Tomorrow, I'll be taking advantage of Chicago's prestige, and go and see Metropolis in theaters. Anime movies about future dystopian cities are this cat's meow, and assuming I don't get shot by the dentist/terrorists tonight in my dreams, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning for it.

Xenosaga, Xenogears, Xenostory, Xenocross, Xenophile, and Xenophobia.

Ooh, I know this one! It's from the ending of FF9. I think someone says it in that play. Anyway, I have a question:
I'm not sure if anyone's asked this before, but I'm in a slight dilemma. I've read that Xenogears is going to be remade for the PS2, after the
release of Chapters 1-4. Normally, I'd buy Xenogears now, but there's a chance the remake will be so good it'll blow the PS1 version away.
There's no chance of me buying both versions, since I rarely play through an RPG more than once, especially if it's 80 hours long. So, do you
think I should buy Xenogears now and be able to more fully appreciate Xenosaga, or should I wait until the remake comes out and experience the
series in the proper order?

It's looking like Xenogears is going to recieve a much needed makeover. I wouldn't take this as a sure thing, however. Xenosaga Part 4 might close out with dissapointing sales figures.. (a distinct possiblity, since it doesn't have "Final" or "Ph/Fantasy" in the title.) and Monolith might just decide to simply repackage Xenogears (presuming they have the rights...) Making a game costs money, and some people may not be too keen on playing a prettier version of a game they've already beaten.
In short, the Xenogears remake isn't set in stone. You might as well grab a copy on the cheap now, and thus be able to get all of the references made in Xenosaga.

It's like some horrible fanfiction come to life.

Checking through RPGamer's screenshots and seeing all of the reappearing FF characters, then checking around and seeing a screenshot of
Cloud (in a black cape, interestingly) at another site, I have to wonder if Kingdom Hearts is going to end up being a weird collaboration of Final
Fantasy schtuff the way Final Fantasy Tactics sorta was.
If so (and here's where the question comes in), would Kingdom Hearts be included in the Final Fantasy series? Could it even be in a kind of
Final Fantasy continuity? Or is it just a spin-off, like Chocobo Racing or Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon?
That's all.

The final fantasy "elements" added to the game are likely bait to lure in fans of the series. Big companies do this all of the time, most often in the TV industry. Ever hear of "sweeps week"? That's when stars of a successful show do cameo appearances on less popular shows to boost their ratings. It's like, "Michael Douglas will be guest host on a very special episode of "The Chair?" Let's watch!
Square's done this before, like when the gameboy Seiken Densetsu games for the game boy were renamed "Final Fantasy Legend" just so they'd sell.

And it wouldn't be a complete column without sex jokes.

Hola gato
I think I've found the purrrfect game for you!
Capcom is releasing Black Black for the Gameboy in Japan. The description in Rpgamer's games section lists:
"...the game dispenses with the standard experience and level gaining system of tradional RPGs and requires you to strategically mate with
your teamates inorder to grow stronger..."
YES!!!
I can picture it now: Chesh and the lovely white mage. In order to battle evil....
Chesh makes out with white mage

Level Up!!
Now, if they would only port it to north america
hasta luego

I think they need to invent the Nobel Prize in Gaming specifically for things like this.
Thanks to Rikku's customize ability, my dildo has "HP+20%", "Waterstrike", "Sensor", and or course "Piercing".
