Christ this is a tough one to write about.
First, I'd like to thank Mitsuru for sending me download links with this game and Fate Stay/Night. Like 10 months ago.
Anyways is this game good? Yeah, mostly. The greatest flaw in this game is Near Side routes. It's not the worst VN I've played but a bit close. They are so slow paced and after playing the Far Side routes, I found them to have almost zero reason to exist. Not gonna lie, Near Side felt three times as long while Far Side felt like it was half as long. I don't know why. Maybe it was because it took me seven to eight months to wrap up both of them and I finished all the Far Side routes in less than two. I checked with other people and they said Ciel and Arc were terrible routes.
Far Side is great in my opinion. Akiha's route is my favorite. I liked the twists and turns it takes and the ending was quite sweet. Hisui's was also nice and added some interesting concepts. Kohaku's was a bit confusing. It definitely was explaining literally everything about what the fuck was going on but Huh?
The Music? Great buuuut...ten tracks. TEN. This game is forty hours long. It's like Xenogears' lack of music but twenty times worse. I just turned on some classic rock music or fifteen different versions of Ys III - Morning of Departure on repeat. I actually did that. I swear I'm not a schizo. The tracks the game has are actually pretty good in the time I was actually hearing them.
Final Review: Would be five stars but the fact that Near Side is god awful and the game includes Neco Arc made me lower the score just a bit.
I think I've had enough with Type Moon for a while so I'm gonna go back to playing some nice PC-98 VNs.

When Mobile Games were actually good.
Anyways this is game is just fucking retarded as hell. There was almost no point in the game where I fully understood what was going on and 100 endings? Seriously? I can’t wait to spend 20 hours going through them all (of course I will be using Cheat Engine’s speed hacks and my game timer will be fucked up but at least I don’t have to waste my time)!
“Yeah! That’s it! Hell yeah, Tsuki! Oh Christ that’s good! Fuck yeah, I’m really feeling it now! Here I go! I’m about to bust my nut!”

Xenogears is pretty cool. But it’s very flawed. The music is amazing but there’s not much quantity. The game is extremely long (the longest single JRPG I’ve played so far). My play through clocked in at around 53 hours. The story is pretty sweet. The English dub is ok. Bart’s voice sounded deeper than I expected. The anime cutscenes are pretty cool. Disc 2 was cool in my opinion. I like visual novels and it was a nice change to just wrap the story up quickly. Overall, amazing. 10/10.

A beautifully epic game with addictive and engaging gameplay. The difficulty is high and satisfying. Story is great for a 1995 Super Famicom game. And the branching story adds to factor of replayability. This game is up there with the all time greats of 16-Bit Strategy Games with Fire Emblem 4. I highly recommend it.
