LEANDER DIDNT REACH FOR YOUR THROAT TO BE AN ASSHOLE! HIS WHOLE GOAL IN THE BEGINNING IS TO. GAIN. YOUR. TRUST.
WHAT PART OF REACHING FOR YOUR THROAT GAINS YOUR TRUST???
IT MAKES YOU DOUBT HIS POWER, HENCE WHY HE PLAYED IT OFF BY SAYING "LMAO JK JK" YOU FOOLS FELL FOR IT AND ATE IT UP BELIEVING HE WAS JUST BEIN A LIL JESTER. A LITTLE BITCH. A LITTLE ASSHOLE.
THATS WHAT HE WANTED YOU TO THINK BC FOR A MOMENT THE CURSE DID AFFECT HIM A BIT.
"BUT EGGY, HE DOESNT DO IT IF YOU WILLINGLY TOUCH HIM?!!?! HE WAS JUST SO OFFENDED YOU DIDNT TRUST HIM!!" DO YOU KNOW HOW CURSES CAN WORK? CATCH MC OFF GUARD AND THEIR CURSE FLARES UP TO BE STRONGER. THE CURSE'S STRENGTH PROBABLY DEPENDS ON HOW FREAKED OUT MC IS.
MC IS CALMER AND TRUSTING AND EXPECTANT WHEN THEY WILLINGLY TOUCH LEANDER. SO THE CURSE DOESNT FLARE UP.
THE CALMER MC IS THE LESS THE CURSE FLARES UP AND THE EASIER IT IS TO COUNTER WITH LEANDERS OWN MAGIC.
LEANDER GAINING YOUR TRUST COMES BEFORE ANY SORT OF RETALIATION. HE MAY BE A MAN CHILD OF A DOG, BUT HE IS DEDICATED. HE WILL CALMLY CHASE YOU UNTIL YOU'RE TOO TIRED TO KEEP RUNNING. YOU THINK HE GOT ALL THAT POWER BY BEING AN ASS TO PEOPLE WHO DONT IMMEDIATELY TRUST HIM?! HE WILL PLAY THE LONG GAME IF HE HAS TO. HE GIVES YOU THE WHOLE FACADE OF "you can come and go as you please, but i can be home for you :)"
HE HAS DUPED YOU ALL AND I WILL GIGGLE AT ALL OF YOU WHEN THE FULL GAME COMES OUT.

I definitely think you should revisit the idea of jailbreaking your wii. It's incredibly easy to do, virtually impossible to cause damage if you follow a guide, and will leave your wii with all its existing functionality. Before I bought a new computer earlier this year, the Wii was my main emulation machine for everything from GBA to GameCube to actual Wii games. As long as you have an SD card and an SD card reader, you can get games running on the hardware with no notable differences to using legit methods, without having to pay extortionist rates for classic games. Additionally, all the cool wii ware and discontinued stuff is made accessible again via homebrew things so really, you'd only be improving your wii with no downsides whatsoever
yknow, i think i might look into doing so at some point, especially since at the very least there are some playstation 2 games that are also on gamecube... although idk my how much they differ in content but yeah! it'd also allow me to play animal crossing city folk again.... and twilight princess......
thank you for telling me!!!

It just now occured to me that I never posted about beating Xenosaga 1
It was a lot of fun. I love how it evolved the mechanics introduced in Xenogears to make something more fleshed out and tightly designed. The AP system and new Deathblows in particular are what I quite like. Now they all have different properties in terms of how they hit, whether they're close or far, if they're AoE, if they're elemental, etc., and ending a combo early to gain AP is actually useful. Xenogears's Deathblows all felt like slight variants of one another and I rarely had any reason to mix it up until late game when you get elemental Deathblows. I also think the AWGS being more versatile and usable than the Gears is a nice touch, even though I seldom took advantage of it (didn't even use em for the final bosses). The different cycling cards on each turn was also a nice touch, but it often made me feel like I should always wait until the point multiplier before going for the kill. (My fault for all the time I wasted doing that, I know.)
I think the story is good, but I feel like it goes a little overboard in introducing tons and tons of different concepts to you in a way that isn't digestible enough. All the other Xeno games I've played did a better job of splitting information into digestible chunks. I think this is ultimately a product of Xenosaga 1 and 2 being written as one game and then split in half, but in any case, the database is an extremely appreciated feature as I could easily refresh myself on any details I had trouble remembering without having to Google shit and risk getting spoiled.
Overall, I think the game is better than Xenogears, but Xenogears's story blows this one outta the water. Though that game had the benefit of being a single standalone experience which, while leaving tons of room for expansion, was still neatly tied up at the end. Xenosaga is seemingly designed from the ground up to be a multipart story so I probably shouldn't be too harsh on it until I've played all three. I just hope that Namco didn't inhibit Takahashi's extravagantly ambitious vision too much like Square did before.
