Xenogears

And if we hadn’t run out of money, you’d’ve got to play that.

Finally finished Xenogears today. Marked the occasion with a bottle of black cherry soda.

What a pity Square only finished half the game. On disc two, whole chapters are narrated in a prolonged infodump, punctuated by a few boss fights. They should’ve released disc one as part one, then finished the second half as a separate release.

Square intended Xenogears to be chapter five of a grand saga. Monolith Soft now plans to make the six game series as Xenosaga. Perhaps when they remake chapter five, it’ll get the full treatment it deserves.
