    Im just curious as to if anyone here played this *awesome* RPG.In my opinion its the best.It had the best story in any RPG,and the battle system was the best.

    So......anyone else here like it?

    I haven't played in a REALLY long time, but I enjoyed it when I did. Only complaint would be that I remember how hard it was to gain levels...and how much harder it was to actually catch up when you're behind in them...:confused:

    Either way, it was a fun game...and the storyline (from what I can remember) was really interesting.

    Yes, after all the hordes of Xeno fans, I *had* to play it... Most of thsoe who like this game, stake their lives that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread...

    I should've stuck with the bread.

    The combat system is interesting, and reminds me of some kind of messed up fighting game. It was neat to see how I could build up skills with certain combinations...But combat was usually more of an annoyance than anything. Battles were either so simple I could turn my head the other way to win, or so insanely hard it took twenty game loads to win (well, I only encountered about two of these)...

    Anime cutscenes are always a bonus, even when poorly dubbed. :p

    The story, which was the main focus of argument for the game for supporters, didn't rub me the right way. I found it a snorefest, maybe just because it was the 30th RPG in line for me, and everything seemed to run off what had been done before... All the "plot twists" and "surprises" had already been figured out by me before I got there...and after 30-40 hours, I just was sick and tired of pushing myself through it.

    I'm sure it's a great game... but that's my own take... you asked, sorta.

    I played it and I didnt finish it because it was really boring. The story is interesting, but its taking to long to unravel the characters' secrets and understand the story. I got bored with it and started playing other games.

    It's just another one of those kick *** games that never got a PAL release, and so I haven't played it, but sure as hell want to. As a matter of fact, I believe Final Fantasy VII was the first ever Square game to be released over here(with the possible exception of FFI), and FFIV-VI were only released for the first time(including the snes) within the past 3 months or so. 'Tis pity 'tis true, but 'tis true 'tis pity.

    I really want to play it, but I don't know where I can get it... I tried ordering it and it is always out of stock! And there is only the second-hand one! which I don't want ot buy!

    I got the game preowned in mint condition at Electronic Boutique, its a cool game with lots of plot twists and cool anime cut scenes. The fighting system is pretty neat too, with different moves for different button orders.

    gonna get me Xenosaga ;)

    The game is pretty cool, but it ain't the best Square Game I played. FFVII is up there and Xenogear is about five floors down.
