Do you ever just want to play Xenogears? Not a joke thread

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Aug 10, 2020 6:13 pm

Following the other threads with similar titles about games with Yasunori Mitsuda soundtracks, hey Xenogears is pretty good maybe!

Things I like about Xenogears:
- The soundtrack
- Fei is in it
- Those funny 2D/3D graphics
- That robot arena that is like a whole other game
- The plot might be kinda interesting? I forget, maybe it’s just nonsense
- I think the battle system was kinda neat?
- Emo

Things I don’t like about Xenogears:
- The translation is... quite... um...
- It’s sorta long I think? I mean what am I a teenager
- Shaun never gave my copy back to me
- The second disc is... um... sort of...

I haven't played Xenogears since probably 2002. You need to get it for me on my Blood Hicks Canadian PS3 account

I have it on my Vita. It doesn’t see my memory card tho

I’d need a second memory card to play it on vita because you can’t mix games from different region accounts.

Mitsuda is the GOAT Square composer.

Xenogears is a very good game but I've already played all the way through more than once and I don't see myself doing it again particularly in light of all the games ony backlog.

Got to second disc.

...

other things seemed more appealing.

This was my play experience. It was quite good up to a point, though!

I do remember getting to the 2nd disc was close to dawn. So I must have been quite engrossed.

I don’t think I bothered finishing it either. Was there a section with like an hour of text followed by a boss fight and you have to go through the hour again if you don’t beat the boss? It’s things like that that stop me.

yes i went through that once.

End feeling was... "fuck me?!?!? No no no... fuck yoooooouuuuuu"

Exunt

I was thinking about how i wanted to play it again the other day but I don't want to do Tower of Babel or the sewers ever again. The soundtrack is amazing.

The creators are still doing amazing stuff - Xenoblade.

People here refuse to play it

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 3:39 pm

I’m waiting for a sale

Xenoblade? Yeah, because it's bad.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 8:46 pm

I wonder what’s worse persona 5 or xenoblade?

I haven’t played xenoblade so I can’t judge. Therefore the default loser is persona 5

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Aug 16, 2020 5:22 am

I don't believe you've actually played Persona 5 either.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Aug 16, 2020 11:32 am

I booted it once. So it counts.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 9:11 am

This thread makes me not want to play Xenogears.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:38 pm

Yeah the disc 2 discussion is a bit... um...

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 4:13 pm

I just remembered Chu Chu is an actual character in that game.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 5:36 pm

Oh right that’s not Chrono Cross

Xenoblade 3 is the best Xenogame

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Sep 19, 2022 4:06 pm

I don’t want to play any Xenogame!!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Sep 19, 2022 10:16 pm

Do you never just want to play a Xenogame?

*Worker bot punts your gear across the screen* Worker bot wins!

I can't remember what that particular one was called but I do recall that the lowly service gear was essentially invincible.

Hey man of sea can you tell your brother man of txt to fix the banner thx

Do you ever just want to "borrow" someone's copy of Xenogears and never return it? Because from what I've heard around these parts more than one person should answer "yes" to that.

Some say upwards of 70% of Xenogearses were acquired in this way

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Oct 24, 2023 12:53 am

I'm the only one to get my copy back.
