I personally admire Xenogears as an idea. I think it's great that a game tried to talk about god and religion in a serious way. But yes, that game's second disc is terrible. You can tell it was botched and that it could have been better. Personally, I also thought the ending was kinda unsatisfying too. I really wanted to see the villain dead after all he'd done, but he gets away!

I suppose Xenosage is supposed to be what Xenogears was supposed to be, although all the character's names had to be changed due to property rights. But do people really have the time to sit through a projected six game cycle where each game has nearly twenty hours of cutscenes?

Well.. Because I can't pick just one since I love so many games I'll list by system which are my favorite games for that system.

Playstation:
FF8, FF9, Lunar SSSC, Lunar EBC, Bloody Roar, SaGa Frontier, Jade Cocoon

PS2:
FFX, FFX-2, SMT: Digital Devil Saga, SMT: Nocturne, Shadow Hearts, Shadow Hearts 2

Gamecube:
Skies of Arcadia Legends, Baten Kaitos, Super Smash Bros .Melee

And now I must ramble about them... Since just listing them isn't enough for me. Out of the normal PS games I have to say FF8 really sticks since that was the first rpg I ever played. The graphics just sucked me in and the plot really drew my attention as well. I've noticed that some people didn't like it or finish it that I've known in the past, but I thought it rocked. Jade Cocoon was also really cool, one of the first games I came across that used voice actors in it. And as for Lunar I have just one word that epitomizes the best feature of that game: Ghaleon. Now ps2 games on the other hand it's a little harder for me to say out of those listings that there's only one I like best. I'm on a big DDS kick right now, hence my avatar but I think FFX I truly truly heart as a game. That and Shadow Hearts, which just blew me away with it's wonderfully dark and intricate plotlines. As for the 'cube I'm not so crazy about it. Baten Kaitos is about the only game in the three I listed that REALLY sticks to my gamers ribs due to it's wonderful plot, innovative gameplay, and soundtrack. Unfortunately I have to say that Super Smash Bros. Melee is the only nintendo produced game I can truly tolerate and even then it's when I'm feeling in a mindnumbing-need-to-whack-stuff mode. I'm not great at platformers is why I think I've got something against Nintendo.

I don't really play games anymore.

I'm surprised that none of the Street Fighter IIs have been mentioned.

I used to own a Mega Drive...aaah the days. I loved this one called Puggsy. And does everyone agree that ooold games like that had the Best music Ever? I wish I could find a place which had the soundtracks.

Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 (Mostly only the tanker part of the game. Everything on the oil rig kind of sucks), Knights Of The Old Republic, Halo, Halo 2, and I'm hoping to add Gears Of War and King Kong to the list once I get my hands on an Xbox360.
