[General Discussion] Do you like Crossdressing?

Hmm... I'm thinking of crossovers as more significant than just cameos and references. The most obvious choice for a crossover is a fighting game (much like Marvel vs. Capcom and such) or Beat 'em ups (Battletoads & Double Dragon). The other one I've seen much of are RPGs along the lines of Chaos Wars and X-Edge whenever the latter comes out. As for whether or not I like those, that depends on if I played the source material or not or if the game is good. Only one has to be good, and if they're both good, then all the better for me. The game should be crafted around the fact that there are characters from other universes present, and not just dropping them haphazardly into an existing one.

Dropping Final Fantasy characters into Kingdom Hearts is not a crossover (since the universe is still heavily Disney. If they visited some Final Fantasy landmarks, then it would. Haven't played the second one yet, so I'm not sure if that ever happens.) Cloud appearing in Final Fantasy Tactics would also not be considered a crossover (along with Luso and Balthier if you're playing War of the Lions), since you're still in the original Ivalice and not some weird hybrid of the three.

From my perspective, the game has to be made to accommodate all the characters, either by mixing in a bit of everything from their source games, or by crafting an entirely new world to throw them in.

That being said, I enjoy crossovers. They're interesting to play (even moreso if you know the sources). Even if they aren't very well done gameplay-wise, knowing the sources will get you some amount of satisfaction.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
