1. I am watching a LetsPlay of the 6th game in what is undoubtly one of the worst RPG Maker game series ever made.
   Right now, there's a dialogue going on between a group of characters; two in particular:
   
   The original Final End-boss from the first game (who
   keeps getting killed off in almost every game but returns anyway and who
   has been a party member since the 3rd game, kind of) and the priest
   character who defeated him in the 5th game but send his soul to paradise
   instead of hell, despite his many murders & betrayals, because the
   other party members back then asked him too, after said End-Boss asked
   them to tell his love that he'll love her forever and has always loved
   her. (A love, which came out of nowhere in the 5th game, which had never
   been there before and was in fact 'quite' non-existand, juding by the
   many times he'd insult her or tried to kill her before that game).
   
   Said so-called love interest is now married to the
   priest, having done this about a week after the end-boss of the last
   game had been defeated and simultaneously a week after her then husband
   for many years had been killed during the game (in which 90% of her
   story arc was based on the fact that she loved said man and wanted to
   get back to him more then anything else after an...let's call it
   argument, to pretend it made sense).
   
   Here's the summary of the dialogue:
   
   MaleHero: “You! You are supposed to be dead!”
   Endboss: “I am actually still dead. I am projecting my
   ghost from the spirit-world to the real world, because I was bored after
   8 years in paradise. Mind reviving me?”
   MaleHero: “What?”
   Priest: “You can't bring back people from the dead, stupid!”
   FemaleHero: “MaleHero and I have been revived before too. I was dead twice, actually.”
   Priest: “Don't tell him that!”
   Endboss: “I know that, stupid. I've been dead before too and I've been revived.”
   Priest: “You are evil! I hate you!”
   Endboss: “Then why did you send me to heaven 8 years ago?”
   Priest: “I did?”
   Endboss: “You did.”
   Priest: “...You are evil! I hate you!”
   Endboss: “One of your living friends killed half the
   protagonists of the first game at the end of the first game, after being
   their party member, you know. She's evil too.”
   OtherFemaleHero: “I am sorry!!”
   FemaleHero: “Aw, that's allright. We forgive you for killing us and our entire race. Twice. You're my best friend!”
   Hero: “Yeah!”
   Priest: “Yeah, she is nice now. Don't be mean towards my wife!”
   Endboss: “She's your wife? - You'll regeret loving her.
   Everyone who does, dies. By the way, the thing about me loving her
   forever? Yeah...kinda got bored of that, and it was a really stupit
   plottwist. I don't anymore.”
   Priest: “You are evil! Why should we help you?”
   Endboss: “I'll be able to help, if I'm alive again?”
   Priest: “Okay.”
   
   Meanwhile, the party has just returned to their burning
   home village, with dead people lying about, and in worry for their
   children which had been at home, in said burning village last they saw
   them.
   Not counting the two flashbacks we saw during this, they've been
   standing and talking there for a good 15 minutes or so.
   

This all takes place about 1 1/2 hours into the game, I'd say, and is part of the intro. The gameplay so far consisted of: Play one of the kids for three minutes. Walk the party back to the town for a minute. The rest was cutscene/s.
And also, to be clear on this: I paraphrased the textboxes, to give you the rundown as short as possible. The context remains the same however and you are honestly not missing much XD'

[DerVVulfman]

I have played some games that may be a little dialog heavy. Heck, one contains about 18 hours of storyline.... but it actually had a story, politics, adventure, mystery and humor. But THIS! An argument between the heroes and a boss enemy that is already dead wanting to be revived? And part of an intro? My head hurts.

Well... um... I finally mailed out my last X-Mas gift after getting the correct address. I know, a little late. But unavoidable.

[yamina-chan]

There are some good games, with great diaouge and long or short playtime.
This isn't one of them XD'

Edit: ...I...spoke too soon.
The game got much, much worse.

[Ahzoh]

Don't worry yamina-chan, I use TvTropes!
Also, I have a country, a language and I am developing a cultures in said country.
I have a background.

[yamina-chan]

Background and knowledge does not make for a good game alone, sadly ^^'
But if I know anything about your project, then that you're putting a lot of effort into research and building it, so there's that =)


On a current note:
I gotta say...it is quite diffrent to watch someone who knows a certain type of game play something then someone who doesn't knos the type of game to well...XD
*is having fun with a LP of an RPG Maker game she's currently watching* (A good game, for a change)

[Ahzoh]

Background and knowledge does not make for a good game alone, sadly ^^'

No, but it creates a skeleton for building a plot...

[yamina-chan]

Depending on how you work, yes or no.
Either way, it is something that should not be ignored.
