*sigh*
I know my first topic hasn't been resolved, and I might be asking a question already asked before, but is it possible to have sort of parallel stories in a game? By this, I mean like reaching a specific part of the game, then switching from one side of the story to the other.
e.g. When the cast of Final Fantasy 6 split up early in the game and you play three different parts of the story focusing on different characters, who eventually all run in to each other. Or like in Final Fantasy 9, where at certain points of the game, primarily in the first two disks, you'd take control of different characters in different areas of the game.
I hope that made sense. :-/
