The story is great, and the gameplay has enough hooks to keep me interested.  Now mind you its pretty linear and there are a lot of cinematics; some very long.   But I feel they are placed well; I am eager to see the next one, and just when I am ready to have control again they give it to me.  Plus the designers were smart enough to allow you to pause and skip the cinematics.I could go on with more info, but most is covered elsewhere on the web in reviews, but I will say my wife mentioned she has not seen me this hooked on a game for a long time.Now on to EQOA.  I played this game in beta and only a short time since release, and its ok.  To be honest even with all the good design changes they have over PCEQ (better death model, less downtime), I just could not be hooked after playing PCEQ for so long.  And with all the great stuff they have added to PCEQ in the last two expansions (in game map, plane of knowledge portals, and more) its hard to play EQOA and not feel like I was missing something.So my recomendation is: If you want to get back into the EQ experience, start back on the PC with all the new expansions.  But if you want to play a great single player story driven (though linear) RPG then pick up Xenosaga.  Of course if you do not finish by the end of your week off, you may be in trouble <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
