Thread: Is there any non xeno game that rivals the amount of emphasis put on story

    Default Is there any non xeno game that rivals the amount of emphasis put on story

    as it is for those two games.

    Is their any other game out there that has as much or almost as much emphasis on the storyline as xenosaga or xenogears has.

    yes definitly, and the legacy of kain seris are fantastic 2. soul reaver 2 for example is the most beautifully written game ever made.

    p.s- metal gear solid 2's story is SO much better then the original.

    RPG Maker has the potential to be better, if you wish to spend years writing the story.

    Take care all.

    I'd say Xenogears is pretty much the peak of story above all else, but... hm. You might like the Suikoden series, especially II - IF you can find it.

    Yup, Xenogears is tip-top in story terms, heck, the second disc was pretty much JUST story (which in a way was a small let down), and it left every loose end tied up.

    Except..(SPOILER)Shevat crash landed? I never remember seeing that happen in the game, must have missed it I guess, but then I made sure to watch every single part of everything.

    (SPOILER)I think it crashed when Id busted out of prison. That's one of the things the game kind of ignores - the other is a general lack of information about what happened between Sophia's death and the defeat of the Diabalos

    Oh well, let's just ignore the plot holes and just go back to the fact that CITAN GETS AN AWESOME SWORD.

    Oh yeah baby. Citan sure is the best, Fei would be better if his 7AP technique wasn't Dark Elemental.

    Fei doesn't even come close to matching Citan on foot. It's a shame Fenrir isn't good enough to keep up with its pilot.

    Weltall-2 vs. Xenogears?

    I got very attached to System Id, but then, the free hyper mode in Xenogears is nice, but taking three turns to build up makes things awkward. Then again, with a natural hyper mode, you can use that status effect extension accessory and boost it's effects to 6 turns, right? And you can't do that with System Id.

    Oh, and Weltall-2 vs. Xenogears in the battle arena game. We all have to admit that Xenogears is VERY cheap in that, what with the hand lasers and all.

    edit: spoiler

    Cuz Fei is the contact and he has become one with his gear. Thats why he can pilot the thing and use his mental chi power or whatever to shhooot those things. Welltall-2 look cool to in system id, but xenogears all the way, ulimate gear that has the ''power of a thousand gears, with a shake of 1 fist'' UBER PWNAGE! pwn! What~

    (SPOILER)"System Id" would be a spoiler, y'know. Speaking of that, I wish there was more of (SPOILER)Xenogears-ID(probably not its real name). That thing kicked ass.

    Pssh, forget (SPOILER)Id's Gear I want (SPOILER)Grahf's Weltall. I forget the real name but...Bat wings! Awesomeness! Was it Alpha-Weltall?

    Oh, and I think Tales Of Phantasia has a pretty decent story too, not quite as good as Xenogears, but it does develop on the characters and ties up all the loose ends and that.

    Cool, I'm a spoiler! This definitely means that I should get the power of invisibility.
