| Evillordexdeath 06/29/21 4:00:46 AM #23: | 8 I love this game, but I do think its story is flawed and suffers from a little bit of pretentiousness. It has a refreshingly mature tone compared to most JRPGs especially with its handling of things like romance, sexuality, and nudity, and there are plenty of strong moments and well-developed characters, but I also feel like its smorgasbord of psychological/philosphical concepts drawing from Frued, Jung, Nietzsche and so on are thrown in kind of haphazardly at points and if we do indulge the internet's insistence on comparing this to Evangelion (I originally watched Eva because I was interested in the anime that "inspired" Xenogears lol) it doesn't really match the psychological depth that the characters in that had. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
