technically my favorite game of all time, but lots of issues. imo carried by its unique characters and concepts. has my favorite world state in any RPG. english dub is rough to work with due to some especially noteworthy character assassination mistranslations :/
that being said, XB2 is incredibly rich and emotional if you're willing to work with it. can be a beautiful game with a much more serious story than it's usually given credit for. as an individual entry in the xenoseries, if you care to talk to NPCs and do sidequests, really immerse yourself in what's happening, then you'll find a wonderful imaginative world with a lot going on. but if all you do is rush through it between 1 and 3, without considering it further on its own merits, then it's not very good.
