Is it worth playing?
>>11354290The best part of the game is Disc 2.Think about that for a moment.
>>11354298>the best part of the game is when you barely even have to play it
the furthest i ever got was the sand ship after the train or whatevereven that was a chorexenosaga is much better, and even that is pretentious boring talk simulator
>>11354290I get bored in the prison and drop it
Got about 10 hours in, realized the battle system was one of the worst in any JRPG I've experienced, and the story was an offbrand Evangelion up to that point so I dropped it
>>11354368what's so bad about this battle system?looks like standard turn based.
I emulated for about 30 minutes, and didn't reach any gameplay.
>>11354290It's an amazing game.The main selling point are the plot and the characters, so don't bother if you don't want long scenes, but I think the gameplay is still better than people give it credit for.
>>11354336I love Xenogears but the prison is definitely "that part".
>>11354290If you're the kind of person who thinks it would be up your alley then yes, definitely. Otherwise, no.
>>11354290A lot of people swear by it but I personally have aged to the point that I'm tired of consuming media that starts out strong and then falls apart where the main appeal becomes waxing about what could have been. And that's basically Xenogears to a T
>>11354370Horrendously boring and takes forever. The mecha combat isn't even a spectacle.
Still can't find the doctor on top of the mountain.
>>11354445>t. schoolboy q
>>11354336you are supposed to jack in an Action Replay in the back of the Ps1 and input codes for "no random encounters" while in the prison. And parts of the babel tower. An extremely based game.
>>11354290A shit.
>>11354290people love it, i didnt gel with it. the concept on paper is something i thought i would love, but i just didnt find appealing while playing. its like fantasy rpg world but with giant robots, again, which sounds sweet but idk, i found it boring and didnt make it to disc 2.
>>11354298>>11354310The best part of Xenogears is the mecha fighting mini game and that prison music. Xenogears would be much better as an anime or something than a game imo. Too much content and things get drawn out too long, but with an anime, that could work as a means to get people to watch the next episode.
>>11354940I don't understand this reply.
It's one of those situations where it mentions the bible so people think it's actually way deeper than it is. Basically a game for midwits.
>>11354602You've got to jump over the canyon
>>11355640Adding to that, you may have to remap some of your keys to alt and/or ctrl. Jumping uses three buttons at once and not all three-button combinations are detectable by a regular keyboard.>>11354290It's anti-FFVII. Characters are shown as sprites, which makes battles look like a SNES game and everything else is rendered in PSX-era real-time 3D that looked as bad back that as it does now.Battle system is barebones (which doesn't matter because you'll spend more time reading, like, offensively long; other rpgs of the time were reading simulators, but this reading simulator the mother of reading simulators)
>>11355640>>11355748I made it to the summit already but I can't find him at his house. Lol. I'm playing on POPStarter.
I think its waaay overrated. but i liked it. plot is boring af but the characters are decent and the RPG charm is there.
>>11355380It’s how a mouth breather that doesn’t know what IQ means but doesn’t want to say midwit "because that’s for /pol/fags" makes a content-free insult
>>11354290Boring as fuck battles with random encounters up the ass and has some of the worst platforming parts in history. Should have been a porn VN on the PC unironically.
Xenogears da bess.
>>11354370Death blows are hot garbage
>>11355380>>11356360It's a reference to a song called "that part."
>>11354290If you play rpgs mostly for the combat, then no. If you play rpgs for the story, music, characters and lore, then yes.
>Doing a dungeon that's basically a big ass tower crawl>You're in the mechs to>Reach the very top, only one jump to go and I'm done>Literally as I jump toward the platform, I get into a fight and fall to the bottom of the areaTo this day I still know if that was a forced encounter or if I just got unlucky.
>>11357107in the last large area, every moving platform has a scripted fight . . . that loads 3 seconds later.
>>11357054What compels a developer to waste interesting stories, music, characters and lore on goddamn JRPG gameplay?
>>11357240it's the least offensive and most unobtrusive gameplay. simply, easy filler. anything more complicated or involved than that would detract from the plot, character, etc. it's a much more accessible choice than having all that gated behind some shitty bullet hell or demon souls gameplay.
