Hello,
Some of you are intrigued by the episodes of xenosaga, and most of you are new to this story. The inspiration and fifth episode of xenosaga is called Xenogears, a game developed in 1998 for the PSONE, launched in America by the defunct squaresoft, now known as Square Enix. The story of Xenogears resembles to the Anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, but with a darker tone. It relates the story of Fei Fong Wong, a man with some innate talents like martial arts and painting that was abandoned in a village and how a very violent and unfortunate event wipe out his village and sent him out to find the truth of his past and the reason the world he lives is in war. I would like to tell you more, but seriously this is one of the best RPG's ever made that you must find and play for yourself. It really explains much of the elements shown in Xenosaga, like the Zohars, the purpose of nephelim, chaos and adam, the future of kos-mos, the outcome of the realians, among other events not explained in the xenosagas.
The reason that square did not made a sequel to xenogears was because they were putting more effort and money to the final fantasy franchise, and fired the Xenogears development team to cut costs, in my opinion a very inane move. A couple of years later the Xenogears development team founded Monolith Software. They were very passionate with the story and gameplay of xenogears, but they couldn't launch a sequel by themselves because Square Enix didn't give or sell them the rights to do so; so they made a game that follows in most ways the xenogears elements but have its own touch, a franchise known as Xenosaga. The xenosaga episodes are very well crafted; but they never achieve the perfection of the storyline and fighting system of xenogears. You may think that I am talking crap with this statements, but if you manage to put your hands in xenogears you will not be dissapointed. The only thing that may put you down about Xenogears are the graphics because they are playstation one caliber, with 2d sprites(for human and small to medium characters and monsters) with 3d(Robots[Gears] and large monsters) in a 3d environment. The story is shown by text with character portraits(varying with their emotions) with an Anime look in all of them. I personally own the game and can tell you it is one masterpiece of gaming.
