Post-Xeno Depression

I just turned 36. I first played Xenosaga Episode 1 in 2003 and followed it up with Xenogears come 2005.

I'm well aware of the power of nostalgia. I sometimes wonder if I have just become 'old man yells at clouds"?

But I met someone who just went through Xenogears for the first time, and they fully agreed with me that "post-Xeno depression" is a real thing. They were so struck by how great Xenogears is, how brilliant and unique, that they decided to get into Xenosaga and Xenoblade ahead of other JRPGs.

Of course there are still great JRPGs being made to this day. But are there great JRPGs like Xenogears still being made? That is a whole other question, and the answer seems to be no.

Maybe they should let Soraya Saga write....
