Okay this is getting ridiculus, i gotta say though the Xeno series was good, but meh...

Guess i'll name a game from the PS1 era, ... hmm i dunno maybe... Final Fantasy VII?

 

I'm talking about XenoGEARS from the PS1 not Xenosaga.

Arent they... like in the same universe? or something like that?

No.

The op is right xenogears is the best rpg ever made,

name other rpg that has nietzsche and freudian concepts aplied to its story

the soundtrack is near perfect,and has an original and fun battle system
technically speaking none other rpg comes close,but opinions are opinions right!!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords basically had you running around with Nietzsche in the form of Kreia, and every single major character was like an expression of his concepts.

God almighty that was a good game.



^yes great game too!!



Use power for the right things. At least for the things that you believe in.

Final Fantasy VI is better. Xenogears 2nd. Because the soundtracks in Xenogears is shorter than those in FFV, and level design is not good enough.



^ I Think you need to replay xenogears,the soundtrack is vastly and the levels are full 3D and very well detailed

So tossing in some existential themes and outdated psychological theories makes it a better game?

Xenogears had the potential to be the greatest RPG of all time, but it suffers from fundamental flaws that keep it from being all that high on the list. Some of these weren't even really the fault of the devs: when Square pulls your funding and you've only just barely finished the first disc, what can you do?



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
