its best to think of xenosaga as one long game with a terrible middle section
just gotta power through episode 2 and things will be fine

but episode 2 does have a few moments that are really good like the car chase, and shion scene withc cecily and cathe

Just because someone lists a game at that price doesn't mean it's selling for that much. It's like those $500 Facebook marketplace listings of damaged Charizard cards from the 2 set that reprinted the base set.

2 is amazing and doesn't deserve most of the hate it gets.

That's not Amazon's doing. Those are 3rd party sellers. No one will be buying that copy though. You can find them on ebay for around $300 on average

Because it's an older game with a limited amount of copies. Low supply means demand drives the price up

Pretty sure anything that high on Amazon is bot-priced. There's so many Amazon sellers with nonsensical prices that must be determined through some kind of badly optimized algorithm because I refuse to believe humans can be that bad at figuring shit out so often.

Well I disagree
I am morally opposed to emulation and am not just saying that to cover my ass in case a mod sees me
Now I'm going back to playing xenosaga which I bought like a decent person after selling a kidney to Pay for it

Yeah, that software company that closed in the '90s really needs those 3rd party sales...

only people who lack moral fiber think that way
those of us with motal fiber would never deign to emulate
its beneath us
it would be different if emulation was a victimless crime like arson
but nintendo suffers everytime someone emulates <insert favorite obscure nes game here>

Eternally happy I snagged Episode 3 for $40 as late as 2017. Didn't have the case or manual, but both discs worked just fine.

But yeah, with the used game market as horrendous as it is, Acquiring them from Friends is the move.

The absurd prices for Xenosaga are why I haven't even bothered to try those games yet. Like yeah I can emulate them if I really wanna play them, but I'd rather buy them in some fashion without having to empty my bank account or wallet.

You can check out my sig for a summary of the games so you don't have to play them.
