    That shirtless guy in Morrowwind was an asshole. Sending some kid into a basement to fight giant rats well knowing that it’d be their first battle and likely not surviving, while he stayed at home shirtless and well fit to remove those pestering rats, just pretending to be an alcoholic or something.

    What about the guy seeing a group of adventurers kill god and then telling them to kill rats?

    I don’t remember any FF game having a rat killing side quest even at the beginning of the game, let alone at the end after you’ve killed gods. Shit… I don’t even recall FF having side quests at all until, like, 7 with the optional boss battles for powerful materia.

    Killing rats is more of a western RPG trope.

      The very first thing you do as Vaan in FF12 is kill rats. Old Dalan even calls you Vaan Ratsbane when you meet him.

      Trails in the Sky definitely comes to mind. But if you browse Square Enix’s catalogue, there’s probably plenty that fulfill it. Final Fantasy stands out because it’s a little less tropey.

    Actually pretty close to BG 1/2. I think there’s rat-killing in Candlekeep, and you end up killing a near-godess.

    Well

    If any villagers were even still alive.

    Sorry DA:O family estate, workers, and also my bisexual lovers, rest well knowing that I carried out your vengeance. I guess I also kind of avenged any rats who survived my slaughter, too, huh? Does that make us even?

    Fucking weebs always thinking it’s about them. Never has there been another group of people that mistake references as much as weebs. Throughout the years I’ve seen replies thinking references from The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Halo are actually references to some anime crap, when the things from the anime crap were actually a reference to the originals mentioned.

    I hate weebs and anime so much.
