Atreides reacted to Flame-X in What game(s) do you think has/have the best and worst writing/storytelling?
I'll one up you for putting Xenogears.
However, let's back up for a sec. As the end of the game shows, Xenogears is episode 5 of the universe. The problem is, while Xenosaga trilogy was originally intended to be episode 1 of the Xenogears universe, due to creators parting ways with square creating their own studio and square's copyright & ownership, Xenosaga is just an alternate retelling of Xenogears episode 1 in a different universe, so it's got nothing to do with Xenogears. Of course this is not gonna stop fans from making theories based on some easter eggs and design aesthetics shown in Xenosaga. I haven't played Xenosaga 2 or 3 so I can't speak for them but Xenosaga 1 greatly disappointed me coming from right after playing Xenogears.
Otherwise, I still haven't encountered a jrpg story with so much complexity and in-depth-ness compared to Xenogears. It's not afraid to tackle mature and controversial themes, it's rated M for a reason. Disc 2 was definitely change of direction. The pacing was like a bullet train speed without giving you much of a break to digest the info dump. So it will take you a few rewinds to connect the dots. A good way to fully comprehend Xenogears is to check out the Perfect Works book which covers some things that wasn't fully fleshed out within the game. Anyone who's been wanting to experience an incredible video game story telling, look no further than Xenogears.

Atreides reacted to PsychoΔelica in Your most recent music discovery?
Not a musical discovery per se - they are a visual+sound installation unit, and I discovered them by one of Ryuichi Sakamoto's posts on Facebook.
Not all that recent but as far as discoveries go I think it was one of the most interesting ones I made.
Btw, they also came to my country for a festival, but that was a bit before I knew about them. :/

It has combos your characters can pull off plus some good mech action in certain battles. However, Xenogears far outshine Xenosaga in every aspect battlewise. The battles are pretty fuxccin spicy and they have mechs also. All of the xenos are actually challenging also. My only gripe is disc 2 on Xenogears, it's more of an interactive story than an rpg, but it's because Square was rushed for time as they were pushing out FF8 in the same timeframe.
edit: oops forgot to clarify something

Best Story: Xenosaga I, II, III and Xenogears
It's so complex and well done that I can't even describe it properly. If you like games that have almost more cutscene than gameplay then this is for you. I also love the fact that Xenogears (for ps1) is the final entry in the series even though Xenosaga I, II, and III are for the PS2. Even if you can't get your hands on the games, do yourself a big favor and watch a let's play or something. If you like stuff like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Star Trek, etc. then this is right up your alley. It's simply amazing. Storywise it's the best game series I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

What are the ex-members of Kagrra doing these days? I wish the remaining members would form a band together with some of the spirit of Kagrra. Not a carbon-copy of course, but something along the lines of mid-era Kagrra.

Atreides reacted to YuyoDrift in Post your "UNPOPULAR" music opinions!
What kind of shit do I have for today? Let's see.
All I could do while listening to deviloofs new material, was chuckle from embarrassment.
The intro and 1st track had me chortle something fierce, behind my hand, which was covering my face.
Here I almost forgot why I don't listen to anything like nocturnal bloodlust.
I will give them their dues though. It was an impressive.....what ever the hell it was. Just not for me.
Pentagon's latest release has got to be one of the top 5 worst things I have ever listened to.
That's all I'm going to say about it.
Has mejibray disbanded yet?
Lycaon 2.0 huh?
Yeah........just, yeah.
