I normally try to avoid talking badly about games...but this is a rare case. Xenosaga II is an exercise in creative frustration. In trying to create something that felt different from Episode I, they made nearly every facet of the game worse. Different look, different feel, different battle system, different main character, different voice actors; all of this is just a misfire.
