Game modes:Single player
Story:Xenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears.
The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts.
Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.Show more

i am absolutely not normal about this series as it has been a very intense special interest of mine ever since i picked up the first game in middle school. i can't even think of a single moment because there were so many that made this game unforgettable. it would truly mean so much to me and many other long time (and short time) fans of this series if this ever gets brought to PC.
This was one of the first 3D JRPGs I played and the story, music, voice acting and combat kept me hook for 12 hours straight. This is also the first game that I played for so long in one sitting. Sadly I got stuck and never beat. So I would love for the chance to do so.
This game plays incredibly similarly to Xenogears for PS1 and feels like the next gen successor to it, with the same type of story and 1 of the characters at least is from Xenogears as well. This game and all the others in this series was super fun. Drew me in to be a 100% completionist it was so fun. Large RPG that made me go nuts waiting for the others in the series to be released. Would love to see it here on GOG, I believe these games were for the PS2 if not mistaken.
I rented this on PS2. Then I rented it again. And then I had to go buy it. It's one of my all time favorite PS2 games (not so much the subsequent games unfortunately). It has well directed cutscenes which is something a lot of more modern JRPGs don't even try to do anymore (and even Xenosaga didn't continue with).
I have little hope here, but hey. You never know.
one of best's rpgs, secrets, details, and a amazing group of charaters whith yours self historys, whith crazing plot(very)twist, an art in rpg history of games.
