Have you ever wanted to understand the billions of references Xenogears makes to religion, philosophy, anime, and whatever else was on Tetsuya Takahashi's mind that day? Well, lucky you, I'm just insane enough to attempt to catalogue them all!

That's right - this is part one of an ongoing series that will attempt to catalogue and explain every reference found in Xenogears. This first part will cover from the opening cutscene to when Fei fights the Rankar in Blackmoon Forest.
