Final Fantasy VI has IMO the best story ever in a game and that isn't heavily laden with FMVs at all

yes but you pressed x a whole lot. I mean, instead of watching people talk.. you instead pressed x and read text.... if you like that's more that's fine... it's just in most jrpg's pressing x with text boxes was replaced with in game cutscenes etc.... like Xenogears. Is just as wordy as Xenosaga. Instead of pressing x... there's cutscenese galore.

I played FFVI on the GBA so it would be 'A' ;)

I know what you mean though, myself I quite like it when the game is still quite text heavy but still has its fair share of clip scenes, the DS remake of FFIV comes to mind (even though they could have fitted quite a few more FMVs on the DS card, they kept them fairly limited) or maybe to a lesser degree something like Tales of Syphonia, Skies of Arcadia or Zelda Twilight Princess.

Also about Xenogears, I've never played it as it still hasn't made it's way over to Europe, but isn't it's second disc just like one long FMV
