One of the greatest media transcending literary works of all time IMO. |
I wouldn't go that far personally. While I very much enjoyed xenogears story, and I believe it would be an above-average novel if written in that format, it certainly has many faults which would prevent it from being one of the "greatest literary works of all time." For a video game story it is excellent, and even if we are going to compare it to much of the fiction found in the novel format it is good/above-average, but certainly it wouldn't be anything spectactular as far as literatue goes. And that is fine, because it fits the role of a video game, and has a unique layer of complexity.
