  • Just so you know:

    This game was almost banned in the US for "religious controversies".

    This was the same reason in Europe.

    At the time, Yugoslavia had fallen apart. There was a guy called Mladic...to cut a long story short, he was to the Muslims what Hitler was to the Jews. This was probably the reason that to this day the game can't be bought in Europe.

  • how can u dislike this game, this were the times when square actually cared about their players

  • just so everyone knows, this game is on PSN... sheeeeesh. all this talk of pirating.. really/.

  • I'm starting to think that there is a "Jerk League" , consisting of 9 members that go and dislike many videos.

    It's the 9th video that I watch tonight and every single one had 9 dislikes...

    Fuck you, haters.

  • wish squaresoft back in the good old day did more xenogears games besides final fantasy.

  • @Kim1987sc What does Xenogears have to do with Final Fantasy? They're two different series.

  • @cb52211 Well I was referring to the publisher and developer squaresoft (now square-enix) that developed both games.

  • Holy mother of god, this looks amazing. Why haven't I played this yet?!

    And why does Square churn out the shit they do now when they used to be capable of this?

  • I bought this off PSN after wanting to play it for many, many years. Absolutely the best $10 I ever spent. Fantastic game. Square truly were peerless in their prime.

  • @Raminess I honestly dont remember how or when i got this game but it was many years ago. took a little to get into and forever to fully understand the mechanics but this is def in my top 5 games ever played. still struggle on the story but i plan on playing it over winter break again

  • The only game that even comes close to touching Xenogears is FFT, FFVII is a close third.

  • Gives me the god damn chills every fucking time.

  • I was a kid in grade school, sick with bronchitis and out for a week when my dad brought this home.  It was the best week of my life. 20 years later, I still pull out the PS1 to play this game every now and then. For me, it's possibly the greatest RPG of all time.

  • Don't know why square doesn't remake this. And correct the wrongs they did with disk 2

  • Hell Yeah Great Game

  • Was this game even good?

  • @iEatGummyWormz

    Good?

    It was the fucking best game of all times.

  • @iEatGummyWormz

    What kind of question is that!?

    Are you insinuating that it looks bad? One of the best games on the PS1.

  • i'v played this game far into the 2nd disk....and i still have no idea what this intro had to do with the game...-_-

  • @VictorVonFox Well then, I can say that you didn't care much about the plot, because the intro have very much to do with it.

    If you play it again in the future, I recommend to you to keep close attention to Miang's story... If not, you can dig in the internet for the Eldrige's Story (that's the name of the ship). That shall clarify some things for you..

  • @VictorVonFox I feel you. I played it 3 or 4 times before EVERYTHING clicked. Each playthrough it got a little clearer. Man elementary school was a great time.

  • @VictorVonFox

    This is a game you have to play more than once to understand. This intro has a lot to do with the story.

  • Everyone can get back to those old days of great RPGs. Its very simple. Download a Play Station Emulator, configure it (i would recommend to see it in Youtube to configure it in the right way), download the rom of the rpg u want in Google and....thats it.. enjoy your Rpg :)

  • @Ditjani OR get a psp. install a custom firmware then download the isos.

  • The best RPG of all time.

  • Heh, no need for an evacuation, as it turns out.

  • @2:33 eyes are the gateway to the soul: trapped in time.

  • ... and a Fiend.

  • Don't sweat it bro, I got this - Fei Fong Long

  • @squareXOtriangle In many ways this game feels very dated, but it is far, far more epic than the ME games in scope, and the story, while garbled in many aspects, is more ambitious than in any other game I have played...it has some awesome moments

  • I'm always undecided whether to consider this game one of my favorites because the second disc was so excruciating. However I will say that it's a unique game and a definite must play.

  • for me, this game has the best story line among other RPGs out there, FF is better in term of gameplay but Xenogears' story is deeper, darker, and meant for adults....its my opinion though :)

  • in game is a overrated piece of shit

  • @AVGNZero silly boy is silly :D

  • Best game I ever played in my life... I still play it today and the story grabs me EVERY time.... I thank you for giving me this game Squaresoft.

  • My 2nd favorite game of all time....

  • Wait, did they say I should "evacuate"? I didn't hear them the first thousand times.

  • This the best game I have played after FFVII..

  • was the girl at the end miang?

  • @turtleboat No that is the "Mother", she splits later into "the weapon"(Miang) and "The protector"(Elly) ...if my memory is working well.

  • The time period of the decade this came out should be considered the golden age of RPGs. As to suggest good options for buying this, I would recommend Amazon. Also consider Planescape Torment and Deus Ex for those not considering PC for good RPG storylines. Xenogears, FF3/6, FF7 and Chrono Trigger. . . Squaresoft hasn't really been able to return to this period in their innovation, or at least I've failed to enjoy subsequent games that don't inspire me to continue playing them.

  • @CatoptricCistula

    Graphics don't replace original storyline and compelling characters. Even Square forgot that I guess.

  • just sold a first release copy of this game that ive owned for over a decade for over $300. THATS how good this game is.

  • God I miss this game. It had the coolest story ever for an RPG.

  • I like how long this game is. I just played it for the first time on ps3, and after Solaris I found out their was a disk 2 after playing 45 hours. That made me very happy :)

  • wish they release it on xbox 360 games. damn I miss this game so much!

  • this game is pure ARTWORK on RPG history along with Planescape : Torment

  • Over all this game reminds me of the Human Instrumentality Project

  • Comment removed

  • Ordered this today on Amazon. Can't WAIT to start playing it!

  • "If God does not exist in this world then I will create God with my own hands"

    - Krelian

  • "I am Alpha and Omega,

    the beginning and the end,

    the first and the last."

    Getting both this and FFVII as my first two PS1 games at the same time, I suppose that there were various reasons as to why this game appealed to me over VII at the time. But above all, that intro blew my mind when I was younger.

    I am just a little upset that my sister lost the instruction booklet to the game + case. But as long as the game still works, I am satisfied.

  • This game changed me. I was crying like a baby when I played it. I absolutely love it and i doubt I will ever be touched like that ever again by any other. It was truly epic to play it. I still until this day think about it now and then. So many feelings... Wow!

  • I remember this!! I never got a chance to play it, but a good YT buddy of mine said it's AWESOME!! I mainly remember the ad for Xenogears in a magazine. It had the epic quote, "Stand tall, shake the Heavens!

  • This is wat Sony used to be all about back in the day; kick ass RPG games like Final Fantasy series, Legend of Dragoon series and this + fun adventure games like Crash and Spyro

    Now they're just like Microsoft, they release decent games just like Microsoft so they can focus solely on Graphics

    Their RPG games suck now and they stopped releasing fun adventure games like Crash and Spyro

  • i just noticed that they used part of the verse from fallout 3 in this game....other way around that is

  • engine room...?

  • greatest video game of all time

  • its a shame discs 3 and 4 were chopped from what they were supposed to be because of funding. they could have made the game so much better. still a very good game.

  • They really need to release this game again, a director's cut version or something, because it was technically unfinished.

  • I miss this game sooooo much! I wish there was someway i could still play it :(

  • Ah, this scene is where the entire animation budget for the game must have gone. you know, since there isn't even one other decent cinematic - not even the ending :/

    Not that I care much for cutscenes. Just noting another indication that this game went over budget and the second half was rushed.

  • @taicleis Second half seemed to have more story than they could fit into the game with all of the narration done to explain the story. Could have probably fit several discs.

  • the problem with this game is that its sooooo hard to find these days id really like to get my hands on a copy

  • @Jsdawson27 Actually, it isn't difficult. Just go to amazon dot com, half dot com, etc. and look it up.  Plenty of copies available new and used to be found - of course the brand new copies you will pay a high price for since they are out of print.

  • @Jsdawson27 You've got a solution dude use piratebay. They have your game their. Im dowloading it right now :)

  • @wydtron yeah i got the iso of it and an emulator i been playing it i want a hard copy of it though to add to my collection

  • @Jsdawson27 it used to be on the PSN store, but we all see where that's going

  • @Jsdawson27 If you have a ps3, you can download it.

  • @Jsdawson27 PSN Store brother

  • @Jsdawson27

    Its on the PSN store if you live in North America... Wish they would release it in Europe so I could play it on my PS3 instead of my ps2.

  • @Jsdawson27 I think you can buy a downloadable version in the psn store, Ive seen a mint copy in a private game store near where I live aswell.

  • @Jsdawson27 I feel the pain I lost my original but found it again used for $80

  • @Runnersfree It seriously goes for that these days? o_O I remember when it was like $20 used.

  • The japanese voice is better than the american voice :/

    IMHO

  • I just finished the game. Wow...

    It's amazing this intro is about 15000 years prior to the game.

  • I still have Xenogears from 10 years ago... I never did get very far. Is it too late to start anew?

  • @cpufightclub never too late to learn how to live man!

    

  • @asadianphoto that is true, but playing a video game is not what I could call living.

  • It's a great game for sure, but if Square would have put full financial backing... I mean, shit, could you imagine the second disc being playable? I already clocked in over eighty hours or something on my first play through yearssss ago, but the game was technically cut short due to production costs.

  • I agree with the op, this game will change you. It was and always will be the greatest RPG ever.

  • Deus's full body appears super briefly @ 3:17!

  • i was thinking of getting this game and just wondered what it is it really about? I also wondered if there is a relation between this and the xenosaga series?

  • @3blindmiceplus1more xenosaga series is part of the universe. events happen millenia before the story of xenogears. go play it. this game makes people see more.

  • It's cool how most of the game the intro makes no sense until much later on

  • I'm going to play this game now. There seems to be something Evangelion-esque about this game, too bad Square Enix didn't go furhter in this direction and generally started producing worse games than Squaresoft did

  • i remember watching this as a 5 year old on my square enix (at the time square soft) demo disc and nearly shitting my pants of the epicness that surrounded me

  • this game is out on the ps3 psn

  • Can anyone message me and explain the relevance of that really big ship? Still working on beating it and honestly I don't care about spoilers so you can tell me.

  • @Mahbu I would help and tell you about the ship and Deus, but I couldn't bring myself to spoil any part of this story. It's a special game...

  • @CainCrimsonCreation

    I ended up going to wikipedia. It all makes a whole lot more sense now.

  • @Mahbu fuckin wikipedia! lol

  • @CainCrimsonCreation

    When a person asks to be spoiled, it's better just to do it. =P

  • :D Releasing on the PSN this week. Never got a chance to play it on the PS1, so I'll definitely check it out.

  • Nice to see a corded phone being used in the future

  • "i am evacuating the ship. all of you evacuate. now"

    calmest captain ever or worst voice actor ever? both?

  • one of the best RPG games I have ever played... I remember playing this game for hours when i was just a teen... brings back some memories... I wish I could have just a few minutes now to play it again... life is unfair :(

  • one of my all time favorite games... cant say the same for the three sagas =/ even though you do get to see weltall in part 3

  • Xenogears - most Epic PS1 rpg for its time. Imagine how all of this ingame ships and robots looks on Unreal Engin 3 or new Crytek engine. Ahh - I want remake. :P

  • This game rocked....but its prequels......*sigh*

  • Best game of all time. Easily. Hoping for a remake or Chapter V-VI

  • best intro

  • Comment removed

  • k, ive played and beaten xenosaga episode 1, as well as episode 3, but ive never played this, xenogears. does it have any relevance to the xenosaga franchise? it seems that way, plus the music is extremely reminiscent of the xenosaga games, but im just not sure. anyone?

  • @19wayfarer19 : Xenosaga is basically a reboot of Xenogears, some ideas are taken from Xenogears (Zohar and stuff) but they're not connected. Anyway you should play it because it's much better than Xenosaga (although Xenosaga is still great).

  • @treznorify I was never able to finish Xenosaga. I believe I beat the fist one then just gave up on the second. I reckon I was hoping to relive my xenogears experience but of course that wasn;t the case. I might go back and play that game. Looking back, there are a few keystone games of my youth that I never finished but I would like to go back: Shenmue, Vagrant Story, and Parasite Eve (Not sure if I finished it).

  • @treznorify right on man, thanks alot. the only thing is, its not a very easy game to come by. right now, (for ps1 games) its a toss up for my next buy between xenogears, vagrant story, and final fantasy chronicles (just for chrono trigger). but im thinkin ill get xenogears; i have CT on an emulator, cause i sold my SNES (dumb, i know), and ive had it up to here with ivalice, though vagrant story looks amazingly in depth.

  • every time i think of this game like...NOW i need to PLAY it!!!!!!! god its so good! and my cds always fuck up at end so i never enjoy full ending. but anyways onto the video...DEUS IS A ASSHOLE!!!!

  • wow it looks 3d but 2d in a way O.O

  • This intro definitely has an "Evangelion" feel to it, doesn't it?

  • The best "THING" in scifi history, not only in games.

    No movie, anime, manga, novel or game will ever surpass Xenogears.

    Intelligent young ppl reading this, dnt let the graphics scare you away, you absolutely have to play this game, your lives will never be the same :D

  • @MasterInzaghi yeah, you are right! This game took away about 250 h from my life(I have played it about 5 times) and I don't regret it. It' so epic, so great characters(i like Krelian the most). The plot is astonishing, very mature and deep..and the music!! Greetings from Poland(sorry for my bad english)

  • @terminzawity Krelian is probably the best villain of all times, his class is unmatched, and he was my fav character too :D

    Let's all pray for a next-gen remake, so we can finish it AGAIN !! :D

    GrtZ from Belgium (and ur english is very good ;) )

  • @MasterInzaghi I think that next-gen reamake is great idea. But I would like them not to change the plot and scenerio because it may go worse; they could improve graphics, put more anime cut scenes an also put some extra scenarios(like the one with Emeralda) and dungeons(like in Star Ocean II ) so we could enjoy this fantastic game more; believe me I was thinking about it also:); lets pray together:)

  • @MasterInzaghi you got that right, i saw my 2 older brothers play this back in the ps 1 and i'm gonna buy this in the ps network for my ps 3. even if the graphics are still ps 1, theres still the quality in the story and characters and gameplay

  • @MasterInzaghi Sorry but Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3 FES and 4 did.

  • @MasterInzaghi system shock and space odyssey are superior :<

  • @MasterInzaghi The game's story is complex, long, amazing. Environments are varied, each charactr drawn out to unbelievable scale. In my book, this is still THE best RPG out there, even surpassing FFVII.

  • Comment removed

  • Respond to this video... shame the last 1/2 was rushed and it didnt get a remake as part of Saga like was planed

    would of loved to see how it was all going to tie in

    i shat a brick when i played the first part of Saga and heard the passcode for COSMOS O.o

  • @MasterInzaghi Once I'm finished with Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, and StarCraft, I may get around to playing through this game.

  • @MasterInzaghi

    amen to that my good sir

  • i've stopped playing console games after having finished xenogears in 98. i knew nothing could come close to it.

  • Still the best game ever made

  • Oh man I've played it on the old PS1, now I'm playing Xenosaga and I don't remember a thing from Xenogears =/

  • dont really understand this part

  • @bluedeath87 You will soon with all due time.

  • I'm just about to start playing this game. I've heard alot of good things about it, so I really hope it can meet up to my expectations! The music is supposed to be amazing aswell. Alright, I'll be back once I've finished the game! Wish me luck! :D

  • @Smileoscar Xenogears is one of my favorite RPG's of all time (15+ years of RPG). The story is DEEP (though the translation is a little rough). Hope you've got a lot of time. It took me about 60 hours to beat the game.

  • @banksmc311 Indeed. Though, in my book, 60-80 hrs is about standard for a J-RPG.

  • IT IS MIANG !!!!!

  • epic intro, only at the end of the game i understood it, epic

  • KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

  • There is huge similarities between this and Neon genesis Evangelion.

  • @infinityblablabla in my opinion xenosaga is a lot better than evangelion.

  • nostalgia...i vividly remember watching this intro for the first time...

  • I just uploaded a higher quality version here : youtube.com/watch?v=C1iEs2stKq­o&hd=1

  • I always wanted to play this game T-T but it was never released in PAL...

  • I knew when I first saw this intro, this game would be amazing. It's only the best game ever made. This intro still makes me feel wonder every time I watch it.

  • they shoulve had mc gyver in their engine room

    with the power of the anime relics he could build a gurren lagan of that ship with only a clamdicebar -.-
