I agree fully, about Xenosaga anyway. It truly was inferior... First of all, there's that whole "chapter" thing, which would be fine if they didn't make the games 10 hours long in gameplay. Then there's the somewhat disappointing story. The battle system? Well, I've recently had the chance to play a little of the second one, and they actually fixed some major problems. Namely, the Gears are back, that is, they are now both full size and actually useful in battle.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
