The importance of a rival

[sindriiisgaming]

If you want Marvel slop go play Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

and dragonball, and one piece, and yugioh, and pokemon, and DC, DEATH NOTE, and sonic. all stories with solid rivals. And you can dislike them as much as you may, but lets not pretend that those franchise aren't massively successful in part because of their strong rivalries

Rivalry is positively related to performance. We then performed a meta-analysis that confirmed that this relationship is statistically significant. We further found that this relationship is more robust for rivalries in the context of individuals compared to groups. The association between rivalry and performance is most prominent in certain domains, such as sports rivalry.

now if were going to argue ffxiv isnt a typical "shounen anime" I'm going to literally cite Stb/Shb/EW and DT as complete anime ripoffs.

Final Fantasy 14 director and producer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida says Dawntrail's new Viper job was partly shaped by the MMO community's desire to play a two-sworded melee DPS character who felt like Sword Art Online's Kirito.

> Viper is literally kirito.
> the ending of Endwalker mirrored the final fight in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
> The Powerup animation seen in ARR final fight seams to call back to the SSj aura in dragonball

but moving away from that, one of my most favourite movies is MEGAMIND, a movie that centers around the concept and importance of rivalry from the POV of the villian. The movie is amazing if you haven't seen it

I really cannot tell if this is ironic when you posted a bunch of cartoons for 13 year olds.

Nice one Titanmen, you really got me

The Pan European Game Information [PEGI] rating is 16:

PEGI 16
This rating is applied once the depiction of violence (or sexual activity) reaches a stage that looks the same as would be expected in real life. The use of bad language in games with a PEGI 16 rating can be more extreme, while the use of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs can also be present.

Cero:
Rating C (ages 15 and up) equivalent to ESRB's T (high end) rating, PEGI's 16 (low end) rating, USK's 16 rating, and OFLC's M (high end) rating.

Anyone who thinks the game is designed for 13-year-old players lives in a land of fantasy where the ESRB "Teen" rating is reasonable because "it sells more games." Which it does, if you go read about Japanese companies weighing whether it's good for business to get a Cero rating at all because it limits sales.

The ESRB has no equivalent to the "R" movie rating. It's either "OK for 13-year-olds" or "For mature audiences only".
