  • my first time through this game I read every single bit of text (i was 13) I maxed out my hours (99 hours)

    second play through, 99 hours

    third play through, 99 hours

    fourth play through, 99 hours

    ...

    To me it's a perfect combination of RPG, Anime, and graphic Novel.

  • I agree, I've played almost every rpg out there from 1989 and xenogears is #1 imo

  • Yes!!! Ever since I played Xenogears I have never been able to say another game has taken its place as #1 game ever!!! I still have the original discs and case, and the Playstation as well (actually i have two ps1's and two ps2's in my closet). I played it through twice and would have done it more times if my first disc didn't mess up (I WANTED TO CRY). I recently found out it got placed in the PSN and I am planning on downloading it, but was wondering if there is a way to download it for free?

  • Xenogears was great but due to financial reasons the gameplay switched from an rpg to a visual novel half way through. This really killed the experience for me as much potential for an even better game was obviously wasted.

    So sad.

  • @Vilemk0 I am well aware of the financial problems the game had. In fact I know too much about this damn game for my own good thanks to its research and perfect works. While I disagree with you on the second half of the game, I could see why others may not like it. If the story was mediocre which it is not, the game would have been killed totally for me. Fortunately the story remained strong through out it's second half for me!

  • Magus, while I am not sure if you will ever read this comment, I have finally returned to Xenogears. I started playing it back in 2009 by your recommendation but left off around the Thames/Ethos/Billy Arc.

    Now I delved back into the game and I have just reached Disc 2. More and more this game is feeling like one of the best RPGs but also stories and soundtracks in existence

    Will probably make a very gloating review once I finish it. Thanks again for the recommendation. I hope you are doing ok!

  • I love Xenogears personally. It was not perfect (and some people will find it overly pretentious... coz of the religious overtones I guess *I mean, I myself think some things were superfluous and/or ridiculous*)... but I think it had huge potential despite its flaws.

    I do not completely agree with the character development... not everyone was greatly developped (hello Rico, Maria, Emeralda, Billy and Chu-Chu *but screw the last one*). And Disk 2... sigh...

    This game NEEDS a remake. That is all.

  • Thumbs up if you still own Xenogears and will never part with it!!!

  • Xenogears is NGE of jrpgs....

  • This would have been my favourite game of all time, and it was till i got to disc 2.

  • I love Xenogears, and there's a quiet glee that I feel from jRPG haters never trying this game. I try to explain to them that some jRPGs are truly amazing, like this or Persona, but they are close minded.

    I should replay Xenogears again, especially now that I'm 10 years older and I have a deeper understanding of the religious and political stuff..

  • this game probably has the best story in any video game. but i sadly can't say it's my favourite. i hate turn based combat. i guess by rpg standards it's good combat, but i don't like any turn based stuff. for a game like Ninja Gaiden 2, i return to it so much because the gameplay is so fun and skill based. the only reason i'll be returning to this game is to expreience the story again...

  • Xenogears was amazing.

  • Hey man, Xenoblade is coming soon. The maker of Xenogears is back with along with 6 composers (yoko and yasumuri being 2) to collaborate to make this JRPG for the wii. And quite frankly, its one of the only hopes JRPG has for this generation. Nier for the Ps3/360 is probobly one of the closest games today that can match Suikoden 2, Xenogears, and all those legends long ago.

  • Ive heard so much about this game and how deep its story is and have been wanting to play it for a long time. Now after watching this I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I have to play this game. It's a shame its so hard to find these days.

  • @Trendkill89

    FYI, squeenix finally put it on psn.

  • I don't know whats going on in this video, but you have the voice of a cool radio host.

  • xenogears is just simply awesome, i played it twelve years ago, and im still amazed about how perfectly crafted it was. there is at least a dozen moments that had me floored and utterly shocked. this game curb stomped every sacred cow it could put its hands on, and did it intelligently; best game of all time.

  • I've been playing RPGs all my life and only one game has been worth my time and that's Xenogears. I feel the same, playing it again I am blown away. It's amazing.

  • this game was confusing, by the time I finished I was like like "huh, what happened?", one day I will play it again.

  • I'm glad there are other people out there who appreciate the art of this game.

    My favorite game of all time, too :)

  • Worst game i ever played? "Final Fantasy 12". ;P

    Second worst game i ever played? "Pimp my ride"

    Yes it should be noted twice that i do actually think Final Fantasy 12 was worse then Pimp my ride. What a horrible OVERated game. lol

    Aside from the monster hunting side quest the entire game blew chucks. The characters were uninteresting,uncool,uncharism­atic,boring,depressed looking and the main character looked like a birth accident that should have been aborted. xD

  • You are very biased. Next thing you'll say is that Super Man 64 is better than Final Fantasy XII. I don't care how much you hate FFXII, it is better than fucking Pimp My Ride. That is a fact.

  • Biased? My name is Squall776. You should get properly educated before using words you have no understanding of.

    If I'm being accused of being "biased" towards anything then it would have made A LOT more sense if you said i was being biased in SUPPORT of FF XII since my alias is from the Final Fantasy series.

    Not sure if your brain can handle complicated words if your having trouble putting "biased" in its proper context. Go back to school and take a few more English classes.

  • Okay? Just because your name is from FFVIII doesn't really have any standing on whether or not your biased against FFXII. And insulting my English skills doesn't make your argument any better. If you went to English classes, you'd probably not waste your time with silly ad hominem arguments.

  • Only someone like yourself with a limited intellect would find it difficult to accept my name as an obvious support towards the Final Fantasy Franchise.

    It's like eating a Cheeseburger from someone's mother your not very fond of and telling your friend the food sucked even though you actually liked it.

    I like how everyone and their grandmothers tries to use "ad hominem attacks/arguments" as a counter measure to support their own arguments nowadays. So unoriginal and ignorant.

  • Also,what exactly does "If you went to English classes,you'd probably not waste your time with silly ad hominem arguments" even have anything to do with taking 3 minutes out of my time to type up a message to a random moron on Youtube?

    I don't see the relation with the two. Again your words are all out of context and make absolutely NO sense at all.

    I'll give you another "Cheeseburger" example.

    Your retarded context: "If you like Airplanes why not just play with your cat?"

    You make no sense.

  • He wasn't even using ad hominem in his argument. What are you dumb? He was basically explaining how you used the word biased in the wrong context,which you did actually use it in the wrong context. You claim out of no where that he's biased without anything to back it up and then you say he's the one using ad hominem attacks? You sir are an idiot anupsanju. PS: both games sucked. Who cares which one sucks more. They're both joke games,so save your bitching and whining for twitter or something.

  • He claimed that FFXII sucked without any reasoning. And calling me stupid really has no purpose besides trolling.

  • Quoted from Squall7766

    "Aside from the monster hunting side quest the entire game blew chucks. The characters were uninteresting,uncool,uncharism­atic,boring,depressed looking and the main character looked like a birth accident that should have been aborted."

    Looks to me like he had reasoning. Doesn't matter if you liked his reasoning or if you think it was valid or invalid because it's his opinion against yours,however I'm more inclined to agree with his opinion. FFXII is a joke.

  • Also try not to take to much offense to my first statement about you being an "idiot". I didn't say it simply out of spite in the form of an insult. I meant it in its literal meaning. That you actually were/are an idiot. Not sure if that makes it any less insulting,but I thought I would explain anyway. It makes you look stupid when you claim someone didn't say something,even when they did. It makes you look stupid calling him "biased" when his name supports the franchise,rather then opposing it.

  • I AGREE! Xenogears was the best game ever made! No other game comes close!

    Well maybe chrono trigger,but nothing else. Even Final Fantasy isn't in the same league of creativity as this game. Funny part about that is Square (same people that made final fantasy) made Xenogears.

    This game is SERIOUSLY underrated. Some people know the game,but not a whole lot.

    FF7 got so much hype. Aside from the amusement park and Sephiroth i thought FF7 was plain/mediocre. Even cloud was boring and mediocre.

  • My fav game is GTA: Vice City. I love that game. Its great.

  • im buying this in a month or so my fav game of all time is metal gear solid 4!

  • of the best stories i've ever digested

  • Great review, bro.

  • Xenogears needs to be on the PSN.

    /sigh

  • Then I don't have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to see whether it's amazing or it sucks total ass

  • I just Got Xenogears, Im having a fun time playing it

  • damn I never knew about this game until I saw this and heard you mention it now I really wanna try it, is it hard to find on ebay?

  • all castlevanias all megamans all metroids all street fighters all zeldas all super mario bros almost every game is my favorite xcept for the crappy games that many people talk about

  • I love xenogears

  • I totally agree with you Magus, Xenogears is one of the greates games ever made and is almost flawless, but very few people have even heard of it much less played it.

    Also, everything you said was just perfect. You described the game so well, and you did a great job conveying what it's all about. I feel like playing Xenogears again right now.

  • Man Magus during the winter break I got off school and beat SMT: Persona 4. At that time that was my favorite game of all time.

    But then I saw Xenogears at my local store's retro selection. So I picked it up, and having beaten it I can also say that it is also my favorite game of all time.

    The stories and concepts that inspired the game totally blew me away. And it is a benchmark on how I rate not just rpgs, but games in general.

  • Yea I agree completely the story has so much depth to it, its ridicilous but a good ridicilous at the same time. And its a very involving story i thought and has the best love story ever in a video game!

  • XenoGears is my Fave PS1 RPG. Deus Ex is my altime fave game

  • @besteverman07 good to see a real gamer,talk about a true classic.real gamers,stand up.check out my page.

  • Excellent video Magus. I only played it once but maybe one day I will play it again. It is my 2nd all time favortie game. Right now I am playing Xenosaga and plan on playing Xenosaga 1,2 and 3.

  • super mario bros 3 because it was most of my childhood.

  • Comment removed

  • street fighter is my favorite GAME OF ALL TIME !!!!

  • 1, 2, 3, or Alpha? Alpha 3 Max is mine

  • My favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy VII. I would think that your's would be Chrono Trigger lol.

  • hey magus can u give me link to where i can download this to my psp cause some links arent working

  • Xenogears was overlooked and underrated partially because the 2nd disc was rushed, in my opinion.  But yeah, Xenogears is the best video game ever made hands down. The storyline just blew me away.

  • Having recently replayed the game, while its still my favorite I agree the second disc is a little rushed, but I will say this, the reason I think it was overlooked was that this game came out in fall of 1998 and two games overshadowed it....and that was ocarina of time, and Metal Gear Solid

  • Super Mario Bros 3...

    Enough said there...

  • my fav game is super metroid or finale fantasy tactics 4 ps1 i cant pick onelol.i never play Xenogears but my pick it up.

  • Id... is a badass

  • The game was almost not released in America due to it's religious overtones, that would explain why it was never advertised. It was released along with Final Fantasy 2 in 2000 and in 2003 it was released as a greatest hit.

  • man ten years ago they had some awesome games, I was finishing high school had ample time to play, now I hardly have any free time (work sucks) and the games just aren't as good as they were in the 90's (in my opinion)

  • Im With you Brother!

  • hey magus man ur vids are great im tryin to see em all

    AND SIGN ON 4 THE PARTNER PROGRAM

  • hell yeah graph was badass for me sence i frist saw him.

  • Hey I know this game my older bro had this when I was 5 this game was cool and then when I was 15 I saw it in a used game store it was 60$

  • i know this is random sorry.but hi wat up how you doing man.i am new to this emulater stuff i can never find a good ps1 emulator and and can't find xenogears please help me i would really apprecaite it bye and get well soon

  • I personally own this game (got it complete with a lot of items I had bought on ebay, a bunch of sega saturn games and one ps1 game strangely enough). After hearing your comments I might put this on the top of my play list as for the games I will be playing. Have you tried playing it on ps2 with its enhanced ps1 driver features (texture mapping and disc speed) if so do they help any? What do you think of the Xenosaga series?

  • I played it a long time ago on a ps2, but I originally played it on a psone, so not sure how it helps, it does look good on a psp though :D

    As for Xenosaga, not a big fan of it personally, its ok, but it did not impress me much!

  • Bro! tell me how you got xenogears on the psp?

  • PopsLoader!!!!... Google it

  • yea i know were i live it expensive it is rare were i live but the cut scens's are so well done and i was so in to the game at the end i am going to be honest i don't at all but the end of the game almost made me cry that how much it pulled me into the game

  • Too bad it never got a EU release,they should port it to the PSP or make a remake.

  • I always wanted to play that but never got to find a copy. I hope it isn't astronomically priced online like FFVII is at the moment.

  • Nah its no where near ffvii, you should be able to find it fairly inexpensive, you can pay around thirty for it!

  • i played the demo is awesome

  • that game looks kool

  • Never heard of the game, seems good.

    MY favorite game is either SMB 3, COD 4, or DK 64.

  • I love Xenogears so much that I used the Lacan name for many years as my users name.

  • heh, I was sort of pumped up when you used that name, lol, as for dark, I completely understand why you used dark lacan, as in reference to grahf....thats a cool pun on the name!

  • Yeah Snare Is Awesome. Xenogears was never released in Europe unfortunately...

  • Well fi you ever need to gary I will help you get a copy of it!

  • Good PICK MAN! That is one of my favorite games too...man ive got to go play through it again! :)

  • I dunno what my favourite game of all time is...it's a tie between Super Mario World, FFIX, Metroid Prime and King's Bounty Conquerer's Quest...

    Haven't played Xenogears

  • Bleh, mouse slipped and I posted the comment early.

    "Haven't played Xenogears", should've been followed by "I think I'll hunt around for it".

  • good video

  • I played this game and it was one of my favs the music the battles when you fight they where alwasy epic they kept me going the story was so good i never could get enough of this by fav it is one of my favs.

  • I watched my friend play this game. I thought it was pretty cool, but never got a chance to get it. I'm gonna try to find it now. The RPG I loved, which just about everyone did, was Final fantasy 7. That game is probably my favorite of all time.

  • I love Xenogears. It's the best rpg game on playstation. But I wasn't fond of the Xenosaga series. I thought it was too cinematic (long cutscenes) and a little more tough than Xenogears.

  • hell yea, dude, totally agree with you, and I agree with you on the xenosaga series, I am not really that fond of them myself to be honest either!

  • Xenogears is also one of my favs of all time. Amazing story and killing god ftw.

  • Truly an epic. One of my favorite games too.(not sure if it my favorite of all time but its up in there)

  • Xenogears is the shit. I beat it like 6 times and I never get tired of it. Everything about this game is great. I swear I'm gonna do a review on this game one day.

    Magus, did you ever get the Kishin Sword weapon for Citan at the end of Disc 2? With his fists or sword he is a badass fighter.

  • Is xenogears at all related to the xenosaga games. PS. Great vids

  • i have to agree with you xenogears is on my list of favorite games it's an amazing game and in "98" it's combat system was unfreakin believable!

  • I've never played Xenogears,but I though Xenosaga was ok,at least the first xenosaga and Xenosaga 3,I did'nt like Xenosaga episode II that much,but i'll have to give xenogears a try.

  • I think xenogears imho is a far superior game then all three xenosagas put together, you would love this game dude, emulate, ebay it, whatever, you will love this game, i am sure you will my man! If not thats cool, but its worth trying!

  • im definitely gonna download it on my psp.

  • It plays awesome on the psp, I still have my original copy, but I been replaying it on psp and it plays nice, and it looks good on the small screen!

  • And by the way let me know how you like ti dude!

  • the psx game list i use says it is that it is an invalid link. where can i get it?

  • I got a link for you, I will pm you

  • I have xenogears but i'm not sure i'd like it after playing Xenosaga episode one. Is it similar to saga? If you played Xenosaga did you like it?

  • Xenosaga is ok...I am not a big fan of the xenosaga series, the xenosaga games are more of a spiritual successor to Xenogears, and Xenogears imo is much better put together and has a better storyline then xenosaga, if you hated xenosaga, then you should be ok, this game stands on its own imo

  • i'll be sure to get this.

  • I loved this game, never got far tho i member it being really hard

  • I remember when this game was very expensive for a used copy, going for 60-70$, then Square did a reprint as a Greatest Hit. The GH version is cheaper than the original of course, and better to track down as it is more likely to be in good condition, and doesn't have any issues with that version, unlike the GH version of Final Fantasy Tactics. Xenogears is an amazing game, not the best gameplay wise but the story is the best, or one of the best at least, RPG stories ever.

  • Very nice, the main reason why i don't like Krehlian is because you never really get to fight him and he also should have his own theme music. Actually Ramses should too cause i think he is a bad ass as well.

  • Thats true you never fight him, interesting that you really never fight the main antagonist in the game lol, but yea, and yea Ramsus is a bad ass...for not being a big player he really is well developed

  • hmm I have nvr heard of Xenogears until now. I think I might take a look at it. thanks mag

  • Check it out especially if you love jrpgs, there are some links to trailers on the description and you can even check out snareplayers lets play of the game for an idea of what its like!

  • Well I'm not a HUGE JRPG guy but they are a few that I liked (ie; Chrono Series)

  • Around 40-60$. My third favorite game and I highly suggest it. It's easily worth the high amount it costs.

  • How much does it go for on Ebay?

  • You can get it as cheap as 12 bucks, some go up to over a 100 but those are the rare black label and the ones unopened, but you can get some used ones for cheap...its worth it dude, and yea I forgot to mention its a psone game lol...but yea you should find it for cheap! If not I can help you emulate it, but if your against that you can find it on ebay!

  • i heard alot about it and seen alot of videos on it, and from what i saw it looks amazing. hell, maybe i'll get it onling and review it! thanks for the video

  • Hell yea, I know your a big jrpg fan, and you would love this game, simply put again it simply breaks the mold of cliches and what not found in Jrpgs, and stands the test of time, its worth buying, and if you want emulation, which I can help you with if need be, but if you want to buy it, its worth the high price on ebay!

  • yeah, i'll probably just get it on ebay, they have everything there. again, thanks for the video, this can go were all my other awesome old rpg's are!

  • I have a buncha emulators on my computer but some of them don't work because my comp's a piece of shit.

  • It can go for $100 new

  • I meant either new or used.
