Xenogears is... A valued memory of mine. But also an important lesson: sometimes, ambitions can be lethally high.

It's a great game, one I value the experience of. But it is not a masterclass of all apsects, only some. The aspects that are great are the insanely epic and entertainingly non-sensical story, plot, characters and world. It has been a constant fascination throughout my playthrough. But that's also why I remember this game as a story instead of a game, because the gameplay on the other hand is... Janky. And it can get a bit frustrating sometimes.

But that still doesn't change the fact that I will definitely be obsessed with the story, world and themes that this game presents. I constantly go through recap videos that discuss this game, because it's so entertaining! That's why I wish for a remake with the original team behind, because perhaps that lethally high ambition might be... Fulfilled someday.
