telling a single continuous story across a million games that all try to be big-budget mega jrpgs without any thought for development time, pacing or budget is dumb

trails games being cut up into arcs is a really big strength because even with 42069 games left you'll still get lots of satisfying resolutions to individual story arcs

apparently xenosaga 3 is the best one because it's the one where things happen because they couldn't spread it out across six games so they just slammed everything into 3 instead

it also censors out the blood in its english localization??? for no reason??? which totally fucks up a few of the cutscenes???
xenosaga 3 is like if they released xenogears disc 2 on its own and expected people to pay for it

What happened to Zoglin anyway? I haven't seen him post in months.

Anyway, I'm going to take a break from Dansan Joshi once I'm done with volume 3, and City's high on the list of stuff I'd like to work on, so I might take a stab at it soon-ish.

Fun fact about Xenosaga: Only Xenosaga 2 ever made it to PAL regions, but to make up for the fact that it's the second game in a franchise that kinda expects you to know poo poo they bundled it together with a disc that's just a video of all the Xenosaga 1 cutscenes.

I still have that.

I never watched the DVD.

I did and I remember it being a disjointed mess that makes precious little sense, as you would expect from a cutscene collection of a game where at least half the plot is explained in normal text boxes.

On the other hand we're talking about Xenosaga here so it probably makes precious little sense even with the full of context of everything going on.

Nah, Xenosaga 1 mostly makes sense outside of obvious questions that they're leaving for the sequels.

tales of zestiria the x is sort of janky but ultimately tells an actual story with a decent ending, which is more than the game it's based on does

ys 2 and dragon slayer both have fun, dumb, actiony ova adaptations that are pretty well animated and super short, which kind of saves dragon slayer's cause being two-episodes long at least means it's always throwing more crazy poo poo at you to make up for not really keeping its own characters straight

the darkstalkers ova gets a bit too talky in episode 3 but it has a really fun dub and is generally well-animated so it's more fun than the cartoon
