So, is anyone into Xenogears? It's a great game for those of you who are tired of predictable shounen-based plots with the same cliché'd characters with no depth. It's also the best game ever made. And Lucca's in it.
I'm sure you all knew that already, I just felt like talking about Xenogears a little. (Which is the best game ever made.)

I did not know Lucca was in Xenogears. I'm just starting my first play through on Xenogears so I'll have to keep my eyes open for that.

Yeah, she explains save points in the starting village. Keep your eyes open.

I haven't even made it that far. I just loaded the game decided it looked like crap on the xbox emulator and turned it off after the first cutscene and planned to play it later on the actual ps after I locate the damn thing.

It probably won't look much better. Despite the graphics, I'll have to agree that it is one of the greatest games ever made. Definitely the greatest intricate RPG story ever made. Seconded only by Chrono Cross in my opinion.

And here's something that I'll probably get royally made fun of for but:

I actually liked Xenosaga 3 as much as if not a tiny bit more than Xenogears.

It's not that. I seem to remember the game being less blurry and low res. It seems like I'm playing the game on like lower than 800x600 resolution on PCSXbox.

[chrono eric]

Well, that's a bummer alright. But it's not like it will be a dramatic improvement. It might be worth it though if the blurriness is particularly annoying to you.

Xenogears is fantastic, and I recommend it without hesitation to any fan of RPGs.

[HyperNerd]

I've heard of it... What system? I may buy it with Amazon...

[chrono eric]

PSX.

Xenogears is on my long list of RPGs I have to finish somewhere... Currently working on Persona 3 FES.

Actually, that's not the first time I've seen a Xenogears fan say that. I've never played Xenosaga mainly due to lack of time, but the more I read Xenogears fans' opinions about the third game, the more I want to play it.

It's a shame Masato Kato didn't work on the series, though.

Xenogears was an awesome game -- one of my favorites... [spoiler] it's just a shame that the second disc was rushed so badly at the end of production...

It should be noted, throughout the game, the number of deathblows learned and the game's difficulty is greatly, inversely proportional. So take that into consideration before spamming through and trying to get all of the deathblows. [/spoiler]
