That's right, I totally forgot about that. by Jhoh Creexul 03/06/2003, 2:06am PST

I’m disappointed at the conspicuous lack of attacks on mythopoeticism. I’ve never played any of the Xenogames, but from what I’ve heard, one of their most acclaimed aspects was an egregious hero-with-a-thousand-encyclopedias style mythic relevance I mean underpinning I mean costuming I mean name dropping. I thought this was taken very seriously by RPG sites everywhere and more than warranted flippant address. Or am I confusing Xenogears with another one of the infinitely derivative 2d RPGs on accident?


Yeah, I did skip all the blatant and meaningless religious references. There were more in Xenogears anyway, and that's pretty much covered by Toasty F. Rog. Still, I had something planned to say about them. Something to the effect of the religious references being thrown around have about the same effect as using any other random series of objects, like types of shoes or Ocean Spray flavors. They could've replaced all references of "Zohar Machine" and "Fifth Jerusalem" with "Cranapple" and "Cranberry Cocktail" and it would've been as impressive and meaningful.

It's not too late to write a paragraph of that for the review is it?
