Fair. I think jrpgs tend to be worse for this than anime since it’s a rule of thumb thst video game plots have to explain why the protagonist is uniquely capable of going on the main quest, and the easiest explanation is “they’re just a special being, okay?”
Obviously the difference is purely the medium, since jrpg are very much video game anime a lot of the time, but those are anime, not jrpgs.
:-p Misread. Apologies.
But fine, then. This is FF7 erasure.
