EGM xenosaga review

https://www.angelfire.com/gundam/xenosaga0

i'm still going to get it. 2 8's are good scores not that i care what they think. although it's still good to have a sense of what to expect.

They seem to have judged the game quite fairly (if not a bit mixed), and I didn't really expect the game to get much of a high score anyway. However, since the story is constantly described as perplexed and philosophical like Xenogears, then this game is as good as mine.

So, is this game like a prequel? Regardless, I'd get it to add to my collection of RPGs I've played.

what does everyone know about this game?

here's what i have learned so far..

1) it's a prequel to Xenogears, it's one of 6 games..or was it 4

2) as far as gameplay..well there's NO music in the dungeons and other areas...it going to be odd at first but i think i'll get use to it after a few hours.

What do you mean by no music? I'm pretty sure you probably mean no music in those places at all.

There's no dungeon music from what i've heard..just really good soundfx makes it feel more realistic. Some areas of the dungeon do have music though like when a major battle occurs.

No music...that sounds cool

Yes 6 Chapters...Xenogears was 5 I believe

This story is going to be massive...over 40% of the game is cut scenes so a good portion of it will be like watching a movie...which doesn't bother me because when you got a good story, it makes it all worth while.

does this mean a xenogears remake if that was part 5 .... that would be crazy..Squaresoft owns the rights to that game don't they..? How would Namco be able to publish the 5th chapter...

Are they going to skip 5 and go straight to 6 ?.. i seriously hope not, that would be very lame if they did that..

I was wondering the same thing not too long ago...because when 4 is finished which won't be for about a decade, the generation of teens then probably wouldn't have played xenogears seeing as its quite rare now...so who knows...if they did remake it...dear lord...

there's 3 reasons why i'll be passing this one by..for the time being

1) I've learned that it's not directly related to xenogears.
2) i can't be bothered with another episodic series. I've already made a commetment to the new tomb raider games coming out.
3) Tenchu 3

Xenosaga looks so cool. But it looks like one of those games where you really gotta pay attention. Im not that good at paying attention. I'll rent it and see if I like it.
