It's an interesting divergence compared to the sorts of enemies you fight in most Western RPGs. Imagine running into any of these guys or the evil house from FF7 in an Elder Scrolls

    this is why I like the "monster battler" subgenre of Jrpgs because you actually get to be the cool monsters (Play Cassette Beasts you nerds)

      i wish there were 'monster battler' games for generic faceless power armor goons, i guess xcom etc. kinda approaches that but those badguy soldiers in ff13 have some exquisite looking gear and neato vehicles, western devs rarely put the same thought into their sci fi designs imo
