I just want to say Soulzar this is a great idea for a forum topic, and you deserve a prop for it.
What is so special about Xenogears? Before I say anything about what I think this game is so special. I respect the fact that this is one of those games that you either love or hate. I know for a fact that Megavolt is not a big fan of this game and I respect him for it. I'm happy to say that when I first experienced this game I experienced it before the hype/fan base of this game even existed. In terms of my impressions of the game. I just found that I got sucked into the world so easily. I was so impressed by the opening movie and the music in this game remains to me some of the most beautiful video game music I've ever heard. I found it amazing that unexpected tragedy took place so early in the game. When I had first played this game for the first time. I had a hard time trying to figure out what was going to happen next, because I felt that the game had a lot of unexpected twists. I enjoyed a lot of the characters in the story. Sure there were a few characters I didn't really like but I guess it comes with any rpg that you play. I felt each character was portrayed equally except when it came to the main character. I did not find the game very easy to go through. I thought that some of the battles were indeed challenging and required a significant amount of strategy. I know there were at least 6 boss fights that I really had to think about and put some serious strategy in terms of fighting them. I didn't really hate the second disc as much as everybody else. Even though the majority of the second was mostly story and there were periods of time as long as 30 minutes in which you didn't have control of your character. It didn't really bother me since I have a lot of patience when it comes to things like that. I only real gripe I had with the game was the dubbing for the final animation scenes in the game. It was so horrible, that it literally was really painful to listen and not even see the words sync up with the mouths of the characters. It was minor and didn't really influence my overall impressions of the game. Even the ending song Small Two Of Pieces - Restored Pieces is still my favorite ending song of any video game. To me the incredible music and a deep storyline is what made this game truly great in my eyes. The fact that you could use mechs and it had a very solid battle system was just the icing on the cake in terms of playing this game. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |
