I definitely love the whole song but from 2:23 onwards it is just too epic for my little heart to handle. I feel like the whole universe is collapsing before my own eyes.
@blargityish I used to have a lot of trouble with this argument. Xenogears is a classic, Xenosaga is a cult hit. I loved Xenosaga with all of my soul too, but it's not mainstream. No matter how good the story and the music are (and both are A+), the way it's told (VERY long cutscenes) and the battle system (which left something to be desired in all but 3) is just going to turn most people off. 3 was the only truly great, well rounded installment, but that comes last.
@blargityish Aye, I'm currently contemplating doing so, thankfully spending the cash on an NTSC PS2 shall not be a problem, as a good mate of mine has one lying around. I may just steal his for a bit!
@Harixen You can also let your PS2 get modded with a chip so it can play every region as well as selfburned DVDs (there are some pretty good Undub cracks for various JRPGS which let you play with the original Japanese audio, if you like that better than English dubs). Just google it, I'm sure you'll find a good offer. It was one of the best investments I made in my life. :)
@blargityish I'd honestly love to play Xenosaga. Sadly, I wasn't gifted with Namco's favour, as I'm not a resident of either Japan or the USA.
Over here in Europe we only got Xenosaga II, which was an absolutely abysmal business choice on their part, as the game itself was, of course, a sequel, hindering any and all enjoyment anyone could get out of the overly long cutscenes that plagued the game.
Well, there was supposed to be a total of six games in the series. But sadly, they cut it short to three, and as 2006 gets further away, the likelihood of the series' continuation in any official capacity becomes less and less likely.
this game was a huge dissapointment for me, the storyline for Xenosaga part 1 absoutely changed my life ... i feel like being they wanted this to be a 6 part series they just cramed the plot of 4-6 into 3 and just ruined everything, it was all rushed without any development
@divinityzoo ive played xenosaga episodes I and II correction i should say "Watched" =.= the game was far FAR to cs heavy for my liking. but then again i enjoy ff so i might be somewhat biased.
If I ever become a movie director (Yeah, just need to win the lotto, :-p ), I will hire Yuki Kajiura and Yasunori Mitsuda to write the music for all my films.
Oh lord was this boss a bitch until you figure out his pattern. Thank god the music rocked, otherwise I wouldn't have had the patience to spend a half hour beating him. Great List!
im pretty sure they were going to realese a 4th and 5th based off of the 2nd xenos sales, but since it did not sell well they tried to crame everything into the thrid 1, which in my opinion is the best anyway....

Xenosaga 1

Well, there was Pied Pipier, but I doubt that counts as a game in the series.

One of my favorite songs from the third game. Used to think that boss for it was evil, but once you get Erde Kaiser Sigma, 3 hits and it dies. :D

Around 1:15 I hear bits from the Conan Film Theme.
For those who've not seen it an advert for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time used to have the same music.

You should channel your energy towards the Final Fantasy fanboys who refuse to buy something better....like Xenosaga.
