Light Is Not Good/Video Games: Difference between revisions

** M. Bison's "true" form in ''[[Street Fighter EX]] 2'' wore a white uniform.

* The final bosses of the ''[[House of the Dead]] 2'' and ''3'' are magnificent shiny quicksilvery creatures bearing a striking contrast with the usual shambling rotten and untidy lot of the zombie army. They are still dicks though.

** In fact, Solaris was the original being. Iblis was the embodiment of his pure unrestrained power and Mephiles was his consciousness, which was probably shadowy and dark due to how ''supremely pissed off'' Solaris was at being experimented on.

* The Bastard of Kosigan series (fan-made ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' expansion) has the classic angels and demons of Christian mythology as the 'order' and 'freedom' factions of a race of precursor humans, but the 'order' faction (who are definitely rather nasty, going directly to deadly force whenever anyone says 'no' to them) eventually won their war for the hearts and minds of ordinary humans and killed all the 'chaos' faction (except for two 'demons', one of whom is revealed to have been St. John and the other is your character's deceased mother, who stole Archangel Gabriel's (the leader of the 'order' faction) sword)

* One of the major plot points in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''. The major villain, {{spoiler|Mithos, is a [[Fallen Hero]], and his main form of attack carries over into his villainous style}}. Appearing as a [[Bishonen]] angel with wings of multifaceted crystal, he uses mainly Light based attacks, and has a very specific vulnerability. What is it? Why, darkness! In fact, all the angels {{spoiler|except Kratos and Yuan}} have that weakness.

** Only two of the Summon Spirit boss fights result in a [[Game Over]] when you lose, one being the humanity-hating Volt, and the other is the Luna and Aska battle, and Luna and Aska are the Summon Spirits of Light. They're the last Summon Spirits to form a pact with, and since {{spoiler|Kratos}} is on the previous floor, there's no opportunity to leave and level up. So a Game Over is the only logical end to a lost battle.

* Regardless of their leader's alleged [[Omniscient Morality License]], Celestia in ''[[Disgaea]]'' qualifies as this. Though not evil, they are people capable of being very wrong while also being very sure they're right, and aren't above [[Fantastic Racism]] towards demons ''and'' humans. We do know that Lamington and Flonne aren't as apeshit about order as [[Knight Templar|Vulcanus]], but the rest...

** Actually in this sense it would seem that Lamington was usurped by the ambitious Vulcanus (despite him having no chance), and the rest of the angels merely followed orders. Lamington never actually does anything offensive besides dealing with Vulcanus and Flonne, however Flonne is dealt with by their laws {{spoiler|and in the good ending returns as a fallen angel rather than being turned into a flower}}. Flonne seems to be ruled more by ''[[The Power of Love]]'' and the ''[[Rule of Cool]]'' than anything else. She has no prejudices (and in fact states as much early in the game) and no real desires beyond living a happy life and bringing love to those around her.

** Kefka also talks an awful lot about [[Kill It with Fire|burning things]], fire being a good example of the destructive side of light.

* ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'' also had the good-guy Warriors of Darkness in its backstory, fighting the evil "Flood of Light" that threatened to burn away all of creation.

** Try nothing. {{spoiler|He succeeds completely, becoming master of heaven and hell before you even get there. He's still a tosser though}}

* In ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'', the gods Alexander (light) and Odin (darkness) are in constant opposition. Every few hundred years they break free from where ever they are to fight each other in a "Ragnarok", in an attempt to destroy each other and mowing down anyone in their paths. Showing that [[Dark Is Not Evil]], Odin is the more magnanimous of the two as he, {{spoiler|beseeched by a servant who had repeatedly defied Odin's orders, saves the life of an Empress who was shot with a holy beam meant for him.}}
