Xenogears
Wow! This game is incredible. The game really
makes you think after you've played it. The game almost wasn't released
in the U.S. because because of its secular ideas, and religious overtones
that are incorporated into Xenogears' plot. It discusses the pros and cons
of creationism versus evolution, and other such ideas. The plot is stunning
with VERY nice anime cutscenes. I've seen alot of RPG plots. but none like
this. I really didn't believe a video-game could have such a depth-filled
plot with such theological ideas. The music is EXCELLENT. Some of the best
music I've heard anywhere, video-game, movie, CD, cassette..... anywhere!
You play Fei, an 18 year-old man who gets involved in a war with an evil
nation, who's ultimate plan is to "create God". Along the way you meet
up with Elly, a mysterious woman who is something much more. The plot doesn't
seem to unique, eh? Well guess what? IT IS. Play the game and you'll know
what I mean. The plot is very complicated with LOTS and LOTS of twists
and turns. Many references to religion, Christianaty (i. e. crosses, convents,
nuns, priests, etc.), secular ideas and debatable issues that seem to have
spawned from the issues and current events in our real world today. The
graphics are excellent, no matter what anybody says. If you didn't like
the graphics in Lunar or Xenogears, its
because you've been playing shooters all your life and you can't appreciate
a good RPG. The battle system is pretty unique, and one of the best I've
seen. You can feet in or outside of "gears", gigantic robot-like mechanisms.
In my Lunar page, I say that Lunar is the best game I've ever played. Well,
Xenogears is a tie, if not even just .00003 percent better. If you're an
Rpg fan, and you don't have this games, get it NOW!
