I would say games that were potentially really fun but had really annoying aspects to them. Like Legends of Dragoons lack of traversable world map. Xenogears' 3rd disc is a good reason for a remake. Games like FFVII where the graphics are that shitty form of 3d are good candidates too.

I just got into this game recently. Still at the beginning. But I have to say, it's pretty impressive what it does on a playstation. I love the way they construct the maps. And the sprites are top quality. Why don't more people make games this way? Why isn't this design the nee retro for indie game devs to exploit? Seems relatively easy to make with today's tools.

The act of inserting the name of any obscure cultural institution into a conversation in an effort to accelerate the building of rapport with someone, or to make one's self appear to be more important. Typically considered by intelligent people to be a negative habit.
Here is an example of name dropping in context.

With the intended response being:
"woah, you listen to Bright Eyes!?"

>>320788121
I was commenting on the way the game was constructed from a technical perspective. Not the way it was written. Saga's writing ability doesn't pertain to what I was talking about.

If another indie dev came along, and didn't know fuck all about good narrative, they could still replicate the architecture of the game's design.

Deus is an interplanetary weapon system. Grahf wanted to use Deus to destroy the world. And the Jews in Xenogears are really the Gazel Ministry. They believe that they are Deus' chosen people and it is their right to reunite with Deus to rule the world and other planets. The Lambs and Solarians (goyim) are nothing more than cattle for Deus' rebirth. Humanity had been nearly wiped out a few times before the present-day events in Xenogears because humanity hadn't reached a peak evolution yet to be flesh for Deus.
>>
>>320791180
Is the game seriously meant to be an allegory for the jews and goyim?

Dues, who was literally named Yahweh in the original, controls the entire planet through a false religion, which in the original is "The Church". "The Church" hoards secret information and rapes children. Solaris, who's populace is completely oblivious to what's going on in the outside world(think US) because they have a completely decadent society with endless distractions, is controlled by Miang, the servant of Yahweh, and causes proxy wars all over warring desert nations by providing weapons to enemies of any nation that is currently on the losing side, which then leads to even more wars.

Miang even manipulated Lacan into becoming Grahf and lead him to the Zohar where Lacan learned the truth about his reincarnations and that Elly always has and always will die for him. The truth broke him and he sought out a Gear of legendary power that would wipe out about 94% of humanity IIRC.

I think Maria was one of those characters that was just thrown in there to your party. Think she has the very least amount of lines in the story, probably from going over budget, in that they couldn't flesh her out.

>>320795136
I think the main plan was to do a couple of the 6 episodes in Anime OVA/Series form, so probably already had the studio paid for that.
>>
>>320794732
Wasn't the budget transferred to the masterpiece FFVIII though?
>>
>>320794857
>>320795013
To expand on this, what everyone was eating were literally "Wels", which were the building blocks of Deus. So, you were technically being put directly under Deus's control, slowly, because of this.

>>320795567
There is no 100% evidence for this. It's just the most likely alternative answer.

>>320795136
Honestly I get the feeling that Xenogears would have still never been finished even if they gave him a budget twice the size as what he got. He just kept adding shit.

Trying to use this as an insult pretty much makes me disregard any opinion you have. Especially since I'm older than a "90's kid" so your insult just seems random to begin with.

I have never actually played Xenogears before, but I often hear that Disc 3 was a major let down. I have actually played other Xeno games a little bit and never found them to be good enough to draw me in. I would have definitely been willing to listen to your opinion, if you actually had an opinion to share rather than just some random insult. Too bad...
>>
>>320786042

It makes sense though. Deus gets the Yaweh connection across just as well, perhaps making it feel less pretentious.
