Okay... I'm gonna ask you to drop the controller and step away with your hands straight in the air.

Slowly, now... Don't make me do anything I want to... Uh I mean don't want to do...

j/k

Yeah I know what you mean. Some games are setting standards of living and innovation. There are some games that people take a little too serious... *cough*EVERQUESTTTTT!!!!*cough* Not to be specific or anything.

Lightbulb ..Nephilim..

Spoiler: show
I was wondering were i had heard that before, in the game that little girl that looks like elly.. introduces herself as "nephilim".

They are basically half man/half angel.. they're supposed to be some in the new tomb raider game. Although they aren't going to look quite as friendly
.

BTW i started over from the beginning..i had 30 hours in the game too. Reason why i started over...

Spoiler: show
the robot parts... i visited the Professor when i only had 2 parts.

So there actually is....
Spoiler: show
A use for that robotic arm thing found on the Woglinde? I'm not as far as you guys yet though, just got "inside" the Cathedral Ship Gnosis. Are the other parts hard to come by?

I'm gonna start playing it, but my friend said it's official, to him the game sucks. It went from rocking, to having long cut scenes that turned him off, to just straight out sucking in his opinion.

I kind of agree with that... Cutscenes and cg's are cool and all, but when you only get like 2 minutes of game time in between cutscenes, that's just wrong.

Like on the ship when you're supposed to deliver the commander his plate of food... After a REALLY long cutscene, you deliver his food, then there's another long cutscene.

it took me forever to find that Cherenkov. I went around exploring every part of the elsa before i found him..if i remember i even got in a some xenocard games. The best thing about rpgs is, you can basically play the game at any pace. Rushing thru to the end or to meet each new objective has never been the case for myself. In my view that's just a waste.. i could see if i rented the game or something like that. However, for me with RPG's i take my time.

It's always good to explore in Xenosaga..some of those emails are triggered by certain locations.

lol You don't understand. There is no "soaking" in Xenogears. They might as well have made it a movie. You don't get to explore that much, you can run around and linger and hear people say the same stuff. The sad reality is that deep inside after about 10 hours into the game, you're afraid to complete a new objective because you know there's going to be flashbacks and cutscenes and cg's.

The one thing i hate about Xenogears is when they say "Like that incident..." WHAT INCIDENT! WHAT!? TELL ME!!! THIS IS THE FIRST EPISODE!!! THIS IS WHERE ALL THE INCIDENTS HAPPEN!!!

Get some popcorn and a drink to go with it. Trust me on this one. I've played every RPG since Final Fantasy 6 on SNES. This is the worst amount of dead time in an RPG I've ever experienced. Especially for a one-DVD game.

Here's a tip... When you get the chance, FIGHT... Fight til your thumb hurts... Fight until every monster on the map is dead and gone to afterlife, because for one, there's so many cutscenes you don't even realize a boss fight has started, and then you're too weak and too low on supplies to even tickle him with an attack, and for two, it's so rare to get items in this game you have to fight and hope that items come up from dead monsters.

yep. It's not hard at all to appreciate Xenosagas overall value.

Hero....geez...it's not that bad. Sure there are a lot of cutscenes but they are great. They are better then having to read for 10 minutes straight . There has only been one time where I wanted the cutscene to end and it wasn't that I was bored it was that I had to leave.

What boss fight did you find to be that difficult? The last one on the Woglinde was hard because nobody was that strong in your group. But that one was easy for me... As has every one after (I've died twice through out the whole game)

I find myself selling off a lot of items. At first you don't get a lot of items but once you get about 15 hours into the game you start to get enough items. Plus you get to go back and visit past areas to pick up important items you missed and to strengthen your characters. Maybe you have not played enough yet?

I like this game more then any Final Fantasy I have played with the exception of VII.

For Easy Money: Once you get the casino passport play poker at level 4 until you have about 40,000 coins. Exchange the coins for card starter sets and card packs until you can't carry any more. Trade those in and you can make a ton of gil.

Hey, did anyone get those investment opportunity e-mails in the game yet? My brother said he has made a shit load of money off them...but I haven't received jack. And just now after reading a FAQ, it seems that many of them started way back on the Woglinde.

i got one on the woglinde on the way to the awgs hangar, to pick up miyuki's m.w.s. she sent shion. It gave me 5 ether packs, and cut the price of all items at shops a little bit. The other one i did gave me some cash back and dropped the price of all awgs items. (too bad i had already spent alot of cash on weapons and upgrades before i got it).

I'm just sticking with the vector investments..or anything/anyone related to vector

i just now made it to the dock colony,The investments payed off again..they kicked me down a Dragon Skull for KOS-MOS.

It's the weapon she uses to shoot at the Gnosis Mother Ship, when she's standing on the escape pod right after the whole Woglinde event. It's a beam weapon..

Also the EVS for the U-TIC battleship has a crazy ass enemy on board. He's located in the room next to the one where JR's soilders were interogating that UTIC soilder for the card that opens up door 3. He just stands there when you walk in, you have to go up to him to fight. His AWGS is powerful wiped me up 3 straight times. I'm going to have to come back after leveling up some to beat him. Even my AWGS don't stand a chance against him.

I just got this game last nite. My mom bought it for me when she when to the states for a big ass shopping spree. I only have one problem with this game...
the starting of this game is just like Suikoden III, i thinks its alright but i get really confused and lost in the story, i also feel like the game doesnt live up to all the hype but... after awile of playing i Start to like it more and more til i cant stop playing. This is what happened to Suikoden III and now Xenosaga. Its not a big problem just some wierd "Phase" i go through when i play a good RPG. p.s Same thing happened to Everquest ,lol im f**ked up.

Looks like I'll get to enjoy this game much sooner than I thought. My younger brother got it and he's visiting this weekend. He's almost finished with the story part though he has no idea. Hopefully after he leaves this weekend he'll leave the game here for me and my other brother to check out.
