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.

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.

Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character.

The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Survival
