The Xenosaga Series

Scanned through the first 3 pages of topics and I couldn't find anything, so I decided to make a topic =p

Does anybody here follow the Xenosaga games? I personally really like them, and I can't wait for the third (and last) game to come out. I am actually getting a DS just for Xenosaga 1 and 2 DS. Yep, it even outranks the Pokemon games for me =p

Well, no point writing a lot unless there are some fans here, so I'll just leave it like this, so I can see if anybody here likes it =)

I've never played Xenosaga, but I got interested when they announced the DS versions, so I'll be getting that.

As a game 1 was good, 2 was weak. As a Movie, they are INCREDIBLE. One of the best story games ever.

How was the second one weak? The battle system might have been a bit wack compared to the first one, but it was by no means "weak". The graphics also have taken a big jump and the storyline is still as deep as ever. The combination skills are also pretty spiffy, and the hidden bosses are quite challenging too (Mikumari, anyone?!), so I fail to see the weakness in Xenosaga 2's gameplay... though yes, 1 was pretty decent.

Xenogears would also count to be the 5th game in the Xenosaga storyline, out of whim, I blurted it out.

Of course, after reading about Xenogears effectively being Xenosaga 5, I had no idea what the relevance was, but as long as I get to play Xenosaga 3, I'm alright with that fact. I still think Shion's.. errm... too clingy. Well, only some people will get me. But that's understandable. >_>

Xenogears was supposed to be the first episode in the "Xenogears" series, sort of like how the Star Wars movies had the last ones earlier. Xenosaga and Xenogears aren't completely related, but I haven't played Gears yet so I can't say much =p

I actually really liked Xenosaga episode 2, but that is partially due to Rubedo (Jr) and Albedo being my favorite characters, and you learn so much about them. Also MOMO, and you learned a lot about Sakura in it. A bunch of people just get thrown off because they don't bother using Break Zones in battle, which seriously makes them 20 minutes long.

Since I was not grading by story, (as I said, they are incredible in that regard) I was going by game play, the battle system was MUCH more than a bit wack. This makes the game weak in my opinion.

Okay, that's your opinion, but I still don't find the justice in simply judging the battle system and in effect grading the whole game down, because there were still other enjoyable parts of gameplay, and it adds more strategy to it, many of the boss battles I needed to prepare and strategize to adapt to the battle system or else I would be beaten down. And like ChronaMew says, some people get thrown off by the system because THEY AREN'T USING THE GOD-FREAKING BREAK ZONES. They are THERE for a reason. To make your battles easier. >_> I mean, I managed to tail an AC Chain of over 10 by abusing break zones. >_>;;;
