Hmmm, word is that the stuff in the Xenosaga Trailer actually aren't in Xenosaga...

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Imagine that... seems like all the cool stuff are for episode 2 (assuming that each episode correspond to one of Fei's incarnations, by episode 3 they're so far in the future that none of the original character should be still alive).

My interest in the game suddenly went down by a lot.

The game so far opens up like any mecha Anime you've seen before. Humanity gets spanked by alien thingys (Gnosis) and all that good stuff, and there seems to be a good amount of Eva-like random religious stuff that doesn't make any sense (e.g. the years are in TC XYZ: Transcend Christ).

<b>Spoiler Message:<b>
<span style="background: black; color: black;">People are reporting that Citan does not appear in the game at all, unlike what the Xenosaga Trailer shows. I guess this isn't too surprising consider Citan shouldn't have been even born yet.</span></div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Personally, I didn't think the story of Xenogears was anything special, but I loved the adventure aspect of the game, it played out very well for the most part, there were a few slow scene's though.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>There are some very long scenes where all you get to do is watch. Yes you can skip them but you've to watch it at least once, and they're *long*. We're taking about half an hour+ at a time.</div>
