Xenogears
- February 11, 1998
- Square
An RPG with interesting combat and a story unlike any other game. A disappointing final act sours the experience.
In Xenogears, Fei Fong Wong and other characters navigate a world influenced by philosophies of Nietzsche, Freud, and Jung, seeking truth about mysterious entities. The game explores psychological themes, such as identity and memory, and the relationship between humanity and machines, as characters control giant robots called gears. World religions are represented in fictionalized forms, adding depth to the game's narrative.
