Has the level of RPG's nowadays lowered so much if it's playable it's okay?
And what exactly is wrong with that? It's not like a little reading is going to kill you.
This is true, there are some parts of the game that are annoying (Sewers). But it's better than a game being straight forward.
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?
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.
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.
No offense but I stopped paying attention when you called it one of the greatest JRPG stories of all time. I don't know whether you're really calling it great or awful (most JRPGs are the latter) but it wasn't "great" by any means. It's your typical rag-tag group of heroes doing what all rag-tag heroes do: saving the world. Only this time...... it's from an alien posing as God (my memory is foggy I just remember fighting the alien Deus.) It's got a very wanna-be political plot but Suikoden does those infinitely better which is maybe why I'm being so hard on the fall-apart politics in this. The story borrows heavily from the bible but brutalizes it all into a silly anime plotline. God isn't a man... he's a gear....!!
I don't remember much about the game 'cause I've only played through the full thing twice and the second time I was so appalled by the ending (WHAT THE pineapple BARTS VOICE) that I wiped it entirely from my memory. But I can tell you that having characters that make jokes doesn't make the plot any less ridiculous. Taking yourself lightly =/= taking a situation lightly, basically.
Some of the characters were pretty well written, I didn't give it credit for that but again, the story sucks. The story sucks. Also I don't play video games to read for an hour at a time (or watch cinematics that long, either) I play them to play. So yeah, having walls of text or hours of video is very annoying.
Anyway in about 2 hours I'm picking up KH 358/2 if it ends up being crap I'm comin' back here to bust some heads.
