 Xenogears - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xenogears' gameplay format is standard for console RPGs: the main characters advance the plot by traversing the game's world, which includes cities in the sky, vast deserts, and arcane ruins.
In a press release by Square announcing the release of Xenogears in Japan, it was stated that the game's treatment of Christianity may prevent it from being released outside of Japan.
Throughout the game, various characters with different strengths and weaknesses join the main protagonist, Fei Fong Wong, in his journey.

 iB::Topic::Xenogears - It's a MOVIE, not a game
Xenogears was an epic game that broke a lot of moulds, but yes; if you're an RPG traditionalist, and stats and battles are what float your boat then a heavily story based RPG is probably not going to be for you...
Anyway, xenogears is by far the best game i have ever played, and there is an obvious abundance of gameplay, not to mention the gameplay is very fun.
Xenogears, (like Xenosaga, except not as abusive in holding back the story) is a love or hate game.

 AllRPG.com - Xenogears - Review
On top of that, Xenogears is a very challenging game.
Xenogears begins with an amazing Sci-Fi anime intro, which oddly enough seems to have no real relevance to the world, which you are shortly introduced to.
Without a doubt, Xenogears has one of the most brilliantly crafted and detailed stories seen in gaming thus far.

 Xenogears - Review
Combat in Xenogears is complex as any other aspect of the game.
Xenogears is a game that polarizes people's opinions.
While some people may have qualms with certain other aspects of the game, the only definite flaw in Xenogears is the pacing.

 Into Liquid Sky - Game Reviews
Xenogears fighting system is composed of two different combat systems that are linked to each other and built from the basics of previous games.
Also available later in the game is a Battle Arena mini-game where the player can fight other Gears in a real-time combat, like a fighter-style ZOE or Armored Core.
On the other hand, the final boss(es) for the Gear combat is an excellent finale to a great game.

 RPGFan Reviews - Xenogears
Graphics is another important part of a game, and Xenogears has as much of a montage of graphical styles as it does gameplay elements.
Also, the majority of the game is contained on the first disc, and so little is done with the second disc that the game should have had more in it spread over both CDs.
The vertical component of this game is truly a blessing and gives this game a high rating on the control scale.

 Xenogears Original Soundtrack : SoundtrackCentral.com
Chrono Trigger is a very light-hearted game, Xenogears is not.
Anyone who will play this game will be astounded by the soundtrack.
As of yet, I haven't played Xenogears itself, but if the game itself is as stunning as the music, I'll have reason to celebrate.

 Xenogears - PlayStation Review
Xenogears will probably take around 50-60 hours for most players (that is, if they’ve played RPGs before).
Xenogears ’ battle system(s) also make use of a type of magic called “Ether.” You use EP (Ether Points) to perform Ether abilities, and you gain new Ether abilities through leveling up.
Unfortunately, with Xenogears, the gameplay was placed way back on the priority list, so it is plagued by some serious problems.

 "XENOGEARS"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
But of all the games I've played, Xenogears is the only one that offended me, if only a bit.
Xenogears can probably be seen as offensive in terms of its often overblown attempt to work Christianity into a game setting without properly understanding it.
You see, Xenogears isn't like most games, it isn't even like most RPGs, whereas a lot of games concentrate mainly on gameplay and action, Xenogears concentrates almost exclusivley on its elaborate story.

 PSGF: Xenogears Review
The battles on XenoGears are the one thing that keeps you in to the game.
When it was created, before the merger of SquareSoft and Electronics Arts (now known as Square Electronic Arts Ltd.), Square of Japan had the idea of making a game that the Japanese game market could appreciate and accept.
To win a battle in XenoGears, you can't just sit there and lazily push one button every time a battle comes up.

 Square Universe - www.squareuniverse.net
Square seems to be taking their games up from the traditional RPG with the inclusion of more 3D environments, allowing more in-depth exploration while going even further to advance the battle systems enjoyment and versatility.
Square, famed for making some very interesting games within games, has made a fighting mini-game that challenges the likes of the most popular fighting games.
Should you decide to give this game a try, be prepared to isolate yourself with your Playstation; this game is long and highly addictive.

 IGN Boards - Xenogears is overrated.
[http://games.ign.com/] IGN Boards » All Game Boards (Free) » Xenosaga »; Xenogears is overrated.
I'm not trying to say Xenosaga is better than Xenogears; I'm just trying to say that Xenogears is not the holy grail of games, and that XS does have its strong points over XG.
While Xenogears' gameplay is certainly unique, there's not nearly as much to it as XS1's.

 AllRPG.com - Xenogears - Review
Well, clear some space out of that classics shelf because a new game is here to stay - and that game is (you guessed it) Xenogears.
Full 3D games nowadays like Vagrant Story and Gran Tourismo 2 look a lot more glamourous than Xenogears, which can be at times quite basic.
The graphics in the game are full 3D - not like the pre-rendered backdrops of Final Fantasy 7-9 or Chrono Cross, and the characters are 2D sprites.

 SquareSound (v.2) :: Xenogears Original Soundtrack :: Review by Aevloss
Following the release of Square's classic Final Fantasy VII in 1997, the company was pressurised by fans into making a new game of the same standard in regards to storyline and music.
In the American version, the awful anime dub limits the enjoyment of the ending sequence, which is riddled with religious symbolism defining Fei and Elly as Adam and Eve and leaving questions about Krelian still untold.
"The Beginning and the End" is another track that is hard to appreciate unless you have played Xenogears itself.

 Game Revolution Review Page - Game Revolution
All ranting aside, Xenogears is an excellent game if you stick with it.

 Guardian Angels - Official Xenogears Merchandise
If you liked the music while playing Xenogears, this is a natural purchase to make, and I definitely recommend it.
If you didn't get them when they were around (that would be what, five years ago?), your best bet is to search on eBay, and if you're lucky, you won't have to spend a fortune to get what you want.
As far as I know this was a limited release, so they probably don't have any copies on hand.

 IGN: Xenogears Review
Some people may also feel that there are too many story-related cinemas and that the plot is too confusing to follow, but immersion is a key factor in Xenogears and the questions you may have about the storyline are all answered at some point in the game.
And the effort definitely pays off by making the players feel like they have an unlimited amount of freedom in exploring the world within the game; and by giving them the flexibility to experience it in a variety of ways.
October 20, 1998 - When Squaresoft first announced from its Japanese offices that the latest RPG in development, Xenogears, might not make it to US shores due to "sensitive religious issues," many RPG fans in North America were shaken.

 Amazon.com: Xenogears: Original Soundtrack: Music: Yasunori Mitsuda
"Xenogears" was a very story-driven RPG, even for a Square title, and contained very heavy idealisms and thought-provoking concepts, so the music especially had to set a defined mood and atmosphere throughout the course of the game.
Not many people got a chance to play Xenogears when it was released in 1997.
As things go, it sold out very quickly, and Squaresoft was left with a number of consumers demanding the hit title.

 Flame Bait Discussion: Xenogears
Basically, if you'd willing to put up with a lot for a potentially good story, playing this game might be worth it, but the 15-20 hour entrance fee to just when the story starts to get "good" to the 60+ hours it will take you to beat it, that's a pretty steep price to pay.
I think that a good game should end with a player feeling satisfied.
