A year ago, I played this game in the coming weeks before the release of Xenoblade 3. I enjoyed my time with the game and the series, but I didn't really get to fully digest it since I was in a rush to also play Xenogears before XC3 at the time. I initially left the game at an 8/10 score due to this. After replaying it without any rush to beat it as quickly as possible, I can say I owe this game an apology. Xenosaga 3 is, if anything, an achievement. It's common knowledge that Xenosaga as a series was unfortunately cut short and had to end early at 3, but the fact that the devs and writers were able to salvage that and still deliver a satisfying and hopeful conclusion to the story is downright impressive. It's by no means a "perfect" game due to its circumstances, but the good so severely outweighs the bad that I think it has earned the new rating of 10/10.
