Xenosaga III was my favorite of the series. I love this series to death. Better then Gears/Blade imo.

Agreed, and yes, Xenosaga II is definitely the weakest in the trilogy. More like something you have to get through to make it to 3, but honestly, it's well worth it. The combat system in 3 is more like something you would expect to see out of a mid generation Final Fantasy game (ability based, rather than combo based), but they do some very interesting things with the AP and Boost systems. The action cutscenes are by far the best in the trilogy, and while Momo's voice acting is still atrocious, everyone else has really stellar VAs in the third game.

Xenosaga III is definately worth looking into, just have to make it through II. That being said, if you don't do any of the sidequests in II, it only takes like 10 hours (it's not actually that long of a game).
