Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra Reactions
Gamestop was a day late getting my copy in due to a "routing error," so I've been playing ever since I was able to pick it up. Just recently hit disc 2 and I am loving every second of the game so far, as per usual with the Xenosaga series.
(SPOILER)I could pretty much watch KOS-MOS and T-ELOS beat each other up every second of every day for the rest of my life and die happy.
Anyone playing? played? thoughts? The usual.
I got it today and just started playing. It already seems a lot better than the second one. I don't like how you have to press circle to make the text go especially with the ammount of stuff there's bound to be. I HATED that in Xenogears. I just like to relax an watch when the big long secenes come on.
I agree about the pressing O thing, mainly because it hacks up the continuity of the way the voice acting sounds if you don't press it right. There is too much dialogue and story scenes to put them all into nice fully animated scenes, but they should have just made it so you didn't have to press anything. We've got the start + triangle skip feature anyway. I guess this was to counter all the criticism about the lengthy scenes, so someone can just read through it without actually listening to all the dialogue spoken. I've gotten used to it, but I could definitely do without.
I really want to get this, but not exactly sure when Australia gets it. I heard sometime around Christmas. <3
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Xenosage 2 is sooooooooo awesome
Im currently in the thoughts of MOMO.
number 3, play?, certainly.

lol, just hit select and the text boxes will change every time the character will stop talking.
I went right after school to get it on the release date. Which was the shipping date. So I did the same thing again the next day. So far, it's rocking hard.
I'm liking the battle system, and the customization of characters is quickly becoming enjoyable. Throwing Ziggy in with the blocker skill set and tossing up heat makes the battles much easier. On top of that, I find that MOMO is finally relatively useful to me.
The E.S. combat is so much better, too. E.S. Reuben is so freakin' awesome.
Boy, am I bummed. I hadn't finished XS:II yet, but I was right in the end so I figured I could beat it and head straight into XS:III. -.- My memory slot is gone. Wah, I have to start all over. I didn't find this out until after getting III.
I'm glad to hear everyone's enjoying it, though. So far, I've mostly heard about the battle system. How is the plot doing so far?
(SPOILER)The Red Testament is Kevin. I so called that.
Xenosaga II sucked so much that I will either wait till this game plummets in price or wait until I have a 100% free weekend and rent the game.
Don't have the game yet, but I'll be sure to get it soon.
Just one question though... are the voice actors the same as in Xenosaga 1 or 2?
I really didn't like KOS-MOS's voice in Xenosaga 2. It was much better in Xenosaga 1. But yeah... how are the voices in Xenosaga 3?
KOS-MOS : Episode I voice (YEAH!)
Shion : Episode I voice
Ziggy : Same as I & II
Jr. : Same as I & II
Chaos : Episode II....
Jin : Same as episode II... I think
MOMO : Same as Episode II
I doubt I'll ever play this since it has tons of story and it's kind of confusing. I neverl iked the battle system of the first game and I heard the second one's more annoying. Plus I really don't like the fact that I'll be spending more time watching the game then actually playing it.
