| Bump for content cuz I paid for the game cuz I'm playing cuz I'm a mod haha. I went and bought Xenosaga II for 53.99 today on top of a DDR session over at the mall today (I kicked some ass on 8s, Holic Heavy for one, anyways...) and I just got done playing tonight. Know why? After 9 hours I was done with Disc 1. What...the fuck? It's a two-disc set. Which makes me wonder if I'm -really- at the halfway point now. Sadly, I may have battled 30 or 40 times during that time...the rest was BRILLIANT BRILLIANT engaging storyline and tie-ups that I've wanted to see and some other stuff that makes me want to -read- into it more. Not necessarily play. By the way, if you're new to the series...sucks to be you. More than likely you'll be lost, but they do flash back every so often...but it's pretty much imperative that you play the first for fear that you will be lost in a tidal wave of a story. I found myself SEVERAL times trying to remember what it was all about and who certain characters were and what their place in the storyline meant. It's almost a shame my episode 1 disc is busted. Almost. The battle system in itself is a double-edged sword. By itself it can be a bitch to get used to and it can make some harsh battles, but if you milk it for all it's worth and get the luck you're looking for, your battles will fly. I've had anywhere from a range of 11 minutes in one battle to 42 seconds killing the same exact thing with little difference in level. It is that messed up with it's luck. The battle loads are awful. Not HORRIBLE. Awful. The battles usually take upwards of 10 to 15 seconds to load and most times it's just waiting to get your ass ambushed by the enemies. I was pretty sure one of the bad situations I'd get into I'd end up being killed after waiting and get a Game Over screen but that didn't ever happen. :\ And as for gameplay? Think 6 hours story and 3 hours battle and you've got disc 1. Most of it was forced anyways. I tried to go out of my way for completist purposes and it's still not that great in the overall aspect. Now, to my understanding, this is side-quest prone. And very so. But I've yet to be able to do a lot...which really makes me wonder if 9 hours is really the halfway point of a game that with the last installment took me 40 hours plus to beat and I wasn't even complete. Oh and your complete data for episode 1 does go somewhere. I won't go into details...but fans of KOS-MOS will like it.

9 hours and you are done with disc 1  seems like there is no point in leveling up then... because i've spent about 9 hours and I'm no farther than when I control shion for the first time... |
