GameFAQs Contests
Semi's Xenosaga 3 playthrough topic of immense suffering and horror. *spoilers*

Long, long ago... after as few as two and as many as slightly more than
two asked me for a list of my favorite video game characters, as
everyone else on the board had posted such a list (and said lists were
often the subject of my derision, mockery, and hatred). I shrugged and
said that it'd have it up within a few weeks. That was somewhere between two and three years ago. Since then, only one person has seen an bare-bones version of that list, and partystar complained that it had too many old men on it. But now I am finally ready to begin work the list! This is but one obstacle in my way: Xenosada Episode 3: Also Sprach Zarathustra I have not heard good things about this game (except from stingers, but when does he ever count?), and I refuse to have my list contaminated by XS characters whom I liked in the first two games, only to free-fall into levels of fail and suck previously through to have been impossible. My task is clear: I must endure this "game" in order to properly be able to weed the now-horrible characters from the ones that are still pretty all right. This topic shall serve as a log of my suffering, and as a chronicle of the final moments of my life should any cutscenes or plot twists prove fatally idiotic. Actual playing of the game doesn't start until after I find food or something, so... do whatever in the meantime. It's not like anyone is actually going to read this topic, anyway. --- WARMTH AND COMPASSION HAVE NO PLACE IN MY WORLD! - some emo god from Grandia 3 |

I have not heard good things about this game ...wtf? It's the best game in the trilogy & stands as one of my favourite games of all time. Boy, you better be prepared for some real "suffering"... and by suffering I mean excellent gameplay, graphics, and a highly satisfying conclusion to an intricate storyline. --- I'll see you in Hell!

I thought it was the second one that was supposed to suck? --- As an amber sky drips a tear upon a sunset the river holds the color you describe as love. |

The second one merely random counters that take too damn long. Everything else about it is pretty solid. And I won't be fooled by the lies of you devils, saying things like "i thought the game was actually good" or "i'd read the topic."

I haven't gone near this game, nor do I intend to after some of the things I've heard about the plot. Nevertheless, *hypes choke scene* --- We're not foolish because we're tools. It's because we're men. - Albedo |

Also, try as I might, I can't think of any Xenosaga characters that
might be on your list except for Cherenkov (who probably wouldn't be
affected by XS3 anyway). ...Well, there's Allen, but Allen is awesome because he fails. --- We're not foolish because we're tools. It's because we're men. - Albedo |

Day 1 I checked out the in-game XS1 summary. No mention of Cherenkov! He completely escapes the stigma of XS3, mwa ha ha ha! Then I actually started the game. After sitting through two cutscenes, and seeing a third one starting, I decided this could wait until tomorrow and turned it off. --- WARMTH AND COMPASSION HAVE NO PLACE IN MY WORLD! - some emo god from Grandia 3 |

From what I've heard, it sounds like Final Fantasy IX mated with Chrono Cross and thus Xenosaga 3 was born. And that's not good. --- DNEA |
