Decent 3.5 game with a nice connecting storyline to the other two games. Gameplay is kinda slow but it can be fun strategizing.
It's a good tie-in game to the first Xenosaga. Do NOT play this game first, it doesn't hold up. Gameplay is hit & miss with battles that can be slow with how, 'STOCKING' a core game mechanic works.
The story is better than it's gameplay to me, but the story is not as well written as the first game. Too many boring side missions that lock away essential gameplay skills.
EVERYONE learns the same skills which means the unique feel of all characters from the first game is ALMOST gone. Characters have few unique attacks yes, but that's a part of slowing the game down not making it better. With knocking enemies up or down and stocking take turns to setup while enemies rain death on you.
The story kinda makes it better but the game is not as unique as it was, nor as cool as the next game Xenosaga Episode III, I LOVE KOSMOS' NEW DESIGN in that one.
