 Let's Talk Old School!!!

Yes people we are talking about XENOGEARS!!!!!!

   Xenogears is a science-fiction role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) for Sony's PlayStation. It was released on February 11, 1998 in Japan later on that same year on October 20, 1998 it was released in North America. It was re-released by Squaresoft under a  Greatest Hits title in 2003, and on the PlayStation Network on June 25, 2008 for Japan users and on February 22, 2011 it was released in North America.

   Ever since 1998 everyone was expecting a New Xenogears fallowing the plot of the original; sadly enough this would not come to happen as his creator Tetsuya Takahashi left Squaresoft later on the same year it was released 1998 along with Hirohide Sugiura, another key person Xenogears creation process. Using funds from Namco, they started MonolithSoft along with the Xenosaga project.

    

   Two years later in March 2000 Sony released the Playstation 2 console. The PS2 was to rapidly become  the best selling console selling over 155 million units, later that year MonolithSoft was to release Xenosaga Episode 1.   The Xenosaga series serves as a spiritual successor to the game Xenogears. Episode 2 would come on in 2004 and Episode 3 in 2006. Later on MonolithSoft in collaboration with Nintendo came together to create Xenoblade Chronicles released on 2010; however it did not get to North America until 2012.There's big hype about a new Xenoblade coming out soon, but we have to wait until 2015.

BUT WE ARE TALKING OLD SCHOOL XENOGEARS HERE!!!!!!

If you don't know Xenogears here is some of the storyline behind it!

Xenogears centers around its protagonist, Fei Fong Wong, a young man in the village of Lahan. Fei was brought there by a mysterious "masked man" three years ago while gravely wounded, he was then adopted by the village chief, Chief Lee. The events that lead to Fei's grave injuries before his arrival at the village, have caused him to have retrograde amnesia.

 The story is really long, but not long enough to put you to sleep. The Battle system is not as simple as just pressing one button, as you progress and level up, you get more combos. Can you master each character? 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                This Is Fei Fong Wong (Heck of a Name) Fei is the main Character of the story. He's a very skilled Martial Arts Fighter, Fei can't remember much about his past. But trust me when I say he sure knows how to Fight. 

    Weltall is Fei's Gear, The Black Gear has many secrets. One of them is a series of Black Boxes that can be found inside of him. No one Knows what are they for. But you will find out later in the Story!

   He........ He is simply Called ID. OMG he is Awesome. I will NOT tell you who or why but he is one of the Many things that will keep you wanting to go further and further into the Story.

Weltall-Id

This guy here is Citan Uzuki, Dr Uzuki is one of Fei's companions. He is kind of a Pandoras Box full of secrets. On foot, Citan is one of the best fighters in the game, first displaying a blindingly swift hand to hand combat style and, upon regaining his sword, a sword style similar to that of Iaido. Citan's gear is Heimdal. 

The Sand Pirate Bart. Bartholomew Fatima nicknamed Bart, is leader of a group of sand pirates who ravage the desert in their sand cruiser, the Yggdrasil. He uses Whips to atack his pray. He Pilots Brigandier.

These are three of the Nine playable characters. All of them with their own set of Combos and Abilities. To me, this is my top team! 

Xenogears is a great game for that first generation of gamers born in in the 80's. If not, it is definitely a must play! You can have it rally cheap if you have a PSVita System. Just go to PSN and buy it.
