But they are not called 'Gears' (or Weltall). Then again, the E.S. are supposedly more advanced than 'Gears' since XenoSaga represents 'lost technology' in the 'Xenogear' world in 'some' way... - Tak |

Its ok, this thread already went off topic the moment someone goes: "My Kira is bigger than your Shinn!" (not that I am 'not' part of the fault here, but I am just sayin...) - Tak |

cool, I'm just saddened (from what I remember) that Xenosaga 3 is gonna be the last of the Xeno series (tear) though there's supposed to/should be 1 or 2 more episodes/games (think Xenogears was Episode 5 or 6...I forget since I beat it a long time ago)

Now now, to be fair, Shinn showed much creativity during the first dozen or so episodes of GSD. The way he infiltrate that Federation base deep within the mountins was ingenious, depsite the (all too annoying) angst.
I had hoped the development team would spend more time actually focusing on his character, despite fan-barrage. Even with Kira eventually replacing him as the main character (which I did not mind), there were still room for Shinn's development! They simply failed to explore it. Sad. Though I have to say, when I first lay my eyes on Shinn while watching GSD's promo, I knew, immediately that he won't stay 'main' for too long. Turns out I was right... Despite this, I initially believed Kira could be some sort of a mentor or idol Shinn can look up to, but it turned out foul. - Tak Last edited by Tak; 2006-07-19 at 13:47. |

true, then everything started going "bleah" after like...episode 18 (I think) when Kira pops up then all the fanboys/girls started going ga-ga. I didn't mind Kira taking over the mc spot...but I was still annoyed that Shin just got turned to crap afterwards. I should of counted how many times they showed that really pissed off face of Shinn's everytime he was gonna finish something off...swear they used it a lot...which also reminded me of when Rey was fighting Kira...one point where they did a half screen I think and Rey opened his mouth when he was charging SF and it was drawn like...really wide.
I really wished Stella didn't talk like she was a cave woman just learning the japanese or for dubbed purproses...english language Silent Soldier - when in doubt, blame Bush, that will always bring a smile |

Haha, when I saw episode 5 or 6, where Kira and Lacus were standing by the beach, and she said "a storm is coming", I was like: "Oh shi..."
Then, they really nailed it with episode (??) when Shinn met Kira at the memorial (how he does not recognize Lacus I don't know...). At that point, it became OBVIOUS that they were to become rivals. "I don't understand why not just have Kira and Shinn as rivals???" Urm, they 'were' rivlas until the end of Destiny. Cmon, you can only be rivals for so long, and its not like Kira/Shin had such a huge grudge they can only resolve it through fighting. - Tak |

I wonder if he likes his sister more than Lunamaria (who, *not* coincidently is voiced by the same Maya Sakamoto). Leave the dead to rest man... leave 'em be. Maybe Shinn likes Luna because she sounds like his sister. Otherwise, I still have no idea how those two hooked up. - Tak |

He was just being a good and thoughtful onii chan. Obviously Shinn likes Lunamaria because she is also a cute girl with antenna and miniskirt. |

Ironically, Luna happened to act as a spy, I guess that antenna had its uses. "In the CE it seems like all main characters must be in a relationship at all times no matter what." Except at this point, I still have a big ? mark over Shinn & Luna's relationship. - Tak |

Dude you are so myopic...Once again if I say one thing about Kira that's my whole argument to you ...Anyone with half a brain understands Kira's character was flawed in this series...I don't need to hang his head on my wall with bears and lions for you to see it...You think Kira was the only thing that ruined GSD for me?? C'mon... Quote:
