"the future is overflowing with hope, and we have infinite paths to choose from"
the xenosaga trilogy were the games I chose as a gateway to the xenoseries and these games did NOT dissapoint. the 3rd game in specific is something I see as peak fiction, literally perfect in my eyes and even more impressive for the time it was created. the game is filled with themes like, existentialism, determinism, hope, identity, suffering and many more. The game also HEAVILY refers to religions like: Christianity, Judaism and Gnosticism. The games can be really confusing at first because all of the complex themes presented but how these themes are inserted is done so well and in a way it moves me to a high extent. Especially the ending of the game, man. that was actually peak fiction to me and one of the best endings in gaming, in fiction.
Shion as a main character resonated with me a lot since I see a lot of myself within her. With all the suffering she has went through regarding the past, present, future, she endures all of this and is told that there is hope within the distant future and the power of free will we all hold gives us endless opportunities to choose our own way of life. Shion is an incredible character and the best part to her is her feelings and how she deals with things, her psychology is very important in the game and her journey revolves around it. Her character journey is so beautiful I think shion is one of the most "real" characters ever, she just feels so real like she's a human almost. Shion is there with raiden with being the best characters in gaming for me, if not the best.
the cast is also an amazing part of the game, each character gets their individual peaks giving each character their own special moments, this happens a lot in xenosaga ep 3 since things are starting to get more intense now. This game got me feeling emotional over pretty much almost every character in the main cast. The cast is super consistent in terms of individual value, they're all good in their own ways and portray different ideas and psychological reactions to situations. I love the cast a lot and defo one of my favourites ever
literally this game is perfect I love it, this is a mini review and also my first one here on backloggd so I hope you liked it
