One of the most overhyped jrpgs of all time

The short stories (which are detached from the main narrative that goes against the message of the shorts) and uematsu's music are the only good things about it. Gameplay and main narrative are both underwhelming. Game is only felated because 1. It was an xbox exclusive and xbots don't/didn't play jrpgs (same reason tales of vesperia got felated but no one gave a fuck about the remaster) and 2. FFXIII sucked so people nuthugged sakaguchi despite him never making a good game post-square (TLS is ok)

If you weren't already aware that Sakaguchi was a gigantic fraud you're probably starting to realize it now

Yeah the story is actually kinda shitty and not very good. Even the characters are kinda shit. It's carried HARD by the thousand dream stuff having some real stand out moment but, like you said, the writer didn't even write all of those and honestly the quality of them varies a lot as well.

Gameplay wise it's kinda whatever as well. It's better than FF post 12 but that's not really saying a ton. Honestly I'd sooner compare it to Dragon Quest than FF anyways

..so what?

So the main story is kinda bad and looks even worse next to the stories. The story would seem way less bland if you weren't stopping to read something way more interesting every so often.

>>3993485
Ah. A good thing is actually bad.

>>3993490
The point is that the short stories are super disconnected from the main narrative so you get the occasional really good short story only to get thrown back into the very bland actual game.

If you're too stupid to understand why the stark quality difference is a bad thing then I don't know what to tell you.

Arcaic Sealed Heat: ASH? More like Archaic Sealed Shit: ASS!

>>3993494
Crazy how your depressed mind twists everything into being shit.

They are complementary, braindead nigga. That's why the main story is simple.

>>3993751
>They are complementary
It's not. It just makes the main story extra boring.
>>3993498
Sorry I insulted a game you probably haven't even played

>>3993751
>it's shitty on purpose!
Really?

>>3993788
Simple, sophist. Not shitty.

>>3993790
But it's really bland and boring? Plus it creates a big disconnect when the characters don't act the same.

You're simple trying too hard to justify a gimmick that wasn't done well.

>>3993799
It is bland and boring, but on its own. That is why they are complementary, together they make sense. And what do you mean characters don't act the same? Kaim accepting the life as immortal and living a happy life with Sarah, Cooke and Mack? It is the culmination of the journey and their evolution as character. I can't recall exactly the dialogue, but Sarah talks about moving on and learning to accept emotions and etc in the final dialogue directed at Seth.

Has anyone played all of Sakaguchi's post square output?
I have no interest in Blue Dragon.

Keep in mind it's much easier to write a good story when you don't have to make said story gel with a bunch of gameplay. The thousand year dream stories where great short stories but would make for an awful video game. The lost odyssey main story is a good video game story that provides lots of opportunities for cool gameplay sequences like the intro battle with the army or the fight on top of the train or the escape in the submarine etc... But would probably make for a lackluster sequence of short stories.

The writers had two entirely different tasks set upon them and comparing the stories is pretty fucking dumb.

I love how they put veins in Ming's massive tits.
