Summary: Greatest RPG ever, not named Final Fantasy
Comment: Xenogears is a classic RPG that I rank #2 all-time, only behind Final Fantasy VI. The game is a thought-provoking tale and is one of the greatest RPGs stories ever told. The characters deal with a variety of issues which include class struggles, war, religion, romance and moral dilemmas.

The gameplay is unique also, as it involves human hand-to-hand combat as well as mech ("gear") combat. Combat switches between the two seamlessly. Additionally, many upgrades are available for the gears, which facilitates deep customization. In my opinion, the game was way ahead of its time, and is far superior to the Xenosaga "sequels" that followed on the PS2.

At the time, the fusion of 2D sprite and 3D graphics pushed the PSOne's limits, and to this day, the game still looks great. My only complaint with the game is that the gear battles tend to be on the easy side, while the human battles were typically more difficult. There could have been better balance between the two.

Regardless, Xenogears is a must-own if you consider yourself an RPG fan.

Summary: Epic RPG that will NEVER get "out-dated"
Comment: This game is easily one of THE BEST RPGs ever made. I played this game for the first time when I was around 10 years old. I am now 18, and I STILL love this game. The game has a great story-line, interesting character line-up, and pretty decent graphics for a PS1 game. Combat system is easy to follow, and the combat stays fresh by integrating not only hand-to-hand combat, but allowing your characters to use their Gears (Giant Mechs, made specifically for combat). 2 Discs long, so there's a lot of game to play. This game is, and will always be, one of my personal favorites overall.

Summary: Most Complex Video Game Story ever!
Comment: I played this game 10 years ago. I can still say that this is one of most memorable experiences of my teens. (lol yeah I was geek.)
I think the greatest feature of the game was story which was always interesting. I will warn you though that the story is really heavy and questions our very existence.
