History Awesome / Xenogears

* The mission to destroy the second Gate generator that powers Solaris's cloak involves Billy firing Fort Jasper's massive cannon at the giant mirror on the Tower of Babel (with Citan inside configuring the angle) to reflect the shot to beneath the Ethos HQ while the rest of the team fights the Elements. The awesomeness of completing the mission isn't negated at all by the fact that Billy misses the first shot.

* "Dropping a warship on me is cheating. ''[[CatchAndReturn Take it back.]]''"

* "[[spoiler:Dropping a warship on me]] is cheating. ''[[CatchAndReturn Take it back.]]''"
* Which two characters get a BigDamnHeroes moment, a HeroicBSOD, Two [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments of Awesome]], a TearJerker moment, with SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic playing in the background, in a span of 5 minutes? [[spoiler: Maria and Chu-Chu, that's who.]] And it call comes together to reach the peak of its awesomeness with just one word:
-->[[spoiler:'''Maria:''' "Siebzhen!"]]

* [[spoiler:Fei going ''into space'' to rescue Elly.]]

*** This gets topped by how you get into the final dungeon, Merkava. It has its own, even more powerful WaveMotionGun that can wipe out anything approaching it. While the Yggdrasil IV and Shevat's flagship Excalibur each have DeflectorShields, they could each only survive for a few seconds under Merkava's gun. So Bart comes up with a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome totally awesome]] plan to handle it: have Yggdrasil IV ''stand on top of Excalibur'', with their shields combined to maximize how long they'll last, and to get extra speed Yggdrasil IV ''carries a pair of old Xeboim [=ICBMs=] under its arms''. Once the the [=ICMBs=] burn out, Yggdrasil IV drops them, jumps forward, and ''pulls off Excalibur's bow spike to use as a giant sword'', stabbing it into Merkava's main gun and demolishing it. Then Excalibur [[spoiler:blows up Yggdrasil IV, after Yggdrasil III ejects,]] to destroy the cannon beyond repair. All of this while Bart's gear pilots Yggdrasil III via a gear-sized nautical steering wheel, [[RuleOfCool just because]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzJOD-0S0q0 It has to be seen to be believed.]]

* For fans of combining mecha, I give you the final battle against the Elements.

** Just to give you a better idea of how insanely awesome this mecha is: it wields the Yggdrasil III, ''your party's GlobalAirship and base of operations'', as a WaveMotionGun.

* The first battle you get into on the second disc? The truly awesome [[spoiler:Super Dimensional Gear Yggdrasil IV, made up of the central block of the Kislev Capital]] versus a mobile weapon easily the size of a planet-killing asteroid.
