Pros: Graphics and ending

...

Pros: A deep story and great gameplay
Cons: I would have liked you to fight out of your "Gear" more often...

I am an avid RPG fan, so therefore I play them all. Since that is the case, it is hard for me to like some. Few stand out to me these days since I have so much to compare them to. I played Xenogears on a demo disc and was immediately caught up in it. I...

Pros: Great story, great musical score
Cons: Horrible graphics up close

Xenogears is one of those games that most people haven't heard of or played (which is a shame) but is one of the greatest console RPGs (role playing games) there is. From it's detailed, surprising, intriguing story line, to it's beautiful musical score,...

Pros: outstanding story line, emotion-stirring music, versatile and unique battle system, unpredictable characters
Cons: 2nd disk rush, a lot of talk-talk-talk

You are Fie, living peacefully in a town that was destined to destruction, with no knowledge of your mysterious past. Not until an ancient fighting machine was fated to obey your commands. Now, you are the subject of a manhunt by royal pirates, spies,...

Pros: Compelling story, awesome original anime clips, great gameplay, anime style mecha and characters
Cons: none

For all of you that know Square, you know they make the greatest Roleplaying games on the planet including the Final Fantasy Series and Chrono Trigger. This game is right up there with a great deep story line. You play the role of Fei, an artist who...

Pros: Giant robots! Learnable combos! Neato mini fighting game!
Cons: Gigantic pixels and frustrating sewer level

I was bored once and wanted a new game. Funcoland is usually good for that, but I use EB now. So I go to Funcoland, see a cover with a mech-type robot in its background, buy a game, and get out of there.
Xenogears was the game, and I had a lot of...

Pros: EVERY THING, except listed in cons
Cons: Too little of Anime & CG scenes

Xenogears is a colaboration of years of hardwork. And owning this game has never been such cool. This game is simply awesome! This is a great game for beginner & professional alike. One of the best things that drew me to buy it is the hype about it...

Pros: great story, graphics and music
Cons: LONG game, linear game play

Xenogears is a role playing game set in a world where the medieval meets the neo-technological. The story line is incredibly large and just as complex, with enough twists and surprises to keep you hooked. The story begins set in a kingdom at war with...

Pros: compelling story, great music
Cons: second disc a little slow

When first playing or should I say seeing this game I actually sensed a classic. Xenogears in one word is summed up as dramatic. This is not your average rpg and definitely only for those who have a high intellect.

To start, you play as a man...

Pros: Original Battle System Terrific Cut Scenes Strong Characters
Cons: Weird 360 view Poor Translation Dialogue

During the early year of 1997, anticipation was running high due to the long awaited arrival of Final Fantasy VII to the Playstation. Squaresoft (the same company to develope FFVII and Xenogears) decided to break the ice with a attempt to hook those...

Pros: Deep, involving story. Amazing Character development.
Cons: Less patient players may get bored

Plot: The plot of Xenogears is rivaled by no other. Things start out innocently enough--Fei is a happy young man who likes painting. The day before the wedding of two of his best friends, Alice and Tim, Alice asks Fei to visit 'the Doc' and borrow...

Pros: New RPG style 3D graphics
Cons: Boring storyline

I don't know what it is, but ever since FFVII and FFVIII all the RPG's I've played have seemed to stink. I end up comparing them to the FFs and I see that there is two different levels of RPGs: Final Fantasy and everything else.

My friend...

Pros: Great plot, fun to play, long, good challenge
Cons: rips off from alot of animes, bad dubbing

The requirements of a great RPG (in my opinion) are as follows:
1. Fun to play
2. Good plot
3. A decent challenge
4. Interesting visuals

Xenogears has all of these, plus the game is over 60 hours. The plot is probably the...

Pros: Great Storyline and Robots
Cons: Clipping during robot fights

I felt Xenogears didn't recieve the acclaim that it should have gotten. Considering it was one of the best Squre games made. I felt people were trying to put next the Final Fantasy(FF) series since the same company created both games. But its unique...

Pros: It is a square game, and the world is very rich & complex.
Cons: Combat's boring, the story drags forever, etc....

I've enjoyed numerous Square Playstation RPGs. However, this one almost
is a bear to finish. Playing it now as I'm 75% through the second disk, has the feel that I'm finishing it just to be done with the game.

I've never played a...
