I didn't think Xenosaga 1 was that confusing :/ I had to go into the UMN database a bunch of times but it was usually for background information. I think in the game there was only one time where I didn't understand something in the story that the UMN fully explained and that was during the whole Cherenkov flashback and how his wife cloned herself for a daughter. It was explained in more detail in one of the database entries and the requirements for cloning yourself due to government laws, etc.

Other than that you're usually looking into the database to understand what certain terms and stuff meant like the UMN or Rubedo/Nigredo/Albedo (unless you already did research about those 3 terms before playing you'd never know those names had to do with alchemy and how each character's story fits in with what those alchemic terms meant) or ubersoldier, etc. They couldn't have explained every single detail in the story, it would be too much filler. That's why they added the database in the first place.

what soriku says. As i am scatterbrained and think too many things at once :P

edit @soriku... the thing I thought was worst about xenosaga was how the halways/whateverways had no music D:
