Xenosaga, a game that has, since the beginning, come off as rather bland and ambiguous has only further extended this feeling in this Episode of its epic saga which really only serves to set the game up for further failure. In order for future episodes to even have the hope of silhouetting the game's ambitious goals, a lot off effort will be required of the people down at Monolithsoft. Nietzsche, the philosopher whose work Xenosaga’s episodes have been named after would expect no more and no less of Monolithsoft than an overcoming.

chaos: I'm having mixed feelings about this game now. Many saying that it's worth buying, while the "Zenosaga" site giving a full review on how horrible this game is, and it's effect to the whole series.

Rubedo: According to some other previes (ie. the one by IGN) it's said to be marvelous, from what they've seen. Anyone planning on getting this game, or a huge fan of the series nonetheless?
