The best way I can describe Xenosaga II is... It's like someone spending hours baking you a beautiful loaf of bread - measuring, kneading, proving, baking - and then garnishing it with dead flies because it "needed" a novel twist. Oh and the loaf weighs 400kg, b/c more is more.
Xenosaga II: You know what's amazing? These ES suits. They can do basically anything we need them to whenever we want, including things the game/its characters have established are impossible for them to do.
Xenosaga II: When you use an ES suit it's just a big metal person.
I've got to say this extended dive sequence in Xenosaga II isn't really telling me anything the game(s) hadn't already told me before, and this intense focus on Jr & bros when we're here to help Momo is... it doesn't feel right
