Xenosaga the Movie

[shionthekid]

I just spent 45 minutes watching cut-scenes in Xenosaga.  I've played so many (so very many) RPGs and yet I was still surprised by this.  Shows I do not learn :-/After two boss fights, I got locked into an unavoidable plot-forwarding series of scenes that revealed quite a lot but also made me rather sleepy.  The option to save after half an hour was nice, though it was only so I could switch in the second disk and watch 15 minutes more...  I know they had to cram-pack this game full of story due to the fact the series - which ends with Xenosaga III - was originally meant to have 6 parts (plus Xenogears) and the creator wanted to get everything he wanted into this last game.  But STILL, what with the story database in the game and the 40 million NPCs and the games within the game - just a bit much here.   Oh, and I still love Shion (just putting that out there).
   Oh yeah - Heroes DVD set is out - woohoo :D   Can't wait to dive into that - g'night :)
