[Xenogears] A character I didn’t think much of at the time of play and didn’t care about their performance, but I was surprised to learn later that they became a topic of discussion.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

I thought back then that there were many throwing attribute techniques that were difficult to use.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

The past event was disastrous!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Only strong when fighting the protagonist.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>3

Looking back now, it turns out that Faye’s mental state at that time was just the worst.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>5

That’s one thing, but…

It should be because it had a status that couldn’t be physically defeated.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s too late to laugh because I’ll be teaming up with the teacher at the sewer stage when I redo it.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was difficult to use back then, so I usually removed it unless it was mandatory to join.

I think I mostly used it to defeat the enemies around the final boss.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt sorry for the initial Kanyu members for having fewer super special moves.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I was wondering why this person doesn’t have a power-up event.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

In terms of setting, it’s strong.

As a playable character, it’s garbage.

I wonder if the people at Square back then had any thoughts while making it.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>9

I think I was so stressed out by the deadline that I couldn’t even focus on adjustments.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>15

Some people are misunderstanding, but this is the way it is treated regardless of the deadline.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>9

Even though I’m strong, it’s just because I flopped around in a weak spot…

There are no other events that show overwhelming strength.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Usually, you use the strong green and the cute green, right?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well… I thought it was slow back then, so I didn’t use it.

In the first place, it’s a 3-person party, so there’s no room to include a hobby role.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

More delicately treated by the original staff than the players! That is King.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even characters that aren’t stylish, like Barret from FF7 around the same time, weren’t subjected to harassment based on their performance.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

The latter half feels weak because of the cut from the event.

This is not just about the thread image.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I don’t look at any strategy information at all and generally just push through with brute force.

Even so, isn’t it too weak to be thrown in the sewer and die instantly? I shook with disbelief.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In the first place, there are plenty of beautiful men and women, so there’s no way they would use someone like this.

The mecha design is strange.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a fatal injury just having low speed, but throwing techniques are…

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Despite being a slow power-type character, their firepower is not very high.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There should have really been more important events! But that’s just a delusion of some players…

First of all, Riko is a subhuman and a major sinner.

Even if he is the son of the dictator, there is no way he can appear at the negotiating table.

In Yggdrasill 4, it’s fine to just proceed with Bart there normally.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hummer has a more significant role in the story.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

The difference in character performance is already insane because the teacher is way ahead of everyone else…

From the beginning, they had obviously inflated stats and their behavior was suspicious, so I thought they might betray us…? And they actually did betray us, but then came back immediately and got even stronger.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

The HP at the time of joining was only about half of the image.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s strange that it’s simply weak no matter when you use it.

Usually, even if weak, one should have a special talent.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

It sounds really harsh, but isn’t there at least one good point?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

The event where I jump at Balt over the missile issue is the only interesting part.

That transition really has no opportunity to be used.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>31

That probably resonates with Billy too…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>43

But Billy is strong, right?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

The gear looks cool.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Shooter has a unique flavor, but Elshooter…

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

I feel like they had high HP and attack power, but the turns don’t come around, attacks miss, and the special throw technique doesn’t hit large characters. On top of that, for some reason, the speed-type Shitan-sensei also has high HP…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

There is a gear power-up event.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

This guy’s underling gives out super rare items.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

I guess we have to defeat it before it self-destructs.

I remember feeling “wow!” when information came out shortly after I defeated it, maybe in V Jump!

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I cooperated with Fey and the others.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Slow! Many mistakes when attacking! The power is not low, but also not high!

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s the same green as Emerald… why is that?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even at the time of joining, the difference between me and the teacher is already striking.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it really okay for you to be a burden even at the point of participating in the sewer system?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are interactions with the president’s son and Hummer, but they aren’t utilized that much.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you don’t have enough time, don’t get hung up on the intricate specifications like not being able to toss the big guy.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve never seen a super finishing move on my own.

In other words, even the skill points for Fei’s part are a hassle? It’s impressive that there are people who go all the way to become a earning king.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

The characteristics of the gear’s performance really outshine Zepusen.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Billy uses it with an Ether Double.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Billy is excellent even without the ether double.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

Billy’s gun kata is cool enough to use.

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>47

Pulling a gun out from my sleeve, a shotgun, and taking a rifle out from my back are super cool.

It would be great if Chibi used something other than a handgun too.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s unfortunate in terms of the story too, isn’t it?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

It’s clearly stating that the event has been cut…

Even though Ziggy from Saga has been cut, that one was supplemented through a different medium.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Billy might not compare to the weak green because he has an avenging event for Bullet Dad and his mother prepared for him.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a conscientious design that allows you to become a gear baller at the only mandatory event, so there’s no need to update any gear equipment at all.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

In terms of the combat system, being slow is fatal.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Too strong green

Strong and cute green.

The green in the thread image.

It’s too harsh.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the full name Ricardo Banderas is cool.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t it Ricardo Martinez?

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>56

You’re strong over there, so it’s a different person.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seriously, when it comes to combat power, there’s almost no reason to use it; it’s really unfortunate.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like it’s settled that Fei and the teacher are a done deal, and there’s only one spot left, making it unnecessary to use Rico.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>58

Indeed, the last spot was Jesse Cannon…

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shooting is nice, isn’t it…?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, it wouldn’t matter since we wouldn’t normally enter as a three-person party anyway.

It feels like not using it isn’t even a topic for discussion.

This character not being used is something that often happens in most games.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kataganondorf

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kimary from Xenogears

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

That’s quite rude to Kimari.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>66

That’s quite rude to Kimari.

The level of pleasure is on a different scale.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

Kimari will be highlighted in the second half because of her connection to her hometown, so I’ll let it pass.

However, the green governor’s office event will not be permitted.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s quite rare to have a situation where the protagonist gets beaten up in a loss event but then the character becomes a teammate with disappointing abilities.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like the design of running with a rocket on my back and roller skates.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

After Xenogears was released, it became a time when many idiots mistakenly thought that making fun of things with the emergence of PCs and the internet was cool.

The teasing of Riko is just one part of it, and the fact that it’s still happening is a real sign of a genuine idiot who has become an uncontrollable monster in his old age.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>71

The director says that Riko is the main sub-character…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shootia has a cool, rugged look like a junky arena battle robot.

Eleshutia has lost its concept because it was turned into a fantasy robot while keeping only its silhouette intact…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

It’s difficult to maintain the original concept with the barahira transformation…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kimari can be enhanced as much as other characters as long as there is love.

There are roles even in limited play…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if they could have made the event with Hummer more exciting towards the end.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

In the final stage, there’s no time to add events.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

Some specific parameters are just too important…

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s a game that is somehow put together by trimming down the latter half.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not that the story is particularly unfortunate or anything.

Compared to those who have lived for several generations or those who understand the structure of the world.

A person who only lived in one region will inevitably have a weaker presence.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not particularly stiff.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

HP and defense should have been numerically high…

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

The defense power is undeniably high.

Regarding HP, the growth rate is high, but the original value is below average.

By the way, Shitan-sensei has the third highest defense and the initial HP value is ridiculously high like a bug.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Even if it’s said that there’s no time to spare for this when they even cut the event where Ellie and Emerada infiltrate the Mass Driver base, it’s true.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that Maria is a character who doesn’t need to learn a special move is lowering King’s evaluation.

I thought so, but if I keep spamming the seal removal L1, can I at least fight?

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s terrible to feel absolute weakness at the time of joining.

All players will understand your weaknesses.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Having Zeputzen in the heavyweight gear slot is also painful.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Please understand the coolness of the attacking lariat.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Regardless of the teasing, being weak is still being weak…

The setting should be quite delicious, yet there seems to be nothing particularly interesting regarding the deep dive into the dictator’s background, so the latter half of the work really feels empty…

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I realized that there are people who are unaffected by special move throws even during times when they weren’t active online, and it seems that they fade into the background. Even if I later know that they are treated as internet memes, I won’t really wonder why.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

Billy, ether is also convenient, isn’t it?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was also no good that there were strong green colors like Sensei and Emeralda.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I were to say something about the lack of connection to the atmosphere or world setting in the second half…

Rekobilimaria probably hasn’t changed much.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

The latter two are unrelated to the core part, but they will have another highlight scene, just in case.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

Compared to others, the involvement of those related to the Fatima dynasty is too pronounced.

It’s simply because I’ve been here since the beginning.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

During the game, the sewers barely featured the character from the image, making them too weak…

I was thinking that.

But after the sewer, I hardly used it or only used it for gear battles, so I didn’t think about it much.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

The person is muscular, but for some reason, the robot is bulky and not cool at all.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

The uniquely designed shootia may actually be an advantage for some people…

The preference also varies there due to the barrah transformation.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has nothing to do with the king, but are Billy’s siblings safe after terraforming?

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well, putting aside the treatment in the story and all that, it’s really tough that there isn’t a single good aspect in terms of combat.

Even if it’s a given that the adjustments are foolish due to the existence of the severely favored green.

I’m lost at the concept stage.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maria will get change through flight.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Compared to Kimahri from the same Square Enix three-character RPG.

The difference in character power is so significant that it can’t even be compared, especially since they can be given roles.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe there were some fighting game fans among the staff who thought throwing characters were crap.

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Maria is quite prominent because she is super strong in the gear battle at the end of Disc 1.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

In the end, it’s just a game, so the difference between being used and using is pretty significant.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

If I understand the specifications of the machine manipulation, I might be able to use it in person as well…

The king, you see…

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I used Riko for the first time in a while when fighting Hummer, and I learned a new ether technique called Steel Fighting Spirit.

I remember being shocked when I used it thinking, “Oh, really?” and it dealt 1 damage to a weak enemy.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only learned about Chuchu’s strength much later.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it’s not unusual for games from this era to not take balance adjustments that seriously.
