You too can play a depressive ineffective wimp, an affectless
blow-up doll, or a hot-tempered dysfunctional attention seeker, none
of whose actions can actually affect their world, just before the
destruction of all!

That does capture some of the spirit. Maybe add in a bit of "In
Nomine" to that mix.

Or cross it over with the same company's "Slayers" game, so that two
people can play Megumi's character...

Huh. I wonder if anyone'll ever do a Ranma or Inuyasha RPG.

Tho I'm not sure if I'm hopeful or dreading, because it's hard to imagine
it being any good or accurately representative, and we all know how anal
I am about that. ;p

running around naked, and combined them in one character. Sure-fire hit."
