xenosaga episode III completed!

9.27.2006
the xenosaga series was supposed to have many episodes but looks like they ended it at episode III. sad, no more xenosaga to play anyway even though i thought that the game could still be continued because the problems that were faced were not exactly solved and the future still remains unknown.

just as i expected this game to be great as it has always been, this game is my type of perfect game that i love to play. it has one of the best storylines, i think the creators and script writers went through ALOT of effort to create this game and the plot because there are too many complications and terms in this game and so many things going on that its even hard for me to remember the whole story starting from episode I. but good thing there's a database system in xenosaga III that helps to keep track of the storyline from the past episodes and current episode with full coverage of the chars, terms and storyline of this game. so there's much to be read! other than the storyline the technology in the game is so advanced and the design of the dungeons and fmvs are so well done. there are so many fmvs to watch, playing this game is like watching movie ^^.
so... in xenosaga III many many interesting things are revealed throughout the game. more of the game revolves around shion and her bf kevin and kosmos and telos a who's designed after kosmos also the things about vector's company CEO wilheim and the testatements, more about shion's father and the miltia event in the past, including febronia and virgil also chaos ... alot of things lah. so... which is actually the best xenosaga in the whole series. i would say all of them rox and u must play episode I and II to understand the story in III because if you don't play I or II ithink the feeling of completing the game and understanding the story is a bit hard. the ending is sad and happy (no spoilers) but a very nice and long ending, v.well deserved too for beating the game.
so basically the gameplay for xenosaga III is actually quite short but there's still alot of battles. the music is not as nice as b4 but the battle system is a bit different. instead of comboing enemies for normal char battles you can't hit them to the ground or sky anymore. there's a new system which involves break damage that every enemy and char has a break gauge that when filled they will knock out for a while. the ES battle improved also. now ESs can combo, revenge (i forgot whether xenosaga II also can anot). doing the sidequests in xenosaga is always fun! so i try to do most of them if i can. my fav chars are still Jr. and chaos and they look really cute in their swimsuits!
