Would you consider xenogears a fantasy plot or a realistic(but futuristic plot)

Hey, it doesn't matter if it's sci-fi or fantasy. Whatever it is, it's a damn good game.

But to expand a bit more...I'm an avid book-reader. But only mystery/crime and fantasy. FANTASY. I absolutely loathe science fiction novels. There is a huge difference between the two. It is, in its own way, fantasy, but it branches off into something that I deem unreadable. But not, necessarily, unplayable. Xenogears is science fiction. If, because sci-fi relates to fantasy, it is also fantasy, so be it. It can't be a little bit of both? I agree with ShunNakamura.

Final Fantasy 7, and 8 also seem to lean more towards the sci-fi direction, while Tactics seems to take more to the fantasy side. In terms of setting, and plot, maybe, not character interaction. I think xenogears seems more realistic because it doesn't have the Final Fantasy logo on it. It's much deeper, and takes more chances. It's a given that all the FF games will be released here as well as Japan. That game almost didn't get over here because it was so controversial. In the character interaction...way...it is a lot more realistic....blah.*shrug*
