I used to own this game...I do not recall how far I got...some floating city thingy.
I still had no idea where the story was going but it was odd that there was a painting of Elly that was umpteen hundred years old. I've tried reading synopses of the story before but my mind just turns to jelly as I stare blankly at the mountain of text it takes to explain the mothersmurfer.
Oh jeez, I was annoyed enough by the text dump at the beginning of the game.
Just learned about the Omnigear.
Fei: Is there a chance one of our gears could be it?
Bart: Yeah, what are the chances of THAT happening!
Fei's gear is the Omnigear, isn't it?
Oh, good. 'Cause that would've been too obvious.
I'm currently in Aven at the moment with Fei, Bart, and Citan.
Citan is a beast.
I'm the only one who kind of doesn't like Citan. I mean I like him fine but he got on my nerves. We get it, he's pretty close to perfect. Except for his minor flaws and backstory trying to show he isn't perfect just leading him to seeming more perfect
It's like the girls who are like "I'm not beautiful, I have this one misplaced freckle!"

We like Citan in this thread
He's under one of those tropes (creator's pet I think) saying the same thing I just saidYou're saying he's a Mart Stu.

Without Citan we wouldn't have Jin in Xenosaga and Dunban in Xenoblade. Can't remember much of Jin, but Dunban is frigging amazing.He's under one of those tropes (creator's pet I think) saying the same thing I just saidYou're saying he's a Mart Stu.

EDIT: Just noticed I'd written Jon instead of Jin. Jon Uzuki. Amazing.
Jin's alright. He's a cool dude
The tropes are wrong!
So far I like the God versus Man thing the game has going for it. Usually they throw the god/godlike being at you later into the game and it's like, "Yeah, you have to beat a god now." and this game actually has it more fleshed out into the story. It's cool.
Have you played Xenosaga? If you like Xenogears it's worth looking in to
Are you familiar with Gnosticism?The tropes are wrong!

Because this game REALLY goes far beyond the usual "God is evil, kill God" schtick.
I have the first game and played it years ago. I got pretty far before getting stuck. I can't even remember where I left off at it's been so long.
Yes. Used to study the Berlin Gnostic Codex back in my old church.Are you familiar with Gnosticism?The tropes are wrong!
