belgurdo said:And I realized too that PS is pretty much the only pure Sci-fi J-RPG out there (aside from stuff like Lagrange Point.) Star Ocean dares to comes close, but they drop the science for generic Dragon Quest-ish bullshit pretty early in (maybe the upcoming one fixes this, I'd have to play it and see.) Wonder why they haven't made too many?
I guess the Xeno-series is sci-fi too ? Wouldn't know for sure, haven't really played either Gears nor Saga. But PS was definitely the only continuing series with a sci-fi theme in the 90s.. I also liked how the story continued throughout the sequels, despite there always being hundreds of years between each episode. Seeing Alys' statue or meeting up with Miau (sp?) in PS IV really made me smile as a huge fan of the series since the first game. Those Sega Ages remakes look plenty cool though, why is Playstation2 starting to tempt me now, so late in its life-cycle ?
