Suikoden II is alright. It's not great. The best part of the game is Luca Blight. After that's over and done with nothing really motivated me to keep playing (except the Neclord Battle Theme that song is SO DAMN SWEET)

Xenogears was excellent. Wonderful story. I didn't care much for the battle system or the gears.

This is what it comes down to for me:

Xenogears storyline

VS.

Luca Blight and the Neclord Battle Song
