Is there anything in the game that would ruin Xenogears? I can't remember if it's been answered yet.

Well actually there are events from Xenogears that show up in saga, but nothing huge, it would just be beneficial to have finished gears before this.

at the point where i'm at it seems there are some characters and terms similar to XG but nothing directly linking the two . Just a lot of Dejavu, it seems as if Takahashi put things in intentionally, but sort of added some new elements to them.

BTW the game has me hooked..it's alot better than FFX IMO. Kos-mos is a badass.

Indeed

But don't forget Ziggy, he's a great character, seems real deep and is quite strong physically, and he's a mercenary so that always plays out well with me...I'm just not too fond of the name "Ziggy"

I don't know if I like it better than FFX yet, the story already has far out weighed FFX...but we'll just have to see, far too early to compare.

I'm not too fond of some of the character models, they look too plain and childish to me, and I'm not too fond of the whole space environment, I like my RPG's to take place in wooded areas, deserts, snow capped mountains, vast oceans...in other words on some sort of planet, so hopefully we'll be landing on one...other than that, I've gotten used to the battle system so far and the story is really lifting off...great game so far

Third of all, the story runs very deep and stands before me like an ominous storm I would almost be afraid to enter (if I were a wimp) It's like taking that first bite of a new favorite meal.
Shion isn't real? Do you mean Kos-Mos?

I think this game is much better then FFX so far but I really didn't like FFX outside of the sphere grid, LuLu and Blitzball. I've played Dark Cloud 2 for about 14 hours and I am no longer interested in playing it thanks to this game. The gnosis (check spelling) remind me of the bad creatures from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The battle system is great and the game is just hard enough where you can't just do the same move over and over until the battle is over. The cut scenes are great and you can skip them.

Thumbs up

alright then, xenocard has me hooked.

Best damn card game i've ever played in an rpg. I have about 15 hours logged into the game...and haven't even made it back to the bridge of the elsa, after checking the ships catapult w/ Shion.

Minigames
+++++++

A) Drill game = teh suxx0rz

B) Mech battle = ...still undecided. Kinda fun, i need to upgrade before trying again. Maybe it'll be better then.

I'm only speaking for myself (Probably some others too) but some people just need to get out more I admit it, and I am proud of it!

I need to get out mroe too. I finally saw the commercial for the game and my mind is unchanged, maybe they'll remake Xenogears. It's just a thought.

No, I meant Shion. Yes in the story she is a real person as opposed to Kos-Mos who is an android, but I meant that she is not a person in real life other than a character in a video game which is a shame cuz she's damn cute. Sorry about the confusion

Heh. Some times when you just get done playing a game for a while you actually think some of them are real

I have heard it said that Gears is about the fifth episode (of more than 5), and that it would be remade (well, given the current pace of the saga being released, games will be about 4 generations on from now, so It would make a fair bit of sense.). Thats probably just speculation unless the head guy actually did say it...

Xenogears resembles what the fifth episode of the Xenosaga will be about.

Spoiler: show
It will involve Deus and the two beings that first started life on the planet where Xenogears took place


However, it will not be a direct remake, as Xenogears was firstly done by Squaresoft and the rights belong to them.

i know exactly what you mean. In fact I assume that they and their respective universes created in the games they're in are all real most of the time except maybe once a month I pinch myself and realize "oh yeah..." Does this mean I spend too much time with videogames? No, it just means I am lucky to have a gifted imagination. IN fact, contrary to popular and soon to become former belief, gamers are some of the most imaginative people around, as games are certainly no longer about just zapping aliens and resemble the engrossing experience of an intense book or movie.

Mindless people with blank meaningless stares at a screen we are not!!! Oh how much of a joy it is to share this era with such great fellow gamers! Rejoice!
Oh yeah and Shion...*drool...*

Seriously, though...we are lucky to be gamers in these times

Wish I could say I have much of an imagination anymore, but I do play RPGs because they are imaginative.
