There were parts of The Silmarillion that had an actual story.
Also you could TOTALLY do a Guitar Hero type thing with the creation story -- Ainur Hero! "TOTALLY RAD! YOU CREATED THE PERFECT LIFE FORMS! BUT WATCH OUT FOR THAT MELKOR DUDE, HE'S TOTALLY HARSHING YOUR CHORDS! NOT COOL!"
... this would probably be a more successful joke if I'd ever actually played Guitar Hero and knew what the little electronic groupie talked like.
[6:13:22 PM] Bahamut725: Only tangentially related, I believe I have discovered that Xyzzy is a Tolkien reader. [6:14:48 PM] bossgoji: I think it's more dissing on FF12 than that. [6:15:00 PM] bossgoji: Also: *whap* I agree with him. ^_^ [6:15:02 PM] Bahamut725: Then I need to clarify. [6:15:06 PM] Bahamut725: I love the hell out of FF12. [6:15:17 PM] Bahamut725: But the writing... well, let's just say that, much like Vagrant Story before it [6:15:28 PM] Bahamut725: I needed a flowchart to figure out what the fuck was going on at ANY time. [6:16:01 PM] bossgoji: ...I never had ANY problems figuring it OR Vagrant Story out. [6:16:05 PM] Bahamut725: ..... [6:16:11 PM] Bahamut725: are you a wizard
[6:18:00 PM] Bahamut725: Also, the sidequest stuff in 12 was RETARDEDLY grindy.
[6:18:37 PM] Bahamut725: I should probably clarify there, too. It's not the combat system so much that's stupid. [6:18:43 PM] Bahamut725: The license board. [6:18:53 PM] Bahamut725: It's like a sphere grid with added durr.
oh god 12. I could NOT get into that, I played it for five minutes, tops. My brother managed to tough it out longer but eventually gave up too, it's just... so awkward to understand.
