Xenogears (ゼノギアス Zenogiasu?) is a science-fiction role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) for Sony's PlayStation. It was released on February 11, 1998 in Japan and on October 20, 1998 in North America. The game was never released in PAL territories. It was re-released by Squaresoft as a Greatest Hits title in 2003, and on the PlayStation Network on June 25, 2008 in Japan and on February 22, 2011 in North America. Xenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears.
Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed 'gears,' which almost each playable character can control. Overall, Xenogears was well received by critics, with a 91% rating on Game Rankings and a score of 83 out of 100 at Metacritic.
It was voted the 16th best video game of all time by readers of Famitsu in 2006. Xenogears has shipped 1.19 million copies worldwide as of March 31, 2003. How awesome it is to stumble upon this subreddit devoted to the most amazing and life-changing game I ever played. I've been talking up Xenogears and it's importance in my younger life to my girlfriend, and she's really interested in it (or at least indulging me, hehe). So, in the unlikely event I want to play through the game WITH her, I'm curious what the best emulator might be (Windows 7).
I have a PS1-style logitech controller as well. Also, any cool graphics mods you might recommend? I remember back in the Bleem days that the 3D backgrounds in the game actually look really great on a PC.
I guess I'm also wondering if it's worth loading a hacked save game too, to eliminate any grinding so I/we could just focus on the story. What say you, fine enthusiasts?!
I had trouble emulating xenogears when I tried a couple years back. I wanted to play it on my PSP, and I ripped the game from the disks myself. Found that it slowed to in an unplayable craw whenever I got into a battle at a certain point in the Stalactite cave around old man Bal's house.

Wondering if it was a bad rip or the PSP's fault, I tested the same rip on epsxe (I think) on my PC. Exact same problem, exact same place. Then I downloaded another rip from TPB or some such, and had the exact same problem. Kind of ruined my grand plans to play through it a third time.
