C0LDFusion's Journal: Oh hell yeah!

Fuck yes. The gaming industry has made it. I've contemplated what "it" would be... and many times, I have been close to seeing "it". But, I finished considering what "it" was, and I bought Xenosaga: Episode I- "Der Wille zur Macht", a game long awaited. Little did I know that Xenosaga was going to be "it".

HOLY FUCK. XENOSAGA BITCHES YOU. AND YOU ENJOY IT. Yes. Xenosaga is what I've wanted from an RPG. Here are the details:

1) No random encounters. This is the "Chrono Trigger" element which made life good for me. Pick and choose when you wanna fight. Explore areas and feel free, not getting caught off guard.
2) Kick-ass graphics. My god. Xenosaga's graphics are amazing. I mean, they bitch the best I've ever seen.
3) Storyline. The most important part. Xenosaga is an 80-hour game. Yes, you read correctly. It's not a typo. 80(Eighty) hours. With over 30 hours of cinematic cutscenes. In games before, story lacked, and RPG makers covered it up with excessive random encounters (I'm looking at YOU, Square).
4) Main Character. Dude. Shion Uzuki is a woman. And she's not the typical Aeris type woman, nor is she the Lara Croft woman, and she isn't the Ami Mizuno [Sailor Moon] type, either. She's a mix. A smart woman who is strong, yet emotional. I haven't gotten far, but I already think she kicks ass.
5) Best of all, it's a series where they tell you IN ADVANCE that "Yes, there will be sequels." and with Episode I now setting the standard with the Xenosaga story, it can only get better.

I implore you to buy this game and support Namco for investing in its success. Do what I did, trade in all your old PSX games...trade in old DVD's...do what it takes! GET THE FUCKING GAME, d00d.


Updates on the game will be oncoming once I finish...
