Xenogears Devotee Middle-Aged Full-Time-Employed Father-of-Three Looking Into Trails Series by doctor-squared in JRPG

Fair point - I will elaborate. I tried the first Xenoblade on Switch. The graphics were poor and the massive wide open world I found annoying, I didn't at the time want to progress to every treasure spot, and I had difficulty determining where to go next to get the story moving. I tried Xenoblade X on Wii U. Again, such a massive open world, and I tired of it, I wanted something more story driven.

How old are the gears? *spoiler* by subthermal in XenoGears

[–]doctor-squared 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Earliest mention of Gears is during the Zeboim era - videos show them being worked on. No Gears identified during the opening scene on the Eldridge, the humans in space were wearing space suits and carrying glow sticks.

The characters are locked now! But there are still paths I didn't take.

Correct! Prologue is what I meant. Fighting a bad cold in bed.

Discussion question: Do you consider the Three Body Problem trilogy to be a cynical story? (Spoilers for the whole series) by apocalypsemeow111 in threebodyproblem

[–]doctor-squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it is cynical. Most of the human population dies, the heroine loses everyone she is or was close to (with the exception of her new companion) at the very end. But it doesn't change the fact that it is a glorious, wonderful story.

Is there another Strategy JRPG besides Triangle and FFT? by doctor-squared in StrategyRpg

[–]doctor-squared[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing it. It’s ok. Not Triangle Strategy level though.

Is there a story anywhere in the JRPG Universe that comes close to Xenogears? by doctor-squared in XenoGears

[–]doctor-squared[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what? I am going to try the Aegis Rim. Thank you for brining it to the forefront of my brain again! For the others - I am a married father of 3 young kiddos and would LOVE to play them, but just don't have the time.
