''Xenogears'' was released by [[Square Enix]] in 1998 for the original Playstation. [[Love It or Hate It|Considered either a flawed masterpiece (by fans) or a steaming pile of shit (by non-fans)]], it is nonetheless a cult classic. It is particularly remembered for a uniquely convoluted plot spanning ten thousand years, themes cooked out of Gnosticism, Jewish mysticism and Jungian psychology, and an atmosphere that was remarkably [[Anime]]-like for its time, leading to the game's infamous hour-long cutscenes.
''Xenogears'' is the story of Fei Fong Wong, a sensitive painter (and spectacular martial artist) with a [[Easy Amnesia|past he's conveniently forgotten]], who [[Genre Blindness|believes himself a normal person]] and wants merely to [[Refusal of the Call|live out his life in the backwater town of Lahan]], up until the moment it gets [[Doomed Hometown|razed down into the ground]] by a [[Humongous Mecha|mechanical fighting machine called a Gear]]. With his [[Because Destiny Says So|fate bound]] to this rather unique Gear, and searched after by the Gebler, the military force of the [[Floating Continent|celestial empire of Solaris]], our reluctant hero has to flee, aided by the town doctor, [[The Obi-Wan|Citan Uzuki]], who is nothing but more than he seems.
