#80 Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bse (Playstation 2, 2005)

What a weird game to have on my list! I don't even know for sure why I like this series. But I do, even though I would consider it a guilty pleasure. At the time, there were not many other JRPGs that relied so much on cutscenes, and I kind of dug it, especially because this is yet another game with a really cool and dumb story. Xenosaga is a bunch of a science fiction bullshit and I'm not going to go into the story because it's really all too complicated.



The game plays like your typical active turn-based battle system JRPG. Characters take their turns to attack, can use items and techniques, and do dual-tech attacks. If I remember correctly, there is a lot of time spent charging things. Episode II has the weakest battle system of the three, but I still enjoyed it. Between battles and the hours of cutscenes, you travel around areas and do quests and stuff like that. You can see enemies on the field so there are no random battles, which is nice. Also a pretty good soundtrack.
