Um. I
am talking about the final Xenosaga right now...
ANYWAY I BEAT XS3 TODAY AND NOW I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT AND CRAP SO SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE GAME SHALL FOLLOW

THE ENDING MADE ME CRY AND WANT TO BE HAPPY. SO I CRIED. The entire final dungeon took me about eight hours. And keep in mind I beat the final boss in a rather cheap way, so that took almost no time at all. IT'S ALL STORY AND E.S. LEVI, GUYS.
But yeah. Awesome game. The best Xenosaga. I want more and I get sad when I realize that there is almost no chance that it will be continued.
HOWEVER, AS MUCH AS I LOVED IT I HAVE TO NITPICK OR SOMETHING ON A FEW THINGS. And stuff. Yeah.
People overreacted with the censorship, really. The only two scenes that actually seemed to be hurt by it were Jin's death scene, because it made it seem so... fake, and the scene with young Shion and Aoi. Because, you know, it makes no sense if you didn't already know that the blood was removed. <_<
And yeah. The Virgil thing I brought up before. Makes no sense. Also, for some reason the third game shows a scene where Kevin gives his mother's pendant to Shion, and the game seems to go by that, considering they're all like "THAT'S WHY I ENTRUSTED THIS TO YOU SHION", but it makes no sense. In the first game, Shion took it when he died. As in, it wasn't given to her. Especially not while she was wearing only panties and a shirt.
Also, something else that bothered me. At one point in the final dungeon, after a boss (honestly, I forgot which one, there are like five billion in there so I don't know, I think it was T-elos) the dialogue will suddenly be... not so great? I noticed two annoying mistakes. Now, I don't remember the exact lines, but this is close enough.
"She has awaken." - I SEE BAD GRAMMAR THERE WILHELM WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU.
"That's effecting it?" - Needs more affecting. *cries*
AND NO VALKAN IT IS NOT RELATED TO XENOGEARS IN THAT WAY. WITH THE WHOLE OMEGA ID/MAI=MARIA/AIZEN=OLD MAN BAL/LEUPOLD=SEIBZEHN(WHICH SUCKS IN BATTLE BYT HE WAY)/RAMSUS>EMERALDA STUFF. But the most important thing is that Abel is U-DO. That really would make no sense if it's supposed to be the same Abel, considering exactly what U-DO is.
I knew Yuriev had an evil laugh! <3 Unfortunately, it's nothing compared to Albedo's... :(
WAIT ONE LAST THING. Why the hell did they call her Mary if there's already a Mary? Did they forget that Mary Godwin existed? How incredibly lame. I refuse to call that woman Mary.
