He was half right about God. There is Heaven and Hell on this earth and of ourselves. It's just that most people choose to cling to blind faith because the truth what is "Heaven" and "Hell" is the greatest mystery to all that terrifies some people especially the sheep of today's world.

[@anastasbananas]

Oh man, that confession of his about his child. Don't know about you, but his acting, his intensity in that single moment gives me chills and creeps me out more than any of Vaas' outbursts put together ever did. In my opinion, Joseph is far ahead of Vaas in terms of charisma, emotional display, acting and terror that he inflicts. Oh well, ahead not only of Vaas, but of a lot of antagonists in games. He is more eerie and enigmatic, which in my book is more effective that just behaving all crazy, like Vaas did.

[@kake1604]

If you truly believe that then I don't think you understood Vaas' story or anything he said. His outbursts weren't crazy nonsense. He is a reflection of what Jason Brody was becoming as the game progressed, and he knew that. Vaas is a much better villain than Joseph Seed.

[@robertsmalls2293]

I don’t know about that... I’d probably say Vaas is slightly better. I actually think Jacob Seed has the most interesting outlook of all the Seeds. When I heard his messages play over the speakers as I liberated outposts it made me seriously question if I was on the right side.

[@timb7328]

Edens Gate had the key things to succeed but blew it by killing and trying to force people to join....hanging dead bodies all around the county is not showing a loving family community lol. They had the keys to success by building on People who wanted someone strong to lead them, Jacob People who wanted to just forget about the world, Faith People who wanted something spiritual, John Add a charismatic leader who talked of love and knew how to convince even skeptics in Joseph and they had the ability to build something. Joseph knew how to convince people with his words...the way he worded things...there is something bad coming..I know YOU can feel it...to just ask if they feel it leaves people wondering but he made them think they knew too and and believed in the same things he did. Many business people do that, Johns yes is a part of that type of business negotiation skills. Empowering people with you know what you are doing is great/correct and telling the people you are negotiating/converting with that you know they are too is a negotiation strategy. Build up yourself and who you are talking with and make them think by saying yes to the deal it makes them look strong, intelligent and empowered.

[@steele_heart77]

If Faith were the leader of Eden's Gate, I'm going to confess that she would convince me. Y'know, if they weren't so murderous. Same with The Father, I guess. But Faith's cutscenes just hit me even harder and I just... I could really connect with her. Even if she's a fictional character, I could see some of myself in her. Far Cry 5 hit me like no other game has, not since Life Is Strange.

@@yucol5661 He was special...in his own mind....and he tried to make others think they were too. They used a number of old tactics.. Converting people by building up hope and inflating their egos... yes an old tactic but it works. Another issue is the world is a tough place so some people often look for someone to make their decisions for them so they dont have life's pressures. Then they used another old tactic.... make you and your cause theirs also so you both have the same issues....misery loves company...along with making someone as a common enemy...the Feds. Problem was people will only keep giving their freedom for so long and if you push them too far many will fight back.

This psychopathic priest was inspired by real-life psychopathic priest named Jim Jones. Someone like him does exist.

[@roseCatcher_]

He wasn't inspired by Jim Jones. Jim Jones' commune was communist and furthest from this. Jones considered himself an atheist and inspired by marxist ideals. He called the Bible a 'paper idol worthy of destruction' in a New York Times interview. Joseph Seed was inspired by David Koresh of Branch Davidians in Waco and his understanding of the Seven Seals. They even went as far as to replicate his personality through Seed. Davidians were mass*cred by ATF in Waco Siege.

[@shmoppl3320]

44:24 the main character is the man behind the slaughter

[@lowfiend]

It's really interesting that Joseph says that the Rook's sin is pride. Yet, in keeping with other Farcry games, the protagonist is just a mirror image of the antagonist. In Joseph's prophecy, God destroys the world with fire. But he never said that Joseph would be a savior; Joseph took it upon himself to become that. In his pride, he thought he could shield his family from Armageddon; in his view, the Rook could have even been sent by God to humble him. To take from him what he thought he could protect. The lord giveth. And the lord taketh.

[@bbldimitrescu3169]

I'm fully convinced far cry definitely has the most interesting and charismatic antagonists in all of gaming history, vaas, pagan min and Joseph seed all individually radiate insanity in their own way, vaas shows insanity unhinged in possibly the most intense way, pagan min not only displays his insanity, but voices it upon his people as their king in a grand way which paints him as either one of two things, a charismatic tyrant or a misunderstood ruler however the line between the two is often vague and Joseph possesses such insane ideals that get to the point of being so insane, that they begin to make sense. I'm relatively new to the far cry series and only recently got introduced to it so forgive me if what I'm saying is inaccurate this just what I think, and I think personally that far cry has the most interesting antagonists in gaming

[@SHROUD_15_]

They really don't fail with these villains and we can't hate them
