    Someone needs to explain what's so special about Xenogears to me. If it sounds appealing I may have to try it.

    More specifically, it's a massive title with the use of the Active Battle System that Final Fantasy uses, a very deep (and confusing) story, and lots and lots of cutscenes. If you like the old school Final Fantasy series and cutscenes, you'll like this one. It's pretty mature for it's time (in both relationships and overall progress and content), but it's not a "must play" title unless you're a big fan of RPG's. I'd suggest Square's "Vagrant Story" over this one any time.

    Add Suikoden 2, Vagrant Story, and the BoF games and the PSN store will be golden.

    Xenogears has a complicated story that can get confusing like Xenosaga. Like Xenosaga, Xenogears is a more mature jrpg compared to some other jprgs. I can't remember exactly but Xenogears is some how connected or related to Xenosaga in some way or another.

    I actually liked Xenosaga more than Xenogears but it's a good game if you don't get confused with the story.

    It's not "directly" linked to the Xenosaga series - it just carries over some elements, and makes some references with names and such. Here's a quote from the creator of both titles:

    Quote:
     
    It's probably more suitable to say that it follows the direction and style of Xenogears. [...] Now that we are under a different company, we figured we should start everything from scratch all over again. Though there are familiar faces that serve as important characters in Xenosaga, others are more like self-parodies, so we don't really want Xenogears fans to overreact. Like movies, sometimes you have the director of the movie or friend of the leading actor appearing as cameos, so it's similar to that


    It's worth looking into if you're into deep RPG's, but it takes a long time to both beat, and to actually get started. It starts off pretty slow, especially when compared to other, upbeat RPG's.

    I've wanted to try this one for a long ass time.... So I'm pretty excited it's finally come to the PSN.
