Why were the late 90s RPGs filled with existentialist and fatalist stories like Chrono Cross and Xenogears...

They were visionary works.

Literally every Cross criticism coming from butthurt Trigglies stems from their inability to understand the game. FACT.

I like how nintendies act like BotW is special for making Yea Forums seethe when Triggerbabbies are STILL crying over Cross 2 decades later
