Playing Xenosaga right now. Some of the dialogue is kinda cheesy, but otherwise a good game. The story gets really long at parts (like XG Disc 2), but I actually like storyline (unlike some people here).

To say you like the storyline would imply there actually was one in Xenosaga...

VG developers simply don't have the millions of dollars to spend on high-quality writers.</div>

I'll be hardpressed to see another game where you can finish one part and still know NOTHING about the whole story.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You could've skipped Episode 1 and began the game on Second Miltia and you wouldn't miss anything. Well you'd miss some pointless flashbacks but then it's not like the flashbacks are in a way that'd actually make sense so I'd assume they'd have to show them again later on to explain exactly what happened.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>well, seeing as how there are practically no episode style video games where one game follows the story of another game then i would say you are right.</div>
