I happen to believe Xenogears has a more impressive storyline than FF VII. All the talk of faith and belief and whether or not it held relavance to anything struck me hard and after playing it I had a lot to think about.

I prefered the graphics in Xenogears to the ones in FF VII as well. While VII looked wonderful for its time and was cracking in to more realistic graphics I enjoyed the more cell shaded ( is that what it is? I'm not sure what to call it exactly ) look. Plus, the anime cutscenes . . . oh how I love thee.

The villians in Xenogears . . . just wow. There are some incredibly wicked people in that game. Sephiroth is up there with some nasty characters but I don't think he compares.

Those are just my opinions though.
