5/10

I got the "allure" of this game. It's weird, it's off the wall, and it's got that EVA style wacky "religious but not really" stench that pervades all Xeno games. Coming off of Xenosaga, playing this felt like a, "That's it?" It had characters and motivations I didn't understand, Elly/Miang, Id/Fei, and well...Krelian's whole plan is ripped straight from the sci-fi bin, and with no subtlety.

Much like FFXII, this is one of those popular games I just don't "understand." I would try again, but then I'd remember trying to do Kislev Sewers, Tower of Babel, or the final dungeon again, get lost, and fight fifty random encounters over and over before remembering, "Oh yeah, this game has a story. I remember it somewhere, but the gameplay is shit."
