The world record for a Xenogears speedrun is 18 hours...

That is beyond insane.

Highspirits

...I never finished Xenogears.

How far did you get?

Aveh city, I think?

Oh man that's still pretty early game!

It has been a long time since I played it.

Yeah.

Like, for context on how long it's been.

I got distracted by a new game.

Said game:

Pokémon Black.

Ahahaha wow.

augh he's at the Tower of Babel

I may have to stop watching for a bit

At least you're not playing through it yourself!

Yes but I'm having painful flashbacks.

"The platforming in this game is horrendous." Yes. Yes it is.

As a fellow Billy player, I can share any icons I color? X3 /pleased with more Xenogears people

I also feel like the only one not eternally scarred by Babel Tower. XD

Ahh you have a Billy journal?

I have a bunch of icons but more are always welcome!

I do! Though only one of the icons is one I made.

I still need to do icons from the doujinshi I have. >>

cute

All my icons are from the LJ days... I can do so much better now.

That one was from lj too. XD

Well it's still better than the crap I made back then. XD

I have a journal for Emeralda too but I'd really need to canon review before I played her at all...

I really only have Billy. XD

Do you play from Xenosaga at all, by any chance?

I never finished the first one even... I had the tiniest muse for Tony and... One for Allen. But neither got very far.

Ahh I see... for all the faults the series had, I loved it, so very much.

Thata the second person I've seen with an Allen journal. He gets awesome in three

Allen needs more love!

I sadly didn't own it and my cousin hated the game and sold it to a store instead of to me. After that I never really got back to finding it

and playing it again.

Ahh oh no... that's so sad...

I burned out around the Soylent Green subplot

Billyyyyyyy

Not gonna lie, the Tower of Babel nearly made me quit the game forever.

What makes it so bad to people? I was expecting a lot worse when I got there.

The platforming was so incredibly frustrating to me. Jumping over and over only to miss and slide down and have to do it all again... it was just not very kind to me.

I fully admit it wasn't very well planned out platforming. Maybe my experience is because I like jumping puzzles. XD
