Just got both in the mail. I'll play SO3 first then move on to Xenosaga. Any starting tips for SO3?

Sometime, dungeon are very long, pacing can also be anoying, at certain time there will be cutscene each 10 minutes and after that there will not be any for 2-3 hours. So starting tip would be to not get discourage when the dungeon are long because you will be reward with a great story after. Enjoy! Between, Xenosaga is a lot better ;). Star ocean has better gameplay but when it comes to story, pacing and cutscene it doesnt hold a candle against Xeno.

Xenosaga has its own pacing problems.  In the first 6 hours of the game, only about 1 and a half hours are actual gameplay or so I've heard.
