Not a Toriyama fan, though I don't dislike him either. Xenogears' style is definitely my preference here.

And music? Heck, I barely remember any music from CT that's not the main theme or a variation of it. Xenogears I still remember plenty. Odd because CT was also composed by Mitsuda, but eh. I guess I'm a "PSX-era Mitsuda is best Mitsuda" guy.
