It's a lot deeper and has similar elements from FF, but I feel it is targeted to an older age group. I won a copy of Xenosaga at work but I don't have a PS2 to play it on. Maybe I'll ask my friend if I can borrow his. I'm really hoping to get moved to working on Xenosaga Episode 2 after I'm done with my current game =) That would rule. I've never played a Xeno series game, but according to my friend it has a very deep and thorough storyline. There are many religious connotations (which I think is awesome, and a major reason why I loved watching Evangelion) and a lot of philosophical differences which lead to conflict. He says that each side in the conflict has a real believable goal, not like many video game villains where they just set out to do things just because they're evil. I think that sounds really interesting, although I also heard that the second half of Xenosaga Episode 1 (or was it Xenogears that I'm thinking of?) had a very scattered story and was pretty disappointing. | ||

Oh you have absolutely no clue at all... I thought like that, too. I thought FF7 and FF6 would remain my favorite RPGs of all time, until I played Xenogears. Geez... I'm dead serious when I say that half way through the game, you'll stare at the screen and say to yourself "Now WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!" Truely adds to the experience as everything is explained and comes together. Go to any XenoGears forum... you'll see a lot of "What the hell is goign on right now?" questions there, and all the responces say "play it through, AND THEN ask" because you can still be confused after game is over... It's like the Evangelion of games... it has religious referances and big robots and it still turns out confusing as hell as well as really great. And I cared a lot more about those characters than every FF (except for the 2 mentioned above)... also felt the love more in Xenogears than I did in FF8... and it wasn't even a game trying to be a love story. Only complaint about it is that because of budget cuts, their second disk is really rushed and isn't as good as disk one. A good example of this is: Instead of you actually going around and picking up everyone after the world goes to ruins in FF6, Celes sits in a chair and tells you about it with slideshow presentation behind her. Then, every 15 minutes, you'll do a boss battle, and then back to the slide show. If you don't have it, buy it! It used to be 70 bucks plus for a copy, but Square Enix has rereleased it in the greatest hits and is now only 20. Ebay Rocks! | ||

The voice acting on it is much better than on FFX and the villain is a maniac, just like Kefka! I heard from total XenoSaga fans who follow it like a cult, that because of what they game said, The current Episode 1 was supposed to be Episode 2. But they say that probably the game designers wanted to explain and go deeper into Episode 2 by making two games and just skipping Episode 1, and just making referances back to it. You can tell too, because NOTHING is concluded at the end of Episode 1... I have a billion questions still swarming, but I have to wait til Feb for the US release of XS-2. But I have to say, it was nowhere close to as deep as XG was, but I can't wait to see what they will do once it gets to Episode 5... which is what XG was. I heard they are thinking of maknig it into an anime, which would rule. I mean, there's a lot of times where you watch 45 minute cut scenes in XS-1, and I personally love them. So an anime would rule. | ||

I find that all the RPG experts and lovers tend to hate FF8, and say it is utter shizzle, but i liked the characters, selphie was so cute and rinoa so sweet and i loved squall being so stubborn and softening thoughout the story. I simply cannot call it a bad game. From what i hear here, xeno would not be the best for me. I don't like confusion much. The whole story with cloud not remembering things from the past was one the things i least liked about FF7. | ||

I suggested that she sound more like Rei Ayanami from Eva - really deadpan and mysterious. That would be a major improvement =) | ||
