Rorenado
Easily the best game of the series. While the story had to wrap up suddenly, due to Xenosaga 2's lack of success, they did a good job working to close up as many loose ends as possible. Everything was way more refined in this game, and it was incredibly fun to play. Some story beats do get missed however, and are relegated to text in the database.
Honestly, it was going to be hard to top Awakening, but they kinda tried too hard here. Breaking the story into 3 separate games was a bad move, and it kinda abused the good will that was built up with Awakening. Good characters and use of the Japanese setting, but really didn't go anywhere story-wise.
