xenogears gave WAY more than ffxv did before it rushed to the finish line

Do you not think visual novels are complete games?

Oh stop it. A game turning into a visual novel when it wasn't supposed to be one is a bad thing, and cop out and show of either laziness or loss of productivity which is confirmed to be the latter so iono know why you still thinking it's a complete game.

It's a complete game. The second disc was rushed due to budget issues and suffered for it. But it's still a complete game.

It's like you think complete is another word for perfect or something.

that it's not incomplete because it went into visual novel mode. you still get your story.

i do think it's incomplete. they didn't want to go that route, but had to. but the first disc gives you a ton of full game, which is why people still like it overall.

Semantics to justify why it's acceptable and why you will make an exception.

the first disc of xenogears has like 50 hours of full game. story is all there. second disc is single digit hours of a fast tracked story and boss fights.

ffxv is x-amount of open world stuff, then what like 10 hours of story based stuff provided that you go straight for the end?

they're not the same to me.

Let's be completely fucking honest. The ONLY reason disc 1 was so fucking long was because of the fucking slow and long ass unskippable dialogues. Remember the long ass planning and talking about surprise attack that sand submarine in Nisan? Yeah that type of shit.

That people should be more critical of Xenogears? Or that people should be less critical of modern games like FFXV?

Both.

Which is way better than it being long as hell because of grinding or dungeons that don't know when to freaking end.

this is true. i wonder if there's a rom hack of it, improving text speed. it'll be different for sure, but i don't think it'll be massive if you're still reading everything and not skipping it.

It is only loved on the internet.

Disagreed. There's a reason why now you can skip cutscenes but have to endure the fight.

Ensures that the story will play out exactly as it should without fear of accidentally skipping or speeding up the lines which disrupts the flow of the dialogue.

Oh lord I'm sorry but this is reaching.
