Holy shit this was ahead of its time.
>>
Yes it was.

/thread
>>
By being a long, boring, visual novel rather than a game?

I agree
>>
Is just an Evangelion rip-off
>>
>>12425054
By being a pretentious non-game that pseuds fellate nonstop? Yeah, it was.
>>
Squaresoft PS1 was on a league of it's own ,we will never see something similar again
>>
>>12425054
Not really, it was just a unique one-off. A rare example of an overly-ambitious rookie dev allowed way too much money and freedom on a big project, that still managed to deliver a viable end product when Big Bosses forced a reality check.
This kind of thing would never happen today. Takahashi himself learned his lesson and none of Monolith's Xeno games have been as soulful as the original.
>>
>>12425054
I mean, yeah. They sold an unfinished game that barely tells a story and has very little gameplay. So yeah they predicted our current landscape well.

>>12425087
how's that crippling autism working out for you?

>>12425117
It tells the whole story.
>>
>>12425054
No it was pretty exactly at its time.
>>
this game came out after ff7, a game with a far more creative and fun battle system, actually playable the entire way through, and perfect pacing that never feels like a total fucking slog going through dungeons designed to put you to sleep

it was a step back, not ahead of its time

Yea, but the damage deep. Pray no remake or if, so shit it wakens all to its odor

It was ambitious and it had potential but, regrettably, the execution was flawed.

yeah I'm thinking I'm too old for anime visual novel "games" anymore

kids can sit through simplistic storytelling like this, but not adults

Were there stories about a guy turning humanity into globohomo mass to achieve personal wishes and the main character having to deal with it? There were similar stories after Eva, like Lain and Death Stranding, but I've never seen anything prior.

Correct.
No cancelled game 2, 3 or 4 bullshit. For something that they intended to magically be able to make 2 or 4 games for.

I just played Chrono Trigger and it was awesome. I think you're a faggot.

Leftist tripe

>>12433037
Trigger at least had a story. Gears was just supposed to be its sequel any failed even that.

Smelly

Xenosaga > Xenogears

And xenosaga was just a glorified OAV with a bunch of shallow Bible references (just like evangelion!)
