I couldn't get through an hour of Xenosaga before I felt I had to give up on the game. It just felt so boring. The fighting system wasn't fun. Whatever virtual reality video game program you start the game off in was so bleh in artistic design, level design, enemy variation. It takes a lot for an RPG to turn me off after an hour. Luckily it was only like $6 used.

You should have asked about it before you bought it Soriku. I would have mailed you my copy.

Its true that the gameplay and stages werent it strong point, but damn, the story and cutscene are so awesome that its one of the best PS2 RPG for me. I think you should give it another try, theres some amazing cutscene with KOS-MOS that last litterally anywhere form 30 minutes to 1 hour. And they really do are amazing, when she use her un-human statistic to justify her action, its simply awesome ;). Hope they will bring a good jRPG, story focus on Wii.

Thanks. You've just turned me off from it even more. 60+ hours of plodding gameplay and bland art design so I can be treated to CG cutscenes as my payoff? They have a nice workaround for that which cuts out the middle man. It's called a movie. Maybe that's what Xenosaga should have been. Or maybe an anime or something.
