  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

http://www.xgam.org/xenogears/novelization/ Some fans are doing it on this site.... This is what they have after 8 years. I am sure though, that mostly everyone interested in Xenogears has already long ago stumbled upon this Xenogears fansite. There were at a time 3 big ones, I think one closed, and the other converted to a Xenosaga site.

You mean, if I want to read it I have to cut and paste and print it in Word or read that HUGE thing online?

The only game I can think of that's worth novelizing (and I assume this means more than just write the script out in a prose way) would be Final Fantasy Tactics. There are games with good plot but most of them are pretty complete.

And Xenogears is just plain long. It's not like the plot was ever good. In the end there's like 2 characters in your party that ever mattered (Elly and Fei) and it's not clear Elly has much significance beyond being kidnapped.
