It's flippin' Xenogears. Amazing story. Game? Uhh I enjoyed it at least but you might need to look up stuff to actually understand how the battle system works. The game explains very little. Disc 2 can make or break your playthrough due to how little gameplay there is, and it depends whether the pacing of it bugs you or not. It's one of the best stories ever written, but not without flaws so you will want to set your expectations realistically.

God I wish the encounter rate was lower in platforming sections
