This game is insanely story heavy, like there are 2 hour segments of text with no save points. That would be a huge problem except the story is excellent. The game is gorgeous sprite work with some polygon garbage from that time mixed in. This games main problem is it was too ambitious. They ran out of money before they could finish so disc 2 is pretty much just the story told in still photos and a final dungeon. So you still get the full idea, but you don't really play it. XG is part 5 of the Perfect Works Saga. I had hopes that Xenosaga was going to be part 1, and it could have been but then they abandoned that so we never see parts 1 to 4 or part 6. Just exists in literature. Xenogears should have been like an 8 disc game had they been able to do everything they wanted to do. Anyway, the actual game has cool combo based combat when you are not in a mech, and then a bad fuel based stamina system when you are in a mech. Luckily mech combat is not too often. The character based combat is way more fun. The cast is outstanding and offers a huge range of perspectives on a large holy war. This game also has a sex scene which in 1998 was not common practice on console games. Citan is my favorite character in this game. Id is second. Grahf also cool. Basically every character is great except Chuchu. A giant pink thing that seems to plague Square RPGs. Like Cait Sith. OST features so true gems. The game is very heavy on religion. Most areas are named after Jewish holy days. Story of the haves, the have nots, and the super haves that no one even knows exist. Also big on Freud. There are two dungeons in this game notorious for being awful. The sewers near the beginning, and the tower of Babil which is a platforming hell. Miss a jump and start over. --- I am Nick.
