I have decent PC but I don't know the first thing about emulation.
I know a while ago I saw some youtube videos that had modernized the aspect ratio or improved AA, faster text speeds, etc.
I'd be especially interested to know if theres anything that tweaks the encounter rate as that is pretty bad. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great! Oct 25, 2, NYC. If you have a PS Classic, you can hack it and play Xenogears on it. Click to expand ZeroDS The Fallen. Oct 29, 2, Played it last year on vita and I had a pretty awesome time there.

I don't, but suppose that is an option. Would there be any benefit to it over playing the actual PS1 disc on my fat PS3, other than physical space taken up being much smaller? ZeroDS said:. Oct 28, 29, With this Xenogears Fast text version 1. Beetle PSX core on Retroarch. DiipuSurotu Member. Oct 25, 36, France. Isn't there a bug with emulation where it freezes during the final boss or something?
Truly Gargantuan Still doesn't have a tag :' Avenger. Oct 25, 5, I don't know how XG emulates, but unless your PC is 15 years old you shouldn't have a problem emulating it. DrHercouet Member. This was not something you could just do when you felt it necessary, but instead when the story felt it so.
For instance, I was merely walking to a scientist's house and shazam, I was being attacked by a couple of plants. In other words if I wanted to fight a bartender that was my friend, I was unable to. The good thing about the fight scenes were the chances to increase your health points, which brings me to my next topic. Even though you can access your health and items menu anytime during the game by pressing the square button, you would use a fighting menu when engaged in combat.
In this menu you have Chi special powers , Attack, Items for magic and health renewal , combos, and Escape which I refer to as "Run, Forrest, run Each time you battle, you have a chance to attack an opponent, but be selective in your moves because some spells or combos are rendered useless in battle. If you choose to attack, you have several combo hits to try. If you h it them in the right succession you can really slam your opponent with some high point hits.
I still haven't figured out what the combo option does other than display the combos you have learned. The escape option can be useful if your energy is low, but sometimes the opponent will not let you escape. Also, you are able to use other characters in your fight stage if they are traveling with you at that time. When you are in a Gear, the fight stages are pretty much the same, with a few other options. The third and final form of gameplay was the world map. In this mode you have the option to travel in a global sense from city to city.
During the game there are several Cinema movies that range in length from 20 seconds to about 2 minutes. What is funny is that sometimes the dialogue will play out and then the cinema version will do the same thing you just read. One of the complaints about this game was the fact that I had a hard time finding shops that sold Gear weapons. Of course I could have the fastest and strongest Gear, but when I fought, my weapons were my big iron fists, Chi, and combos I had learned.
The game is very smooth in transition and becomes addictive and time-consuming. You get wrapped up in the storyline and you want to be in your Gear a lot more than the story lets you.
Fei makes a great character to become, but has that Racer X appeal to him from the famed Speed Racer cartoon. One key function in this game is to read carefully and never leave any stone unturned.
Once you pick up on the fighting stages you will start to learn moves that increase your experience points. One thing to keep in mind is to try different button combinations for new moves. Sometimes you will stumble upon what is called a deathblow move sounds scary, huh?
These, as mentioned earlier, are accumulated by different button combinations; however, you must have a what are referred to as action points not so scary. Action points are accumulated by stopping midway through a combo routine.
When you have enough stored, you will be able to open a can of whoop-ass that you have been saving. Squaresoft could have done a better job on their fight scenes by maybe doing some 3D panning around the scene, or zooming in closer for some real nice shots, or better yet just giving me a percentage of what they make annually.
In closing, the game is really not my type of game to rant and rave about. I know that it is along the lines of Final Fantasy fame, but cannot comment on the comparison.
This game is geared ha ha more for the RPG player, and I can say that it could have possibly converted me into one with a little more action.
I mean you have your basic layouts with a little cinema action, with a hero and a storyline. I am a fan of Japanimation, and for that I must say I liked the graphics. As far as the gaming graphics go, they could have been a little more realistic, and as aforementioned done more with the fight scenes. All in all the graphics had a fluid-like texture, and the game only experienced slowdowns when the actual characters were engaged in combos.
Another company has dealt another game into the Christmas pool, hoping to be a prospect on a Christmas wish-list. But before considering Xenogears , see if you are one of those who love role playing games before you buy.
If you are, I'm sure you will enjoy the game as much as I did reviewing it. Unfortunately, the FF-meets- Ultraman recipe has a long way to go. In Xenogears, you're Fei Fong Wong, an amnesiac with a mysterious past who wields powers he's unaware of: for instance, a mastery of Gears--giant humanoid war vehicles.
When Fei's power surfaces, accidentally destroying the village that adopted him, he's spiraled into an epic 50 hour-plus story line that reveals his secret heritage, skirts toward a sinister, antagonist, and dances around religious references The boring, confusing, and slug-paced story line is Xenogears' fatal flaw.
With no central quest or goal, you're often left to wander around aimlessly. Even when the story is advancing, you'll be confused and will need the events explained later.
And that's no gift, because the dialogue is horribly stiff, sometimes taking seven lines to convey what could've and should've been said in just one. Xenogears offers separate, but ridiculously similar, fighting interfaces for hand-to-hand or Gear-based combat. The controls are a complete waste of what could have been a fantastic hybrid of RPG and giant robot-sim genres.
Instead, they offer an attack number that can be used in a series of weak, medium, and strong assaults or conserved to unleash special maneuvers. It's all too familiarand disappointing, considering the potential. With both game-engine interludes and brief anime cut scenes, Xenogears tries in vain to keep the pace moving.
The anime is a welcome addition, but they're often too short and reserved serving as contusing dream sequences to pump your adrenaline. The game-based characters thankfully aren't super-deformed, but they built of awkward , sprites in an otherwise polygonal, rotatable environment, making the personages look goofy. Xenogears' sound is as dubious as its graphics with decent, but as its graphics with decent, but almost cliched, special effects and annoying Irish-inspired music.
A relentlessly slow plot, plodding dialogue, and the unfortunate fumble of the robot interface's potential keeps Xenogears out of that stratosphere enjoyed by its far superior cousin, Final Fantasy VII. Travel through a world of martial arts and mechs in Square's latest RPG, Xenogears, featuring fast-paced battles, meaty dialogue, and degrees of real-time rendered, texture-mapped polygonal backgrounds. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
