  • You can't compare Squaresoft to Square Enix. Squaresoft came out with a lot of games that i loved which were rich with story, characters, and combat. Square Enix is just some watered down piece of shit version of that.

  • X, Triangle, X - yamikei

  • you fucks have to reallise, that square, has gone down hill..because of a new employees....

  • Love this game's ost, but I think the boss batthe theme is kinda off, and the calm part of it kills the moment, when I fight a boss I like to feel pumped and shit, like a SaGa frontier song, or something like that.

  • Love Xenogears music.. if any of you have facebook, join my "Video Game Music Fans" group to share great music :)

  • @gdoddmeta3608 Get a life bro *trollface*

  • @jesus77755

    lol @ 13 y/o's...

  • @gdoddmeta3608 you were not even on this planet when this game came out you little fuck face

  • I loved this theme back then, lol I didn't even played this, my brother did.

  • great music, great game

  • when i was in 7th grade i begged to get this game while at software etc (aka gamestop at the time). i was so pumped the next day i woke up at 4 am just to play it before school. still wasn't enough time.

  • Never got to fully play/beat Xenogears.

    It's my brothers favorite RPG.

    Even though I was young at the time I could tell the story was beyond my grasp.

    I want to go back now that I've grown up and beat it.

  • I miss this game....besides this and the boss theme, i like another one, but i cant remember what it is...maybe it is the Boss theme...But i do like this one a lot

  • I love this theme. It's right down to business and doesn't drive me insane after 1,000s of random battles. Only a few other battle themes really do that for me.

    1) Chrono Trigger

    2) Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria

    3) Final Fantasy XIII (This one's a treat even if you don't like the game, trust me)

    4) Lufia and The Fortress of Doom: Battle #1 (midi guitar solos!)

    5) Parasite Eve

  • @12ealDeal I hear you on that one. Always got me pumped. Still does actually.

  • Oh how I miss this one, it was soooo good!

  • i wish squaresoft still made awsome rpg's....final fantasy series is in the tank now =( im going though all the classics again

  • You know what I can't listen to this song without gear sound effects and or punching sounds. GWISH KRSH KRSH PAHKOOM KOOM!!!. There I'm happy.

  • oh square enix how you have fallen produce rpgs like this you noobs

  • @leryan New Staff New game!!

  • thanks

    

  • one of best game under legendary squaresoft era

  • how i pray everyday to the god of video game to give the idea to the mans behind that wonderful saga to complete it. Ooooohhhhh the tragedy to think that never in this life we could see the entirety of this saga ****sniff***sniff**** (T_T)

  • @Arphix Well technically Xenogears and Xenosaga are two different stories with two different settings...

  • @NeonBlue27 well they we're supposed to be in the same line and xenogears was to be the fifth and final installement if i'm not mistaken

  • @Arphix You are mistaken. Xenosaga and Xenogears have no relation except for the people who worked on them.

  • @Arphix due to the copyright issues that would come with linking those two games, they are not related. If SE sells the xenogears copyright to monolith then you can be sure there will be a game that links those two games together. But as of now we can only consider them to be parallel universes or parodies of the other. Although it is possible that monolith might collaborate with SE in the future if they continue to make successful games like they have.

  • Alright, anyone who played Xenogears, be honest: Did you not spend the first five minutes of your first battle in a gear trying to time your attack with the little moving target?

  • @Deibodese No... I read the instructions Weltall gave me onscreen and just went by those. I was kind of too caught up in the awesome to think about stuff like that. I did mimic some of the attacks though... (cough)

  • Srry, nothin beats Final Fantasy XIII.

    JK

  • This song just isn't the same without Gear sounds to punctuate the rhythm.

  • This Game is the best. but i wish they added a victory theme to it..

  • @jukeachuthepikachu Nah, and ruin this epic piece?

  • This is, no doubt, Mitsuda's best battle theme he ever composed.

  • o yeah im kicking sum ass with Citadel!

  • Am I bugging or is this the only Xenogears song on this list?

  • oh man I love this game, Great story, and very fun to play. XD

  • For me...this is the best battle theme of the world ;)

    I love at 0:29

  • I want Squaresoft back, now whos with me.

  • Best Non-Boss Battle Theme, Ever.

    Well, Lufia 1 comes close, if you're able to accept the fact that Lufia is a 16-bit game.

  • My dream would be to see a xenogears remade with the total story and not a resume in the whole disk 2.

    Story is one of the most epic yeah

  • There's a reason why this song is called the Stage of DEATH.

  • im hunting this game down i played the demo and it was epic

  • @Roxashatred you can buy it on the psn for 10 dollars. :) great game.

  • im hunting this game down i played the demo and it was epic

  • Instead of having some overplayed boring slow "Sad" song at my funeral I'm thinking about requesting something like this or similar. Yeah!

  • Has always been one of the top 3 best RPG's of all time, in my opinion. It's been over 10 years, n that still hasn't changed........

  • This obviously sounds like something that would be in Final Fantasy Tactics: It's made by SquareSoft.

  • @Ladencrel

    It just hit PSN, i now regret not playing it as a child. :(

  • The deepest game story ever written. There won´t be something like this ever again. I will never forget this game.

  • HA! HM! HA! HA! SUA! HA! HYAA!

  • everything is great about this game except for one thing , on some areas the encounter rate goes psycho and you sometimes encounter an enemy once every less than 5 seconds, but the story kept me going and i couldn't let go of the game, best story in any rpg ever ever ever.

  • Not trying to be a fan boy but... Best RPG Ever!!!!

  • Damn what has happened to square these days...........such a proud legacy.

  • yasunori mitsuda...

    enuf said

  • DAMN U squaresoft for screwing up the sequels of one of the best RPGs ever :/

    xenosaga blows cocks

  • @AshCrimsom

    Yeah, Xenosaga isn't the sequel to Xenogears. If you paid any attention to the story, you'd see that.

  • @Ghreivyn game is crap i didnt paid attention, they failed with it with whatever they tried to do prequel or sequel i dont give a damn... they failed

  • @AshCrimsom You just said "i didnt paid attention" yet we should take you seriously on the account of the storyline? It was amazing, spanned 15,000years, creation of man, imprisonment of god, reincarnation, machines taking over planet(Deus), zombies(wells), religion, fucking robots standing 60ft tall, and awesome martial arts. Yet game isn't good enough for you? Must be too young to remember the greatness or understand the undertones of the games story.

  • I miss Squaresoft. S-E seems to have lost the plot entirely.

  • @Ratonga feel the same..

    nowadays i turn to bioware and mistwalker

  • Why does this remind me of front mission 3?

  • @soulthepinkmage Because it also has giant robots with Badass writen all over them?

  • now guys its not com to pass. Xenogears is now coming to the PSN in North America. This was a long time coming. Those who never played it or not wanted to spend x amount of dollars for the game wont have to worry any longer. :)

  • @forestlock to fix the some words here. (now come to pass) me and my bad typing

  • @forestlock Oh. My. God. Xenogears on PSN?! If it's compatible with a PSP, I would buy one JUST for Xenogears. (And probably save money on hunting down a physical copy).

  • @sabombardonist yup. Xenogears is coming to the PSN in North America. so no worries if you dont want to spend too much money on a hard copy of the game. I know its pretty pricey for the game.

  • I can't wait for Xenoblade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I m a FFVII fan...

    but I believe this is the greatest rpg ever out there...the battles,the story,cutscenes...everything was perfect...too bad rpg games suck now...wish for a remake is all I can say

  • This game was epic beyond words, but nothing is more irritating when the save file corrupts before you finally get to a save point on disc 2. :(

  • Xenogears>>>>>>Xenosaga trilogy

  • This game will never loss it's value, because it just that damn great.

  • This was truly a piece of work as far as jrpgs go. Never have i seen a game since with such depth to a story, (about 2 hours straight on the second disc) yet awesome gameplay mechanics, one of a kind game from the square of old.

  • this sounds like something out of star fox

  • @Skydragonknight01 lol i only played star fox 64 but still xD i know what you mean

  • Xengears > Any other RPG ever made

  • Lol these machines are better than Transformers to me XD

  • darn it. I miss the game so much.

  • Knight of Fire!?

  • Stil trying to find Awakening from Xenogears, it surely is one of best boss/battle themes of all time!

  • they need to remake this game!

  • Most underrated RPG of all time.

  • this game was a legend!!!!!! i want moaaaaaarr!!!

  • @ryofu The makers created a new rpg game called XenoBlade for wii. play it when it comes out and you'll be dazzled. :O

  • @Pieeater23 Does it have Giant Robots?

  • @Ilovemariofan Actually it does, but as bosses and monsters im positive, the characters there are awesome though and their is great BGM and The graphics are outstanding for a wii console, check it out.

  • @Pieeater23 That sucks. I wanted to use the robot

  • I miss this game so much!

  • First game I've ever played, only game I can play over and over and over and over and over again and still have more and more fun every time.

  • Citan is still amongst the most epic characters ever.

    I remember I had my best final boss battle ever playing this game. Citan was the only one left standing in a mech with like, 100hp (which is nothing for a mech) and had enoguh fuel for one last weak attack.. took down the boss with it. It was literally the last decisive blow, heh.

    Great game.

  • No rpg is beating the storyline of this game.

    None of them.

    Epic game.

  • @donaldhole2007 Whoever disagrees with your comment should be castrated and dismembered.

  • @donaldhole2007 I also enjoyed the combat system.

  • @donaldhole2007 i fucking miss this game. i got it when it came out, and quite frankly.. i have no idea why i bought it. i was like... fucking 10 when i bought it, so i was probably thinking ya the dude on this cover looks COOOLL. lollll

  • @evilemetblack play again man!

  • @donaldhole2007 Even if the story has an awesome concept, the dialogue (most important part) is awful... And when the characters aren't believable, that means it's shit to me. If they remade this game or wrote a series it could be amazing.

  • @donaldhole2007 u have right! the best storyline xD

  • @donaldhole2007 Completely agreed! I can never seem to sell the concept of this game to any of my RPG playing friends. They take one look at the graphics, and decide to stick with their Dragon Age. It's hard to compare this game to others, because it is so much deeper than any rpg i've ever seen, and gets even harder with the fact that not many people have played it. I remember waking up at 4am to beat my older bro to the PS1, so i could play my save before he could play his, lol.

  • @donaldhole2007

    Your right its my #1 game on the consoles,planescape torment is just as good or a tad better than xenogears.

  • @donaldhole2007 I second that, though Final Fantasy VII is a VERY VERY close contender. Xenogears got me hooked until I got to the part where I had to enter a tournament. How do you beat that part?

  • @HiryuGouki did you enter the tournament? SImple, you fight in the tournament and fei owns everyone, whilst bart heads into the sewers and sneaks into the castle to rescue margie! :D

  • @zwady He doesn't owns Wiseman.

  • @Greygam true enough :P

  • @donaldhole2007 Chrono Cross does.

  • @donaldhole2007 X,triangle, X. -yamikei-

    you're fucked now.

  • Too bad SE and who ever made Xzenosaga couldnt come to terms cause Xzenosaga is far from being original like Xzenogears. The Graphics werent all that by todays standards but this game was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooo deep in story that it ranks as high as FF7 but this game was an underachiever due to its deep religious background it was built on. I still Have a my original PS and a mint copy of this game last time i heard if its in mint gamestop wanted 120usd for it.

  • sounds like something form star fox 64

  • Most. Epic. Battle theme. EVER.

  • Yasunori Mitsuda Is An Awesome Composer

  • Love the part from 0:50 to 1:03. Gets me so pumped!

  • is this game worth trying im thinking of buying it

  • @PsychoKungFu god yes! this is the best RPG game I have *ever* played, and I've played enough of them to know quite a bit. It has a storyline to rival many books, awesome sound, awesome characters, interesting battle systems and gameplay... Everything about it is amazing. It's very nearly perfect.

  • this song is indeed very epis, so's the game, if i remember correctly xenogears was 3 cd set, the plot goes very deep too, personally i don't even bother with xenosaga since it's not even the same kinda game to me no more

  • Best battle theme in a game. EVER.

  • @jdarr315

    AMEN.

  • @jdarr315 my fav game is xenogears but sorry not the best battle song!!

  • This is battle music at it's finest.......BRING XENOGEARS BACK!!!!!!

  • if they make a remake of xenogears.. final fantasy XIII sales will drop to shit... I guarantee that

  • @Kaiserzel

    how so?

  • @catbuffalo

    man do you know xenosaga? with mediocre story line like that they even scored 8,5 in gamespot... how about xenogears? they scored 9 previously (the ps one version), and if square remake the graphics of xenogears to fit PS3....

    it will much more successful than FF XIII : )

  • @Kaiserzel

    I would like to see a remake too but i don't see how it will bring down ff13. I also don't get what gamespot's review of the xenosaga trilogy has to do with anything.

  • @catbuffalo it's just like when final fantasy VII rise and xenogears started to be forgotten and got left behind, even before it had any chance to be no.1 RPG... it's sales dropped and replaced by the shining "FF 7" that every one loved, FF 7 not xenogears.

  • @catbuffalo

    and I think xenogears is best compared with xenosaga, because the story maker is the same... but xenogears is way better than xenosaga as an rpg, and yet xenosaga receive a really good score, just because of the graphics and flashy gameplay...

    so how about xenogears with graphics equal to xenosaga or FF XIII? won't it replaced the love of FF into xenogears? people usually play one RPG at a time you know... and they will know what to choose

  • @Kaiserzel Well xenosaga score a 9.75 in game informer's mag. I don't think xenosaga is worse then xenogears or better since I haven't played xenogears yet... but I played xenosaga and it's freaking awesome! The story is not average since it's not your typical cliches young hero saving world type of story where the bad guys want to destory the world and blah blah.... but to each his own opinion.

  • Nice. I never played the game. I played Xenosaga ^^. And is that really Abel????

  • sounds a lot like final fantasy tactics

    same composer maybe?

  • I always picture this theme with Bart in my party whippin' it good!

    Soooyah! Soooyah! *whapish!*

  • YES, finally! Tired of all this new school rpgers that think they know a great story! FFXIII is kindergarten when it comes to Xenogears!

  • @Deiradinn >_O It's not Kindergarden. Excuse me if not every game wants to take Religious twists with their story but that doesn't mean much. Plus, FFXIII's combat system makes up for the story, if that sort of thing is your fancy.

  • @Gamechild951 FFXIII is by far one of the worst games in the series. No amount of graphics or stifled gameplay can save it. I beat it, and I'm glad I finished it. Now on to a real great game, like FFIV The After Years.

    PSN - Deiradinn

  • @Deiradinn

    Really now? Care to explain to me how a crappilly executed FF sequel is better than FFXIII? Please, do so. Saying it's the worst without a single ode as to how only marks you off as a ranter, i.e troll.

  • @Gamechild951 The combat system is so much crap, and just about everyone knows how much the series suffered because of this mess. I'd rather play through FFVI anyday, or go out and play the sequel to FFIV, it's amazing!

  • @Deiradinn You tellin' me that a game which does nothing but rehash on nostalgia is amazing? With a crap story that even had the nerve to bring Zeromus back, I could easily say otherwise. The only new "innovation" that game had was it's group attacks, which were barely needed. Last I checked, the Combat System in FFXIII was critcally lauded (That means appraised). At least you know of the greatness that is FFVI, but that does little to amend the fact that you're just hating on a game...

  • @Gamechild951 the combat system of ffxiii is a fucking joke , that game bored me to death...i want classic rpg system

  • @CloudStrifeZX Greeaaatt. Good luck convincing many others that same argument. If it was purely combat, then you should have no problem playing more contemporary RPGs like Lost Odyssey considering you love "classic rpg system". As for me, I play Xenogears not only because of the combat (Despite the fact that its perfect and hasn't been utilized in the subsequent titles) but the awesome story and sound. I don't need to love dated combat, I need to appreciate it while enjoying whatever comes next.

  • lost odyssey was a masterpiece too bad is an 360 exclusive.... and i love classic rpg, i love leveling up, manage every character and control their movements(attacks magic etc) ....that was inexistent on ff 13

  • @CloudStrifeZX You can manage how every character levels up in their six different roles in FFXIII. You could only control one's movements, but that was for compensation, otherwise the speed would have been bogged down tremendously. It fit the mechanics,so if you disliked FFXIII, its because of that, but it certainly wasn't bad by any means, nor a bad game. Just distinguished taste, and something different from the classics.

  • I loved Xenogears so much. I hope I don't count as a 'kid' though.

  • Haa! ha! seh! ungh! buryah!

  • Excellent game if not for the overuse of Gears. If they had left that crap out, the game would've been so much better.

  • Deathblow! Deathblow! Deathblow!

  • I hate the intro (the first few seconds), but love the rest of the song. Not the best battle theme in Xenogears though.

  • It's not the best, but it's still really good. :)

  • Wish this song was in FFT

  • lols i remember the pov ass graphics when i played it, Amazing ass game though loved the story. And yea i know the graphics were probably good for the time the game came out i don't even remember when i played it great game tho

  • the battle system is awesome, much faster than xenosaga, in my opinion

  • my number one. just glad its high on the list though

  • man loved the game when it first came out in 98 and still do now i dinno how many people now still have this game but i still got two copys of it since 98 its one of thoses games no matter how many times u play it u can never get tired of it good story great charaters to bad not all games are like how this game is in spirt

  • The whole song reeks of FFT, Which isn't a bad thing mind you :P Yasunori Mitsuda is an amazing composer.

  • Xenogears is still my favorite RPG!

  • Final Fantasy XII sucked! Not because of the battle system, I was able to handle that. It was the story that made the game bad. Sentences that made no sense. Mispronounciations. Ugh. The parts of the story that actually made sense were just boring. Even the last part of the story in FF XII was lame. XII ruined the series. I probably won't get XIII because of how bad XII was.

  • WHAT!

  • You would be seriously missing out if you skip FF Versus 13. Very little has been shown or talked about it, but I have a feeling it'll be a good one. FF 13 doesn't look like it'll be that good, but I'll still give it at least one playthrough.

  • @koolaid5929 while xii was bad i wouldn't let that stop u from getting xiii have to consider that they got 11 games right before then lol i doubt xiii will be a bad game in fact it is looking to be a great game....even the battle system is hot i played the jap demo

  • 11 games right?

    i would say actually 6 or 7

  • @mariohart

    I love FFXIII

  • Is this the only Xenogears theme? I'm surprised "Flight" wasn't used instead if there had to be one...

  • Xenogears, Final Fantasy 6, 12, Chrono Trigger, and Final fantasy tactics are Square's finest games ever made.

  • well i guess we all have our opinions but why would you put FF12 which was alright and not FF7? xenogears was the best game made by them but FF7 comes in 2nd

  • i still have the game, im goin to play it agin.

  • This is classic! It reminds me of middle school.

  • SquareSoft... Those Were The Promising Days Of Great Games

  • I see no difference.

  • @Davain1800s

    square died when they made Final fantasy 8.

  • @GidionX Rest In Peace SquareSoft... Enix Is Nothing Compared To You...

  • @GidionX Nope just a bunch of retarded fan boys did. Square is just fine.

  • @Davain1800s Amen.
