Story:Xenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.Show more

I played this game so many times as a kid and many more as an adult. One thing I can say is the story is on another level to any other game released EVER! The characters are well fleshed out and you truely do care what becomes of them (even the fringe characters).
There is so much about this game/story that is relevant to today. It's just a shame that games like this don't get made anymore because the games industry is shareholders first, last and gamers only matter when were not buying a product.
Sorry for the semi-rant, amazing game. Needed a remaster over a decade ago and would love to see a full remake and have the team finish disc 2 :).
Such a special game that deserves to exist outside of the PS1. It stands on the shoulders of the giants that are Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger, and proves that it deserves to be counted among them. The battle system is one of the most unique and fun that I've ever seen in an RPG, and the story is enthralling. Please bring this to modern systems!!
THE BEST GAME EVER

This masterpiece, Xenogears, will always be on top in terms of narrative quality and any game after it only pales in comparison. The only way I can see it be surpassed is for a remake, or at least a port, to be released! And a PC port on GOG will be way better than nothing! A dream come true for veterans and a gateway of entry for novices that have yet to experience the Best Game of All Time!! 😁👍
Best game ever made with the best soundtrack in a game and the best story I've ever seen in a game. Too bad both Square and Monolith refuse to acknowledge this game.
Somehow I feel like even new-gen players know about this game but haven't had the opportunity to play it, which is a very sad thing. I remember playing this as a kid, and not knowing what the hell I was playing besides noticing how fun the combat and characters were. I was too young to know the depths of this incredible game, which sadly had a rushed ending. Probably my most-requested game to get a remaster or remake, which is funny it hasn't despite smaller/less known games getting the treatment. I'll admit I don't remember much and I should return to it again, but I will hold out for something new if possible.

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
