■概要 Summary
Video games reflect the culture in which they are made, whether intentionally or not. If games were to accurately portray reality, they would be mundane and uninteresting. Therefore, when designers aim to simulate reality in games, they must stylize certain aspects to make the gameplay enjoyable. This is where the cultural element becomes significant, as the choice of what to stylize and how to stylize it is influenced by the cultural context. This presentation will compare the simulated game-world and the simulated player-character in two role-playing games, namely the Final Fantasy and The Witcher game series, to see how they reflect the cultural context in which they are created and consumed. To analyze the games in question, I will first refer to Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the chronotope to identify the repetitive patterns that construct each game. Once I have identified the chronotopes within the games, I will analyze them using postmodern theories of popular culture and mass media to understand how different choices in the simulation process reflect the cultural identity of the games.
