>petrification is cured by golden needles
I don't understand this game mechanic in Japanese video games.
Is this ever used in western games? What should be the "actual" cure to petrification to actually make it make sense?

I wonder if in the 19th century they had anti-footfag autist sperging out about statue feet.
FOOTA
Acupuncture in Asian culture is generally overstated as a medicinal art to the point where they think you can lock down muscle groups entirely with a tiny needle.
And vice versa it stands to reason that petrification can be undone by the same process.

I thought acupuncture was used in Chinese traditional medicine only. Didn't know the Japanese used it as well.
But the acupuncture explanation works.
I mean, there's not really any logical cure to getting turned to fucking stone, anything would have to be some purely magical shit. Or I dunno, the venom of a gorgon or something.
Why yes, we're discussing video games here.
logically, even if they 'unstone' you, wouldn't you still be fucking dead?
did people in the old days ever coom to statues and portraits?
Well yeah if we're going by purest, most realistic logic, yeah, getting turned into stone and then having the stone turned back into flesh is just gonna leave a bunch of dead flesh.
maybe its a reference to this

why would you be, organisms have been found to survive years whilst being utterly frozen then thawed out, I imagine being turned to stone and having every atom of your body just 'paused' wouldn't kill you if you were unstoned
no because the SOUL left the body
China is right next to Japan bro. Japan used to take shit from China all the time. Traditional medicine (as in, before the introduction of European medical knowledge) in Japan is even called "Chinese medicine" because it was based on Chinese texts.
>What should be the "actual" cure to petrification to actually make it make sense?
Maybe one of those venoms that dissolves your organs
It's fucking magic, I assume your body functions get kickstarted again.
FOOTA you say?
There's a difference between being frozen and having your body turned into solid stone.
But this is then going into the semantics of whether or not petrification turns you into a solid statue, or if your organs are all turned into stone and your blood is kept a liquid or something.
>Muh soul
Get off inquisitionfag, you're nothing but electrical wires and water
cute feet
the cells would die in the process
>organisms have been found to survive years whilst being utterly frozen then thawed out
not complex ones
where does the petrification even come from in the first place? i mean are there japanese folklore shit about it or did all jrpg makers just look at medusa and thought it's cool
cute soles
Guh
you ever think some ancient lads got together to jerk off and cum on statues?
They took it from Wizardry and other early CRPGs. And those have petrifaction because D&D had it.
I mean medusa is cool as shit
People have been fascinated by statues for a long time

What's wrong with gold needles?
makes sense then
Reminder that these statues were painted back in the day, and the colour just bleached in the sun of 2 millenia.
Renaissance style statues that are just white marble are aping a style that never existed.
Matsu-ura Sayohime, a wife climbs a mountain so her husband can return safely and then she gets petrified.
I was hoping there would be some basis for it in Greek mythology, but the acupuncture thing brings up seems to make the most sense given the context.
How do you know that?
Is it really aping a style if it never existed though
cute cock
Only semen can cure petrification. If you see a statue of a naked woman, you should just coom.
Somewhat. They think the style existed, but it didn't. So they try to put rules and parameters on something that was enver intended.
Do you think ancient people got horny looking at statues too, or are we just hopeless coomers?
no one cares nigger.
I'm a certified scientist on GRADE SCHOOL HUMAN BASIC KNOWLEDGE
Isn't that literally just Final Fantasy, I haven't seen it anywhere else
yes.
I guarantee michaelangelo blew at least 5 loads over david while he was sculpting it. cause he was a faggot
Petrification might not allow that.
Have you never got piercied with needle when you have a cramp?
yea but they went beyond in mechanical skill, like the masters who crafted what looked like flowing gauze and cloth out of the stone, or pic related.
FOOTA
*uses golden needle*
BBRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPP
some kind of mix of bat urine
Dispel, duh.
There's so many statues with thick asses and visibile pussy. Every "fertility goddess" is an excuse to coom.
Haven't seen this version before, nice.
>color bleached in the sun
it washed/chipped off over a few millenia retard, most of the statues left from ancient era are eroded by the natural elements
>sneak into museum at night
>take off my clothes
>coom over a statue
>unpetrify thousand of year old naked roman qt
what next? she keeps staring at me confused and it's cold around here.
i remember reading somewhere that during ancient Greece, a coomer actually fell in love with a topless statue and tried to bang it. Coomerism is in our genes user.
No, it wasn't sexual
it's magic my nigga
It feels like it's probably meant to be a reference to some fairy tale, like the "Maiden's Kiss" is a cure for frog status in Final Fantasy
Is acupuncture as much of a quack practice as I am led to believe?
They definitely did.
wait a minute...
Ancient graphics were insane.
Imagine your brain trying to comprehend stone doing this for the first time.
