I started Xenogears not long ago. Man, is that game a JRPG. Writing is exactly the right kind of campy. Serious Chrono Trigger vibes from it.
Bayo 2. One of my GOTY.

That's becase it's Chrono Trigger 2. I'm not even joking. It's the Square half of the CT team minus Sakaguchi. Lucca is in the fucking first town for fucks sake.

DO NOT CLICK ON THIS SPOILER
I should get around to finishing Gears. I only got to the part where Fei and Elly meet up.
Too late
You drawing so much attention to it made me click on it, now I'm actually curious.
You already spoiled that in a video.

Well considering there was no chance of Takahashi's plan to have a 6 game series, Xenogears (which again is Episode 5) had to be as much of a closed package as it was. He didn't get to write it the way he wanted as that 6 part series which was why it seems like it has such a strong cohesiveness.
And the first two games aren't good, but that's why I said XS3 is better than Xenogears. The gameplay/music/story/etc. with the exception of maybe the characters, all blow it out of the water with none of the budget issues that Xenogears had (though you can argue that Xenosaga III purely existed because of budget issues). Its a fantastic game that is somehow only made better by the mediocrity of the first two games. It really is that insane.

oh my gooood
you fucking people
Xenogears is the fucking alpha and omega
It goes places with it's narrative that embarasses jrpgs to this fucking day

I already knew where this story was going. They DO NOT SHUT UP with the ancient myths about gears in the beginning of this game.

Well hell, if it's that cheap I might be able to get both after I pay off Bloodborne's collector's edition and get the Wii U. I still have never played Bayonetta, despite character action being my favorite genre. I have the ps3, and from what I hear the port is dogshit.
No thanks

You already spoilt it in one of the podcast when comparing it to W101. I haven't beaten it yet and I know you
punch god in the face

I know, it's not like I hated it just other things got in the way. Namely Xenoblade

Nier does some great things, and it's newer than Xenogears.

I'll be able to see for myself after buying it because of your recommendation.

How long to beat? I've got a backlog that I'm chipping away at.
Is that the god awful bland and broken looking thing Pat and Liam played where a girl somehow had a flower caught in her eye?
Looked painful.
Nah, I'm good. Too much backlog.
Maybe after I finish P2. Is it better than P2?

That was actually one of the first times I knew I loved Gintama, where they had an in depth discussion about the naming convention of the Kinniku Buster in the middle of a court case.

That's Drakengard 3.
Its not really that long compared to other RPG's. I dont remember my final time though.
That was Drakengard 3
Your loss brah

Drakengard 3? Nothing god awful or bland about that.
But broken is right on the money.

Worth playing way more than any Xeno-whatever game.
I want to get through Drakenguard first

Oh god, now that's a whole other fucking universe I can go into. Christ the Drakengard lore is one crazy fucked up mess and I love everything about it. The fact that Yoko Taro took inspiration from Evangelion for the first Drakengard game is so obvious, but (imo) executed so much better.
Wonderful 101. Don't let these casuals fool you with their not DMC character action.
Wonderful 101 is for real gamers who like cool things like Gurren Lagann and stuff.
Also play Nier guys. It's good.

Holy shit, Jingle All the Way 2 is in my apartment. I concrete jungled that to my cousin a month ago. That motherfucker must have hid it here when she was over earlier. It's fucking war, now.

I'll play neither, and play Fallout New Vegas.
Romancing Saga: Minstrel Song is also pretty good RPG with a fun battle system.
But I'm the type that plays obscure stuff. Even though the amount of Freedom that game gives you to do what you want and the world big enough that it actually makes you feel like you're exploring is great. (Plus there are like 25-30 playable characters)
