No real spoilers. Pretty cool and insightful for someone who's only played a bit of Xenogears (disc 1) and some of Xenosaga 1.
Xenoblade Chronicles always looked interesting to me but I didn't have a Wii. The later entries in the series from the looks of it lean heavy into the Shonen look with weeb fanservice.
Yeah you can tell the team behind Gears was pretty heavily influenced by Evangelion.
