I'm so happy to see Xenogears get some love. It's still my favourite game of all time, and I still hope that one day the entire 6 part series will be made, rather than just part 5 (which is xenogears). That game hit me so hard as a teenager, and was one of the main motivators that resulted in me doing my Bachelors Degree in philosophy.
If you are someone who loves complex and deep narrative, do not pass this game up.
Have you played Xenosaga 1-3 and Xenoblade 1-3? I'd be curious to see where you would rank them to Gears. I personally like Xenosagas story 1-3 the most even though Gears and Blade were all essentially retellings. I do remember playing Xenogears, FF7 and FF6 all in the same year and I found Gears to be the best of the three so its a shame it didn't get as much recognition.
I agree that Xenoblade X is highly underrated. The whole Xeno franchise is so beautiful just for the simple fact that the folks at Monolith Soft has the balls to try and follow through with these huge visions. They (mostly) throw commercialism to the wind and go forth with these really heavy and heady ideas.

Xenoblade X 2 and xenoblade chronicles 3 and new IP is in development.
@@user-Void-Star was xcx2 ever announced as being in development??
@@DennepeerRelaxation yes it's in work you won't see until a few years.
@@user-Void-Star awesome. Thanks 👍
@@user-Void-Star it was never announced stopped spreading lies lol xb3 is the one coming out
Xenoblade Chronicles X is one of my favorite game worlds ever. I feel like I lived on Mira for like 6 months.
Me too! It was an experience and I loved every hour of it. I'd like to revisit Mira on my Switch.
I love how it's a celebration of the series the final level is straight out of gears
I love it please bring it to Switch
It's one of my three favourite games of the past 10 years alongside Breath of the Wild and Crusader Kings 2.
me too brother, the huge world buildings, the mysteries, the enemies, the custom suits, the lurking dangers, the amazing SKELLS, the lovely characters full of emotions, you make your own story and are blown away by the ending because Mira it's that kind of place, when Tatsu made the dance of happiness I felt it bro.
Xenogears was when morale was still high in Square, when creativity was flowing freely.
Yeah, before Sak made the massive tactical error that was the FF movie and the company got overrun by soulless money men who indulged Nomura's atrocious storytelling.
@@bobbyphillips1077
Don't blame Nomura for everything, it was upper management's fault too, and in fact mostly. Luminous? That was them. Cancelling FF versus as is? Them. Putting Nomura on like 87 different projects all at once? Again, management. He's surely not the only good director they have, but they're stretching him over everything for some reason, that reason being he brings in the dough.
Xenoblade and Xenoblade 2 are Godsend!!! I also really enjoyed X but never finished it. Takahashi is the new Sakaguchi for me.
Xenogears is easily my favorite; best soundtrack, story, characters, and atmosphere. Hell, I even enjoyed Disc 2 haha!
It didn't even occur to me there was an issue with Disc 2 while playing as a kid... only learned it was an issue for some people when reading on the internet years later.
Xenogears is legendary, my personal #1 JRPG of all time (a tall order!) , and #2 favorite video game of all time. Glad to hear it come up on this channel again! The Square Enix store is actually releasing 3 awesome figures this year: Fei, Elly, and Weltall! :D
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Everything I ever wanted in a narrative driven, open world RPG. It was hard placing it over Xenogears and A Link to the Past....but it's almost like phases of life for me. Witcher as a wiser adult, Xenogears as young man, and LTTP for my childhood :)
Europe never got Xenogears 😢
MoviesNGames007uk OMG really? I had no idea, that's a travesty! Not even through PS3/PSP download now? I feel your pain, though. North America never got a proper release of Terranigma for the SNES.
I just beat Witcher 3 and it was great. Played all 3 games in that series and they just got better each time.
You have good taste in games, man. I checked out your channel, will you be creating more content?
Xenogears 20th anniversary concert recently held on in Japan was amazing :)
Xenoblade Chronicles X was my introduction to the Xeno series and I put 200+ hours and never finished it but I loved every bit of it. Then I played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and put about 150+ hours and finished it and what an amazing game. Monlith Soft has become one of my favorite studios/developer. Can't wait for the Torna expansion to get back to the game again.
If you didn’t play Xenoblade chronicles 1 definitive edition, you’re missing out.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this series. Xenogears is my favourite game of all time and so far nothing has dethroned it. I haven't had a chance to play a lot of games in the xeno-series just because of my job but the one thing I will always acknowledge is how much xenogears had played an important part in my life and helped define my gaming tastes.
Johnny there is some information I want to provide you especially regarding Xenogears and I don't want you to take it the wrong because even though I'm a fan of xenogears - I don't consider myself an expert.
I think the xenogears soundtrack you own might be a fake. The only reason why I say this is my wife had made the same mistake when she bought me the xenogears soundtrack for the first time. I did some research on the vgmdb (Video Game Music Data Base) and that cover art is the most common cover art for bootleg copies of the soundtrack. There is only one authentic version of the soundtrack that uses that black cover art with the red X so if you have any free time I want you to check the side of the soundtrack and look for the code number.
If the code number on the side of the jewel case is SSCX-10013 (It's Authentic).
However if the code on the side of the jewel case is:
GM-516~7 (It's a Bootleg)
A&G-033~4 (It's a Bootleg)
I know you like your products to be authentic so I just wanted to provide you with that information.
There are also tons of great xenogears merchandise to own. It seems like square enix is ready to give this game the much needed attention it deserves. If you check the square enix store, they have figures of Fei, Elly, and the Weltall available for pre-order.
They recently had a xenogears 20th anniversary concert which somebody had put on youtube. It was taken down after a few days, but I got my wife to copy it and record it before it was taken down off the website. They've also had a xenogears vinyl released as well as the xenogears millennium editions as well which where deluxe versions of the ps1 games with some one of a kind xenogears stuff.
I still need to play the games in the xenoblade trilogy and I still haven't beat xenosaga III yet, so I'll have a lot of xeno goodness to look forward to. If your interested in getting other kinds of xenogears items, I hope you'll have a look at some of those and see if you have the space to add those to your collection.
Ive been afraid to play these games because they seem so time-consuming.
I guess I must be ... xeno-phobic
William Hetherington 10/10
@Alejandro R. M. over-'ambitious'.
HorgothTheRelentless 😂.
William Hetherington Like any jrpg, gotta dedicate time to them
Well, the Xenoblade games are the longest (haven't played 2, but 1 took me about 90 hours). Xenogears is about 40 hours and the xenosaga games are about 25 hours each. Just... survive through 2 to get to the best part with 3 as they are a complete trilogy. It is the only series in which you do need to play them in order to understand the story... or just TH-cam the cutscenes, but 3 is a genuinely all around great game!
Xenogears ... hail to the king!
The series is unrelated?
The Zohar begs to differ.
Yes the The Xeno Franchise's multiverse mcguffin Edit It's scary how that 1 thing Has it connection to all Xeno franchise And its power
Nah, still unrelated. The connection just isn't there once you go beyond the surface level details.
@@XanderVJ Except the Zohar is anything BUT surface level. It's quite literally a divine instrument and it's very existence influences the plot of every single Xeno game.
I always seem to come away from these collection videos both amazed and extremely jealous of your humongous collection. And then all I can think about is how much I want all that stuff you have in my collection as well. Lol. Cool stuff Johnny.
Trying to share the fun! Not trying to torture! :D
I still play xenogears :) and I love how the whole series is very vaguely connected (thanks perfect works)
It's people like you that sparked my interest in series like this. Keep up the good work :)
Great video John! Very interesting series. I have an number of JRPGs in my collection I still haven't gotten around to playing, one of them is Xenoblade Chronicles X. I'll set up my WiiU and play it tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation :)
Whoooooaaaaa! Did not expect to see this today, very nice! I finally played Xenogears a year-ish back. So glad I finally had that experience 👍.
Monolithsoft is one of my favorite developers. The Xeno series is one of the best RPG series there is in my eyes. If you haven't yet check it out.
Amazing series - Xenogears was one of my first JRPGs and still my favorite. They've done a great job continuing the series with Saga and Chronicles!
I just discovered this channel a few days ago. Really love it. And Xenogears is my favorite video game of all time! Awesome collection!
Xenogears has a very special place in my heart. There was something about the story when I first played it many years ago. The combat was just so fun and intuitive, and the OST as you mentioned is very godlike.
I started with Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii. It was actually the game that got me back in to gaming properly after a few years of only really getting the main Pokemon games. I'd seen a few beautiful looking screenshots and I was intrigued. I went to Game in the UK one Saturday morning and got the limited edition with the special red Wii pro controller. The 480p didn't bother me as I hadn't played an HD console at the time and I was blown away by the size and scope of the world, then as I got into the game the mechanics and story had me gripped. It instantly became one of my most memorable games of all time. I spent several months playing only that game and I loved every second of it. It's one of the few games I was genuinely sad when I finished it. When they announced Xenoblade chronicles X just after the Wii U was released I couldn't believe it, because as much of a cult following that the original game had it was still pretty niche and wasn't sure if we'd ever get another game. It took nearly 3 years to eventually come out but it totally loved up to my excitement. It had a very different feel to the first game which was slightly off putting at first but the more I played it the more I realised how incredible it was. The world was huge and absolutely stunning and there is so much to do and so many deep layers to the gameplay it is quite overwhelming but everything works so well. Even though it was very different in many ways the key ingredients were there, a huge world to explore, incredible music and a fantastic battle system. Spent many happy months with it. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was the highlight of the Switch reveal presentation for me. Again another different graphical style but a definite return to the more story focuses gameplay of the Wii original. The game is incredible, it has so much content that you can spend many months playing and still not see everything. The story and characters are wonderful and the battle system improved further. Collecting all the different blade characters was a great addition and their designs are quite brilliant. The new Torna dlc is adding even more to this stunning game. I'm a huge Xenoblade fan but would definitely love yo check out the older titles in the loosely connected series, especially Xenogears. These games really are works of art.
I absolutely love this series. Completely agree with you - It’s so large in scope that it’s difficult to explain to people that haven’t played it. I’m desperate for them to bring Chronicles X to the Switch though as you say, I doubt that will happen. I put in hundreds and hundreds of hours across these titles and still not fully seen everything. I’m a huge fan just like you and have lots of the collectible merch and books etc. Thanks for posting this. It’s made my day. Great vid! 👍🏻😊👍🏻
Xenogears is legendary games in Ps1.
So glad you made this video, one of my favorite game series which my favorite game, Xenogears, belongs to.
Poor Europe never ever got Xenogears and got only 1 Xenosaga game lol. Wow imagine being a JRPG fan there.
Poor Europe?
Remember Operation Rainfall? ;-)
Kagoo98 and Terranigma
Yeah, and it was Xenosaga 2 too. They added a DVD with like 10 hours of cutscenes from the first game so you could understand the story, but come on, who's gonna watch all that? A re-release of the trilogy would actually be pretty cool and get more people interested in the franchise thanks to Xenoblade's popularity
We in America were almost screwed out of Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. I remember there being detailed guides informing people how to soft mod their Wiis so that they could import them.
But they were the ones to get Xenoblade before americans
I always found this series fascinating. Every game is very unique and stands on it's own, but they all share the same story concepts and their ambitious sense of scope. I still haven't completed Xenogears and most of the Xenosaga trilogy, but I appreciate all of the games for what they are, especially Xenoblade Chronicles, which is in my opinion one of the best games ever made. My dream would be a HD remaster of Xenoblade Chronicles for the Switch and a port of XCX with Quality of Life and balancing improvements
Matt16006 you should finish xenogears and see how much xenoblade took from it's crazy
Wow johnny we have almost identical Xeno series collections, im also an old school fan and have played many of the earlier ones multiple times. It never hurts to go back and give gears another play through, you always get a little bit more out of it.
Man, I was just thinking about Xenosaga, this is great!
You are a living legend! The years I have watched you and the joy you have given me. I am so grateful of that:)
because of this video I decided to marathon the entire series. i'm currently starting xenoblade chronicles on the wii. so far xenoblade seems to be my favorite, but I loved all the games. they all had their own charm
I adore this series! I still have to play the PS2 games but I've played all the others (have yet to complete them lol) but having a wonderful time taking my time and exploring, doing quests, etc. I truly hope they keep making more Xeno games.
Awesome game series ! I need to play the rest of the xeno series
Best series ever. Especially Xenoblade. Awesome video!
nice one man! i have nearly evrything u have aswell, only never played the xenosaga. looking forward to that
About time for an updated version of this post!
I love Xenogears so much it blew me away playing it a few years ago and is my second favorite game, its so cool that you have perfect works. It really is beyond a video game, the way I thought of it was on another level above games that are on another level above excellent games.
My favorite part of the day is always after work, get drunk, watch HappyConsoleGamer videos. I have watched you since the beginning and I have seen all of your videos. Point is they never get old! Johnny you are amazing and I’ll always be here watching. Thank you.
I was gifted the artbook you showed at 12:25 ( the xenoblade cronicles one ) and I didnt know where it came from, now I know, thanks :)
Digging these collection vids. Keep it up Johnny
I am really jealous of your awesome collection. I started with the series with XC2 back 2018 and I regret not buying the physical editions of XC2, TTGC and XC:DE when I could.
I've been playing through the series in preparation for XC3 and today I just finished Xenosaga Ep II, awesome game.
johnny, great video. my favorite game franchise. keep doing it. u r great
I am happy to say I share a lot of similarities with you on this collection, except for 2 I never played Chronicles or Chronicles 2. I even have them sexy books for Gears and Saga :). I'm a little late on posting this lol, cause I've been watching catching up on your passed vids. Love your content.
I picked up a copy a couple of years ago now of Xenogears because of your recommendation but I put it down for awhile now and got wrapped up in life since, looks like I may pick it up and go hard and finish it
I hope Xeno never stops.
Hands down best games ever made.
Here's to the future !
Ilias Mastrogiorgos gonna have to wait a bit since they are taking a break with their new game
Luka Megurine their not taking a break they are already working on a new game since last year
Hansiger Obba that's what I said
break from Xeno games ? You dont know that but it looks more medieval with dragons and stuff from the concept arts
Hansiger Obba I'm 100% sure it's not going to be xeno related heck xenoblade 2 had to retcon the first game to make it related and they also just shoved in the zhohar in for no reason. Takahashi him self said he wanted to take a break.
I really need to pick up X! Such a great series!
Stuff We Play I put 126 hours into the 1st Chronicles on wii. It was exceptional. After about 10 hours of X, I walked away. I couldn’t get into it. I now have the collectors edition of Chronicles 2 and just waiting for having the time to play through it.
Thank you for giving XBC-X some well deserved love! The game is big but so rewarding i think.
I remember reading the review for Xenosaga Ep.1 in Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine, and it was like, "Yeah, you basically have to devote your life to this game for about a solid month to really enjoy it." It was really the first console game to have such a massive lore that it had to come with an in-game appendix that explained the various terms that got thrown around in the dialogue. Even now, Mass Effect and Dragon Age are the only series that come close to how obsessively detailed the world was.
And that detail extended right down to the physical medium; it was also the first PS2 game to use a dual-layered DVD. In jRPGs before it, you rarely saw detailed 3D models of the world's everyday objects. Even Final Fantasy X, if you look closely, uses a lot of prerendered backdrops in the towns. But Xenosaga had keyboards and stationary and dinner plates and everything. Alongside MGS2, it was the game that made you compare penis size with the XBOX and GameCube and take satisfaction in your choice of the Sony brand.
And then Nintendo bought Monolith and they made Xenoblade. Great series as well.
I've always wanted to get into this series, but I was so intimidated by the scope of it all that I didn't know if I had time or the will to get through it all. I love RPGs and this series sounds amazing so I might give it a shot.
Such a good video! I love your enthusiasm talking about the series, I can really tell you have a passion for games, like I do. Good work mate.
Very well said on Xenogears! I couldn't agree more with your points!
My favorite rpg series
great collection! every time you upload I get excited to see what you have to say, keep up the excellent work Johnny!
I’m telling yeah man. My phone is self aware. I just picked up Xenosaga 1,2,3 yesterday and then this pops up for me. Lol on another note great video. Very cool
Great video. I absolutely loved Xenogears when it came out on the Playstation right around the time I was graduating college, but I missed completely missed Xenosaga for some reason. Xenoblade Chronicles and its sequel are two of the best JRPG's of modern times, IMO. They've really picked up the mantle of that grand, epic JRPG that we used to see back in the mid to late 90's, and carry on that spirit like no other series does. Hoping to get a port of Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, as I never owned a Wii U.
It’s funny how Xeno started PlayStation exclusive but now it’s Nintendo exclusive.
So odd that you should post this the same week that I started playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Love it so far, even went and bought the amazing soundtrack.
Wow I've only ever played final fantasy/DragonQuest games, but since watching you johnny you helped me discover new RPG's/JRPG series Such as Ys and Now Xeno ive gotta go buy these games as soon as i can fantastic.
I totally fell in love with xenogears. I never have played the xenosaga yet I definitely will if it becomes a collection remaster or I'd buy them all seperate as remasters as well.
By a happy coincidence, as a newcomer to the series I just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS. I did not even realise it was related to Xenogears. This was really interesting, thanks! Oh, I am really enjoying Xenoblade, and I could well imagine sinking hundreds of hours into it!
So jealous of what you guys got over there. In Europe we only had Xenosaga 2 with a dvd describing 1s story and the Xenoblade games. Not even Xenogears on the ps store!!!
Such a great series. I think I'm only missing Xenosaga 3 because like you, I got kind of bogged down in the series after the second one. Now I would love to go back and revisit the series after hearing how much you enjoyed 3.
thats a sick collection Johnny! I grabbed the collectors edition of Xenoblade chronicles X i opened it he he, you actually get the soundtrack on a mini usb stick thats themed with a robotic outter look on the usb stick itself! kinda cool! game is definitely underappreciated for sure tho! its a better rpg than most people realize which is to bad!
I remember playing Xenogears in junior high. Me and my brothers were BLOWN away! Good times man good times!
Xenogears is my favourite game of all time. It changed my life!
Xenoblade Chronicles X is my second favourite, I love the idea of a city from Earth landing on an alien planet, and then building it up.
I am playing Xenogears right now for the first time and I am loving it.
I would love to see a video of you talking about the game and hearing your thoughts of it, it doesn't have to be a review.
"I don't have a time for 150 hours" - just to let you know, I have 600+ hours in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 already, and they still not finished with new content :) thanks for showing us your collection. This is my dearest series of all, and Monolithsoft is on par at the top of Japanese developers with Falcom, slightly behind. Thank you again.
The Xenosaga trilogy is one of my favorite game series of all time and one of the reasons I got into rpgs.
Oh Johnny i recommend playing Xenoblade Chronicles on Dolphin emulator, it looks so amazing with the enhanced visuals and stable framerate.
Xenosaga HD Switch please!
I grew up on the ps1 but i didnt play xenogears till i was an adult and it completely blew me away. Kinda bitter sweet about this video because i would really like to get the hcg review but oh well
Beautiful collection! i envy u! hahaha. Thank u for share ur passion... for me Xeno''universe'' and Zelda both are my favorites sagas.
I share with u the feeling about Xenogers... !:)=)=)
Greetings from Chile!
I didn’t realize you had so much stuff from the series! I want to see your dynamite DUX collection next!
Xenogears tied for my #1 favorite game of all time. Great collection.
i played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 a few months ago..Its was my first xeno ..It immediately became one of my favourite jrpgs ever and i played a lot of them..I bought xenoblade chronicles 3D a few days ago and i cant wait to play it....I was fascinating when i searched about the lore of this great franchise...!
I look forward to Sunday's when you release a new video. It's just not a Sunday without a new video of yours
Amazing video! You need to go back and finish X it’s an incredible game! :D
Please make Xenosaga HD Collection Monolith Soft!
I'd sooner take a xenogears remake it's a masterpiece Xenosaga is more like fan fiction 😂
I'm so intrigued by this series, especially Xenogears.
I have the soundtrack too but not that one you have johnny. interesting. I listen to it while I paint. that one and the sf3 3rd strike one. love it.
Loved Xenogears. Have been meaning to play the Xenosaga games, but my ps2 stutters during some of the cutscenes in episode 1.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2, made me feel like I was playing Xenogears again back in 98. There are sooo many similarities to Xenogears, that it's hard not to notice them when you dive deep into the game. I love the whole Xeno series but if I had to rate them it would be: 1. Chronicles 2, 2. Gears, 3. Saga 3, and 4. Chronicles 1. Never got to play X because I didn't have a Wiiu. Just an amazing series.
Xenosaga and Xenogears are absolutely my favourite rpg's
Oh my...a true dream have this wonderful collection!
Love the Xenoblade series, also never finished X. Got the soundtracks for all three of them, they are awesome.
Xenosaga was so great and ahead of its time on ps2 imo
No fucking way! My wife and I were JUST talking about whether you had an extensive Xeno collection and how good a video on it would be lol. My favorite game series, up there with Zelda.
Awesome series!
I have all 3 Xenosaga games, I had gotten all 3 of them at once when I got my copies. I think my Xenosaga II is still sealed (I haven't gotten to play it yet) and my Xenosaga III has the lenticular cover. When I had the deal to get all 3 of them and the price (I for get how much I paid for all 3 of them) was not bad/good I couldn't pass it up. I knew I wouldn't see all 3 of them together and haven't. But your collection of Xeno games is amazing, I love it my friend.
Xenogears was one of the few games of that era I easily put over 100 hours into.
I love Xeno series. I realize this video is 4 years old now but I just saw it now. I absolutely adore Xeno games, although, Xenosaga was less good in my opinion. Not bad, but not good either. I would put them in order of 1. Xenogears, 2. Xenoblade X, 3. Xenoblade (1), 4. Xenoblade 2, 5. Xenoblade 3. And then the sagas, don't rember them well anymore.
To your question, Xeno X is really underrated. You totally should play Xeno X if you haven't already! I wish I still had it, I wanna replay it so bad. You can always play little bit at a time if you don't have much time on your hands. My only negatives about it is the New LA music, and the terrible cliffhanger in the end of the game which will probably never be continued. Music anywhere else is wonderful, and I got used to the city music in time, so it wasn't that bad after all.
Xenoblade 3 hadn't seen daylight yet when you recorded this but I'll just leave my opinion about it here anyway. It's a great game, but it feels like it's missing a soul. I don't know how else to describe it. It did improve many things compared to what came before, but at the same time it didn't really seem to have a soul. Or an identity. It was trying to make you reminiscent of previous Xenoblades, but left no memory of it's own. Listening the music in the first zone made go find Xenoblade 2 Tantal music track. I loved it. But Xenoblade 3 itself had not a single memorable music track that I had to just stop and listen. And this goes beyond the music. The scenery have some reminiscent places too. I did play 200 hours of it, and finished it too. It's a great game. But even greater games leave it in shadow. That is of course, only my opinion. 😄
XCX is definitely under appreciated. Took me 180 hours to finish the story lmao and i loved it all
OMG!! I never knew this saga was so long!
Somehow I collected everything you showed except the 3ds version of chronicles and the gamepad over the last three years. Haven't even played them all yet. Looking forward to it tho.
Xenogears is easily my favorite PS1 game. Followed up by MGS, but Xeno is #1.
There was also an anime produced of Xenosaga in the mid-2000's that's not too bad. Basically follows the first game.
Earlier this year, Square Enix announced they would be doing figures of the characters and mecha from Xenogears under their Bring Arts line, showing off Fei, Citan, and Weltall. I think maybe Elle as well? Don't remember right now.
Anyway, loved the video!
I finally played Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii recently. I was surprised how it got it's hooks into me. My playthrough was about 125 to 130 hours and it didn't feel like a waste of my time...at all! What's so well done is how it rewards you for exploring. It's the simplest little thing, but the game gives you EXP for discovering new areas. It gives a really rewarding feeling and usually there are some pretty nifty things to find in these (sometimes) secret places.
Even though it's a Wii game....I think it looks spectacular. Especially when you reach Gaur Plains for the 1st time and when you're climbing the Mechonis (seeing it's Fallen Arm on the horizon, the place you just visited beforehand) . Plus that music on the Gaur Plains by Ace+.....WOW!!!! So gorgeous! The only thing that's a bit wonky is the character designs, especially their faces, but you get used to it. This was the first Xeno game I've ever played, so at some point I'll move onto Xenoblade X & Xenoblade 2.
Back in the day I owned all 3 Xenosaga games on my PS2. They were kind of difficult but very fun. Did not realize their value until watching this and wishing I'd held onto them.
I remember playing Xenosaga back in college :)
I didn't even know that xenogears and xenosaga were related, I think is interesting this series have jumped from square to namco to nintendo.. Interesting saga
For me Xenoblade Chronicles is the culmination of gaming. Best game ever made. Music, Art , Gameplay , Story and AMBITION. Its fucking flawless. I will own this collection one day too. I swear... awesome video Johny!
I really want remake of all these jrpgs of PS 1, I mean xenogears, legend of dragoon, koudelka, legend of legaia, suikoden 2 will be like dream come true for me
I still haven't felt the itch to play Gears or blade yet but damn did I love Xenosaga! One of my all time favorite trilogies! Albedo has to be in my top 3 for villains I just love him!
