religious dogma in FFVII event pack

"May God Bless You" intro was in my FFVII event pack

I don't want it. I feel like they're shoving their religion in my throat with FFVII pack, do FFVII even have those phrase at all?!

for starter, how do I refund event pack or even complain to the game dev for this foul decision?

  • Wow, life must be absolutely horrible for people triggered by well wishes like this.  I'd recommend they stay at home, close the curtains, and just pray to the deity they believe in.  That or maybe join a commune of like minded people and never leave.  Going outside and engaging with anyone different from them must be excruciating.

    why should I care about Bloodhound line if he isn't even in FFVII?

    I want lines from FFVII in the FFVII pack, not low tier bloodhound line into FFVII pack

    @matzesingt FFVII talk like Odin 80% of time?

    I'm amaze that you couldn't see this is foul decision by the dev, like as if every animals out there on their knee praying and then saying God bless you to each other
  • @nyanbaconFirst of all there are gods in ff…

    Second and more importantly look how Aerith prayed for holy when she got killed…
    She prays like a Christian on her knees hands intertwined.in the remake you see her pray in such a pose multiple times even, I didn’t play the remake but she seems to even have a prayer skill. 

    the whole holy theme is designed arround christianity that’s why Alexander appears often with giant angel wings, holy is overall considered a sacred power in the games, Alexander literrly casts Divine judgement… even the final fantasy wiki acknowledges where it’s from.

    paired with praying for it and how aerith specificly prays for it, it should be relatively obvious where the inspiration comes from…

    even in ff 14 you have archbishop Thordan and a church 100% based on Christianity.

    you might not like it but Christianity clearly took its influence on ff

    Also please don’t misquote the Bible

    If the OP is genuine, I'm shocked this is the one thing about apex that I've seen trigger someone during my short time here.

    As I've told some of you already, I was actually a JRPG player that never played an fps and I approached this game to investigate it for problems it was causing a mentally ill friend of mine.  I had an amusing conversation with a video game exec when I first saw the characters and I was perplexed how some more easily offended people didn't protest racial caricatures in the game.  One thing noticed was Octane and Loba speaking with Latino accents and represent some negative stereotypes while lighter skinned women like Horizon and Wattson are the educated scientific minds of the group.  

    I mean, I thought for sure that these things would be controversial in this politically correct day and age, but for God bless you on a cosmetic item to be the only complaint I've seen of this nature and yet everyone is ok with other themes of apex as other players have mentioned, I just find it surprising.

    To the credit of the games developers, since actually becoming a player I have since learned that Respawn and EA fired the racists that were on their teams creative (when they discovered such) and they have since added characters that show diversity like how Conduit is a positive representation of the Filipino ethnic background.  So, I think this is one game that tends to be balanced in terms of offending its public.

    @ Everyone here.

    Just a small reminder, it is just a game.

    If you like it and have fun keep playing.

    If you do not, then play/do something else.
