I said I rather not see it turn into pomegranate by beating a dead horse. I enjoyed Kingdom Hearts 1, 2 and CoM. But they should end it at some point and not just drag it out to the point where every fan comes to hate it.
BombsAway Wrote:Everyone knows how I feel about most FF games, but even I am able to concede that they aren't unplayable.
Has the level of RPG's nowadays lowered so much if it's playable it's okay?
BombsAway Wrote:Xenogears had the exact same problems except instead of cinematics it was walls of text.
And what exactly is wrong with that? It's not like a little reading is going to kill you.
BombsAway Wrote:Although the battle system was very smooth. Kind of boring during gear parts. All of the dungeons were maze-like and difficult to navigate, especially toward the end of the game.
This is true, there are some parts of the game that are annoying (Sewers). But it's better than a game being straight forward.
BombsAway Wrote:The story was just as insufferable as the Saga's and became even worse during the second disc where they decide gameplay was completely irrelevant and decided to swap it out with narroration.
Second disc does have it's problems. But, wat? Again you can't handle a little reading for one of the best stories in a JRPG ever?
BombsAway Wrote:Xenogears was hilarious because it took itself so seriously, though.
You serious? For just as many serious moments Xenogears had joking moments. "Don't call me son cause you sure ain't my pops." It hardly took itself seriously.
BombsAway Wrote:It's something I recommend for people to play because it's totally playable, but it's not easy to get into because it's so ridiculous.
Again, you can't handle some reading? Of course maybe it would be more suited to your tastes if each time Grahf came onto the screen him talking about darkness for 52 minutes, hmm?
And don't get confused here, I am hardly insulting Kingdom Hearts. As I said I enjoyed the games. But it's story is pretty simple. And calling Xenogears story convoluted pretentious just because it takes a level of intelligence to understand is quite simply hilarious.
Now Xenosaga is a story for another day.
