This could of been the GOAT JRPG

If only Square gave the development team a bigger budget

still the most ambitious storyline in the history of JRPG

Now if only the writing for that storyline were any good.

kill yourself

best jrpg ever made fuckos

it was good

And then Sawano came along and put a giant stain on the Xeno series...

I doubt it but wonder if he would be willing to redo it. Since Nintendo seem happy to give him the budget he needs and also the extra developers when they need the help.

Dude, he's way over Xenogears. That was over 15 years ago.

It relies entirely on weighty exposition every five minutes.

Even as flawed as it is, I still consider it the GOAT. At least from a story perspective.

>won't see Miang's exposed back after fucking Ramsus
It hurts. She was a cold bitch but fuck she was smokin'

Like any proper RPG should.

>tfw disc 2

>Spam deathblows: The game

It was an okay game with an okay story. FFVII was much better

>tfw still a top 5 game for me based on the strength of disc 1 alone.
Damn you FF VIII

Jesus Christ the adventures and dungeons you could've gotten in disc 2...

And all we got was crappy slides with show and tell. Fuck this world.

Fuck off. They didn't bother even beginning the story until disc 2, and by then it was way too late so they just showed fucking storyboards to try and cram it all in.

Same goes for Xenosaga. It was even rougher than Gears, but damn it had potential.

KOS-MOS is love

It would have been the best JRPG if they had scrapped the entire thing and made a good game instead.

>If only Square gave the development team a bigger budget

No, it probably wouldn't. It might have even resulted in a worse product.

I know that sounds counter intuitive but it's the findings of decades worth of research into software development and if you had any clue what the fuck you are talking about you'd already know that.

The solution to problems with an overambitious project is not to throw more money at it, it's to reduce the scope.

Takahashi was and still is a megalomaniac, no matter the budget or the schedule he will always break them

Best JRPG have chinaman protagonist
