite. The game is referencing it without any context. It's IRL iconography in-game which supposedly has "no place" there. You're also glossing over the direct mention of Taoism.

Saying the opposite would be saying that Christianity borrowed from FFXIV’s afterlife. Considering that makes zero sense...

Referencing the afterlife in any form of media is referencing an archetype. As are all the other references you have tossed out (good versus evil; light versus dark; angels and demons, and devils and gods). Last I checked, there wasn’t a ban on borrowing common archetypes and using them in any form of media. That doesn’t make anything exclusive either.

All I was doing was pointing out how misinformed it is on your part to assume that all of the above described are inherent to Christianity. They’re so commonly found in other religions and cultures that they have evolved into literary archetypes.

By all means, show me proof how the Taoist glamour is representative of Taoism. If anything, it’s representative of a type of Chinese dress; not of the religion.

The halo depicted is in line with the Western image of angels derived from Christianity. The one Buddha is often depicted with is quite different.

They’re still all classified as halos. Christianity doesn’t have an exclusive claim on halos, just like it doesn’t have an exclusive claim on angels and demons; and the ones commonly found behind Jesus aren’t at all like the one depicted in the Angelic Attire glamour.

What on earth happened again with this thread, come on guys....I thought we fixed some issues by now.

It was fine for at least a little while until someone else came up and started crying about discrimination...
