Xenosaga Episode 1 has a few issues. Getting money can be a bit of a chore in this game which is probably why most gamers never bother with the AGWS because they are serious money sinks. The game is also really slow in it's pacing, hell it even makes a battle to the death against ghost aliens on a star ship feel like it took too long and had too many detours in it. My last gripe is the games atrocious use of it's soundtrack. Having owned the actual OST, I know Mitsuda delivered a damn good soundtrack but the designer just never use it, in fact most spaceships don't bother having background music and that's 90% of the smurfing game. If I'm not just listening to the clip clop of my party's feet then I'm stuck listening to the ten or so tracks that do get repeated all the time which are battle thtmes, the U.M.N. Theme, or that awful jazzy contemporary piece that often plays when the party (mostly Allen) is being goofy. So yeah, smurf you guys for denying me some of the games best tracks.
