To Have and Have Not - Xenogears, Episode 27
0A lot happens in a very short period of time; Fei humiliates Ramsus once more, and Bart protects Nisan with a crazy robot transformation.
Okay, real talk: what the hell happened to this game? Disc 2 devolves into some weird visual novel-style narrative storytelling that skips over huge swaths of story and dungeon-crawling, and it kinda pisses me off. I have to assume the studio rushed the developers into finishing it, and they just didn't have enough time to do some QA to fine-tune the sections that end up being plastered as still images as Fei and Elly narrate all of the exciting bits.
It's a bizarre shift from the previous 35 hours of gameplay, and I've never experienced a game change so dramatically. It's extremely off-putting. Xenogears went from being one the all-time list in the first 10/15 hours, and it's sunk pretty low pretty quickly just based on its weirdness and narrative shift. I've still enjoyed my time, but I needed to pause just to focus on how the gameplay dissolves into a visual-novel-like narration. And it is so freaking disappointing.
