| Naum said: You didn't like Xenosaga?.... Damn I love that series... well Xenosaga I and III, II had a awfull battle system. I replay those once in a while, finished first one 3 weeks ago. |
The only thing I really disliked about Xenosaga was the plot -- the characters were good, the fighting system was decent I guess... Plot is big for me, though -- more important than characters, etc. I like JRPGs, but I have a significant lean over to the WRPG style of storytelling, and western thinking when it comes to plotlines. I can't help it.. my inner RPG child was raised on Wizardry, Ultima, The Bard's Tale, D&D Gold Box, etc.
This is embarrassing to admit, as a huge RPG fan... but I didn't know what Final Fantasy even was until VII came out. Even then I waited for the PC version (FF7 was my first JRPG). I played exclusively PC RPGs until the late-90s -- I played them all, it seems, but I avoided console RPGs like the plague, until FF7 hit.
Now I've gone back and played huge numbers of 16-bit through PS2-era console RPGs, and I found that I was really missin out.
