It's so funny to me that this game starts out trying to be game of thrones and it ends... there. Squenix set off to make a dark fantasy political drama and wind up with it ending with the player character killing god seemingly out of habit
I like @OhPoorPup's read of this as an intentional genre twist, pivoting hard from "grounded political fantasy" to "anime kaiju" as a stylistic decision, although I'm not sure I entirely believe it
It feels like they are having fun with it from the start, to me, enough that it doesn't seem unmotivated or like whiplash. People lighting cigarettes with magic crystals. "May the blessing of the crystals be with us." Garuda's entire... thing
