I was just looking for a Xenogears thread.

Started replaying it not too long ago. This is the first time I've replayed in it years. I used to do it regularly when I never had any money for newer games. It's still pretty fun and engaging.

But why did Citan let Fei and Elly eat canned people?

[Anonymous No.3866291]

>>3866270
There's a couple possibilities.

1. He thought it'd be a more effective way to teach them about the evils of Solaris.

Because this seems extreme, especially considering the heart of the plant was in the very next room, I tend to subscribe to the other theory:

2. Being on the run, they were at a loss for food, and he allowed them to eat purely for sustenance's sake.

[Anonymous No.3866485]

>>3866098
at least we got Elly

[Anonymous No.3866497]

>>3866291
the reason is simply because he doesn't want to interfere. he doesn't inform people's decisions, he simply gives them the power and opportunity to make them. he also wants Fei to be able to more correctly relate to the situation that Elly was in.

[Anonymous No.3866502]

>>3866497
the other interpretation was that the same thing happened to him, and he was handing off the burden to change the system or determine the new future to Fei, who was the original contact and the only person with the power and the right to actually make that decision. Citan himself was just another cog in the machine, and if he started to take responsibility now he'd have to take responsibility for everything he'd done.

Xenogears was/is one of few commentaries on almost all of human existence it asks questions and makes you think about so much. I recall. this fucking game, I saw it. this is after ff7 was released in au where xenogears was banned. when I saw this fucking game, next day on poor kid funds I went out got a new psx and got it fucking mod chipped same day to play this game. FUCKING WORTH IT even in the flawed state it was.

Never played Paper Mario, but the appeal of most RPGs is certainly the fact that they're the most "artistic" video games. They easily have the best stories of all the video game genres with actual themes, and tend to have the best music as well. Case in point with Xenogears, and ditto for most other great RPGs such as the Chrono series, final fantasy, countless others. There's some exceptions sure, but you act as if the artistic qualities of RPGs are a niche in the genre, when it's basically what rules it

>Never played Paper Mario, but the appeal of most RPGs is certainly the fact that they're the most "artistic" video games. They easily have the best stories of all the video game genres with actual themes, and tend to have the best music as well.
I'm dismissing your argument because people who spout dumb bullshit like this tend to binge on that genre or have no clue what the fuck they're talking about. Best stories? When's the last time you heard someone praise games like the Dragon Quest series or Chrono Trigger for having a deep and meaningful plots? The vast majority of games in this genre either recycle familiar fantasy tropes in various combinations or spout a bunch of crazy bullshit like Xenogears, Chrono Cross, or some of the MegaTen games. I'll give the genre one thing: it's probably the best at handling world building when it's done right - but most games in it don't have the kind of writing to match their ambition.

Oh, and the music point is utterly stupid. Any game in any genre can have great music. Hell, some of my favorite soundtracks are not from JRPGs.

Why was Fei "better" then id, when id, could pilot a gear without even being in it, he also could lift one handed the Yggdrasil without touching it. Just to be pwned by fai's crew later.

Never played a dragon quest game, but if you can't even name another genre that competes with the stories told by RPGs, then my point still stands. And don't give me some visual novel bullshit cause those aren't even games

>or spout a bunch of crazy bullshit like Xenogears, Chrono cross...
Woah real compelling argument you got there.

And as for the music, RPGs easily have the best, and anyone who doesn't believe this is a delusional faggot.

Xenogears is one. It opened my eyes to what philosophies are worthy of pursuing in life, and what other ones are objectively destructive to believe in (embodied by Karelian). It also opened me up to God from a strictly atheistic position. Mother 3 is another one.

By the way, the way you say action/adventure games have "aesthetic" is hilarious. You're no different from retarded 70s comic book fags who thought the "bad guy designs are so cool! T-the aesthetic here is genius!" You act as if they have the aesthetic of a Monet painting, when their aesthetic is closer to that of a retarded comic book.

If you developed any sort of outlook from Xenogears that you believe to be applicable to real life in any shape, form, or fashion then you need to step away from anything not relatable to the most basic and easily digestible common denominator entertainment accessible because it's readily apparent that you're the type of low I.Q. easily impressionable rube that's extremely malleable and very manipulable.

Not him, but he did say it was the start and depending on the age he was when he first ecounted might be a deciding factor. Point is that schools do not readily teach philosophy, and if this was his first encounter not with just one but multiple differing ones then he could have done a lot worse. If he just stopped there I would agree with You however although the platform of this game was main stream (ps1) I would be loath to say this game is the lowest common denominator as it didn't sell as well as much as a low common denominator game would have (before of course becoming the sleeper cult classic it is today)

Shoving Genesis in the player's face as the very first thing they see was a bit heavy-handed, but overall I think Xenogears' implementation of religious imagery, tenets, and ideologies is pretty tasteful.
