I agree with the OP on xenogears, and then I look at other gems like Legend of Legaia's amazing combo system for an RPG. But I will always stand by Valkyrie Profile having the absolute best battle system for an RPG EVER! It was one of the few games that I didn't mind getting into battles, and choosing if you wanted to fight since enemies are seen on screen. But I will also say that I liked Valkyrie Profile 2's system a little better since you are now able to move around the battlefield and split up your party of 4 to pinzer attack or attack enemies in so many ways with so many different combos. Anyone in this thread who has not played both Valkyrie Profile games I urge you to play them, along with Legend of Legaia.
