I don't know why you think they would react differently. If you were a kid with a snes or genesis and someone gave you a 2600 which would you fucking pick? The newer one of course, it's natural of a child to do that. Kids don't care about quality, something on a ps4 looks newer so it looks better, basic psychology.

>"uh...not sure", then walks away
Fuck these guys. You can treat someone willing to buy from you a bit better.

Xeno has the consistent problem of being too ambitious and never thinking of their restraints. The entire series often begins as them wanting to create a giant series with insanely complicated plots that span multiple games. Then they make one or two and realize they probably should have thought this through more.

With xenosaga literally one of selling points was anime robot titties and the needlessly complicated plot. It's too complicated for those who want fanservice and too shallow for those whp want anything meaningfull.

Also I have no idea what the fuck your talking about. Today most jrpgs are glorified VNs with too much plot and too little gameplay. To be good it needs a balance. It needs engaging gameplay while maintaining a good plot never gets in the way of the gameplay. Gameplay is ALWAYS more important overall. It's why dragon quest is such a great series, they have fun and simple plots that never interfere with the gameplay.

>My pet peeve are games where, as my roommate puts it "its the world's most complex suicide plot" which seems to be a recurring theme
What do you mean? I genuinely don't get what you're saying by that phrase.

Why is it that every English translator of Japanese media, especially video games, is a complete knobhead? How difficult is it to just translate a fucking video game? Don't cut anything out, don't put any of your stupid internet jokes or references in, just take the text, translate it, and make sure that it makes sense when you type it in. Why is that such an intense struggle for EVERY translator? What the hell is wrong with these people's heads?
