    Don't people usually ask if a game is good if they're interested in buying it? You have the game.. go find out.

    Lots of people didn't like it, I however enjoyed it. Honestly it was quite awhile ago, and I've played 3 since, so I don't exactly remember it, but I enjoyed all 3 of them so it must've been good(to me).

    It wasn't planned, but completely spontaineous, cause it only cost £5.00

    Its not a bad game, though it has really long cutscenes which can be a turnoff.

    I like it. The music is better. Although I don't like the new character designs they graphics are smoother. Some of the new voice actors are bad too. But again the music is awesome and so is the story. The post game is pretty fun too.

    I stopped with the Xenosaga series after the first game. Determined not to deal with the lame bonus DVD telling you what happened in Xenosaga I that comes with Xenosaga II in the UK. I imported the original. I really liked Xenogears but hated Xenosaga so much. Everything in that game is off, the characters, story...everything. Cant imagine the sequel is any better.

    I still need to play through this game too. I hear Xenosaga III is a great improvement, so playing through II would be worth it to get to III.

    Xenosaga III is about the most perfected version of the Xenosaga... saga (nice amount of storytelling and Actual >>>good<<< gameplay).

    Xenosaga II has especially lengthy storyline cutscenes (Think you'll enjoy it if you like watching Anime and stuff :]).

    I absolutely enjoyed Xenosaga II. Though I was very frustrated with the battle system because I only figured out how to properly use it at the final boss.

    In Australia, Xenosaga II came with an 8 hour movie of Xenosaga I. I didn't mind watching it, but would rather play it.

    Still waiting for Xenosaga III to come out here. =\


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    Yeah, it was alright, but I'd still rather just play it.

    By the way, the (SPOILER)sword fight between Jin and Margulis was absolutely awesome.

    I'm pretty sure it was just of the FMVs in Episode I. Some of Episode I's FMVs lasted upwards of half an hour.

    Dude, we actually got to play the game. The PAL countries just got to watch the game. You'd rather watch the game than play it? And the PAL countries got the Dark Aeons because of the especially long amount of time they had to wait for the game, at least a half a year longer than they should have had to wait. They might get a few perks here and there but they pay for them, trust.

    I liked Xenosaga II, but it was my least favorite of the three, not to say it was bad at all, just my least favorite.

    As a Xenosaga fanatic, my extremely biased opinion says it's awesome. Episode II was the weak link, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it a lot. I actually liked its battle system better than the first, but I seem to be on a lone branch with that one. I wish there was more plot in it though. Soraya Saga, who was pretty much the main writer before they more-or-less fired her, even listed all the things they cut out before Namco made her take it off her website (it was a hella lot).

    My big hint for Episode II: Use MOMO or Shion, one or the other (MOMO is the better choice gameplay-wise). People think they suck, but they are the only ones capable of truly hurting some enemies.
