1st disc is a great 90's RPG, if a bit convoluted and messy at times. 2nd disc is a weird unfinished travesty, though. It was the first game I ever played that was so very obviously incomplete and slapped together with duct tape to ship it. I know many games make concessions to meet deadlines, but this is the first one I remember playing that very, very obviously cut significant portions of its intended development to meet a deadline. Probably half the content on disc 2 was unfinished and was relegated to expositional text dumps.

I felt that the pacing till you got to Tower of Babel was slow, everything after till the end of disc 1 was great. Then disc 2 dumps everything on you at once. It gets more praise than it deserves in my mind and feels more like a prototype. Praising this is like praising concept art because of what it could be instead of what it actually is.

They also love video games (including retro), and emulators themselves are written by trannies, while anime is produced by straight non-tranny Nipponese men. So technically /vr/ is a hobby more tainted by trannies than anime, double digit IQ gorilla.

LSD is not conducive to a pleasant experience while playing Xenogears due to the intensity of the visuals.
Shrooms are okay, but don't lend themselves well to repeated use. High doses are disruptive.
Datura is not recommended for daily use. The side effects last for months anyway.
Cocaine is boring.
MDMA produces terrible withdrawal.
DMT leads to temporary cessation of reality, not useful when trying to play games.
Alcohol is goyshit.
Weed is ideal for video games.

Xenogears is good because Takahashi has always tried to create worlds where mecha plausibly exist, and blend that with philosophy, which is rad.
Shame he (and his wife, and his teams, and monolith) have never really pulled off the complete package. Just wild varieties of semi successful failed products and experiments.
In some other universe, Takahashi directed the perfect mashup of Gears, Blade 1, and X, and then died fulfilled, having created the perfect mecha game.

Naw, it came out the same year as Eva. They just have a lot of similar themes, both being deconstructions of the genre and criticisms of the military-industrial complex, the exploitative nature of organized religion, and the untrustworthiness of for-profit mental health professionals in an economy completely captured by the descendants of the same oligarchs capitalism had promised us liberation from. But XenoGears actually has fun with it. The Elements may be obnoxious recurring bosses, but they're also charmingly inept and cute harem girls.

Problem with Takahashi is he was working in the wrong medium. Said it from the start, too, "games are bad for storytelling." Or at least the kinds of stories he wanted to tell. He always felt like gameplay, graphics etc just got in the way and (for better or worse) Xenogears reflects that attitude.

He said in an interview that he felt he had lost something post Xenosaga. I can understand him not wanting to tank his company, but I hate that the Xenoblade games are seen as some great step in the right direction.

In an ideal world I think he would have pivoted into a different medium. He delegates so much of the work already that he's basically just a supervisor at this point.

Although I don't think there's any qualitative difference between LSD and shrooms. If the acid is too intense, just do less of it, and it should be more or less interchangeable with the shrooms.
I would say coke has an application in that if you're trying to pull an all-nighter and you are getting tired around 3 a.m. it will give you the bump you need to secure victory. Also, if anyone I knew bought cocaine just to play a video game for longer, they would earn my eternal respect.

It was inevitable that a thread about Xenogears would bring out the wannabe intellectual degenerates who dreamed big in high school but never amounted to anything in life due to being autistic adhd addled retards with no impulse control. They immediately take to talking about the drugs that have consistently derailed their lives because at the same time those drugs made them feel alive again, they also forced them into a parasitic co-dependent relationship with them, like a woman returning to an abusive lover.

You will never experience teenage consciousness again, no matter how desperately you want to. It, like Xenogears, is dead, along with your hopes, dreams and innocence.

One of the bans in your picture there was even of a guy saying 4chan was an anime website. moot said his quote there in 2012. 12 years ago. And even he was already leaning away from the "anime website" interpretation and the website has only gotten less anime centric over time. Most of the bannings there were about people having offtopic meltdown shitpost fests raging and saying anime should be eradicated from 4chan or something and not just because they said they thought 4chan wasn't an anime website.

It still has dedicated Japanese culture boards and an anime culture undercurrent, but it's pretty diluted at this point and I don't see the point in pretending it's still an anime website or trying to gatekeep this hard over it. The demographics have already changed and it's never going back to the way it was.

>Emulation and video games are not suddenly ruined just because of people that you hate happen to be into it as well.
I know, but I was just showing to that guy that retro gaming is technically more tranny-adjacent than anime, so he doesn't have footing to call anime tranny shit while on a retro game board. Though of course I like both hobbies and don't think the trannies ruin them.
