The old Xenosaga thread was dead, so I thought I'd merge two games together because they're slightly the same. XD
Gotta love Xenogears and it's complicated storyline, and them air quotes for every damn scene filled with lovely spoilers. <3 for the first time players, they go, "WHAT." at the air quotes. XD
Sample goes like this (no spoilers. Taken right out of the first few hours of the game):
Citan: If 'he' awakens...!
Xenosaga, gotta love Episode 3. MOMO. <33333
Oh, and the uncut version of the Albedo and MOMO scene.

NO! I do NOT like Episode III. I like Jin! So NO! Unless, you mean the part where you get to beat the crap out of Shion...then, oh yeah. I liked it.

I prefer Episode 3 out of the three because it had less cut scenes and they got back the old VAs from Episode 1, except for MOMO. :/ Episode 1 = I can make toasted bread during a cut scene and when I get back, the cut scene is still playing. And I like Episode 3 because MOMO imitates some of Ziggy's moves. She's so GAR and loli at the same time.

I didn't play 3. 2 bored me to tears. I'll finish the series one of these days.
But yeah, Xenogears was fun.

I didn't like Xenosaga...
Couldn't get into Xenogears.

If I remember something I read long ago....
Episodes I and II were supposed to be one game, the events from the end of II to the beginning of III mentioned in Episode III were supposed to be one game, and Episode III is what you have.
It's been a while since I've read it, but I think it had to do with the change in writers.
I liked XenoGears--too bad Square was a butt with the money and gave it all to FF8. Disc 2 was NOT fun to play in XenoGears.
Writers changed during the middle of all this, so the story also suffered.

Well, I also remember that Xenosaga was supposed to be six parts and that Xenogears was going to be part five.

That's right. I remember that also.
Wasn't part IV supposed to be the back story told in XenoGears? You know, the opening animation?

Probably, I don't remember that.

I know XenoSaga and XenoGears aren't huge like Final Fantasy, but I wonder if the people at Square ever regretted not going with that series?

I really, really doubt it. Square likes its money and Nomura. Also, Namco made Xenosaga anyway.

Actually, the people who made XenoGears left Square and started their own company: Monolith. They just sold the rights to Namco.

I'm a HUGE Xenogears/Xenosaga fan <3
My favourite would have been Episode I (I actually enjoyed the long cutscenes, hehehe). I thought that the 3rd one was rushed, but it's to be expected since they crammed four games worth into one. And the 2nd one was painful with it's GS compains (ugh).
But my favourite character is chaos, hands down. I looooove him <3

I liked the cutscenes in I, but a save point in between two cutscenes was a bit much.
