Say what you will. whether true or not this is the spiritual successor to one of ps1's best all time rpg's.
Not exactly the game i remember from ps1's heyday. Now that said....the story is excellent. the characters are compelling, the combat is solid, and the battle system is surprisingly well-designed. Additionally Xeno1 came with a minigame ((xenocard)) that i still play four years later. this could very well be a stand alone game in itself, and it was a tragedy that it was omitted from the 2nd installment.
Xenosaga is a love it or hate it game...period. I want this game to be a classic soo bad, it makes it at least great for me.
will you love it or hate it? either way you owe it to yourself to play it.
