Default Xenosaga and FF13 are the same exact game.

Xenosaga and FF13 are the same. They're both futuristic JRPGs that involve religion and are both extremely linear and have long cutscenes where most of the action happens. The cutscenes have the action and the game is just fights and walking, but there's a cutscene every 5 minutes.

Why then, do people like Xenosaga and dislike FF13?

Is it because Xenosaga is good and told well and FF13 sucks?

Yeah, sure... with at least one glaring singular difference (or dozens)...

Xenosaga sucks

Yeah, they're nothing alike, IMO. XIII is a different sort of SciFi/Fantasy fusion. Xeno was more straight up SciFi and... well, most of it made no freak'n sense to me. Characters were mostly uninteresting it was deplorably linear (okay, XIII has that going for it anyway) and the character progression system was waaaaaaay different than either 13.

But, yeah sure... religion and all that. But, all JRPGs have long cutscenes and XIII is actually pretty brief by comparison.

It seems to me you're generalizing a bit. Nearly every JRPG is fashioned from the same mold. They all look and play more or less alike.

Nah, its because Xenosaga has weirdly skimpy-clothed emotionally robotic chicks. Its still a terrible game though, needs more buttsex.

I agree Gladys. It's like Star Wars and Star Trek. They're both in space and they have space ships with the most linear plots. Don't forget about their plasmic rayguns. They're the exact same thing except with a different sound effect.


Why then, do people like Star Trek and dislike Star Wars?

Is it because Star Trek is good and told well and Star Wars sucks?

Whiplash made a compelling argument in the chatbox once about how similar Bayonetta and FFXIII's plots are. It was more in-depth than this.

With the most important point being that FFXIII didn't let you use magical ice skates on lava.

OMG I just realized. An anagram of Xenosaga is "No sex aga" and since you're always allowed to add or subtract one letter it's: "No Sex Gaga"!

Oh wait, troll thread, not conspiracy thread... Nvm

I thought that was Bayonetta...

In any case, Emotionally problematic sluts facing end-of-the-world crises can basically sum up just about any JRPG.

I am taking this, quoting it for truth, and sticking it in a signature somewhere for being awesome...

I was going to say this but now I can't, so I'll just point out that FarronGuy's current signature is entirely a misquotation.

Lisa: Enjoy Bob Saget.
Chief Wiggum: That's Bob Seger.

Way too old. But as some interesting trivia FFXIII is considered a throwback to FFVII. FFVII had its own prototypes. Before current the FFVII existed a title named Xenogears was propose as the storyline for the next Final Fantasy game which at the time was FFVII. However the script was called too dark and complicated for a fantasy. This same series eventually became Xenosaga which is a throwback to Xenogears. Although XIII to Xenoblade might be an easier argument considering the two are very loosely based off their predecessors. Hmm Kosmos & Shion x Lighting & Serah.
