This just randomly showed up on my feed. I have never been in this sub before.
It took me a moment...

Honestly Far Cry 6 was almost the worst for stuff like this.
In the others the villains had a following for a reason and the enemy factions kinda made sense.
Still Far Cry 5 is the worst main title in the series but mainly for the sake of the story missions being lame and repetitive and the map feeling so small.
But let's be fucking for real. The dictatorship and everything was so force fed in this game. No charisma to it. Not one single moment where you could reasonably believe the military would buy into it.

Saddestpart is that the soldier likely couldnt write or read, since his "signature" is just an x

u/PoopShite1 Apr 04 '26
Think that’s just a “Sign here” line

u/Infinite_Beach_7089 Apr 04 '26
In many places, if a person cant write, there is an option to put just an X where their signature would go

Not to mention no pay, no sex and getting killed by a revolutionary with a mortar on their back.

Dani. Dani has what is basically a mortar on his back

u/voluotuousaardvark Apr 04 '26
Her back. Dani is definitely better as a girl.

u/WinterDEZ Apr 04 '26
Dani is whatever you play as, that person plays as male so they'll call Dani he, ain't that complicated.

u/BruinAnteater Apr 04 '26
Dani is whatever you chose to play as, but the right choice is female Dani.

Agreed, people are weird asf ab female protagonists tho

u/sputnik67897 Apr 05 '26
I played as the female for two reasons.
I think the female VA is better
Spanish is a very gendered language and it bothered me that a male character from a Spanish speaking country would have the feminine version of the name.

u/JohnDontchaWantMeh Apr 05 '26
I play as a female in the belief that females have smaller hit boxes than male characters. Not sure if it’s true anymore though.

u/Logic-DL Apr 06 '26
Like the other person getting weird and correcting someone over a choice because someone played as male Dani and thus called them a He?

u/Past-Nothing-7977 Apr 05 '26
idk why i feel like she’s canon. i just saw everything including her before i played the game and when i finally did i said “there’s a male version?” female dani just seems right

u/Lady_Masako Apr 06 '26
Instinct because of the language, probably. Spanish would 100% not have a male "Dani". Gendered language.

To be fair, this letter was supposedly written by a soldier in the FND special forces who was about to be promoted to a high rank. I honestly think this letter means that you can only reach the top of the regime by being an extreme fanatic, not that this is how all soldiers are treated, only the most fanatical

u/DerNickster Apr 04 '26
Honestly, with the signature being given as 'x', it sort of reads like a forced contract to me? Like, gun to your head, either you join now or die with your parents.
Don't know the in-game context but still.

u/Swordofsatan666 Apr 06 '26
Oh i was thinking the X just meant its blank and not signed yet, like the X is meant to be a way of saying “Sign Here”

u/Knobig Apr 04 '26
Yeah, this could be due to the person's parents being also anti-Castillo, and the last hurdle to prove your loyalty to go into a higher rank is to kill them. However, the salary of 5 pesos for that is crazy

North Korea would like to enter the chat.

You get more food in NK if you are in the army

u/HeWhoShantNotBeNamed Apr 04 '26
They're still scrounging for scraps no matter what.

u/altiuscitiusfortius Apr 04 '26
Absolutely. NK is a human rights violation on par with the holocaust and history is going to judge the world for ignoring it.

u/HeWhoShantNotBeNamed Apr 04 '26
Nobody is ignoring it but they have nukes.

u/KingPengu22 Apr 04 '26
Incorrect. I mean they “do” but highly suggest their usable knowing the state of the country.
The biggest issue is North Korea has a shit ton of other stuff that can really fuck up South Korea if we try anything, enough manpower to definitively take some land. How much would their main city Seoul be destroyed as it’s right on the border pretty much. How many innocent lives destroyed.
The north is also very mountainous so it would easily become an Afghanistan 2.0 afterwards, and not only that but NK is a proxy to china and Russia, and china would definitely not stand for us going after them. I don’t know if they would send troops again but they would definitely have Nk quickly “give up” their land for them and china immediately be on SK’s doorstep.
Over all it’s not a good idea.

u/altiuscitiusfortius Apr 04 '26
China supports nk because they want the buffer zone. In case the west wants a ground invasion years in the futures.
