Yukiko's dungeon is probably one of the toughest. Once you get a more diverse roster of personae the game becomes pretty easy.
Stop going off-topic, guys! Gawd!
Yeah it does tend to catch people off guard. Keep it up though, and grind up to level 14 or so, and you'll have no problems. Though you can beat it easily at any level if you use strategy.

Shion and KOS-MOS? They're important but not the only characters and they needed to get the URTV story fleshed out. It was going to be a big part of the story no matter what. And anyway you get all the Shion and KOS-MOS you want in Xenosaga 3, along with some conclusions for the other characters.
A shift in character focus isn't enough to make 1 better than 2.
Yeah, the game takes the training wheels off fairly quickly.
Best advice to new people to the series(for the new games) is to just make sure your main character's personas aren't too far behind level wise to your party members. It's hard to do this in Yukiko's, which is part of the reason why it's difficult. Personas need 1.5x exp of the party member/MC's to level, so going for fusions with Social Link bonus exp is the way to go. Yukiko, since you hardly have any links, means you're grinding personas a lil bit.
I liked Xenogears, but that disc 2 ruined the game for me.
If I recall correctly, Episode 2 was supposed to have an even bigger focus on the URTVs than it did, or the story regarding them was supposed to happen differently. I don't quite recall. There was also supposed to be a focus on Shion and her connection to the Zohar; her being one of the "people of the Zohar".
So much was scrapped, but we got it all back in the Xeno III database.

Dangit John; I'm a man of science, not a man of faith! The probability of my victory is at less than 1% right now, and I don't like those odds!
I'm sorry, it looks like you're boned. Mara be with you, Scrafty.
Ohh, I got a shipping confirmation for TLoU. Looks like it'll arrive on release day. That's great! I never get games on release day from Futureshop.

"Be careful what you wish for" is a good thing to say here about MMO combat complexity.
But Disc 2 is when things get awesome.
I knew we could reel it back to Persona talk!

Looks like sunglasses aren't DLC this time, already included
So, I can't post this in a thread of its own because junior status, but I just was linked an article saying that Index is suspected of cooking its books. Could someone more familiar with Japanese actually check this and post it to the main forum if true?
Heh, well I assume one of the reasons Juniors are not able to create threads is because they don't have the know-how (no offense, guess it comes with forum experience) to search if the thread was already made.
Right here.

I leave you with this mix of a billion Megaten, Maken X, and Trauma Center/Team songs. 16 minutes, all of them baller, sweet dreams y'all. Stay classy.
There still the Ouya conference Levito, don't give up!
This is really amazing. Love it.
This is getting me through work today, I love it.
Also, my copy of Nocturne finally arrived today. Time to finally get into that side of Atlus.
Xenosaga talk?! I can get behind this groovy train.
I never got to play Xenogear, it is on my list of shame. But, I semi-agree with your list. Xenosaga III was the epitome of the franchise, and it ended the series all so well. Though, I wouldn't say Xenosaga II was *that* bad. The gameplay was below average, but I really enjoyed the story and music of it!
The voice for Kos-Mos was pure garbage, but she hardly did anything in that game. I really enjoyed the major focus on Rubedo, Albedo, and Nigredo. I obtained a far greater appreciation for those characters. Plus, it introduced Jin (well XS I did that, but barely), and the greatness of the tune, 'Fatal Fight.'
This talk of Xenosaga makes me sad that I haven't touched Xenoblade either.

I have not played Xenosaga.., is it worth getting in to?
, is it worth getting in to?I have not played Xenosaga..
It's an odd series. I've played a good amount of Xenosaga 1, a short amount of Xenosaga 2(hated it), and all of Xenosaga 3(twice). I loved the last one, and it at least gives you a lot of the story information from the previous two if needed.
I have not played Xenosaga..
Yes, if you can somehow get a hold of them all.

That blend of Soul Hackers' world map, DDS2's Sun, and P3's music is brilliant.
Sharp butt.
Definitely top tier
*ahem* jokes aside, I really need to get my hands on a PS2 (mine just died recently) and PS2 megaten games. It's a shame I haven't touched DDS or the Raidou games yet.

I'm not sure what's more amazing, that Beatmania is up to 21 mixes or that there's been no home version since 16.

Yes. But the downside is that the first two games aren't all that special, story aside. Xenosaga 3 however is a massive improvement in literally every way, easily a top 5 PS2 RPG. I'd even argue it's comparable to Xenoblade in quality. I had to play through it twice to truly appreciate it though.
The lore for the series is insane.
I have not played Xenosaga..
My favorite franchise on the PS2. I adored Xenosaga I, eh on Xenosaga II (besides its story and music), and Xenosaga III is on my top 3 list of best RPGs ever.
I have not played Xenosaga..
It's kinda a of unique series and given how much time it is required to complete them (that assuming you don't start to delve into the bonus material...) it's kinda hard to recommend it to just anyone. I believe yes, if you are a JRPG fan you should give them a try. Or at least play Xenogears at least.
At least this trilogy has a satisfying ending unlike a certain Bioware trilogy.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't help myself.
<3 BioWare <3

I'm glad VW brought this back.
Always loved the different plays on the red T. Catherine's was great too.

Thanks for the responses, so should I just get 3 sometime down the horizon being that it has cut scenes that covers the first two games?
Oh and I've play Gears _keiichi_
