XORN! (Grandia III) vs CHRONO CROSS PLOT!!! (Chrono Cross) - Because if I squint, I can at least take parts of CC plot without exploding in derisive laughter. I can't the say the same for anything about Xorn.

[Pyro]

Drama

Style

Joachim/Ana spying on Yuri/Karin (Shadow Hearts 2) vs Lily Character Quest 3  (Mana Khemia 2): Oh Lily. You are so unbalanced. The first one is kind of amusing but the overall scene... is too dramatic for this. Although the Unfortunate Implications of what Ana wants borders on horrifying.

Battle of DL Memes
XORN! (Grandia III) vs CHRONO CROSS PLOT!!! (Chrono Cross):

XORN is, at this point, an insurmountable part of the DL psyche.
God damn it we suck.
