Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
Dec. 15th, 2012 10:05 pmIn the near future, humanity discovers the mysterious Zohar artifact. In the far future, humanity inhabits the far reaches of space but Earth has been lost; the mysterious Gnosis have been attacking human civilization, and an emulator of that Zohar appears to be responsible for destroying a populated planet.
( You don’t mess with the Zohar. Commentary includes lots of spoilers. )
Overall: I love the overarcing story and the world-building; I’m playing this specifically for that and the pretty cutscenes. The gameplay isn’t great; it’s badly balanced, often repetitive and contains too many ridiculously-hidden important things. Unless you thought playing 70 hours of Xenogears was really worth it for the plot, there’s no need to follow up with this.
