It rocks on toast. It is definately worth playin. It ain't like Xenogears; It's a strategy RPG, quite different battle system.

I've been hearing u guy talking about Xenogears quite a bit lately, and I was wondering if some1 could give me a brief summery of the story and/or gameplay and whether it's worth getting or not.

Xenogers is definietly worth buying, youll enjoy every second of it (i hope). the storyline is the best ive seen till now, and involves sery serious matters such as religion (wich made the game nearly not to be release in the US) and other.

so long as you take the time to make your characters better (i.e. train) you should be alright.

the first battle is hard because all your people SUCK.

(tip on main map screen, hit triangle, and search around in the menus, when you can see the party members hit triangle again to edit jobs and such

It is very fun

Xenogears main story is about Xenophobia(hence the title),but it's not treated in a direct way,and while talking about racism,it also shows how religions manipulate people's minds(which I think is true),and how religion can be related(or not)to racism.

FFT is definetly worth playing unless you're not into the whole strategy part of it. the story is good and involving with many surprises. the only thing is that it can sometimes be frustrating if you're characters are inexperienced.

Yup,I remember one tim when I had to fight against all sorts of chocobos in a river and my characters weren't strong enough,the problem was that I couldn't do any other battle to level up,so I had to restart a new game .

i think i was learning the chemist abilities at that point. i have a habit of learning the classes in order that they appear. unfortunetly, at some point for some reason EVERYONE will be a chemist or archer. doesnt create a winning party seeing how archers are one of the worst classes.
