Gee, I hope I can make this jump. (disc booting intensifies)

Played it for the first time last year and I really liked it.

Except for that fucking Tower of Babel.

It's hard to explain the pain of this area to people who haven't played it.

What do you call Albedo then? A man-child? Just some punk with a weird obsession? A wannabe-pediatrician-turned-school-bully?

What about Virgil? He was snorting up Realians and wasted them at every opportunity with thinly-veiled excuses - regardless if he had a bad experience with one, the man's at least a war criminal.

I get what you're saying, their motivations seem to be justified in the end, but whitewashing their misdeeds and their role in the story is not a good way to go about characters. Best example is how they superimposed Albedo into a messianic figure by being whisked away in a crucifix pose - it's not only using it as a lauded symbol (like Chuchu was) but also deliberately ironic that this (somewhat) tragic monster is now an idol of suffering. I liked to hate Albedo not because he emulated a stoic philosopher, but how he reveled in expressing his hatred in ways no sane person could, much like Ramsus, Grahf and Id.

Call them what you want, but apart from Ziggy, Jin, and KOS-MOS, the antagonists were much better-written to be likable characters and less prone to ill-performed melodrama.

But this is irrelevant to how the Xeno series will be remembered, like pic related.

I played through the first one when it came out, but never played the 2nd and 3rd games. Recently, I downloaded the undubbed version of the first game and found I'd forgotten everything about the game. It's fun, but eh... I've played Xenogears so many times that Xenosaga's ideas all tend to sound like repetition of old images and themes, just shuffled around. Like Cherenkov is a little bit Fei, a little bit Ramsus, bits and pieces of other things, etc. I still want to finish it all some day, but I had to take a break.
