If i could say anything about this game it would be this: The game is like a book, boring at the start, very long and very deep. This game is a real story game, and a good one at that.
STORY
The basic thought of the plot involves the main character, Fei, who seems to suffer from amnesia. Unwittingly, he is caught in the crossfire between two warring cities, Aveh and Kislev. He climbs into an unmanned Gear and proceeds to destroy not only the enemy forces but the entire town he was living in, too! Banned by the surviving citizens, Fei begins a journey to find out more about his past. On the way, he becomes hopelessly entangled in the power struggle between Aveh, Kislev, and numerous other factions, not to mention various political and religious organizations.
GRAPHICS
Character graphics look much better than in the reigning RPG champ, Final Fantasy 7. They're still midgets, but at least they look a lot more realistic without those blocky bodies and bulging forearms. The lower level spell graphics look decent but the more powerful ones look great (though nothing close to the "Summon" spells in FF7). 
SOUND
Ahhh, finally i can hear some god damn voices!!!!Now, they may only be in the anime cut scenes, and there done really poorly, but the voices are there. But the music in this game gets really repeatitive.
While Xenogears may not have the depth or sheer magnitude of items/materia in FF7, it's still pretty respectable. As I mentioned at the top of the review, its strong point is its fabulous storyline. Both the gameplay and story take a while to get going, but once it starts building up some momentum, you'll find it hard to put down the controller.
