It's happened. We've come to value the meaningful and the meaningless information relinquished by Xenogears' localization. We're also justifying Margie as a manager, wondering why machines are gendered, watching the Ripper digest and disappear party members, identifying Ether Doubler acquisition methods, uncovering some ulterior motives at Etone H.Q., questioning Hammer's retention, referring to our biological father as "that man," expanding our nationalistic beef awareness, discovering mystery circles with Henry Mingus, pocketing used toilet paper, and refusing to touch a large turd. We wish happiness to all people of the world, even the house of sinning hermits.
