The Xenosaga Topic of 2013

[tony12]

Lol, you can accept Xenosaga if you want. You can always turn a blind eye to what it was originally meant to be and what it ended up being if you want to (again it is probably much easier for you to do this since you did not play Xenogears until recently and really don't have any clue what the full story of the Xeno franchise is supposed to be).

However I do know what Xenosaga was supposed to be and everything it failed to accomplish. You can act as naive as you want to when it comes to Xenosaga but it still doesn't change the fact that Xenosaga in no way shape or form accomplished what it was created to do in the first place. If I didn't know all the history of the Xeno franchise I would of probably liked the Xenosaga series a lot more as well.

You think it's naive to accept something for what it actually is, rather than complaining about what it could have been? Really?

It does annoy me a lot that the series didn't turn out as originally intended. But the end product is what matters, not what could have been if reality looked differently. If a game turns out good, but not as what you expected or wanted, you can pretend that the game is bad and miss out on an enjoyable gaming experience if you'd rather do that. But accepting the game for being good on its own the way it is, even though it didn't turn out like intended, is hardly naive or "turning a blind eye" on something.

You know I think NeoCracker may have had a better argument if he/she wasn't trying to defens Xenosaga and instead was trying to defend a game that truly was a complete game. NeoCracker was constantly bashing the text dumps without having any clue whatsoever what the purpose of the text dumps were for and also not having any clue whatsoever how incomplete of a series Xenosaga ended up being.

I'll say it again. The only reason Xenosaga exists at all was so it could tell the story of perfect works. It doesn't exist so it could tell some hacked up version that took three games to only tell the story of one episode.
