For various reasons, mostly due to lack of time or hitting a place where I’ll have to spend several hours leveling up, I have not finished several of the RPGs I own. Other times, I have beat them, but it’s been so long since I started that I forgot most of the plot but don’t want to restart the entire game to remember what all was going on. Or the game is just so freaking long I forgot about clues and info in the beginning. So, are there any good websites out there with plot summaries and perhaps some analysis as well? Some examples of my bad memory:
I was playing Radical Dreamers and realized I couldn’t remember much, if any, of the plot of Chrono Cross, plus I’m still not sure I understood all of it. I can’t remember the whole thing with Cloud and Sephy and Jenova in FFVII, and I’m not sure I ever understood it all in the first place. I’m completely baffled as to what I did in FFVI, though I did beat it, and all I remember is that Terra and Kefka have some pretty good themes. Between the Junction system, the non-skippable FMV, and some really bad gameplay (card game, I’m looking at you), I still have no idea what the heck was going on in FFVIII and I quit after the second disc. I never beat FFV, as I’m stuck in a place near the end where I’ll have to do a ton of leveling up and at this point I don’t remember the story anyway. I remember what I had to do in Terranigma, but I don’t remember why, and I’m stuck on the last boss. I still pretty much remember the plot in FFX, but same problem with the need to spend hours leveling or playing blitzball, so I’m somewhere near the end. I can’t remember the point of Orphen, even though I beat it, after sitting through those interminable non-skippable cut scenes. I got sick of the dating in Thousand Arms and at this point would have to restart everything, as I’m somewhere in the middle with no clue of what’s goint on.
Heck, it seems like the only RPG plots I can remember are Chrono Trigger and the various NWN games. The funny thing about this is that I used to–and still can, in some instances–remember plots of entire books, including lengthy sections where I could give you the writing practically verbatim. So, as I’ve asked, are there any good sources for this sort of thing?
