the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism (space)

Pretty much any game in which you planet hop? Ratchet and Clank, KOTOR?

  • Yoshi’s Island, in that one boss.
  • Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, although given how prominent Peach’s story is, there’s arguably too much space for it to count.
  • The Longest Journey

From what I remember, Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Trainer let you get into space a bit if you just flew up as high as you could. This was a neat thing to find as a kid.

I should clarify - I mean “go to space” not in the sense of space-as-travel but a portion of the game set in space.

no-one lives forever has a space station segment
there’s also a space level in tiny toons buster busts loose but i think it’s actually meant to be an elaborate movie set recreation of outer space instead of the real thing…?

Star Ocean… all 5.

R-TYPE Final… yeah, that’s kinda on the border, but you start out on earth and you only get to space after stage 3.

In spectacular fashion, Einhander.

Katamari does that also remarkably well.

… uh, Trosh the Game

Gundasty Warriors… kinda cheating again, stop!

originally i had just typed GOI with jokey spoilers and then i thought of the others so that made it a bit awkward. but i think most people who’ve heard of FF at this point know it’s a “more than meets the eye” deal and i remember that being one of the first things that happens, so…
