>actually good or just very ambitious?
Yes.
My half brother played these games back then, now he's a troon so hmmm i don't know.
what the frick does that have to do with Xenosaga, that's like saying
>my dad played mario and now he's dead
but to respond to OP's question, Xenosaga 1 and 3 are good games, but ultimately the series was too ambitious for its own good
Shame we'll never get I+II for the DS translated.
It's still not fully translated?
No one has worked on it in years. Don't think it ever got past basic battle menu translation.
>they don't know
You poor bastards.
Did you know? cats can think faster than humans.
>half brother
blame your broken family, not a PS2 game moron
Some people didn't take to heart Margulis' words to Cherenkov about globohomosexual degenerates casting away their will to create and drowning themselves in an endless cycle of consumption. It's like Gankernons who like Madoka Magica but are in denial that it's a spicy repudiation of transgenderism.
Did a fricking bot right this?
/pol/tards may as well be bots
>Did a fricking bot right this?
Imagine agreeing with an ESL judging someone's correct English and calling the latter a /misc/tard.
Better an ESL than a /misc/bot tbh
Sorry that people don't enjoy things the way you want them to.
They're EXTREMELY ambitious, but in the end failed for development problems and lack of sales.
God I fricking wish someone made a proper Reboot
>good or ambitious
>or
The two aren't mutually exclusive, you know?
A for the actual games, they were perhaps too ambitious for their own good.
No reason to think they are unless you're some kind of moronic robot.
I loved em, played all three
The worst part of the entire series was the changing design choices. The first looked a bit cartoony which was fine, it was a fricking Japanese animu space RPG, of course cartoony is fine. Then they went realistic to the point of ugly in 2, then they just said frick that and redid the design again entirely for 3.
Makes it hard to digest the entires as a series, and the stories do the same. I think it suffered from Ep I being so superior in story and gameplay, the later entries are why it was abandoned; it quickly became filler entirely
They're pretty mediocre games for the most part. 1 and 2's aesthetics have aged like milk and their gameplay is slow as molasses. XS3 remedied these issues a bit, but it was plagued with pacing issues unless you're into MGS4-tier cutscenes.
Xeno 1 was ok. Xeno 2 was dogshit. Never bothered playing Xeno 3.
replaying 1 right now on hardware. Gameplay is pretty tedious( slow movement/animations, loads of just running around), but the turn reel thing is kinda fun to use for maximizing every battle.
Cutscene direction and story is kino of the highest order. A lot of the npc writing is very vivid and sometimes even funny.
Only played the first one, it was even more a 'cinematic experience' than mgs series. As an anime it was ok, but meh as a game, way too much cutscenes and grindy af.
good music
good story (though if you are an adhd zoomer you'll hate it), but can be a bit too complex
however this also means replaying it lets you notice/understands things you didn't before
gameplay has good ideas and systems, but has faults like random battles in 2 being too common and time consuming and sometimes using the same puzzle that is in literally every other game
the biggest problem with the series is the story gap between 2 and 3 that means you basically have to read a novel in the database at the start of 3 to understand wtf happened
and the awful character designs in 2
>you basically have to read a novel in the database at the start of 3 to understand wtf happened
Just watch A Missing Year, it's on youtube
Episode 1 is still one of my favorite JRPGs. The storytelling and immersion were absolutely fantastic. My only major complaint was the awful anime dialog cliches. Especially Jr yelling "ALBEDOOOOOOOOOO!" over and over again.
Second game was an absolute abortion that did everything wrong and doomed the series. Third game tried to clean up the second game's mess and did better in some ways but wasn't nearly good enough to save the series.
The thing I disliked the most about 3 was how loud the footstep sound was.

Something occurred to me recently, related to the Hebrew letter Aleph on the Zohar emulator in the opening of Ep1: Aum Shinrikyo changed its name to Aleph just two years prior to the game's release, while the game was in development. The overt religious references in Japanese media all go back to Shoko Asahara.
Not great.
The first one was alright because they put a lot of effort into the cut scenes.
3 is good
1 and 2 are a slog
Xenosaga? Pfft. Xenogears, hell yeah. ID all the way baby. Look it up, young’uns.
