Xenogears has awesome music, lore, detailed characters and world-building, and is a very ambitious game that tries to cover a ton of content. In these regards it is arguably one of the best jrpgs out there, and many people appreciate it for these aspects.
On the other hand, it has a wonky camera, annoying controls especially when it comes to platforming, dated graphics, rather basic and repetitive combat, and tons of slow text that often gets buried in the lore. In addition it takes about 25 hours for the plot to start to come together. And rightly, a bunch of people cant stand Xenogears for these reasons.

So it really comes down to which camp you fall in. Every player has to decide if the pros outweigh the cons.
