| The "1st" installment of Xenosaga pissed me off a bit, as it took forever to beat and it was a bit hard to figure out (even after months of platying it). But, even though it was the slowest RPG that I took to beat it (almost six months), I am planning on getting Xenosaga II, which comes out in a few weeks. They've upgraded the game play, the characters look more life-like, and the length of cut scenes have gone down. Now, tomrrow, we're getting at the store a DVD that is four hours long (that just shows you how long the cut scenes were in the last installment) with all the cut scenes from the first Xenosaga. I'm actually off, but I really want to head over there to pick it up.  It'll hold me off until the actual game comes out.  Xenosaga II website. |

It took you six months?  It took me two weeks. It wasn't hard at all. I was expecting something length like Xenogears (which is supposedly episode 5 if I read correctly; I'm not really sure if their related, but the fight system sure is).If I have the cash, I'll definitely get a hold of it. I liked it, even if the large majority of it was laced with storyline, at least the VAs got a workout. |

| Like I said, usually I can pass RPGs in no time, but this one was different. Either I got bored, found another game to play, or just wanted to take my time with it in general. They're thinking about remaking the 5th one (Xengears) as long as the second one and so forth make enough money to do so. You'll see that one of the main chars from Gears is in part II, who is Sion's older brother. |

| I was pretty sure that Xenogears was the 8th part of the series, each of the Xenosaga games leading up to it ... I guess 5th would be better, since 8 games leading up to an PSX game could take forever. I'd also recommend checking out the newest trailers from this game at Gametrailers.com The music seems outstanding, and by the trailers this game looks a lot more dramatic than the first. I'm still not sure why they completely changed KOS-MOS's look (other than some magazine that I read saying the creators wanted the characters to look more "realistic" she seemed fine to me). The first one pissed me off a bit too. The gameplay was horribly lacking, the battle system was ... probably one of the most boring battle systems I've ever played. But other than that I really enjoyed the game, I even spent a few hours playing the card game alone. Who here's going to pre-order this game? From what I heard if you pre-order it, you'll get a bonus disc with 4 hours of cutscenes from the first. (And just a note, that's only about half of the total cutscenes.) The cutscenes in the first honestly didn't bother me a bit, sure it almost felt like I was watching an anime at times ... but who's to say that's a bad thing? All I'm worried about is the gameplay in the next one, which so far looks better. Not to mention the introduction to Jin (Katana weilding guy). The thing is I've heard this game isn't selling too well in Japan, then again the Japanese gaming market hasn't been the best in the last couple of years. I'm still looking forward too it and wouldn't be surprised if it's the best RPG this year. (Next with Jade Empire of course, which got delayed.  ) |

| I think it'll be a total of three hours of cut scenes now, maybe two for the second Xenosaga. Just picked up the DVD from work and I plan to watch it shortly.  Anya is teh happy.Also, with the battle system, if you have certain party memebers while in battle (like Shion and Jin) they'll do a duel (double) tech and it'll cause much more damage than just a normal attack. |

heh..interesting... I've already pre-ordered this game back in November. I saw the Japanese trailer for it and I was like  Yeah, the new look of the characters surprised me. I hope this is as enjoyable as the first oneIt took me 8 months to beat the game (i finished it in 81 hours) |

| Well according to the Gamepro and EGM reviews, they're hinting that it's "lacking" compared to the original Xenosaga "overall". From what I've read, again they complained about the length of the cutscenes, which have been cut down from the first, but I guess there was still too much for some reviewers out there. And they also mentioned that this game is incredibly shorter, and would probably only take about 20 hours to beat. ... All in all, I don't care. It looks too good to miss out on regardless if it's a shorter RPG. |

| I see. But I really hope they do remake the original Xenogears. Either way someday I'll probably buy Xenogears off of squareenix.com considering it's only $20, I've only heard great things about the game. If they really pull this off rightfully, this could be the best RPG series out there. (edited by Xeogred on 01-30-05 08:09 PM) (edited by Xeogred on 01-30-05 08:09 PM) |

| Xenogears will be made, only if the sales keep going as good as they are. We had Gears at the store, but I didn't buy it....I should have, its sold out now. Oh well, I can wait...what...7+ years for the fifth installment to be re-made?  |

| well, i think it will keep on going in Japan. The states is a different story. The video game market here is way different than it is in Japan. Remember, before the PSX, only three final fantasy games made it to the states. | |||

Originally posted by neotransotaku Yeah, maybe I'm wrong, but we over at the States don't seem to be missing out on "too" many games compared to what we used to. Hell, there were Fire Emblem games for the SNES, did we get those? I think not.  (edited by Xeogred on 01-31-05 10:41 PM) |

Originally posted by Anya It's actually five hours of total cutscenes, not three. It looks very enticing, especially with the newly designed giant robots that look very cool in comparison to the AGWS. Hopefully I can buy this and understand it, not having played the first one. |

| Went by work to get the game. Played the opening scene (music is amazing) but that's about it. I want to at least finish KOTOR2 on light side before I start to play Xeno 2. | |||

| Started to play the game--off to a slow start (a lot of new delvelopments early on). I really don't like the map that much (i think the camera needs to be higher..) controls are about the same. The new tech system is interesting but seems complicated. All in all, I'm satisfied. I'll just have to see how the game goes since Xenosaga 1 started off the same way and got better as I continued to play it some more |
