Xeno Series Rankings

Ranked list from all games of the Xeno Series of games. Xenogears, the Xenosaga trilogy (plus, Pied Piper and A Missing Year) and the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy (including Future Connected, Torna - The Golden Country and Future Redeemed) will be on here.

Every game will have a note, explaining my personal feelings. Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode III (since it's the same cast between three games) and all of the main Xenoblade games will have a character ranking at the top.

I love this series a lot, as of now it's my favorite RPG series.

Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra

CHARACTER RANKINGS:
Shion Uzuki > Ziggy > KOS-MOS > Jin Uzuki > MOMO = Jr. > chaos (all are great)

Everyone told me this was the one. And I believed them. And they were right, this is the one. This game does basically everything right. And now I have a new favorite to refer to. A fun game that made me feel so much in the end.

Xenogears
Xenogears
CHARACTER RANKINGS:
Elly > Bart > Emeralda > Billy > Fei > Citan > Maria > Chu-Chu > Rico

Pretty bad dungeon design and very complicated story that has a lot of thematic topics that can be pretty tough to swallow all at once, but has a story that is both impressive and impactful. The combat becomes a lot more fun overtime the more effort put into it, whether it is on-foot or in the Gears

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition

CHARACTER RANKINGS:
Riki > Melia > Shulk > Fiora > Reyn > Dunban > Sharla

Not my favorite in terms of characterization and has the worst combat out of the Blade games, but it still very good and has a good, simple story.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed

CHARACTER RANKINGS:
Rex > Shulk > Nikol > Matthew > A > Na'el > Glimmer

A fantastic ending note to the Klaus Saga.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country

CHARACTER RANKINGS:
Jin > Mythra > Lora > Brighid > Addam > Minoth > Haze > Hugo > Aegeon

Was blitzing through this one and didn't appreciate the side quests as much as I should. I think a replay will do this one some justice, because everything else works. Great combat system.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
CHARACTER RANKINGS:
Sena > Mio > Lanz > Taion > Eunie > Noah

Great combat system, a great main cast, N is a fantastic villain, Chapter 6 is peak, but this has the worst areas and environmental themes in the series. Wish it committed more to being an amalgamation between the Bionis and Alrest, something FR does better.

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
This game is pretty good. It basically plays like Xenogears, which is a plus to me because I love that game and it has a good basis. The dungeon design is pretty bad and I really don't like that areas and overworlds do not have music, but I think the story is interesting and off to a good start. The cast is really unique too and Shion, MOMO and Ziggy are among my favorites. I do think the "Allen sucks" thing is a little too played out though.

Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse
Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse
This game wasn't my jam. Didn't like the combat system, the art direction, the design and VA changes, no shops/cool side quests makes exploring less fun and basically not worth doing. The story and characters are good at least. Jr./Rubedo is massively improved on, Jin is a good addition to the cast, Ziggy had some fantastic moments, and so on.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected

CHARACTER RANKINGS:
Melia > Shulk > Nene > Kino

Not that interesting as an epilogue and feels too limited, but Nene and Kino are cute and the Bionis Shoulder is gorgeous.

If X ever gets out of its "stuck on a different console" state, would you add it to the ranking?

Yes I would add X to my ranking if it were not stuck on the Wii U
