#Disc 2 is literally 15 save points worth of Cutscenes they didn't have time to finish then a boss fight with like 3 dungeons in there too

I Have Finally Finished Xenogears (1998) And Can Finally Start And Enjoy Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (2022)
YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
#Actual Thoughts Time:#Xenogears is slow and old and if you don't like looking things up you'll probably get lost a bit#But man I did enjoy it#solid 9/10 for the era#But honestly it's so slow if you're impatient at all it'll probably feel like a 7.5/10#but there's so many tiny details and hidden things#like the spider web you get in the first room lets you do a sidequest near the end of disc 1#there's a thing called the mermaid tear in disc 1 that isn't used until you go to an optional location in disc 2#with a specific character which unlocks a specific flashback cutscene and changes all of the visuals for their moves#then you can go find an old lady and get a ring#And I just love stuff like that#But also this is NOT the kind of game you do multiple playthroughs of so like#just look stuff up periodically#I used the Xenogears Shrine on rpgclassics for most of my info#that or Luxin's unfinished recap series for just the important parts#Also this ending cutscene song was nice :)#And honestly I did like the story and the characters#But man it is so super obviously unfinished and imperfectly translated#Disc 2 is literally 15 save points worth of Cutscenes they didn't have time to finish then a boss fight with like 3 dungeons in there too#they didn't even manage to finish ALL of the boss fights one of them is JUST a cutscene#and then you get to explore the overworld which is just like 2 optional dungeons and 'did you get the trader card? No? Go fight the final b#oss loser'#but I really did enjoy it at like a 9/10 level#but I cannot recommend it without an emulator to use turbo when grinding and stuff#but there's so much love and fun put into it too that I can say it might be worth it#I grinded out a character's deathblows just because I liked him and his final one was super cool#it switched to first person for a bit which nothing else in the game had done at that point and juggles the enemy in the air#I never even used it in a real fight but I enjoyed it anyways#there's plenty of moves I never got to use like Fei's level 80 deathblow since I was only level 75#there's plenty of characters and there's enough to do with all of them that you can basically 'main' them without issue
