Let's see:
Ancient Greece - Male society
Roman Empire - Male society
European Dark Ages - Filled with male societies
European Middle Ages - Even more filled with male societies
Renaissance - Male societies
18th and 19th centuries - Male societies
Dictatorial regimes - Male societies

...so yeah.

The old Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi - India's only female Prime Minister, flirted with a Dictatorship a bit there too, just saying. Again, there are some isolated examples saying otherwise to both sides.
 
Yes yes, patriarchal societies have been pretty popular. I better get my damn slime plush since I preordered Dragon Quest VI and it wasn't at Gamestop for some reason.

When it comes to JRPGs, I think Final Fantasy still has it beat. It puts much more effort on character development and story(usually more on characters than story), and the music isn't incredibly mediocre and forgettable. The combat changes quite a bit from game to game too, so it doesn't get stale. Dragon Quest has much more charm and interesting features in each game, but the battle system is just so incredibly archaic.

And then there's Persona, which has great characters and a great story, but the only bad part is that the game forces you to suffer through one of the worst combat systems ever made. I wouldn't harp on the battle system if it really wasn't absolute garbage.

Is this why I don't really play Persona 4 anymore or is it the fact that I set the game to be incredibly hard so that the bosses and the battles at that point would be such a huge pain that I would eventually lose motivation to try and beat them and forget about playing the game? :(

That's probably why. Most of the time you just ***** out the enemy's weakness until they croak. It's oftentimes easy, or pretty hard for the wrong reasons.

Not that Final Fantasy is any less broken. Final Fantasy VI has Celestriad which reduces the MP cost of every spell to 1, and with Terra you can deal about 8,000+ every time. And you can cast Quick, which gives you two turns instead of one, along with Reraise, Curaja, and the like.

…And then you have Miracle Boots which you can acquire at the Coliseum, which gives your characters Auto-Haste, Protect, Shell, and Regen.

I'm not going to lie, I liked FF for the reasons that it has a broken battle system in a positive way. You can sometimes make your characters so flipping invincible sometimes(well it depends in the game, but I would assume it holds true for all of them), and that the game wouldn't necessarily be hard anymore after the point where you make yourself freaking immortal. Reduce damage by half, Double the damage you deal, and increase the amount of turns you go and that's pretty much the entire game there.

The only problem is that some bosses are completely broken as well. Emerald WEAPON has 1,000,000 HP and its Aire-Tam Storm kills you automatically if you have 9+ Materia equipped, and at least one of the materia that you have to equip must be Underwater Materia unless you plan on taking off 1,000,000 HP under 20 minutes.

Ruby WEAPON was a joke though, if you knew how to enter battle. The designers forgot to give it an immunity to paralysis, so you could kill it extremely fast by just casting Hades and chipping away at that 500,000 HP.
I would know this; If you know the Xenosaga series, it has a similar system. Except the best way I've gotten through the entire game(well, Xenosaga II at least) is to cut the enemy(and bosses, it works on them too)'s accuracy in half, and literally 95% of their attacks would most likely either miss, or do very little damage otherwise while you proceed to kick their asses. There's really no need for Haste or anything like that when you have all the time in the world until they regain their accuracy back(in that case, you can proceed to cut it again. It's a fun thing, really. n__n).

I have I and II, but I never got around to playing it. It looks too boring, and I have a backlog of other shorter games that I'd rather finish first.

lol Did you ever do the sketch Glitch? That glitch, and Psycho Cyan are all useful.

I only played the GBA version sadly. I'm not a huge fan of Woolsey translations, as charming as they may be.

 
I play the Harry Potter games purely for the lulz. They're not generally any good, they're just kind of a way... kill time, I guess.

But the second one was hella addictive, I don't even...
