One of my all-time favorite RPGs. This is just about as perfect as it gets. Amazing story, awesome characters... oh, and being able to fight in both human and robot form is pretty darn cool. Also, the Xenogears Battle Arena is one of the best 'mini-games' within an RPG, IMO. Unlike some RPGs that're just bogged down with tedious and dull mini-games *ahem* Final Fantasy VII. The only thing I didn't like about Xenogears was Chu Chu. Chu Chu is this cute furry pink hairball that just didn't fit into the game at all. It's almost as if it was just there for the sake of having something cute.
Good news for purists--there's an unofficial patch that tries to restore the US version to the Japan version as much as possible. Includes Japanese voices with subtitles, restores the battle/control system to the original Japanese version, etc. Check the [[link:http://alcahest.club.fr/XG2.0/xg2.0.html Xenogears 2.0]] homepage for details.
