>>45299845>That is the closest thing it feels like lolThere's literally nothing that actually makes it feel like that though. Yes, the towers are "Japanese" (only because Japan borrowed Chinese architecture and a lot of aspects of Chinese culture), and the monks do look Asian, but that's the only actual strongly Japanese trait the game has. A sea serpent isn't particularly Japanese either. An island being surrounded by Whirlpools could be seen as vaguely Japanese, but I could argue that Clefairy is reminiscent of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter because it's said to have come from space like Kaguya. That doesn't mean that Gen I is like a Japanese folktale just because something vaguely resembles something Japanese.
