>Xenogears had to cut over half of its content.
>Almost none of the first disc was cut.
>The annoying slog that is Nortune, garbage characters like Maria, and shit "dungeons"like the Shevat shafts remained.
>ACTUALLY INTERESTING dungeons and fights were cut from disc 2.
Who the fuck develops a game linearly? Why the fuck were so many resources and subplots wasted on Nortune? The game grinds to a fucking halt until just before you meet Billy, it's maddening.
When people talk about Xenogears being great, they really just mean the beginning and ending.

Addendum: Rico a shit.

Their team had a fat chunk of their staff taken from them in order to finish and release FF8 on time

A decent team would have been working on the essentials instead of fucking Tekken X Virtual-On minigames.

GRORIOUS FF does it again.
Goddamn, I hate that series so fucking much.
>you will never play a complete Xenogears game
Feels bad man. I played it for the first time a few years back and even then I was left lacking. I can only imagine the sorrow that people that played the game during their childhood felt.

Hmmm yes I understand your explanation
>>341666334
Xenosaga had 3 games cut.

Xenosaga was also shit from the start. Episodes 1 and 2 are terrible.

>Not a waste of space
Even more inconsequential than post-Nortune Rico.

No one beats Rico's uselessness though
>>341671914
She gets less screentime in the ending than Rico, Chuchu, and even Margie.
