Message: [QUOTE="RageBurner, post: 15263, member: 5434"] No crucifixion, immolation or ritual drowning, I promise. I like how open everyone is here, and respect and camaraderie never once left the table, that's why this place is great, that's why you guys are great. Not disagreeing with you, but as a gentle pushback on the Xenogears angle, it's a very personal game to me. You are right that it is terribly linear, but it is executive meddling that made it less than it could have been, and that hurts my soul, honestly. Among other things, it was once considered as a prototype to FF7 even, so you could tell there was passion behind it and I believe it was by the second disc that the game would have really opened up, but Square cut the funding, and we only got the boss rush because the creators of the game stood their ground. As for FF7, it is indeed monumental, and still my favorite. Is it perfect? not at all, no Final Fantasy ever is, but FF7 hit all the right notes, and, let's be frank, truly set the franchise onto the world stage. A lot of people just love to hate on it to get some sort of confirmation bias, that's all. That said, what I'd love see (besides a Xenogears remake that properly represented the creators' vision), is a version of FF7 with all the cut content and abandoned plot threads woven back into it.
