Cons: Nothing really. Disc 2 could've been a little better.
The Bottom Line: This game deserves 6, but 5 is the highest I can go. The story and music within the game changed my life in a way. I'm glad I played it.
gearmaster2005's Full Review: Xenogears for PlayStation 1
The moment I started this game, the anime cutscene dragged me in, showing me this dangerous situation happening on a ship in outer space. As the situation got worse and the captain had no choice but to blow the ship up with him in it, that's when it starts getting interesting, and having you wonder what was the cause of all this? Then there was the girl on the beach.....who is she???
Then Fei is introduced. The wedding of two of his closest friends is something he is looking forward too seeing. On the request of Timothy, he goes to see Alice. Talking with her, they imagined what it would be like if Fei knew Alice longer than Timothy.....
Alice asks that Fei go to the doc's place on the mountain and get camera equipment. He does so, and after the doc says he'd bring the stuff himself tomorrow and having some of his wife's delicious cooking, the village is attacked when Fei is on his way home! With doc's assistance, they go to check things out. Arriving, the village is on fire, people are running to safety, and giant robots are fighting in the middle of the village! The two of them split up to help the people in the village. When Fei goes his way, a giant robot (Gears) jumps in front of him. Looking up, he see's......'someone' inside, operating it. Then, without thinking, he climbs in. Somehow he can operate one....but how? After this......is when the story takes a big turn. As it goes on, it draws you in EVER SO MUCH! ^^ I recommend this game to ANYONE. If this shall be the first and ONLY RPG you ever play......this is something for you.
