Thanks!
Man, I can't wait to get started with this. I can already feel the nostalgia bomb coming. I'm hoping I'll understand more of the end of the first disc now that I'm 22 compared to when I was 10. Finally a chance to beat the game. I can't find my old discs, I looked, but they skipped anyway.

WTF is this RPS Badge people keep talking about
I can't wait to see everyone's opinions after they finish this game again. I played it when I was around 14 and I'm not quite sure I was able to grasp all the allusions in the game. I always wondered how I would view the storyline nearly 13 years later. I'm curious to hear how it holds up. I'll get around to replaying it myself eventually, but it won't be until at least this Fall/Winter.

I have no idea...can't find it online what you get. Never beaten the RPS guy(never put in the time...took me over an hour) before until I did today. I guess you collect your prize in

From what I can remember... (and I haven't played Xenogears in a looong time so bear with me)
you trade the three badges for three accessories, none of which is particularly great. Unless one of them is the one that makes your Str inverse to your HP... which IMO is one of the best accessories in the game.

I still own the OG Discs for this game...
thinking about doing it again on the PSP. So many other things to play, I wonder I would "get" the story more now as an adult than the first time I played it ten years ago as a teenager.

Thanks for the submissions. I picked the first banner submitted but if members overwhelmingly like the other choice let me know. More are always welcome of course.
I felt like the whole Crucifex Chu-Chu thing might be too much of an inside joke for those that already played, but GAF gets what GAF wants.

I tried running it on an emulator awhile ago but no matter what settings I used I always had problems with the screen going completely black about 30ish minutes into the game whenMelhisedek said:

I'm still coming to grips that Xenogears is actually portable for $10 *tears of joy*
Downloaded it, and really forgot just how damn well the writing in the game is.
But I'm a few hours in and I hooked my bluetooth up and the PSPgo to output on the TV..... and now whenever I load into the game the startscreen is paused and I can't do anything : /
I'm trying to figure it out, because the first time I played this game I got 34 hours in an my memory card got formatted, I want to make it through the entire game now confident that nothing's gonna' glitch up on me...

My experience with emulators has been either you have some really great 3D, at the expensive of some crappy 2D, or vice versa.
Well... I got things to work out by deleting my save and starting over. NO COMPLAINTS HERE! I forget just how deeply satisfying this game is. The main character doesn't only talk, but talks a lot and it works out very well in this case.
Xenogears is so beautiful too, the colors and style even Fei's paintings. The animations do a lot for the battling, and how multiple characters can have dialogue together on the screen does a lot for the narrative.

One small thing that I really like that this game does (which I don't remember seeing in any other games) is that when you talk to most unimportant NPCs, you can still move your character around and even walk away in the middle of the conversation. This is great for if you hit 'X' one more time on accident and just started talking to an NPC all over again or if an NPC is simply saying something completely boring. It's a tiny thing that doesn't really add much to the overall game, but it's something that I still appreciate.
Oh, and also I had completely forgotten about all the awesome 'well' puns in Lahan village. :lol

Not a huge fan of JRPGs, but the hype on this one has me super interested. I played the first 20 mins on a friends PSP....but it seemed slow and plodding.
Does it pick up pace or is it a typical JRPG slog? 10 hours of plane flights this weekend so looking for something exciting (this, Tactics Ogre, or GhostTrick).
Any thoughts?

Great, my original disks have disk errors. Another excuse to DL off PSN, I guess.

I picked this up cause I missed it the first time around and really have always wanted to play it since, but without paying a steep price for it. So I'm really glad it popped on PSN.
Only about two hours in and I'm playing it on my PSP. The controllers are a little disorienting at first, but I've gotten the hang of 'em.
Also, combat seems really tight. Loving it so far.

I cannot believe it's been 13 years since I last played this. I still own the original discs but I downloaded the PSN version for my Go. I am ready to jump back in!
