CptLvl I do agree the story was beyond basic. But I found it that it did it was meant to do. Still that doesn’t mean it was great. But the gameplay. That is by far the best thing these games have to offer.

[@neuro1073]

My first ever experience with z.o.e was when I was checking out my uncles old PlayStation games. He had this gigantic box that held all his games like silent hill and mgs. And I just randomly selected zone of the Enders 2 out of all of them. I completed my play through of the game about a year ago. I was also playing mgs3 alongside my play through of the second runner. Both those games are something I will never forget. The amount of joy and fun I had while playing those games is something I just can’t put into words personally. Most games today are just following what’s trending when they are developed and are just the exact same every year having no originality or care put into them. I wish Konami would just go back to what it used to be...

Hey there, new ZOE, so, what's a Runner? And why are they called that?

[@kimmyhtran]

@@stephenbyrne2170 Runner is another way of saying Pilot or more accurately an "Operator". Considering this takes more steps than just moving controls around. You would be considered a runner like an active operator "running" a program. Since the Orbital Frame (Jehuty) uses an artificial intelligence to make the mech function properly that means you would need to know how technology works.

[@shadow7988]

I was always puzzled by that. Chalk it up to post-2000's anime being nothing but waifu merchandising. None of that crap she was doing had anything to do with the plot in the game itself. No naked spinning, no magic orbs, nothing. She herself had a very small part in the story outside of being an obligatory forced love interest. You coulda pretty much removed her entirely and replaced her with a generic soldier and nothing in the story would have changed for worse.

[@brandonclemson3301]

not true that is not just a post 2000 anime thing they did that in the 90s and even the 80s i mean sure the whole waifu thing is more of a 2000s thing but its not like the concept/idea of waifus did not exist in the 90s and even 80s and in some cases even abit in the mid to late 70s i mean lum you could say was the first character that could be considered a waifu shes the og waifu and she was created by a girl in fact the same creator also created ranma 1/2 which was like the first harem romcom anime so i rest my case...

[@ukokira9852]

Shadow7988 After replaying ZOE 2 I don't think she was a forced love interest, since there wasn't any forced love in the first place, the most it got was genuine camaraderie.

[@thefearofg0ds758]

[@zeropointfusion7679]

So, I had the pleasure of playing through the HD Collection of Z.O.E. several months ago. Absolutely loved it, but could see how other games outshone the release of the original titles. Between the first and second games, I think I preferred the way the second one played over the first. Furthermore, I think the 2D cutscenes were better made than the 3D cutscenes in the first game. I appreciate the overall story in both games, but I have to agree with others that the dialogue is laughably terrible. If there were ever plans to continue this series in the future, I think I would like to see a total remake of them first that would give the story and dialogue justice. Once the quality of the story is elevated, and assuming that the games are properly promoted and advertised at big events, then I would entertain the idea of a third game. However, if indeed there ever were to be a remake, and the story and dialogue were properly done, then it may be best to leave it as a duology. Given how the second game ends, I'm not sure how much further they could expand upon the idea.
