Xenosaga Episode II: Der Wille Zur Wank
First wank. Whoohoo!

Things start out rather normally on this RPGamer thread. Looks like Soraya Saga, the scenario writer for both Xenogears and Xenosaga: Episode I, left the Xenosaga team shortly after finishing her work on Xenosaga: Episode II. She doesn't give many reasons, and people chat about what might happen with the series now.

Then everyone turns to discussions of nom de plumes and gender equality.

Aaediyen states:

Xenosaga never lived up to what it was really going to be in my mind. Maybe she wanted to bail and do other projects so she didn't have to take part in the rest of the series and waste her time. That might be what I would do, but that's just me.

Slayer of God replies:

Yes, and you're narrow-minded, so I won't take what you say seriously. Heh.

Things go back on the topic of equality, with just a little wank.

While the equality chat goes on on page 2 of the forum, Maudren pops in his/her two cents:

First Post:

Hironubu Sakaguchi may still be "in touch", but does he actually have any creative control anymore?

Second post:

I like kittens.

Apparently, the mods jumped in and edited the post, in which Maudren originally accused Slayer of God of... something concerning his/her earlier post. The crap hits the fan. Slayer of God makes a threat, Maudren gets annoyed, the mods make threats, and someone posts an image of Dr. Evil. The Maudren/Slayer fight soon ebbs a bit, and things go back on topic for a minute before Aaediyen brings the wankage in response to someone's quote that they 'don't dislike Slayer of God':

Well I do, but my new years resolution was to not fight with him on here anymore. And to lose 20 pounds.

...

...

...

Well, I can still lose weight, right? He's too good at defending his views to ignore. Saddly, he's just as good at starting fights. I clearly stated it was my opinion that Xenosaga didn't live up to "my" expectations. Then you call me close minded! Oh the pain... ...

A rather bizarre and shortish wank, but wank indeed.

	Xenosaga is inherently wanky just from the pretentiousness of using famous Nietzsche titles as surtitles to the games. And all the Wagner references. And the Gnostic ones. And... (Reply to this)(Thread)

Ah, fansquee. "OMFG XENOGEARS, PRETENTIOUS?!!!!! No, see, it just had a higher calling! It was deep and full of meaning! And religious symbolism! And more symbolism! That's what made it so GR8T!... Ah, who are we kidding, we didn't get half of it either."

Xenogears had a giant pink fluffy thing crucified as a clear Jesus reference. If THAT isn't pretentious, what is? XD

	Yeah but with Shion's wiggle and short skirt and high kicks, and KOS-MOS's thigh hight boots how pretentious can it be? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm equal-opportunity--I think they're BOTH pretentious. Xenosaga just takes it to new heights, and does it with some of my beloved cultural references. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Don't forget that Xenogears is as much on crack as it is pretentious. ^_~ (Reply to this)(Parent)
