So I finished a second playthrough to elaborate on some thoughts for the video since this game isn't too long and I thought I'd share some things I didn't really discuss cause I couldn't find a good way to integrate it with what the video in full is really about.
While my thoughts on the story are mostly the same I will say I did budge more on specifically the way the game uses and validates wrath and anger as valid emotions that can lead to great change and genuine revolution. We're told day by day and bit by bit that anger is something that we should try to avoid and generally I agree especially if its just anger for the sake of it like the game itself does. When Asura loses complete control he's not pointed towards any goal or target he's just generally going at it.
When he's under control and his wrath is far more focused he's able to accomplish so much especially when he motivates others to encourage their wrath to drive them to be the change they wanna see in the universe. Anger and wrath are drivers to revolutionary cause and I think the way this game touches upon that within its bombastic shonen anime showiness is magnificent.
Also wow yeah I think the JP dub is better honestly. The English VA's aren't terrible but some just don't really fit their characters well imo. Asura and Yasha are great but characters like Deus and Augus just feel bizarrely stiffly performed. So personally whenever I play this again I'll just stick with the JP voices cause I think they perfectly match the vibe of every character.
Anyway, here's the video if ya wanna go check that out! I'm really proud of it and I hope ya'll dig it!
