Did fixed disc 2

An Ether Doubler always fixed everything for her in base game 😉

oh lol I could have used this if I played just a little later, oh well! I'll give it a go next playthrough

I would have given Rico a flat-damage buff that scales off his Strength or HP. This, in turn, would give him a type of Def ignoring passive. Regardless, you guys are definitely on track in fixing his weakness in battle.

200hrs +. You are wrong, Rico is actually good. Paired with Chu Chu and Fei is OP. What are you on?

The buggest question in the whole shebang... *did they fix the busted magic system? Do Thor Wave and Big Bang no longer suck? Do broken ethers work now?

I was always completely captivated by her visual design and beautiful color scheme. I wish more of the series were like Gears than Saga.

Minor correction I wish I caught sooner. Kid Em is getting slight buffs to her caps, while Adult Em is the one getting light nerfs. Those caps were ridiculous, outpacing EVERYONE in their specialities. I get that this endgame reward shouldnt really be dialed back, but she doesn't need to be able to solo the game's last two dungeons at such a relatively low level.

Emeralda is pretty much Elly and Rico pre-buff on speed shoes with much better accuracy and evade.

Emeralda is a better Elly.

I love Gear concept of Emeralda.

Love Emeralda, Double Ether, and pumping Joe's Ether upgrades into her, is just lol for the final dungeons. Would love to see there be more variation in on ground, and in gear battles near the end of the game the balancing feels like they completely forgot that the characters could get out of the gears. Great to see the process play out.

For Esmeralda, I usually end up equipping Double Ether and only using Ether powers, just like Elly. If she gets faster, it might allow for spamming Ether attacks one after another, which could break the combat balance. Will there be any balancing regarding Ether? Since the damage it deals is very powerful, even stronger than Combo Levels when using gears. Here are some thoughts I have: Here’s a note for studying and analyzing the balance of Ether, as it’s easy to spam this power, and recovering EP with items is also very simple and not expensive. Just like Combo Levels, I understand that spells are divided into three categories. So I’d like to suggest comparing the damage between Ether and physical attacks. For example: Level 1 = Strike + Combo 1 = X Damage. 2 turns Level 2 = Strike + Strike + Combo 1 = Y Damage. 3 turns Level 3 = Strike + Strike + Strike + Combo 1 = Z Damage. 4 turns I believe the damage dealt by Ether should be lower than the sum of physical damage (in relation to its use in GEARS). Consider the number of turns it takes to deal Level 3 damage in Gear combat, which would be 4 turns, while Ether attacks only take 1 turn. P.S. In cases of elemental weaknesses, the damage would be increased or decreased.

This game needs a remake and a proper disc 2! I never cared for emeralda. I remember playing a demo disc with this game on it back before launch. Loved it then, love it now. They keep putting out pricey action figures and model builds you can paint. This gives me hope they'll eventually revisit the game, too. Otherwise, they'd just let it die.

Where can we play it? With the patch

Congratulations on the analysis! I'll be waiting to hear about the other characters, but not just about them. I think it's important to balance the bosses as well, and if you address that in the videos, it will generate more content too. It would be great to make the boss fights more challenging since it's usually enough to gear up well and you pass easy on the bosses. Obs. An ability that would be interesting for him is taunt, as it could increase the chances of the enemy focusing on him.

omg your dead pan voice, and your thoughts are so handsome im weak

If you aren't using Fei, Emeralda, and Citan what are you even actually doing?

I love you

Hi there, i am concerned about something, after playing with perfect works so far, i see the translation of the kingdom of "Aveh" got shortened to "Av" Is this intentional? Thanks!

I understand why they don’t, but I still wish they could remake this game!! 🙏🏻

Woah!!! I just discovered this! Is it an Omen??!

HEllo, I love the work you are doing this. I would want to donate a few bucks for your work, where can I do that? Also I have a no flash mod when you strike an enemie in battle can you help out how to make it work with your mods?

First playthrough, I assumed Rico was the slow tank and the game was pretty hard. 😅

Only thing I remember about this game is that I spent more time reading than playing.

Que mal no este español si no probaria de una

As someone who's played the game as physical disc & a digital copy (1st PSN game I ever bought), I am VERY excited about this project. I'm really looking forward to all the things you bring to enhance this amazing game.

please allow old xenogears gameshark can be used on this game too. thanks

we need a remaster from Square-Enix

Honestly, it is crazy that the answer to the common question of "disc 2?" is not "No, beyond scope" but rather "We physically cannot, but would be 'yes' if we could". That shows some major dedication behind the project.

Nicely done.

Huh? My father? You mean my dad?!

Wait what!? Since when has modding xenogears been a thing? I'm in 🎉

Any texture pack or way to make look less blocky?

Letsss goooooooo

Finally, at least someone understands with me about rico

actually a very interesting video. i've played the game a lot but i've always ignored many different facets of the game. i don't know it you'd get that much traffic, but i'd really be interested in more Xenogears breakdowns about different aspects of the game regardless of whether its being changed in the perfect works build

GOOD strategy!

These were some really good explanations, and you really throught this through. Ziggy is also a great example, as they didn't get him "right" until Xenosaga III, and once he came into his own he was incredible. I had to tackle Cyan in my hack Final Fantasy VI: Divergent Paths. The main thing was fixing how Sword Techs worked by making them a game of "catch the bar" rather than "wait it out". I made the Retort flag persist beyond 1 turn, so that Cyan could set it once, and be guaranteed a double damage counter-attack. I also fixed the stat calculations on the Gauntlet relic, and added a flag that restricted certain weapons, including the katanas, from being used with the Genji Glove. All of this was to gently nudge the player to give Cyan a Gauntlet and use Retort to set up massive damage counter-attacks, while being able to do full-party attacks in between.

As much as I agree than Rico badly needs these buffs, it is weird hearing you complain about Fei having more HP than him while ignoring that Fei's also 8 levels higher.

Man if this is true then you made this old man happy that’s my childhood 😂

A step in the right direction. Now comes the real challenge, finding an elite modder that can romhack and add the missing content on disc 2.

Rico finally real I love Blanca

How do you plan on handling disc 2? But it certainly looks promising
