I hate this game. Waste of money. I can't believe NAMCO would put out such a horrible game. Probably the worst RPG ever!!! What is up with the ...robots in the battle out of no where? And the bunny? Stupid. The plot line was horrible, and the game took way to long. I felt like killing myself. The characters reminded me of drugged-up hippies. Done. Remember kids, play poke the bunny
Wow!!!

I just started playing this game, so I can't write a great review on it. What I can tell you is that there is a good reason why just starting might end up being the only thing I do in this game.
First off the game has some faults to begin with, the graphics are a bit dull if you ask me. The characters are kind of on the blockish side, they walk around as if they have spoons up their behinds. This might pass on the PSX but it's not acceptable on a console like the PS2. The characters and visuals seem pretty stale when compared to the sheer romantic artistry and beauty that goes beyond explanation of Final Fantasy X, but of course what doesn't. That's why Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy and Xenosaga is... well Xenosaga.
The Xenosaga plot seems pretty interesting so far, but again this is an RPG and interesting might not be enough. When I first started Final Fantasy X, I will admit I wasn't too trilled but then something happened. I can't pin point the exact moment but it was pretty early in the game when it just grabbed me and never let go. Can't say the same for FFX-2 however. Moving on, I have a feeling Xenosaga has a super great plot, but unfortunately I may not get to experience it because the gameplay has one huge flaw that I don't think I can handle.
I was interested in Xenosage because it was supposed to be an epic RPG. I play RPG's for the involvement in an epic storyline, I don't play RPG's for gameplay. I feel sorry for anyone who plays RPG's for the menu selections, if you want gameplay there are better genres out there. I always scratch my head when people complain about too many cutscenes in an RPG or that the game doesn't have enough exploration. If you want gameplay and exploration go play something else. That's the problem with Xenosaga, it's not just an RPG it's also an adventure platformer and not a very good one at that. The platformer part of Xenosaga is suppose to be the second hand focus of the game and the quality of it shows that, but there seems to be too much of it. There are too many enemies to be avoided by actually using your skill with the controller. There are too many keys to find, too many doors to unlock, and all sorts of rooms that will get you lost. It's not like it's there just incase you want to look around. Nope, you find out you need to go somewhere but the map doesn't show you where, you have to search for it yourself. This is just not what I look for in an RPG. If this doesn't change in Xenosaga soon, I'm afraid I'll have to can it.
Buy xenosaga buy it buy it buy it buy it NOOOW!

Xenosaga looks like a rpg that may actually be able to compare to Final Fantasy X. Any Rpg nut like myself, probably already pre-ordered it but if not do it now! Everything about the game looks amazing if you don't believe me go to gamespot or ign then you'll now how amazing it is. Now stop reading the and go to ... The game's battle system is turn based. The battles have awsome speacial effects. The garphics are amazing. The game takes about 80 hours to be.
Quite possibly the worst game i have ever played.

... because I haven't played the game yet. But I have a point of criticism for Square, who I am in an extreme love-hate relationship with. As far as the criticism of a scene being altered to remove a suggested sexual relationship, if I am not mistaken, that is what the Rating System for Games (and especially the M rating) was for originally. The fact that they have done this, just to "sell more games" (cause thats obviously what it is about!) makes me INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLY MAD.

I bought this game due to how much hype was behind it's origin, Xenogears, and due to the advertised hours of gameplay and great story. I was extremely wrong.
The game has terrible play with a very dull, very long story. It takes around 10 hours just to get INTO the game, and to be able to actually DO anything. Some may say just to buy it to see a great "movie-game", but it would not even qualify for that. The "cutescenes" are non-cinematic and are much too long to keep your interest.
The only thing GOOD I would say about the game is the fact that it keeps stupid gamers busy playing it while the more sophisticated, real gamers are talking about (and playing) the REAL games.
So so

Well this game has a great story and battle sequence. You can get lost easily. Once your on the right track it becomes very enjoyable. This is one of the best RPG games I have ever played. It is also very cheap to buy.
It was pretty good

I rented this game and to addmitt it it didnt sound that great from the back but i said okay lets try it. I did and it turned out to be pretty good. I really likes the great graphics and the plot. To be honest I even like the long video things (but then again when dont I) I really liked this game even though i didnt complete it , well it was fun to where i got to! if u dont mind watch movies in games and u like somewhat weird plots this is for u!
