I'm replaying this and it's pretty nostalgic. They did such a good job with making you feel like you where playing a fake mmo and the characters are such likeable losers like atoli and Gaspard.Also damn the soundtracks good.
scummy episodic game design
>>3565186I did not like that either growing up. It really should have been one game. At least they where released at 39.99 instead of full price but it was still alot of milking.
Can't stand the animu style of G.U. Love the atmosphere in the originals.
>>3565186I wonder how much of it was simply budgetary limitations more than just scummy sales tactics. It was far from the only game at the time that ended up being split into multiple releases. For some reason it seems to have been a predominantly PS2-era practice.
>>3565231probably trying to imitate pokemon
>>3565231It was absolutely a conscious decision to create a multimedia franchise with anime and manga and merch and games. It's a shameless and soulless product.
Yeah like imagine if for something like Final Fantasy VIII they released each disc individually at full price. Brilliance!
>>3565244Which happens to also be a good game.
>>3565246For you.
>>3565231 before dlc they split games up for maximum profit
>>3565244Shameless - YesSoulless - Definitely No.
>>3565354You just have no discretion. It's fine, you're the target su-, audience.
