I said XenoSAGA not XenoGEARS.

These two series did a battle system switcheroo in their respective sequals/prequals.

That's the same mentality that anti-MGS gamers(i.e. Zero Punction) have towards the MGS series: "if a single plot plot is confusing to any extent, then the story is poorly-written and incoherent".  However, those haters are in a vast minority because I hear way more praise than than criticism for the story of the series.  Most gamers realize that Hideo Kojima actually put a hidden message into MGS's storyline.  Same thing with Tetsuya Takahashi putting a few hidden messages of his own in Xenogears(and later in Xenosaga).

Thats the thing you don't get it so you toss the monologues aside as long and boring.But people like me who understands the story knows just how awesome, deep, and emotional it was.

my bad

So you consider insulting the intellegence of gamers to be "the real genius of storytelling"?  Do you even know what you are saying?

I don't think everything can be explained in an easy to understand way. There are people with IQ's over a 180 with minds able to grasp or percieve far greater/more brilliant things than our own. Translating that into understandable terms is not always possible, if it were then everyone would be a mensa member. Read any of Kants books, he's perhaps the most credited philosopher in our history yet his writing is extremely difficult to grasp and decipher.

I'm not saying the writer of Xenogears is comparable to Kant, obviously not, what I'm saying is that not everything can be translated to a level of simplicity understandable to everyone and that does not make something necessarily bad. People have limits to their intelligence, but there is a very small group of people who are far beyond the average limitations and they should be allowed to express themselves whether it is "commercially" understandable or not.

Again, if someone doesn't get the Jung references, that's fine, but what's wrong with designing a game with a more cultured audience in mind?

Again, I'm just throwing that out there, I do not consider xenogears comparable to a mensa journal, but the notion that something confusing is the equivalent of bad should be dispelled.

Xenosaga is no where near as complex as Xenogears either

Both r really amazing games and so was Legend Of Dragoon too there the top 3 rpg

It's a matrter of ambiguity. Not everything needs to be explained, and those aspects of the storyline are there to be interpreted and connected by you.

Ironically, many people complain about MGS2 beating them over the head with it's storyline, yet it remains the most ambigious and open to interpretation chapter of the series.
