(1/2) honestly feeling very put off from playing xenogears.
all this “no one understands it on a first playthrough” / needs multiple playthroughs to understand / needing to read up on stuff afterwards to further grasp it has me thinking about skipping it.

Thank you so much again for the advice and clarification on this, i really appreciate it :)
this breaks my heart cause i love the xeno series, but people make it seem like you need an insanely high IQ to understand xenogears.
I wouldn’t let it put you off, I just hear that it takes QUITE a while to get going from what I know 😅
but people make gears sound like you’ll finish the game and not understand a single thing that you just experienced, that you’ll need to
Pretty sure you’d get through it perfectly fine just by playing - the other stuff is for hardcore theory 😅😅😅
The story surrounding this game development is very interesting, but one can absolutely enjoy a simple playthrough
I became so interested, I bought books about the game, but some friends just watched one or a couple videos, read some articles and felt great this way too!
It comes down to personal enjoyment!
Needing multiple playthroughs or reading up about stuff is not accurate. It can be a complex game but not impossible to understand.
