Square Enix was a mistake. Imagine a world where Squaresoft exists today passionately making AA games with charm and fun gameplay.

i only got around to playing it not too long ago and i absolutely loved the story, but i'd be pissed if i bought it when it was new and the second disc wasn't even a game.

She's in the house where you can read/listen to tutorials, I know.

I played it when it was new, and I thought disc 2 was really cool. I vaguely knew that there were problems with the development, and I thought turning it into minimalist theater was a great way to fill in what they didn't have time for.

>why did real life earth manufacture a super weapon that seeds an entirely new human race over the course of thousands of years on a different, earth-like planet?
Because in canon non-Xenosaga asspull timeline of Xenogears the Immigrant Fleet, the Zohar emulators, and the Gnosis were still a huge fucking problem. They designed a superintelligent AI to help them deal with it. Naturally, being an Eva ripoff, this backfires.

Xenogears is overrated trash and we dodged a bullet considering it almost became FFVII originally

It was a thing to keep people from saying anniemay

Shit was pretty fucked according to Perfect Works. Earth left a skeleton crew to defend against the onslaught and put Deus on their biggest ship (the colony ship) in lockdown as secret cargo, hoping it wouldn't get discovered.

So of course Deus breaks containment and is pissed its creators abandoned it. Tries to warp the ship back and Skynet the fuck out of Earth.
Xenogears happened because they forefitted the ship trying to destroy Deus. The entirety of the planet's history is Deus in repair mode, emulating the technologies of the Immigrant fleet and the Gnosis to get back on track.

Damn I love Xenogears. Reading this brings back some good memories. I remember rumors about the weight gain/loss thing affecting stats, but pretty sure it actually does nothing. I loved jumping on people's heads, makes up for some awkward platforming segments. Wish more RPGs included jumping like that. Mario RPG is the first that comes to mind.

Different user, and it's been forever since I read (the fan translated) Perfect Works, but--I think Earth was lost a long time ago, but there was another planet that had been colonized and was the human capital. The main reason I don't quite trust my memories here is, I don't know what I'm mixing with Xenosaga.

Not him but I think you're right, I think Earth is referred to as Lost Jerusalem in both Xenogears Perfect Works and Xenosaga

Earth is Lost Jerusalem. We don't know much about it from PW or XS. Most people think it's fucked, but at least in XS3, we get a hint it's still there from the very ending.

>but there was another planet that had been colonized and was the human capital
Neo Jerusalem. Plays no major part in either series.

Isn't Earth merged with that giant spaceship at its center? I remember some XS cutscene showing it

I'll never accept that the humans who created Deus didn't try to find it at some point during those 10,000 years.

Maybe there was no one left doing the finding

I also can't fathom why Deus would voluntarily use a species capable of independent thought to resurrect itself rather than create some new hive mind species that was incapable of resisting and/or rebelling against it. That's what the Overmind in Childhood's End did.

Unfortunately no. Xenoblade's acclaim has tied him down into pandering to the lowest denominator.
You can see glimpses of old Takahashi in bits of X and 2 but Xeno's an empty shell of what it used to be.

Takahashi DID say recently that he wants to develop a Rated M game with sex and violence though.

>That Simpsons yellow

Earth became inaccessible for an unknown reason in the XG universe, my theory is that originally Xenoblade 1 was going to explain the reason behind that before they removed the mention of the Zohar, this is mentioned in an Iwata asks (source: iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/xenoblade/2/2):

>One case in point is the game's ending. Initially, we'd come up with what we felt was an ending with a rather explanatory feel. But in fact, she told us that even with this explanation, she couldn't really understand it. When she pointed this out to me, I could see what she meant. There were things that seemed perfectly clear to us, but which were actually tricky to understand for players who didn't have previous knowledge. If you're referencing things that people know nothing about, it's really a meaningless exercise, isn't it?
>tricky to understand for players who didn't have previous knowledge. If you're referencing things that people know nothing about, it's really a meaningless exercise, isn't it?

What previous knowledge? Xenoblade 1 was supposed to be self contained and supposed to be called "Monado: beginning of the world". My idea is that with Monado they were planning on explaining why Earth had been lost in the XG universe or even why the planet were they were doing Zohar experiments was mysteriously destroyed leaving nothing other than the Zohar floating in space. I'm sure Takahashi was planning on reviving Perfect Works with Nintendo but Yurie Hattori ended up preventing that, if this hadn't happened I'm sure the Xenogears bandwagonners wouldn't have complained about Xenoblade when it came out because "it wasn't Xeno"

He basically did, but the Wave Existence/Zohar intervened. There's a reason that he's ultimately defeated by Fei, and a guy who'd been heavily influenced by Sophia.

No, the core was composed of Zohar and Deus. They were on a mission to rescue survivors from the planet Deus fucked up in a weapons test. They had settlers on board to disguise the covert op of removing Deus from the system as a colony and rescue mission.
Abel fucked everything up when he ran off and triggers Deus to break out.

It's funny when you realize Xenogears didn't have a happy ending at all. Yeah Fei and Elly were reunited but the entire world has been destroyed and all but a couple hundred humans are dead.

I miss when gaming wasn't ashamed of itself.

Yeah, I was only responding to why Deus didn't make humanity subservient. It did, but the Wave Existence created a couple that weren't under its thumb, and who ultimately led to its downfall.

i know this soul shit get memed on but maybe a well spoken user can help me out to formulate the thougths of an retard like me:
Most older anime and games i played/watched (emphasis on most i played, not that all are like that or that i played/watched) are more appealing to me becausue of 2 reasons:
1. Im sure there is correct technical term for this but the shading/lighting and the outline of the characters make them more somberand more blend in and also more human like. In Most modern anime and anime games the art style is either very moe or the characters are bright/glossy.
2. While this is obviously a zeitgeist thing but fan service (being it actualyy boobies or fan pandering in literal scence with refrences at stuff) got more shoved in in the front. Like i grew up while watching ranma, with full frontal naked anime tiddies. I have no problem with that. However it was like a set piece and the stuff never over endulged in it. Nowadays when in somethiing like XC2 or Fire emblem Fates its like the whole plot and story stops to draw attentiion to this character having revealing clothes big tiddies and is lewd.
This is my personal take on soul and old good new bad. Im open for recommendations.

I will never understand the retards who can misinterpret shit so badly. Even more than that I can't understand how they feel the need to go online and brag about it. They show him in anime mode almost immediately.

Neptuniablade is zoomer kino while FF7 is millennial cuck garbage

The Xenoblade series has been a huge success no matter how you try to spin it. Also, he IS making an episodic storyline. Xenoblade 2 ties into Xenoblade 1, and Xenoblade X is its own thing but definitely not finished story-wise.

It's definitely a game that requires a replay or reading extra material to understand.
Also, the whole reincarnation thing combined with Miang should be a pretty big clue that this isn't episode 1 of the story.

SaGa is very flawed, but it's one of my favorite RPGs to this day. I think it's worthy of a 9 at least, but back in the I remember it getting some mixed reviews (lots of 7s).

Einhander was cool, never finished it though.

Very flawed might be overstating it. It feels very unfinished in parts, but the core game is great I'd say.

The battle system was pretty trash. And the story took way too long to get going. Even by late-90s JRPG standards.

>stunning anime
NONONONO BROS IT CANT BE, XENO WAS NEVER ANIME SHULK WAS THE REAL XENOBLADE!!

I've tried multiple Saga games before and all of them have had the same flaws to me. They drop you into this huge world, that's not really connected since you travel from different ares to the next through a menu, with absolutely no objective in mind. And that'd be fine if there was plenty of content to find, but most of the time I wander around town looking for an event or quest or SOMETHING to happen and there's just nothing.

I can. They had ridiculously good software sales in North America and were making tons of money regardless of the PS1's success. Also, the best N64 games beat the fuck out of any PS1 Squaresoft games.

Like hell they were. Super Mario 64 and OoT had way better gameplay than either of those and were way more influential when it came to 3D mechanics and game design for future generations. FF7 was just an expensive vanity project that flaunted pre-rendered CGI more so than it made any real leaps for the JRPG genre. FF9 was okay but was ultimately just more of the same.

Not a fighter, also not good. Please we can only get by playing Mario Party so many times, we're dying here. We need something that isn't a shitty racer like mario kart either, maybe something with actual speed like CTR.

>FF7 was just an expensive vanity project that flaunted pre-rendered CGI more so than it made any real leaps for the JRPG genre

FFVII started the trend of the "story" being more important than the gameplay in JRPGs
I don't think it was for the best but it was influencial.

Mario 64 wasn't that great, honestly the only good collectathon game that exists is Ape Escape, everything else is just really boring.
Ocarina of Time was good, but not great. Its like a 7/10 at best.
Also FFVII put JRPGs on the map in the west, the genre exploded in popularity after that game, which is why the PS1 became a JRPG machine (which is a good thing)

>jrpgs had soulful ads
>they still flopped hard in the us until FFVII

Mario 64 was mind-blowing when it came out. Still fun too. Same with Ocarina. I got both consoles as a kid though (Got N64 first, then bought a PSX for FFVII), so I love them both.

Hackahashi is the biggest hack in the industry. Kinogears and Xenosaga are only good because of his wife. Everything he made after is complete moeshit.

I loved OoT when I was a kid, but I was also gullible and just went along with the meme of it being the best game of all time because people said so.
After playing through it again when the 3DS remake came out, and again when a friend challenged me to a casual race to see who could beat it faster. I realized that it wasn't anything really great, its just a solid, good game.
I didn't play through FFVII and IX until some years later, and they left much bigger impressions on me, but also RPG is my favorite genre.

team buddies, pop'n'tanks (the best vehicle combat game ever), rakugaki showtime, blast chamber, any twisted metal

At least he now makes GAMES instead of failed animes/visual novels

Yeah. People don't like to talk about how tedious OoT is at times, how unengaging combat is, how easy the game is. People like the memory of OoT more than the actual game.

What the hell went wrong with RPGs between PS1 era and PS3's?

kek

>I seriously don't get the disk 2 hate it's not like people play turn based rpg for the gameplay when the story is peak kino and the main appeal
How can the story be the main appeal for JRPGs when most JRPG stories aren't very good?

OoT's are all the result of age and newer games taking concepts it established and tweaking them either by design or by virtue of improved hardware and/or controls.

My theory is voice acting and higher production costs is part of it. With voice acting in every scene, some awkward dialogue that you'd gloss over before is now given more emphasis and makes things take longer.

I was thinking the same. Ignore the faggots baiting for (You)s

>How can the story be the main appeal for JRPGs when most JRPG stories aren't very good?
JRPGS used to be the only games with full blown stories and they still think they're worth playing for this even thought they've been btfo since the PS2 era

The stories in these games are good though.

>JRPGS used to be the only games with full blown stories and they still think they're worth playing for this even thought they've been btfo since the PS2 era
Imagine actually believing this. There are adventure games that literally older than the first Dragon Quest.

Western ones just aren't very interesting. The Last Armageddon has a more captivating story than any Western game.

On consoles though you'd usually go to RPGs if you wanted a game with a heavier story emphasis.

Moving goal posts is ill-becoming of you, folks.

It doesn't change the fact that they suck, however.

I should have precised "on console"
PCfags are in another world.

Moving goal posts is the stupidest complaint. Somebody clarifying or adjusting their statement to make it more precise isn't always a bad thing.

PC gamers are indeed delusional, yes.

When you make a ridiculous claim like "JRPGS used to be the only games with full blown stories" and then start backpedaling, you've moved the goal posts to try and make yourself and your statement seem less stupid.

Then you either haven't played any games with good stories or your idea of a good story sucks.

I'm not even the same guy that posted that. You made a good point about adventure games, so I was stating that his take on RPGs was true in a narrower sense.

>Then you either haven't played any games with good stories
I have, such as The Last Armageddon. Are you going to list interactive novels with me as if they are well written?

>When you make a ridiculous claim like "JRPGS used to be the only games with full blown stories
That was me. And I was talking about console games. You guys live in another world I told you. You had interractive games like Monkey island for a long time but something like FFVI or FFVII was a revolution

- Higher productions cost
- Refusal to make a full-sized world map (due to cost) but also refusal to make a scaled world map like PS1 games did
- Belief that turn-based games don't sell anymore, therefore every game must have some gimmick battle system, or be an action-RPG hybrid that's neither as good as a normal RPG or a normal action game would be
- Too many RPGs being iteratives of older RPGs or anime

But you're TECHNICALLY wrong so that means I am superior to you. That's right, they don't call us the MASTER RACE for nothing.

>You had interractive games like Monkey island for a long time but something like FFVI or FFVII was a revolution
Adventure games were around on consoles, too. As were games from other genres with stories and characters. Famicom Detective Club came out in 1988, for example. Clock Tower came out in 1995. Et cetera, et cetera. See, I too can peddle obscure examples that are hard to argue against like the douchebag in this post.

JRPGs based their scenarios on fetch quests and McGuffin hunts a lot as well. 90s Squaresoft games are no exception. But regardless, adventure still had full stories long before JRPGs made them a staple of their appeal (or at least the popular ones did).

Usually they weren't combining objects you find around the place in a silly manner. You'd usually be finding relics or crystals or artifacts, etc. DEEP and MEANINGFUL

I'm pissed Big Joe didn't join you in the end.

wasn't there a hidden lore that Big Joe is actually a real human from the Eldridge and not humans born from Deus?

Not quite. He was a star in the Zeboim era. He had Kim cryogenically freeze him and he stayed froze for 4000 years until the Ethos dug him up. They threw him into the ocean and he washed up onto Billy's orphanage where they freed him and he then swam to Ignas.

As modern developments have shown, kojima was never the brains of metal gear. On his own, he's a hack.

He was a celebrity and sports hero from the Zeboim era (which was like modern Earth, but they were having problems reproducing and with short lifespans) that froze himself trying to preserve his life.

Nonsense, there's no reason to believe Kojima wasn't a significant factor in making the old Metal Gear games great, both story and gameplay-wise. Obviously the teams were great too and made a big difference, but this trend of saying Kojima was always a hack because of recent games is silly.

The irony that Fei says that humans doesnt need God when Elly was literally created by the Wave existence and even gave him Xenogears and endless power is arrogant as fuck.
He was immortal as well so how the fuck does he go about speaking on humanities behalf.
