>a great mecha game
oh-nononono
How come most Mecha series suck but when xenogears does it, it's considered a masterpiece?
There's nothing nonsensical about its philosophy / psychology references though, unlike Eva every single name and concept are actually realized through their role in the plot and theme and not just window dressing
You just proved him right
User scores are always more accurate than "critics" who are too shit to even beat the first mission
I enjoy Elly's hips here

Id's entire character already proves you wrong.

The story and lore of this game is Japanese Kirkbride level.
The characters are COOL.
It's a niche game in a niche genre at the end of a console's life, and hard as balls even for experienced players
And it's genuinely the best game FROM has ever made
back in those days jrpgs were massively overhyped to retried levels and it just carried over because the game was obscure enough for no one to actually play it, let alone get to the visual novel half.
