I'm not criticizing the game, just the strange episodic format that Monolith/Namco choose, and its general viability (IMO, it won't finish).
One million with medium sized advertising it had... I think that's some nice profit unless it was one of the most expensive games ever made (read Shenmue), which I don't think it was.Alright, so 1 million units world wide - is this successful for an RPG of this scope you think?

Almasy said:Xenosaga is not an episodic game exactly. Episode II will be the last you see of KOSMOS, Jr and Shion. The next game will be set several thousand years ofter those events (Xenogears was Episode 5 and IMO if Monolith (in Square back then) didn´t a big fat "Episode V" thing at the end, we wouldn´t have found out), and the rest of the games will be similar to it.
