Bumping this cuz Xenogears deserves it.
Wooo System ID. Too bad even at the maximum generator output, Weltall-2 STILL falls short of Weltall's (and by extension, True Alpha Weltall's) output. (This information is contained explicitly withing Perfect Works.) Also worth pointing out that Weltall-2 is a slapped-together recreation of what Balthazar and Melchior had layin around.
Fenrir is SO epic, Perfect Works cannot even contain its specs for fear that the pages would simply explode under the pressure of the immense awesome.
Perfect Works doesn't mean shit to me. As far as I'm concerned it's not Xenogears.
System Id was broken as fuck in the video game and thus is stronger than Fenrir and is better.
You just pissed cause Chu-Chu could walk all over every gear if you spent time on her.
Don't know how many people know about this, or if I was the only one who didn't know about this till the other day, but if your a fan of Xenogears soundtrack you should check out:
OneUp Studios - Xenogears Light
It's VERY well done just got it the other day and I am very impressed with what they did with Yasunori Mitsuda's work.
They also have one for Chrono Trigger but haven't listened to it yet.
I've recently started playing this game for the first time, and while I love the story, I have to say that it is one of the most difficult games to explore in. The camera angle is so restrictive that dungeons are just god awful to navigate. Otherwise though, I love the game.
Let's face it, the only reason anyone uses fenrir is because Citan is such a broken character on foot
Citan could be riding a fucking Tin Robot and you'd still use him.
Ya, that's the Alpha&Omega party! :D Citan is badass, while grown-up Esmeralda, even if not as great, is still pretty nice, and my fav. character in general.
My fav char is Elly in a gear with Ether doubler...for the whole game til you lose her :/
If you don't use Citan something is really wrong with you
Always always always gotta have Citan in my party. And Maria, just so I can use Seibzahn. If I'm at a lengthy foot-party part of the game, I replace her with Bart, or Esmerelda.
Every character always got an equal share of time in my party.
Except Rico, no one like Rico.
Rico's pretty brutal... he's just too slow <_< I guess there's ways to fix that but i never bothered.
Fixing rico means sacing an acc slot for some agi booster.
Which is lol, since any other character can get his level of STR by using that slot for shit like long dark coat or something. Not to mention you can boost STR fairly painlessly with Drive, while Agi pretty much stays the same the whole game short of using some ACC or lolenvironmentgear parts.
Emeralda is awesome on the ground that she's the only character in the game that has stat growth even close to citan, and once you unlock her adult form, getting +1/2 to all stat cept agi on level up is basically a given.
That and she's the defacto ether user once Elly is gone, not to mention Crescens have fairly decent chance to reach infinity, not that it fucking matters since 3x power magic + ether doubler = 9999 damage each turn.
No love for billy? He was always in my party (usually w/ Citan), one way or the other. Awesome spells are awesome.
I don't think I've ever used buff/debuff spell in Xenogears short of Wild Smile on Calamity.
Billy has some haste shit... worth using but doesn't Citan get one as well? Been awhile since I played but I do believe he does.
I like Citan and Emeralda(mainly because of her awesome side-quest/story). Bart is also quite good, <333 Andvari.
Rico is quite wicked as well...fun to play at least.
Best standout memory of Xenogears was how much I loved spamming Kokei. And the Soylent factory.
