I'm noticing that Japanese developers tend to grab the "doomsday weapon" thing and just run with it. Pretty much every game about a war deals with them searching for some utimate power and then instantly having it get out of hand.
Can't imagine what part of their social psyche would compel them to constantly bring up the fact that world destroying technology is bad.
And then they instantly ruin the impact of that statement by having hair-tossing pretensious douchebags or rainbow haired teen survivalists or catsuit-wearing cyborg strippers waddling around the wasteland even though there probably haven't been hair salons or S&M shops for like, a century.
