The "Beginner's" Guide to the Xeno Series

[Pumpkin]

Maybe Fynn will lend you his Xeno games!

Man this thread really makes me realize just HOW weird this series is. I mean, I knew it was odd, but breaking it down like this really goes to show how crazy plot points can actually still make good stories if done correctly

[Fynn]

I mean a lot of stories can be broken down like that but the execution is what really matters

I am trying to find a fresh black label Xenogears but most are like $100-300. My old copy got lost back in America.

[Fynn]

But it's available on the US PSN store so you can get it that way

[Formalhaut]

Yeah, this series sounds so strange.

I know but I really want to own a copy since it's my favorite game and I am a collector. I may even try to get that collector's edition of it(and one of Final Fantasy VIII).

Yeah, this series sounds so strange.

That's why I love it so much. Xenogears > Xenosaga Episode III > Xenosaga Episode I > Xenosaga Episode II > Xenoblade > Xenoblade Chronicles X

[Fynn]

Yeah, this series sounds so strange.

It all makes sense in context

Honestly, if it sounds weird it's because these games are so dense and ambitious in terms of story. So much research has find into the various symbols and icons and other elements represented that it's all actually really well done and not in the least gratuitous

Extremely Ambitious. I wish Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were the same way.

The Big Bad is actually trying to STOP the destruction of the universe and some 22 year-old engineer has the key to the magical universe resetting tool

Guy gets friendzoned so bad and then the girl dies so he says God is dead, dyes his hair blond, and decides to just turn people into spare parts of God

But isn't Xenoblade Chronicles the more accessible game?

It was popular among JRPG fans but the Wii was just a casual console that millions of non-gamers even owned. The game also wasn't advertised very well. That's why the copies must be so expensive.

Doesn't matter. Xenogears is a PS1 era RPG - you've played that period, you'll do fine
