Xenosaga was, basically, the struggle against Wilhelm's plans. By games end, I fully understood what Wilhelm wanted to do, and why he did it. Hell, I could even sypmathise with him. I understood the nature of The Testamants, and why groups like The Cardinal Fleet, V-Tech, and Dmitri were all involved, as well as understanding all of their motivations and why they were nescessary to the plot.

It may be vastly different from Takahada's original vision, but as a story on it's own, I don't see what was cut from the main plot. (Though again, some of the other elements of the worlds, like the Realian story, seemed saddly pushed to the side.)

That may be the only thing that boggles me about what you are saying.

Edit: Perhaps the problem here is the term 'Cut' doesn't really apply here, considering how much was probably altered entirely.
Lol, you can accept Xenosaga if you want. You can always turn a blind eye to what it was originally meant to be and what it ended up being if you want to (again it is probably much easier for you to do this since you did not play Xenogears until recently and really don't have any clue what the full story of the Xeno franchise is supposed to be).

However I do know what Xenosaga was supposed to be and everything it failed to accomplish. You can act as naive as you want to when it comes to Xenosaga but it still doesn't change the fact that Xenosaga in no way shape or form accomplished what it was created to do in the first place. If I didn't know all the history of the Xeno franchise I would of probably liked the Xenosaga series a lot more as well.
