Line 61:
*** The freedom lovers are also representations of logical extreme of [[The Hedonist|decadence]] and the enslaved group also make up of the [[Wretched Hive]] group as criminals and other unpleasant parts of life.
* ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'' firmly believes in the strength of the human spirit to overcome anything, and shows its heroes eventually surviving numerous trials to triumph over a [[Eldritch Abomination]] that was destined to doom their world, all by the aid of a mysterious Entity that allowed them to travel through time. The game ends with the three main characters happily looking forward to their futures.
** ''[[Chrono Cross]]'', however, is a bit more difficult to place on the scale. On the one hand, [[Humans Are
* ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'' was notable in its time (and still ''is'' notable) for being an idealistic RPG with an optimistic hero during an era in which [[Darker and Edgier]] RPGs reigned supreme.
* ''[[Spore]]'' itself is neutral, but the archetypes for space stage are definitely NOT. Warriors and Knights are Cynical, and Diplomats, Shamans and Ecologists are definitely Idealistic, to name a few. And then, of course, there are [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|The]] [[Knights Templar|Zeal]][[Holier Than Thou|ots]] who prove that a mixture of both is very, very bad, and {{spoiler|The Grox}} who pretty much hate every empire's guts.

*** Continuing on the [[Shin Megami Tensei]], there is moments where the heroes truly earn their [[Happy Ending]], namely ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]'', other are cautious about the neutral endings with various flavors of idealism.
** ''[[Devil Survivor]]'' draws from both sides and takes a hard look at them. It's got some very pointed and nasty [[Humans Are
** Of course Overclocked fixes {{spoiler|Yuzu's}} story while making {{spoiler|Amane's slightly more idealistic}} but {{spoiler|Naoya have the potential to become even more cynical.}}
*** [[Devil Survivor 2]] is similar to it's predecessor, however changes the situation around. Rather than forces of law controlling some sort of powerful entity. Yamato who wants a society reigned by Chaos pretty much calls all of the big shots. Meanwhile Ronaldo who follows the path of Law represents the downtrodden. Like before the endings are all over the spectrum
