Crossovers That Should Not Be 23: Hail Discordant Ideas!

[classicdrogn]

Eh, if the game itself is fun to play, the plot can be as cliche or incoherent as the designers want, as far as I'm concerned. The popularity of KH and Final Fantasy series games in general tells me that sentiment is common enough in the CRPG gaming community. Pity it didn't kick in for Xenosaga, but to be fair Xenosaga I's gameplay was kind of weird even if I personally found it fun, and II's was even more unusual and could be actively annoying if you didn't grok the defense-breaking mechanic or get hooked on the characters by the first game to carry you past it.

Back to the thread topic, though, how about crossing Wankire: the Pretense grade supernatural shenanigans with spy thrillers?

* The Wyld Hunt for Red October
* Rainbow 666
* No Time for Undeath
* Daywalker of the Cheetah
* The Camarillas' President

I'm sure many more horrid examples could be dug up.

Especially if I had read anything from either genre more recently than the turn of the century...
