Also, VtMB. Spend forty hours where combat or social skills can each be used to solve most of your problems, albeit you'll want skills in both of them for maximum efficiency, and then the last three levels are pure combat.

Xenogears is the prime choice here. If you get the chance, look into what the creators had originally planned for the end-game; amazing stuff, at least on the drawing board.

I would say Chrono Cross, but that game was already amazing!

Came here to say this.

Jumping on Cronos' back instead of a cutscene.

An elevator chased by a sandstorm.

A massive bird boss after the conveyor belt area.

Still one of my favourite games ever.

Last one only sucked because it involved grinding for large sums of money in an otherwise short game. Honestly I have better memories of Wind Waker's dungeons than I do of ANY other Zelda game's dungeons, and I think that there only being four in Wind Waker has something to do with it.

Fire Emblem 5

It's still really good, with lots of creative ideas for chapters and some interesting mechanics and so on. Unfortunately, it was rushed (presumably due to already being one of, if not the, last SNES games released as is) and you can tell from how unbalanced it is that it wasn't properly playtested to catch some of the ridiculous stuff that it throws at you. It's a shame when potentially great chapters are ruined because the developers just went so overboard on them that they became nearly impossible to enjoy or even play normally.

Mega Man X6 was originally made to be far more advanced on just about every level than the product that was released. They took over 6 months out of its production cycle to rush it out and what came out was rather a mess to an extent.

If they had actually taken the time to fully implement what they were going to it may not have been the start of the decline for the series.

this, not to mention the bugs and the engine issues that plagued the game when it first came out (on the same day HALF-LIFE 2 was released) and all the features that were in the CDs but weren't placed in the game till fans patched them in

it was definitely rushed and it's surprising how it still turned out to be such a great game with the fan patches!

Twilight Princess suffered more from the fact that it was delayed HALF A GOD DAMN YEAR, which would give you the impression that they would have worked to make it perfect, but nope. They had already finished the game and decided not to enhance it in any way during that whole delay, they just spent that time porting it to the Wii. My god f*** Nintendo.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a restored content mod for KotOR II. I also came into this topic to say that game btw.

No good games are rushed.

Majora's Mask was made in a little over a year. Comparatively, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess each took over 3 years.

Super Smash Bros Melee was also extremely rushed while Brawl was a longer, more "refined" effort. We all know what happened with that...

Nintendo would be better off if it stopped trying to excessively refine things, they're actually downgrading their games with that extra time spent.

Super Mario World and The Wind Waker kinda felt rushed, but they're still among my all-time favorites regardless.

And Brawl would be better than Melee if it weren't SO DARN SLUGGISH IN COMPARISON.

I was under the distinct impression that it was a lack of a sufficient budget that was to blame for the end of Xenogears, not a lack of time spent. And the first disc certainly doesn't seemed rushed.

I have no source for this, that's just what I always heard, and it seems to make more sense that way.
