Xenosaga was ambitious, but hit the floor pretty hard in terms of what it should have been compared to Xenogears. Xenosaga was supposed to be chapters one two and three, with xenogears being part four I believe. But it turned out that Xenosaga kinda strayed away from the universe that Xenogears layed down and kinda did its own thing, with only references to the xenogears world. Almost like it was a paralel universe versus an actual prequil series.

Ive been playing square games since 1986, though I have not been in touch with alot of the newer games. I think I fell out after Final Fantasy X. Moved on to Enix games, before the merger, and have since diversified my RPG experiences. I have just about every RPG for the SNES, alot for the PS1 and started to fall off the band wagon on PS2. The Tales series is one of my all time favorites. Star Ocean is a good series as well.

@Loveless: The PSP translation of ToP sucked hard. They removed ALOT of content and little jokes. ToP had a very adult undertone on the Super Famicom, and that was since removed on both the GBA and PSP ports. If you manage to get ahold of ToP for PSX in japanese, either the original or the best series works, talescless.org has a translation project thats been underway for the PSX remake for YEARS, but if im not mistaken they are either done, or 99% done at the time I post this. Just download a PSX emulator and copy your legal ToP ISO then apply the patch to translate it then run it in the emulator. Its a pain in the rear end, but the original translation is worth the trouble.
