Xenogears is freaking amazing, by the way. If you can find a copy of it, get it. I'm glad I did when I had the chance.

The story is crazy. It's very, very theatrical - very few FMVs, but since all of the locations are full 3D, there are some awesome camera moves and stuff that just makes it perfect. The battles are great - on-foot are based on button combinations and AP, where in-gear (mechs or giant robots) the buttons combos are based on how much fuel you have, and you deal more damage.

Awesome awesome awesome game. Super-rad game.
