Fei looks like he belonged in Street Fighter, but turned down the part to star in this role. He is a destined hero now living in a small village of Lahan. You are treated to an opening movie, but you learn much more about what's going on by talking to everyone. A quick glance at the story goes along the lines of the following: A long time ago of course a ship crashed into their planet and in the past 50 years or so two countries have been fighting with the technology that was unearthed since excavating.
The technology was giant mechanical warriors called Gears. These Gears were, of course, driven by both oppositions in the countries. Somehow our hero Fei ties into all of this. Well, since there are three modes of gameplay I will have to break each one of them down for you. When the game finally begins after a sequence of reading text, you start out in your typical third person walk-anywhere mode.
In this mode you can walk, run, start dialogue, and rest. You also have the chance to buy and sell in that mode. This will be the most used mode of the game and the most useful for doing most of your tasks. When you travel from city to city you will have to search around and familiarize yourself with the city. Knowing what shops are where and where you can find info is essential to the completion of a level.
I also found that different outcomes could arise if you answer differently to asked questions. A word of advice: When you are playing, answer in a simple-minded way to ensure a good journey. The next form of gameplay includes the fight scenes. This was not something you could just do when you felt it necessary, but instead when the story felt it so.
For instance, I was merely walking to a scientist's house and shazam, I was being attacked by a couple of plants. In other words if I wanted to fight a bartender that was my friend, I was unable to. The good thing about the fight scenes were the chances to increase your health points, which brings me to my next topic. Even though you can access your health and items menu anytime during the game by pressing the square button, you would use a fighting menu when engaged in combat.
In this menu you have Chi special powers , Attack, Items for magic and health renewal , combos, and Escape which I refer to as "Run, Forrest, run Each time you battle, you have a chance to attack an opponent, but be selective in your moves because some spells or combos are rendered useless in battle. If you choose to attack, you have several combo hits to try. If you h it them in the right succession you can really slam your opponent with some high point hits.
I still haven't figured out what the combo option does other than display the combos you have learned. The escape option can be useful if your energy is low, but sometimes the opponent will not let you escape. Also, you are able to use other characters in your fight stage if they are traveling with you at that time. When you are in a Gear, the fight stages are pretty much the same, with a few other options. The third and final form of gameplay was the world map.
In this mode you have the option to travel in a global sense from city to city. During the game there are several Cinema movies that range in length from 20 seconds to about 2 minutes. What is funny is that sometimes the dialogue will play out and then the cinema version will do the same thing you just read. One of the complaints about this game was the fact that I had a hard time finding shops that sold Gear weapons.
Of course I could have the fastest and strongest Gear, but when I fought, my weapons were my big iron fists, Chi, and combos I had learned. The game is very smooth in transition and becomes addictive and time-consuming. You get wrapped up in the storyline and you want to be in your Gear a lot more than the story lets you. Fei makes a great character to become, but has that Racer X appeal to him from the famed Speed Racer cartoon.
One key function in this game is to read carefully and never leave any stone unturned. Once you pick up on the fighting stages you will start to learn moves that increase your experience points. One thing to keep in mind is to try different button combinations for new moves. Sometimes you will stumble upon what is called a deathblow move sounds scary, huh?
These, as mentioned earlier, are accumulated by different button combinations; however, you must have a what are referred to as action points not so scary. Action points are accumulated by stopping midway through a combo routine.
When you have enough stored, you will be able to open a can of whoop-ass that you have been saving. Squaresoft could have done a better job on their fight scenes by maybe doing some 3D panning around the scene, or zooming in closer for some real nice shots, or better yet just giving me a percentage of what they make annually. In closing, the game is really not my type of game to rant and rave about.
I know that it is along the lines of Final Fantasy fame, but cannot comment on the comparison. This game is geared ha ha more for the RPG player, and I can say that it could have possibly converted me into one with a little more action.
I mean you have your basic layouts with a little cinema action, with a hero and a storyline. I am a fan of Japanimation, and for that I must say I liked the graphics. As far as the gaming graphics go, they could have been a little more realistic, and as aforementioned done more with the fight scenes. All in all the graphics had a fluid-like texture, and the game only experienced slowdowns when the actual characters were engaged in combos. Another company has dealt another game into the Christmas pool, hoping to be a prospect on a Christmas wish-list.
But before considering Xenogears , see if you are one of those who love role playing games before you buy. If you are, I'm sure you will enjoy the game as much as I did reviewing it. Unfortunately, the FF-meets- Ultraman recipe has a long way to go.
In Xenogears, you're Fei Fong Wong, an amnesiac with a mysterious past who wields powers he's unaware of: for instance, a mastery of Gears--giant humanoid war vehicles. When Fei's power surfaces, accidentally destroying the village that adopted him, he's spiraled into an epic 50 hour-plus story line that reveals his secret heritage, skirts toward a sinister, antagonist, and dances around religious references The boring, confusing, and slug-paced story line is Xenogears' fatal flaw.
With no central quest or goal, you're often left to wander around aimlessly. Even when the story is advancing, you'll be confused and will need the events explained later.
And that's no gift, because the dialogue is horribly stiff, sometimes taking seven lines to convey what could've and should've been said in just one. Xenogears offers separate, but ridiculously similar, fighting interfaces for hand-to-hand or Gear-based combat. The controls are a complete waste of what could have been a fantastic hybrid of RPG and giant robot-sim genres. Instead, they offer an attack number that can be used in a series of weak, medium, and strong assaults or conserved to unleash special maneuvers.
It's all too familiarand disappointing, considering the potential. With both game-engine interludes and brief anime cut scenes, Xenogears tries in vain to keep the pace moving. The anime is a welcome addition, but they're often too short and reserved serving as contusing dream sequences to pump your adrenaline. The game-based characters thankfully aren't super-deformed, but they built of awkward , sprites in an otherwise polygonal, rotatable environment, making the personages look goofy.
Xenogears' sound is as dubious as its graphics with decent, but as its graphics with decent, but almost cliched, special effects and annoying Irish-inspired music. A relentlessly slow plot, plodding dialogue, and the unfortunate fumble of the robot interface's potential keeps Xenogears out of that stratosphere enjoyed by its far superior cousin, Final Fantasy VII.
Travel through a world of martial arts and mechs in Square's latest RPG, Xenogears, featuring fast-paced battles, meaty dialogue, and degrees of real-time rendered, texture-mapped polygonal backgrounds. The game's story starts on the Colony ship Noah, which is taken over by a strange force.
In the aftermath, a lone survivor, strangely untouched, awakens on a new world amongst the wreckage. Flash forward thousands of years to Wei Feifong, a young villager suffering from amnesia and endowed with high skills in the martial arts. Wei becomes a pilot of one of the 'Gears: large, ancient mechs with mysterious powers. While two countries do battle, Wei begins an exciting journey with his friends to find his missing past and his destiny in an ancient war.
Exploration is an integral part of the story, and the tight controls ensure it won't be a frustrating experience. The fast-paced battles are light on menus and easy to understand, with three-button combinations used for attacks. The background music is on par with other Square titles and is used to great effect to set the atmosphere in towns and dungeons.
Xenogears promises hours of intense gameplay, an engrossing story line, and a myriad of details and features. Watch for it this November. Xeno's characters are sprite-based, with the exception of the polygonal 'Gears and their enemies.
