The story compressed into 54 minutes makes it even more batshit crazy :)
It's not really. It's fundamentally a story about the importance of maintaining trust and love in the people you know as opposed to trusting institutions and systems who's only purpose is to use, consume, and expend human life endlessly for the sake of simply maintaining that cycle. Don't look to nationalism, religion, or leaders to validate your existence because they don't care about you. Instead, keep your loved ones close and trust them.
So like yeah I guess white people don't get it.
even worse, he doesn't even mention Perfect Works (the book), this is a very linear and shallow review. makes the game looks very disjointed and mediocre.
@@moenibus Why the fuck would he mention an outside source for a game review? If you need outside sources to make your game good, then it isn't a good game. And this is coming from someone who likes Xenogears.
I recommend everybody look up Alex jones explains xenogears if u can find it
I can't believe my parents bought me this. This story just flew right by my kid brain. The whole time I was like "THAT'S AN EVEN COOLER ROBOT THAN THE LAST ONE!"
HAHAHAHA
Sheeet, I played this in 2011 when I was 22 and it still flew over my head
Yep, this is a good game to replay when older.
For reals. I don't think I grasped even 5% of the story as a young teenager but I just kept playing for the next awesome mech and combat abilities. Definitely need to replay with my adult brain now.
Man, the second disk of jumps right off the rails straight into crazy town.
When I was a kid, the early hours of this game made realize this game isn't for kids. The complexity & the maturity of the overall story really a mind blown to me at that time as this game is basically the first JRPG I played along with Legend of Dragoon.
luckily for me, this game came out when I was in middle school, so I understand half the content of the game and as I replayed it over and over (I counted 38 times until my PS1 burnt down literally) I keep finding new information every time. Yes, this game is so complex...
Legend of dragoon is another little masterpiece
the story isnt actually all that mature in terms of good story telling. the amount of twists and new story elements that are tossed in even late into the game, make the whole story rather incoherent. its still a fun game, but the story needed to be tightened up a bit
The story is not so much complicated as it is convoluted
Brooooo same here, xenogears, deonr mission 3, and final fantasy 7 were the big 3 for me then onto xenosaga, front mission 4 and final fantasy 10, im actually alternating between xenosaga, front mission 3 and legend of dragoon right now still have all 3 and playing on my playstation 2 haha
Damn....
How fun would it be to get an HD remake of this game and extend the DISC 2 to be more complete with dungeons and other story arcs to be playabe...
WEW... I can only dream :D
Arpeeph This game is begging for
1) High res sprite work. The animation quality is all around excellent. But the low resolution kinda hurts it. If we could get at least 720p assets, this would be awesome.
2) The game needs a script rewrite. Not taking away from the original, but it can be done a lot better.
3) Monster redesign. Lots of enemies (especially when riding your gear) felt really hokey and out of place.
4) And of course, someone needs to redo the event planning for the 2nd half of the game. The massive info dump needs to go.
I basically agree on all counts. A full HD remaster of the game and constructing disc 2 into fully playable content, with a massive script edit (and maybe some bonus content). No need to completely redo it from scratch, assuming they still have all of the engine and build assets to work from. Just realize the full potential of the game, from the original tools, on modern hardware would be enough for me.
Though, I sincerely doubt that will ever happen. Tetsuya Takahashi, the lead developer, left square to found Monolith Soft (and make his other Xeno games). So I doubt that Takahashi and the brass at Square would engage in a revival project that's only bound to benefit Square financially. Plus, while it was one of the best RPGs ever developed, it was a niche hit instead of a runaway genre busting game like FF7; the game that brought JRPGs into the mainstream. So I doubt there's enough interest to bank on a remake any better than a hasty port. And no thank you to that idea.
It probably won't happen, but the current Xenos are on Nintendo platforms, and Nintendo has a better relationship with Square now than for a while so... One in a million, not a trillion?
3.14 Dragon I can only wish. Can you even imagine higher poly redesigns of the gears? Barring that they heavily inspired designs in Xenosaga.
Sad face.
I played this so long ago and wanted to remember what happened. I have so much regret. This game seemed so much simpler when I was 10 years old and just thought "mechs saving the world!"
word
Same
OH MAN!!! This is the BEST RECAP EVER!!! I was really sick and tired of all the youtubers that said: "I'm going to "tell you" the whole story, but not give you spoilers", so in the end they didn't said anything at all, just giving me a hard time and made me waste my time.
Thank you so much for finally telling the whole story. I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!
I love this comment
It was a little bit normal, then graf flat out told fei he was supposed to kill god
and every time that asshole showed up to power up the boss, it was just to provide fei an even bigger challenge, to sort of polish his little god slayer's potential even more.
Yep... a misreading on Nietzsche's "God is dead." by young, enthusiastic Japanese developers.
As you casually do in any given conversation
What is Xenogears?
Only one masterpiece of a game that got little praise in wake of FF7.
Honestly one of if not the best RPG I ever played.
People think Xenosaga is based before this, but creators said there are similarities shared, but two totally different stories.
I hope with all my heart they remake Xenogears at some point.
Reason being? They didn't get to fully finish the game hence why the last CD seemed very rushed.
tinyjester27 Along with FF8, Xenogears is one of the most Unfinished games of Square back in the day. Xenoblade Chronicles is awesome, but I wanna see a true ReMake of Xenogears that does it the Justice it deserves. Especially in this Day n Age where things are constantly ReMade for the better.
I feel like a remake would be good considering the popularity of XenoBlade just to show people where it all started
i'd like remakes of both xenogears and xenosaga, i love the xenoblade games and want to get into the previous two but i feel they might feel a bit dated at this point so a remake would be great.
patrick watkins I'd love it too, but with Gears onwed by Sqaure, Saga by Namco, and Monolith by Nintendo it probably won't happen. I wish those Xenosaga remaster rumors were real.
tinyjester27
Its a spiritual successor only...
WE ARE MEN OF THE SEA!!
I would say this in unison with you if only I didn't have this injury.
Both Bart and the Captain in unison
Captain of THAMES!
:D
Tom Fluxus dropping a warship on me is cheating....here...take it back..
This game is what happens when the scenario writer goes into an acid binge midway through writing a plot.
One of the most complex games ive ever played in my life.
Brandon Canady agreed. I played this as a 11 year old and couldn’t fathom it all. Still, it left a HUGE impact on me and helped form the gamer I am today. So much so, my daughter’s middle name is “Elly”. This game is amazing and I want a ReMake of it as much as I want a ReMake of MS Saga.
Thanks for everyone's patience and sorry for the impromptu hiatus! The next RECAP will be Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls!
Any idea on how long before UDG comes out?
Going to TRY to get back to my old pseudo-schedule, which was about 2 videos a month (roughly every 2-3 weeks). For UDG, I'm aiming for the end of the month, but it will be asap so it may be sooner.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad it helped. I'm watching the new anime too so it's pressure to get it out fast.
*****
No worries, quality over quantity, thats what i like, dont rush if you dont have to
Sweet. I can finally use that so someone else can watch DR3
this story is really confusing. You did a great job there.
Wtf did i just listen to. Awesome confusion!
Not as complex as kingdom hearts like idk what's going on in there...
I heard this game went through hell during production, honestly if they remastered it and made the story and game more polished it would stand up there some of the best RPGs of all time.
Not really
@@ranjayd I find this as complex.
11:24 "dropping a war ship on me is cheating! Take it back!" -Id
best soundtrack ever
Somes1337 it may not be mine, but it’s hard to disagree with you. The music here gets at your gut
I was at the end of first disc and leave it at that like one year or so, thank God I find some good summary at last for remembering the little details.
So thanks for making this video even if you don't read this
What a breathtaking game. All these years later and still learning details of how everything fits together. Not sure I've encountered another story of its scope - it practically defines the (now overused) term "epic." And am I the only one who feels like Abel & Elly is one of the most moving romances ever? A love that always finds its way again and again through even the darkest of hardships and 10,000 years of reincarnations. I just really love this game apparently... and still yearn for a day when all chapters of this vast vision could be properly funded and realized.
Elly and Fei is the best romance story in video games.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't original Ellie kinda original Fei's mom?
I love the music and the scenes you did. you Put them in order along with your recap, that is very awesome! =D
Thank you so much for making this. Xenogears may actually be my favorite game ever. I've played through it at least 5 times but to this day never fully understood it. For the first time I think I do now. Hope you'll tackle the hard part and move on to all of the Xenosagas.
I would pay good money for a good designer to remake this game on a modern game engine
I was worried you had stopped making videos but I'm glad to see you back at it. These videos can't be easy to make but they awesome
I love this series. You take everything step by step and it's easy to follow along. Some games I've played I get to reminisce about and some games I've never played I get to learn about. Keep up the good work!
at first the games really confusing but once you get to it it’s actually really interesting and amazing it makes you think and it’s just crazy how good it is
Thank you for doing this. To this day, this remains one of my favorite games of all time, with one of my personal favorite stories ever told; video game or otherwise.
Just want to say I find this, and all your "story" videos amazing. I would really like to see the story of XenoSAGA presented this way.
Xenogears lived upto it's legend. That plot was really convoluted. Mostly because it kept seeming like new things were added in out of nowhere.
One of my favorite games as a kid, but you hit that point of escalation and most of this went way over my head. Didn't recall much of it, definitely enjoyed listening to the recap in detail. Thank you.
35:10 "Oh good, that little interlude with the wall of text and the chair was a neat little break, but I'm glad it's over. Can't wait to get back to playing more Xenogears on Disc 2!"
This was such an awesome game. Loved the key command inputs for attacks!
the xeno series never gets enough attention
Yeah, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is by far the most known of the whole Xeno Universe of games, but even still its considered a niche game
I can understand. Xenosaga 1 and 2 ( the games that came after Xenogears) are bland and unnapealing. I stopped to follow Xenogears after them but i understand.
Shulk slash!
Out of all the RPG's this one has always been my favorite thanks for letting me relive one of my favorite moments in life.
As an aside, I think the two portions of this game that I loved the most were when you went to Bledevik (sp), and the prison sequence. With the city portion, I loved how detailed that city was, and how easy it was to get distracted by everything as you explored, hunting for secrets. The story there was also very fun.
The prison sequence was kind of irrelevant to the overall plot, but there was just something about it that I loved. Again, it was incredibly detailed, and I found myself getting lost in it. The story there was also a lot of fun, and while it wasn't necessarily my most favorite thing in the game, I did enjoy the Gear battles.
This is definitely the most difficult RPG narrative-wise to slog through as a 10 year old. I played this at the same time as Lunar Silver Star Story and Final Fantasy 7. To this day I still have a friend who from 4th grade to this day says, "Lacan is Grahf, Grahf is Khan, but Fei is Lacan. So WTF!?" The idea of the contact with the wave-existence splitting what are essentially souls from the body is pretty obtuse to people of any age.
I didn't have the chance of enjoying this game when I was younger, and now I have just tons of stories I want to know about.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
It was really nice, thank you.
28:53 the save point is not only a physical thing in the game but its also canon !? Now thats fucking awesome
Was waiting for you to do this game. This is by far the most confusing game I ever played. Lol
It's soooooooooo dense.
and for some reason I understand this game more than Chrono cross lol
Well, Chrono Cross wasn't written by the same guy. Kato worked on Xenogears (and parts of FF7) but Chrono Cross was like... his own personal take at a complex story (and sequel to Trigger). I agree with you though... I think Xenogears' story simply works better than Chrono Cross'. But I think a lot may have to do with the fact that Xenogears was its own thing... while Chrono Cross tried to be a sequel to Trigger (and a remake of Radical Dreamers)... and there are frustrations about that.
why confuse? i played and beat this game when i was 12.
@rhyme confusing as in story line. if you understood the storyline at age twelve then you must be a genius. This shit made no sense. I only played it when I was about twelve because the robots looked like Gundams.
But I never understood the game. I tried playing it last year using an emulator on my phone, but the game froze. So I stopped
Thank you for compressing the story the best you could, I was looking for a video exactly like this.
This game was such a master piece. I played it when I was a teenager and my English wasn't very good. The story and overall atmosphere of this game is just epic. Thank you for this. I gotta play this game again sometime. They don't make them like this anymore.
This game deserves a completed version! According to WatchMojo, Xenogears ranks 2nd among PS1 RPGs, only beaten by FFVII. For an incomplete game to rank 2nd is a testament to how great it is.
Were it not for the nostalgia factor in so many peoples' minds, Xenogears would obliterate FFVII. Incomplete or not, I have yet to encounter any game as ambitious as Xenogears/Xenosaga. FFVII was my first RPG and yes, I will always hold a special soft spot for it, but it's not my favourite. Takahashi's games probably have my favourite storylines out of any RPGs I've ever played.
its not incomplete... I finished it and I saw the ending.
While that may be true never trust WatchMojo. They are notorious for jot getting their facts corrects and taking non-legit sources as truth.
@@Harkz0r But FFVII gameplay, and overall cohesion, just obliterates Xenogears.
YES!! was waiting for you to do Xenogears!! thanks
Thank you for making these I love watching these for old RPGs I no longer have time to play again. You rock keep up the good work.
Glad you did this and glad to have you back. Keep up the good work!
Wow! finally it's done! thank you so much for this! really brings back memories. Really appreciate your effort on this, I imagine it must've taken a lot of time to do this, but great job!
God, I adore this game. Next to Suikoden II and Chrono Trigger, it's probably one of my all-time favorite JRPG out there. The story is kind of heavy, sometimes a bit odd, but definitely a thinker, and the combat system was glorious. It was a shame about disc 2, I remember being pretty disappointed because unlike so many other games, moving on to the next disc didn't make the game more expansive, but less. Still, regardless, it's a gem.
Coincidentally, I only just found your channel so I'm still looking through your videos, but if you haven't, Suikoden I, II, and III are all great and I highly recommend them for possible videos! The second one was probably the best of the bunch, and IV wasn't really all that great. V was a return to form, but they missed the mark in some ways, and it never quite got up to the level of the second one. 3 was just very different, but I still loved it.
funny you say that cause my 3 favorite games are Chrono Trigger, Xenogears and then Suikoden 2 lol
Man I remember bringing this home when it first came out and playing it for two months. My mind was blown by the story.
I really enjoyed this! Thank you for all your recapitations; they're always enjoyable and I always learn something new about games I love.
For what it's worth, I vote for you to tackle the Xenosaga series at some point for recapitation!
Best JRPG I've ever played. Excellent job recapping the story! That's one hell of a long reading session, I hope you had a big-ass mug of water handy. (or you did a good job splicing multiple recording segments together!)
Thank you! This is the Recap i didn't knew i wanted!
Thank you so much for this recap. It helped me get caught back up right where I left off and still give me space to explore the rest of the story myself. This video was perfectly done, and I'm looking forward to coming back to it after I beat the game!
i love new vids on this channel! my fav way to recap some classics. Thanks a lot for all your effort you put in.
That outro music gave me the shivers, the good nostalgic kind. :) Thanks man.
I've been waiting for this. Thank you.
Thanks So Much for this RECAPitation. Til this day Xenogears is my favorite video game of all time. Watching your video was Uber-Nostalgic
I swear this channel is an underrated gold mine for fans of RPGs and JRPGs.
Oh thank god that you made a video again. It feels like you haven't uploaded since before the summer started.
Thank you so much for this dude! This is one of the first games I had played on PS1. Its nice to have someone summarize the whole story since I was way too young to understand what the hell was going on.
Damn It has enough content to be separated into several novels, or several games nowadays. I love the fact that this game, which has incomplete 2nd disk is one of the longest explanation videos.
Weird how I randomly decided to look up Xenogears on TVTropes earlier, and then you upload this. Nice coincidence to help understand this crazy game
Despite production problems and plot holes left and right, this game still sticks with me all these years later. Storywise, it attempted things other games even today are hesitant to try.
Xenogears, Legend of Dragoon and Chrono Cross...3 underrated JRPGs that shaped my taste in RPGs in general
This was such an awesome game - not only from a Mech and RPG style game but the story. Very similar in some ways with the beats, philosophy, and mythology also used the Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion and the later XenoSaga games using many overtones from in-depth studies of Judeo-Christian texts.
Did ya know Squaresoft was even going to use this plot for FF7 at one time? (True story!) but went with what we have today. Although we do still have some similarities like Sephiroth... just coincidence that 'Sefiroth' means 'path to the light' in Kabbalah/Tree of Life.
Kinda interesting how these things get connected with these particular giant mecha stories. Even the entire sub-plot of Krelian trying to bring back together the lost piecess of Deus/"god" to become whole again to prevent the suffering of individuality. Sound familiar to the End of Evangelion at all? The Hedgehog paradox?
An interesting side note is that both Xenogears and Evangelion came out right around the same time - give or take a couple years - and give or take the hell the translation team had to go through to get this baby into English! I mean... can you imagine??
It's some deep philosophical stuff and this was one of those games where (at the time) you could talk with your friends all night long on a road trip for hours on end about not only the game but life in general and how and what each character was trying to accomplish in their own ways... whether misguided or not. You could almost see them as sympathetic antagonists when you saw the overall arc of the story and these fragments of RPG/Mech action were really just frosting on a otherwise masterpiece formula. Sure, you could play thru it and just button mash for the martial art segments and upgrade your gears without caring much about any of the story... but it grabbed you hook, line, and sinker.
And it wouldn't let you go. When I saw those first anime sequences and Graph standing tall above me proclaiming he was going to be the "Slayer of god!" I knew... THIS was a game that was going to change things! The fabric of its story cut right to the core of human's souls! How could you NOT turn away??
Yes, I believe this game was swept over somewhat with the crazy tidal current from FF7 at the time. As confusing as FF7's plot could be - you were invested in the characters and especially Aerith and Cloud. Driving a sword through your girlfriend as you watched helplessly... the emotional appeal was there and FF7 sailed onward to gaming legend! That's what made people want to dig through every area of that game and find answers. And it was a masterpiece in its own right... but Xenogears truly was something different.
I can see how a lot of people thinking it was going to be this action/badass RPG Mech game got a little turned away by the heavy plot. Not enough action and a hell of a lot of story. But I rememembered and still enjoyed every bit of it. Like I said, Xenogears got me invested, because at least with FF7 I knew I was playing a game. One hell of a great game but still a game. Xenogears wasn't afraid to shake the heavens itself and I believe the box art on the back said something like that. How could this game about a guy that practiced martial arts and did some painting in a small town in the middle of nowhere... turn into a epic sci-fi adventure that - let's face it - this could have been another Star Wars. Yes the plot was difficult but if you put the time in to figure it out... you werer rewarded! And let's not forget that this was just EPISODE V.
I really got engrossed in all the story material and had to make a FAQ/Guide as a totally separate book just to try and connect all the dots and keep things straight. I think it's still somewhere out there in cyberspace. I know it was like 100+ pages long and detailed the few things I was able to assemble from the game to put together a pretty good outline for Episodes 1-4. If anyone finds it, let me know okay?? I think it's like 20 years old now. There was no Wikipedia or anything so I just hosted it on an old server where I had lots of other projects. It's probably floating around out there. I know lots of people think XenoSaga was Episodes 1-3 but it's not the case and if you do enough study like I had to... you find out.
There's a guy (TeraCorrupt) who did an excellent job on it. He missed a few things but covers the basics: and I'd suggest checking it out. (Link Below) I don't know him, but I respect anyone who has the guts to dive in to the abyss that this game can be because it's pretty insane. There are two parts to it and here's the first. He's one of the few out there who is able to comprehend the complexity of this game. Here's the link for the first part:
ruclips.net/video/DadAepW4LD8/видео.html
Another one who does a great job on covering not just Xenogears but Xenosaga and Xenoblades is Milks. Again, I don't know him but he does a very good and very detailed job on this.
ruclips.net/channel/UCGFScRzLX-XVbVSCHuc9DRA
There was a book called "Xenogears: Perfect Collection" or something like that. which also had an art book and explained more the backstory since this is just EPISODE V. The one I had never got an English release to my knowledge. So my friend Kai and I translated the entire damn thing! I tried to show the few graphs and charts using numbers/symbols/letters and found a free-flowing way to translate pieces Kai did for me into English a normal reader would understand. Even translated, not all of it made sense and so I had to use some more background from Judeo-Christian texts that I could get ahold of and finding those that were in English. Regardless, we did it.
In fact, I was able to confirm my theories and research data by using that book long after I published it. Thankfully I was right for the vast majority of things. After finishing something so massive... I really was mentally and physically spent. It took your mind to so many places. But really... its too bad the perfect collection wasn't translated as you needed that just to keep up with what was going on. I think it would have done better if they had but that's just IMHO. Sorry this was so long but I'm pretty passioante about it and sadly I don't have my friend Kai to talk with anymore.
Also, my personal respect to Monolith soft and Soraya Saga. Doubt they'll ever see this but I love what you have done and your work. I wish Xenogears could have been that massive 6-episode masterpiece.
Holy fuck man take a breath
David Saber
Got a TLDR for that?
Nice essay
Dang, don't know why these other commenters are complaining about a fucking youtube comment 😂. Thanks for posting, it was an interesting read and I think it's really cool that you and your friend kai were able to translate that into english. Have a great day/night!
Btw I just noticed how old your comment was, so sorry if it's weird seeing a response so far into the future lol. I just thought it was weird your comment got so buried since its pretty interesting reading your history with the game and must've taken some effort to write
Thanks you for making this! This is my all time favorite story ever! Subscribed + Thumbs up!
6:49 "Evolution is a lie! We're actually descended from a totally new race of humans that God created after the old one tried to fight him with giants so they could reach Paradise!"
"Incredible! Say, have you heard anything about a especially strong mech, possibly one of the giants the old humans made?"
"Pft, myth."
:/
Levity aside, great, entertaining, and informative video!
Holy crap, you're beyond amazing dude, this recapitation is on another level, THANK YOU!
Always been liking ur RECAPitation videos ! Please do more of them
Finished this game back when i was little without regard for the story. Thank you for explaining everything!
thanks so much for the time and work you put into these
This was really helpful in understanding the story in that game, it was complex even for JRPG standards. I hope you will do Xenosaga and Xenoblade as well.
well this one is really long, thanks. this one feel like reliving my childhood memory.
Great job Man!
The story is so deep, i wish this game would come to the switch
Deep? Oh, you're 14.
Why only the Switch?
That sadly will never happen.
Buy a vita, play it on there.
@@FeiTheVillain Probably because most people interested in playing Xenogears nowadays came from playing the Xenoblade Chronicles games first, which are Nintendo exclusive
Yes you are back!
Thank you for this! Brough back many memories of my childhood.
Very VERY late to this but only halfway thru & this is WILD. I played FF + Shadow Hearts but Xenogears is another level of wild. I'm thrilled this video exists, 7 years later, for me to start my day with. Thank you & wherever you are, I hope you're thriving.
Fantastic, thank you. xenogears is my fav game ever, I don't have 80 hours to relive it so this is the next best thing!
Excellent job!
I normally dont comment at all on youtube videos but thanks for coming back and making another video, I havent had a TV in about 12 years and dont have time for games but loved my FF8, FF7, vagrant story etc type of games. Loved them for their plot, something you cant really get from a tv show or movie. Thats why I like watching your videos and am glad to see you're still making more
The time is come for us to make petition and send to Square Enix. That outside of japan was really want a remaster of this game, be it on pc,ps4,and xbox.
@@charleschoo9398 yasss
Still waiting for a modern game to have a nice dark complex story like this...
Like Mario?
I actually spit out my drink, thanks a lot.
you clearly need to play Nier:Automata :D
Try any Taroverse games, or Blazblue
Nier: Automata is masterfully written like Xenogears and will leave you thinking about your existence weeks after you finish the game. I just want to point out out that another game of this calibre took about 18 years.
Man when Fei wanted to die after the Lahan accident... that scene brought me to tears back in the day. Especially after seeing him just collapse and just hurdle in the cradle position.. it was just a sad scene.
I remember playing this game for hours on end. Enjoying the storyline, by the way spot on break down, and the music. It was one of those games that became a hidden gem because of coming out between FF7 and FF8. I never heard anything about it but it was a square soft title and I loved almost everything they released so I bought it on impulse. Was not disappointed, beat this game 12 different times to better understand the masterpiece my fingers just played. To the team that created this game, bravo and do an HD remake and maybe a movie like advent children
Yo! Thanks for explaining the story in full detail, i was always interested in this game, but didn't knew if it was worth playing, imma play this game soon.
Whew! Well done!
Great video! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the nostalgia trip. And I remember disk 2 being rushed and info dump but omg I forgot how much info dump that my 12 yr old self could handle.
YOUR-CHANNEL-IS-AWESOME!
best game ever, i was waiting a recap from you :)
I learned a lot from this video. A lot more than I thought I ever knew. Its a lot took take in but well worth it.
Welcome back we miss you
This is awesome. Thank you for this!
I wish more games were made like this. With todays graphics enhancements it would be beautiful with this style. So much drugs had to have been taken for this plot.
no, they would spend too much time on combat and graphics, we'd miss out on the great story.
I would suggest combat and story, I have little to no use for graphics. If it looks okay then it passes. All I need in a game is an opening and c,losing cutscene everything else I skip. The story should be told in game too not through cutscenes.
don't promote drugs...
Just imagine Xenogears remake as the graphic they did in Xenoblade X
actually, this is a work of an intelligent mind who wasn't able to fully realize a vision, if he was taking drugs, it would have been much more random and fucked up, and wouldn't have been the awesome game that it is
just finished this game before watching this. great recap and thank you!
Great job! I'm midway through a playthrough and somehow completely lost as to what the hell is going on... This is a huge help!
great recap keep doing your thing
Greatest story ever told in a game, I replay it atleast once a year
omg yay im glad u posted more
Omg one of the greatest rpg's ever. It was this game that spurred my love for Mecha Anime. The fact that I still own this game is amazing to me. I need a remake of this series
I just love the story of xenogears. It has Nietzsche written all over it.
what is Xenogears... a story that confuses the shit out of me until I found out that this game is the 5th story out of 6
This was soo EPIC!
These videos are strangely addicting
