Xenogears is way better than most of what Japan is producing now though. My word. Japan loves their tropes and they only know one way to do them and that's straight as a razor's edge with zero self awareness most of the time. Meanwhile America is making games like Mass Effect. I wonder who is winning.
I'm feeling rather cantankerous at the moment. :lou:
Fan translation so its going to be in japanese voice only :)Quote:

Mass Effect is easily better than any rpg Japan has produced, especially in the last 10 years. Wasn't fooling around about that. If you didn't have your anti-western blinders on you might realize that as well.
never played the ps1 version so I don't know how much different it is from the snes version.Quote:

Xenogears story is on drugs. Though it did handle gnosticism in an interesting way. I was always kind of surprised that it got released state side because of that.Quote:

Xenosaga is waaaaaay before Xenogears in terms of plot iirc. It's all a big mess though because Japan.
Xenogears was so completely http://juliannewman.org/wp-content/u...e-top-1987.jpg
Also Gobby I see you don't really have any retort about JRPGs. It's because I'm right, and I know that. I mean I still play some of them even so. You may carry on now.
OH LOOK A VILLAIN WITH A TRAGIC PAST
IS THAT An ADORABLE HYPERACTIVE ANIME GIRL OVER THERE?

Trust me its 1000x better than the western "RPG' filth gyp is trying to bite you into playing. :sa-wink:
You play more JRPGs than WRPGs and if WRPGs are so superior why do you play JRPGs at all?Quote:

Exactly, JRPGs are better. :)
