what would japanese rpg creators do without C.G. Jung and christianity?

@lain plenty of shinto symbolism to go around too. Wish there were more games that utilized eastern religion and mythology instead of western ones tbh. But western is probably more interesting to them because it's different, same reason why eastern is interesting to me.

@lain also not exactly Christianity, more like abrahamic religion in general. Most of the stuff they use is old testament which is more or less the same across the big 3 just called different stuff. Anything extra they use is usually apocrypha, but sometimes it'll go even deeper into what one could consider Jewish/Christian "mythology." Haven't really seen the same thing for Islam but I can only assume it is because that's deemed to be much more offensive.

I'd like to see more games that have themes of alchemy too. Not just like crafting game mechanics but the whole belief and its practitioners secrets.
