Is the entire series worth a play or just the 3rd game?
why would you skip to the 3rd game in a series where the story is a big focus
>>738211029nogod nothe praise for xenosaga is a holdover from that late 90s-mid 2000s idea that anything japanese that was vaguely philosophical was 2deep4u and therefore it was a masterpiece when in reality most of that shit sucked
>>738211029it's worth it, the 1st entry is pretty sweet2nd is weird both because the story kinda comes from a cliffhanger into another in a less than satisfying way and the graphical style change is ASS3rd picks up the slack but do your homework and grab an uncensored versionus release got butchered hard
>>738211029It's good, but incredibly slow-paced and story heavy. Avoid it if you aren't prepared to deal with cutscenes longer than an anime episode.I don't think you would get much out of the third game if you skipped to it. The first game is also the overall best entry in my opinion, and it would probably be widely regarded as such if it just had snappier combat animations.
>>738211350>FilteredNot every japanese work is Evangelion nonsense
>>738211029Skip all game and play better games. this series is shit
>>738211029No.
>>738211029The only game with "xeno" in the title work playing is Xenogears.
>>738211029The games a literal continuations of each other and are story focused heavy. If you're playing for "MUH EPIC GAMEPLAY!!!!" you might as well just skip the series.
I'm maybe 12 hours into the first game and it feels like they aren't getting to the planet until the 2nd
>>738215731>Xenogears>play
>>738216319do you want the good news or the bad news first?
>>738217243Gimme the good news first
weird to see so much discussion of these games recently. was just starting a playthrough of them, been curious for a long time. did some youtuber or some retard on twitter get people talking about them again for some reason?
>>738218892Pied Piper, a mobile spinoff, just got a port for Switch and PC, so that has brought discussion about the main games getting rereleases again.
>>738219039oh I did hear about that. doubt anything will happen with the main games though, I think that just got released because the company behind it resurrects random phone games
>>738213979>play better gamessuch as?
>>738219654mario
>>738219831Lmao
>>738219039Pied piper got ported since it was a Namco mobile game and not a xenosaga title. It has no real bearing to the status of the xenosaga series I believe othrr than japanese people voted on ehich title tjey eanted to be portrd bext and pied piper got top vote..
>>738218826You can drop the game now if you don't like it by 12 hours in and are just holding out for "getting to the planet" to somehow fix the game's structure.
>>7382110291 and 2 aren't very good video games, but the stories are interesting and required for 3 so watch them on youtube (also pied piper and the missing year)
>>738211029just play xenoblade 1 instead
