They really had to release two mid games to make the best of them all. I really liked this game but there are some things that didn't feel right to me, like the omission of characters like MOMO or Chaos for mayor part of the history, and a ton of elements and terms in the universe of the game that they didnt care to explain properly (cause they have a database read the database bro) that, to be honest, didnt care that much in the big picture. Shion was great in this game and its my favorite character of the game along with Jr. and KOSMOS. The music was incredible too (Godsbibb the song of all time) and the character designs this time were all great (Im talking about you xenosaga 2).
