I haven't read many of the above comments and here is my take:
I played it last summer. If you are looking for an old-school RPG this is where to look! The combat is different than most turn-based RPGs, the Mech combat is neat. The storyline is the gold. Absolutely incredible story.
Disc 1 is just incredible. Disc 2 they had budgeting issues so it is more of an interactive story.
This game made me play Xenosaga 1-3, and then Xenogears. Overall these games are some of my favourite story-wise of all time.
