It sure is. The first draft of this article described Fran and Balthier as “Steampunk Han Solo and Chewbacca But They Fuck.”

Those first ten hours...

You know? It’s not that bad! Even now. I’m not saying it’s great by any means, but there’s some merit there. And it’s nothing if not delightfully bizarre. But it’s ultimately just more of FF7's particular brand of bizarre.

I’ll give you New Droid Army. But Force Unleashed 2 is at least playable, and Masters of Teras Kasi has extreme novelty and Mara Jade elevating it.

Whoa, really?! Where can I find these quotes. I need them in my life.

There’s only so much space before the article got unwieldy! The original draft was just over 6K words and delved much further into the trash on consoles, PC, and especially Game Boy and Game Boy Advance.

Shadows of the Empire is such a fascinating game. All of those mid-90s Star Wars games were janky but they were also incredibly forward thinking. Shadows of the Empire, Masters of Teras Kasi, Dark Forces, X-Wing; they all did really experimental things mixing genre and pushing tech forward. 

Aw dang. Thank you! I’m mostly visiting from my day job over at the brand new Escapist.

Glad you dig it. This is an easy one to see through to the true ending, though! I recommend it.
