| Ljink96 said: Xenogears will always be my favorite work of theirs. It touches subjects and story archs that games today wouldn't dare touch. And it was executed in such a perfect manner. Match it with Yasunori Mitsuda's amazing score and you've got a masterpiece on your hands. Can't wait to see what they've done with Chronicles 2. |
Same here, still my favourite game of all time.
Speaking of Mitsuda, I forgot to mention much about him in the process, as he's been a major figure with Monolithsoft. First working with Takahashi on Chrono Trigger. On Xenogears, Mitsuda actually didn't have the time to complete all the planned music; he had a lot of conflict with Square - and stuck around until Chrono Cross, mostly because he was seen as the star developer on Chrono Trigger. Apparently he became so stressed working on Chrono Cross that he was hospitalized after degrading health and a panic attack. While he hasn't been very open about his struggle with Square, I think his action of never working with them again speaks strongly.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
