Should I play the original Xenogears, or try a patch?

Just wondering because I've seen multiple hacks, and I know some people here have way more experience than me.

I haven't played them personally, but OG was the only game a playthrough crew I was following couldn't finish.

Take that as you will.

From what i saw, those mods doesn't change game much. Alternative text font, no battle flashes, undub. These don't modify how the game is played. I'd say it's a matter of your own preferences.

The only patch I've played them with are the undub ones & it was still the greatest experience ever.
Didn't need much else beyond that, you're gonna be in for a real treat!
