I've never actually heard The White Dragon's voice. In fact, I understand that he's done an FFIX LP here, but since I never quite got round to completing the game, I'm not going to go through it yet. But I do recognise the name; something's saying I know him either through a Grey Hunter LP, B-17 Queen of the Skies (the LP not the TG thread), Moments: A Game of Consequence, or (and this is what I think most likely) Let's Read Speeding Up. It could be more than one of the above.

What I'm really saying is, do you have a link?

Cool. I never got very far in Chrono Cross, but now that you mention it I remember looking at a strategy guide at a bookstore long ago and seeing that there was a futuristic area near the end of the game. But it's just a few screens, right? And maybe a dungeon? It didn't look like there was much to explore.


Re: Xenosaga

Serifina posted:

They do! Both present-day and flashback cities.

Yeah isn't there a location in the first game where everything is like a 20th century American city? That seems wildly out of place considering the overall setting of the game. I didn't actually play to that point though. Man, that game baited you with just enough of Xenogears' style to make it intriguing while being simultaneously bereft of any of the magic that made XG so good. At least for me.


ShadeofBlue posted:

Final Fantasy Legend 1, 2 and 3 all do, although those are black and white handheld games, so it might not be what you had in mind.

Hell yeah, I forgot all about these! I think there were actually DS remakes for them, or at least the first two. Too bad they never came out in the US..


waah posted:

gently caress Star Ocean 3.

Yeah.

...

There's something about the way that JRPGs in particular create such compelling worlds. Even if the characters generally tend to seem a little weird due to cultural differences, in a way that just serves to make the games feel more 'fantastic'.

Western RPG settings seem to tend more toward the medieval fantasy setting, and if they do go for sci-fi it tends to be more dark and gritty. To me one of the things that makes FFVII so great is the way it presents its own dark & gritty high-tech world, because even though it's dystopian, the cities themselves are filled with so much visually beautiful scenery. It also communicated a compelling sense of scale, especially considering the hardware it was made for.

It's too bad, because I can't say that I've come across a game, since FFVII, that's had such a unique and well-developed world outside of a fantasy/magical setting. Xenogears probably came the closest, but it definitely wasn't as fleshed-out. Lost Odyssey might have come close, but back in the day my Xbox 360 died before I was halfway done with it, so I can't really know. I hope that something will come out in the future that surpasses FFVII in the setting department, some day. Even though I sadly never seem to find time for video games anymore, maybe someone will LP it.

Oh, and speaking of games like FFVII: what about Panzer Dragoon Saga? Were there any futuristic or high-tech cities in that game? It seemed like the people had a fairly advanced material culture, but the only town location I've seen in screenshots looks like a tiny desert village.

dis astranagant
Dec 14, 2006

Panzer Dragoon's setting is weird like that. There was an insanely advanced civilization ages ago that wiped itself out and people are just beginning to figure out how to use some of the stuff they left behind. And since they were big on sentient bio-mechanical stuff many of their facilities are still hard at work doing stuff the outside world doesn't have a clue about.

I guess the "future" in CC is basically a long "dungeon," (certainly more than a few screens) but there's a lot of plot and poo poo crammed in there. On the other hand, the place is ruined and not really a "living city" to explore.

It's more than that, really. Chronopolis and the Terra Tower are both high tech, as are various other parts of Chrono Cross, but overall the game is not close to not sci-fi. But if you've played Chrono Trigger you owe it to yourself to play Chrono Cross.

Also, that game has the best soundtrack of any game in the history of games having soundtracks.

Chrono Cross has to be top five video game soundtracks of all time absolutely. The chrono series has always been about making a bleak future better, so yeah all their advanced cities are always ruins with few survivors. I don't know if anyone ever mentioned any of the Shadowrun games, and it seems almost too obvious so I am gonna assume someone did.

You could also mention the Mega man RPG that came out roughly 2003/2004.
