So... this is a strategy RPG with Marvel vs. Capcom / Smash Brothers style of grab-bag characters from all difference franchises... with a lot of fanservice.
Sounds... okay. Maybe?
Is the gameplay actually any good?

But that requires piracy.
It's crap, just like all the previous crossover games from Monolith. But it's pretty crap chock full of fan service.

KOS-MOS wasspoiler (click to show/hide)a cybernetic reincarnation of the Virgin Mary[close]
and you're wondering whether a knife cutting her top open was a real thing?
KOS-MOS was created by Kevin Winnicot to hold the soul of Mary Magdalene, who possesses the power of Animus. According to the Official Complete Guide, Mary was the human incarnation of Animus, a power that complements Anima. While KOS-MOS has Mary's soul, T-elos was built using Mary's body. In order for Mary to fully awaken, one must be absorbed by the other. Long ago, Mary had died in the act of "sealing" chaos' Anima power, separating it from him and dividing it into the twelve Anima Vessels. This also resulted in Mary's will being scattered across the U.M.N. It is stated that Shion, being the incarnation of the "Maiden of Mary", is needed in order to retrieve Mary's soul from the U.M.N. Mary awakens in KOS-MOS instead of T-elos, which results in the transformation of Mary's original memories and characteristics into an entirely new personality which is both Mary and not Mary at the same time. The game's database compares it to Sakura's transformation into MOMO, Wilhelm planned to use KOS-MOS' control of the Anima through her emotional bond with chaos to start Zarathustra. However, she rejects Wilhelm's plan and destroys the "Key" (Shion's pendant), saving Shion from Wilhelm's torture.
greatest story since the renaissance
holy crap that was actually a real thing!

:comeon :beli :what :mindblown
And people wonder why I make fun of Xenosaga
I only defend the first XS ep and the design doc draft that Takahashi had for ep2/3. After Namco took the reigns of it and made their own version of Xenosaga from ep2 on (even if Takahashi was brought back in ep3) it was a total f-ing mess.
Now xenogears, that's a good story ;)
Now xenogears, that's a good story ;)
fact: i've never understood a single thing of the plot of xenogears and it's still one of the game i remember the fondliest :smugBest typo.

Mechs man. It also at least had a non boring world and an ok cast of characters. There's a sense of adventure as you from area to area(areas which are pretty fanciful) that Xenosaga dosen't have in it's rather generic sci-fi universe.
though when robo jesus comes back for the rapture i'm sure he's going to be pleased his whore girlfriend's new robo body is stacked and bouncy
Now xenogears, that's a good story ;)
:comeon
Mmmm... It would be fair / accurate to say that some of Xenogears story was good.
All in all I think it was a good game, worth having, but there were some janky gameplay bits and some really stupid story bits.
I'm not interested in tactics. I want to kill stuff with Frank West, KOS-MOS, Yuri, Mega Man, Ryu, and more.Which is why it probably should have been an Endless Frontier sort of spinoff.
