How come in Skies of Arcadia, almost every NPC in the starting home island has their own personal name besides the main character mother.

That will never be not strange to me. Lol

Estelle's father isn't dead, but is lured out of country by the bad guys so they can complete their plan. Though if you also count Joshua as a main character, then both his parents and sister are dead.

In JRPGs, if the father isn't just absent, then they will die at some point during the game.

Does Final Fantasy X count? Like he was absent before the game starts, but he's very much not absent during the story. <_<

Absent as in not mentioned, or completely gone? Because in Persona 4 and 5 both parents are mentioned and confirmed alive, but you don't see them. FFX and Disgaea 3 count though

Youre thinking of trails in the sky when I mentioned cold steel.

Completely gone. Like, say, Chrono Trigger.

Ah, so then P4 and P5 count. Your dad is alive and well in Tales of Crestoria too, even if he's...

Running an orphanage to sell the girls to be sex slaves, the boys to be slave slaves, and any who are ugly/can't do manual labor to be harvested for organs. That game was kinda fucked up

Honorary mention to Star Ocean The Last Hope. It had a satisfying, unnecessary shout out to the MC's dad. He wasn't actually in the story, but gets mentioned as a part of the MC's transformative childhood experience that led him to the story's start.

This thread makes me wonder if there's a JRPG where the father joins your party and nothing bad ebough happens to him to force a permanent removal from the party.

Sometimes it would be fun to go on an adventure with your pops.

His presence is constantly felt throughout the story and is a major point in the MCs development, so even if he actually was just dead, I dont think Id say he was absent. Certainly not the extent of something like Pokmon, where barring RSE the protagonist was birthed into the world through immaculate conception or something

Most of the counterexamples that come to mind are ones where the characters are old enough that their parents just don't show up, as opposed to being raised by just a mom.

In SaGa 2 your dad joins but he gets removed from your party just before the final dungeon.

Came in to say Dragon Quest V, but someone else did already. It definitely has the best father son relationship stuff in a JRPG.
