I recently rewatched all three Xenosaga 'movies' and I gotta say...This trilogy was brilliant. It had its flaws and it probably would've served better a visual only medium, but I truly think that the story was transcendental. It holds up well, even after ten years. The best space opera to be put on a screen, narratively speaking, in my opinion. It deserved the five part installment it was originally designed to be. Xenosaga worked well with what it had, but it deserved so so much better. Thanks for posting this.
I wish more games were like this. Ones that touch your souls and pull at your heart. I really wish the game ended a bit happier and instead of a painful cliff-hanger but I understand they did it that way because there was suppose to be more installments, which I wished they were able to make. This will be a series I will forever remember from my childhood and with tears in my eyes and hope in my heart, I hope for some kind of continuation of this series as it never truly dies. It has remained dormant in me for many years but after watching the first and third episode movies you made here on this channel (Thank you deivistik2) it rekindled my love I have for this game. Kos-mos, I hope you are found, repaired and happy. I hope that shion and the others complete their mission. I hope that jin found peace. I hope that chaos, mary and nephilim are well. As I hope to see them all again one day. It might be an impossible dream but I will hope that I live to see it one day :)
Thank you VERY much for this. This must have taken forever to upload.^^ The Xenosaga Trilogie was always my favorite RPG on the PS2. Not even FFX can conquer the Epicness of this Game. It deserves more Love and public Attention. Even today. :)
+JadeCurtiss34 if they called Xenosaga Final Fantasy 11 I think it would have much more critical acclaim. it's a brilliant game that sadly was relegated to being niche :(
Man, hearing that “Good night.” from KOS-MOS really hit me. After going from never being able to hear her say “Good morning.” again, to hear her saying that was too much...
I wish they continued the series, especially with KOS-MOS gain of popularity from Project X Zone and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Hell, her and T-elos being in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was how I became curious of Xenosaga. I was expecting KOS-MOS to have more screen time, but what we get of her is incredible. She has such an intimidating presence, like Samus Aran.
I bet the the ending made a lot of people, including me, sad. I've seen the series twice now, and I still got tears from Jin's death to KOS-MOS heading to Lost Jerusalem.
Thanks for making this movie dei. It brings back a lot of good feelings and emotions. Games like this and the stories that make them are so rare. I'm glad i got a chance to see it once more.
So moving... Just watched all the cut scenes from episode 1-3 I've come to understand more about the story. Very enlightening and great story indeed. I hope they'd do a sequel.. or perhaps pursue the HD collection remake. There's room for a continuation esp. Shion's trip to Lost Jerusalem...
That KOS-MOS waking up scene always gets me right in the feelz... God I gotta finish this game some day. I wonder if my save file is still any good... I wonder if my PS2 is still any good... Hm :-\
this one has to be the one that made me fall in love with seires even more than i already was but it also has to be the sadest no matter how many times i have seen it the end will still make me cry R.I.P Jin Uzaki :(
A million thankyou's. Xenosaga II was the only one released here and it came with a 'movie' for the first game. I never bought it though and lucky I didn't because I would've been upset from the lack of a 3rd entry.
Okay, after reviewing the characters of this series again, I have come to this conclusion; KosMos-> Awesome, Jin-> Respectable and Responsible, Ziggy-> Controlled and badass, Chaos-> Calm and Jesus(sorta), Jr.-> Cool and fun, Momo-> Intelligent and cute, Allen-> Lovable goof,..... Shion-> Cunt.
Thanks you so much for these 3 videos. I can say it has changed my life, a little. I really get the giggles though when Shion said "Chaos who are you ?" at the very end of the game. Don't follow people you don't know girls. Then you see what it does. ;)
What KOS-MOS absorbed from T-elos was the Animus power Mary had, as it is tied to the material her body is composed of. KOS-MOS had Mary's consciousness, T-elos only had a mock personality (an A.I.). She wanted to kill KOS-MOS so she would absorb Mary's consciousness or soul
Actually i don't have more time for playing video games, i became a bored adult with another necessities but i have a very special place in my hearth and mind for the only game that make me cry several times. Xenosaga (Series) Episode III . I hope that Mr. Tetsuya Takahashi read this, i don't want grow old and be conscious of a only part of his great history, I be waiting for more; an Episode IV,animation or a book, i don't know. I Just be waiting for more. Thanks for Xeno.
Jin: Jeez, Shion, you're acting like you have some terminal disease or something. Shion: ...YES! Jin: Wha-... you do? Shion: YES, it's the U-DO thing Mom had that's killing my consciousness as we speak! Jr.: Oh... see, we thought you were just depressed over the Gnosis thing. Shion: It's what CAUSED the Gnosis thing! It was the ENTIRE POINT of what they did on Miltia! What the [EFF] have you been paying attention to this whole time!? Kevin: And they wonder why she isn't fond of them right now?
I like Shion. Her actions--and reactions, are fairly realistic. All the anti-Shion haters, I wonder how they'd react to these events: Seeing your mother and father get killed--twice, having cryptric conversations with a little girl who at times only you can see, randomly passing out and having very realistic lucid dreams, and possibly talking o what we call god, finding out your former BF has been messing with your life and pulling strings of most events like a puppeteer, having your friends + brother want to stop you when you want to save your mother from getting killed in "the past," having your friends stop you from going with your former BF especially considering you havent had sex in 3-4 years and are still gaga over said BF, finding out you are the cause for the looming eldritch abomination monsters, etc. To me, she acted rather well, considering everything.
There is a book called perfect works, that was made with background info to Xenogears. Xenosaga was officially supposed to be a prequel like those new Star Wars movies. While XS 2 and 3 didn't follow a common universe continuum anymore, with perfect works you can still get a very general idea if what the story was supposed to be. It's not much, but it helped me get some closure. :) xgam.org/xenogears/resources/perfect_works/
The 3 at that time weren't officially published under Square and remained as a blue print for the Xeno series. ie. Mary Magdalene would remain as Mary Magdalene towards the end of the intended final arc of Xenosaga and simply can't evolve as Miang Hawwa.
Wow, when Kos-Mos is hit and she falls and the glass and i se her expression, i feel sorry for her, she can't and never will be a human, she'll never feel pain, she'll just keep going until she's broken apart and there's no chance of her getting back, it makes me feel like war is an endless disease, once its gone a new one comes, Shit, i sound witty.
I'm glad Allen finally got through to Shion ... sorry couldn't get to liking Kevin but their plot was really good. Also, hate that Jin died :( And that scene with Febronia dying was so sad too
Didnt anyone Talking about Fei/Abel actually play the game. Fei is a Contact, and by being so is one of the numerous reincarnations of Abel. Also Elly is Also a being who has been reincarnated with Fei/Abel in multiple lives. When people say they brought closure to the story in XS3 they obviously never played Xenogears. Xenogears is not even the Conclusion but only the Fifth installment. Xenosaga was supposed to be 6 episodes, including the remake of Gears as the 5 episode. Sad really that they couldn't keep their shit together long enough at Namco to deliver.
Nate Fisher whats episode 4? xenoblade? lol xenoblade has no significance in xenosaga or gears. the creators said blade, saga, and gears are spiritually related with the same style but completely different story lines. its like saying peacemaker(shinsengumi anime) is directly related rurourni kenshin. spiritually maybe, directly definitely not
i enjoyed this film i was little confused but i did enjoyed i did watch 1 and 2 years ago that was amzing but i cried at the end because xmos died did enjoyed it
Hey you probably wont see this but what build and plugins did you use for pcsx2, I cant get a good set going without slowdown/glitches. THanks for posting these btw , never come across a game with a story so vast. n_n
No they're not related. They just used the same themes. The only relevance between these characters Abel & Nephilim (Xenosaga) and Fei and Elly (Xenogears) would be their roles on procreating life. That's it. Both story lines are completely different.
Oh boy, a lot of crying on this one. I had a bit of trouble figuring out what all of these terms, names, factions and locations were at first but I read up on them and eventually understood it. I think maybe that hurt the game's popularity and sales at the time. Reminds me a bit of how convoluted FF13's story seemed. Miltia, Second Miltia, Fifth Jerusalem, Michtam, Ariadne, Durandal, Dammerung, U-TIC, Immigrant Fleet, Ormus, Vector, Federation, Kukai foundation, Scientia, U-DO, URTV, 100-Series Realian, AGWS, Testaments, UMN. Lots of stuff you need to understand before playing these games in my opinion otherwise you get lost and zone out. That said, if "U-DO" understand what all of these things are it's a very enjoyable story. This game is made for adults more than children I think. I hope after Xenoblade they come back to Xenosaga again. Remake them and/or make new ones continuing forward with Shion and Rubedo etc.
Always thought it was such a shame that the funding for this game got cut and half the cutscenes had to get reduced to talking bubble formats. Never understood why either, I personally liked Xenosaga 2 more than the first game. XS3's presentation could've been so much more epic if not for the previous game's reception. Still, it's literally the only flaw in an otherwise fantastic game and story!
There should be a kickstarter for Xenosaga fangames. One of them could be called Yuriev: Prisoner of War. I don't know what it would be like, but sounds fun to me. Seriously though (I was serious, but I still am), it's rather past time we received an admirably-budgeted Pied Piper (and I don't mean the real Pied Piper) stage play, at the very least! Think of all the awards it would, or should, win. I mean just imagine, being able to actually see Ziggy's past IN REAL LIFE.
I'd often heard that this was the case. It was an almost-prequel to Xenogears that couldn't be an actual prequel bc they (the creator of XG) didn't have the rights to the original story anymore.
but Abel is physical form of u-do, is he really fei's reencarnation? Did Xenosaga developers said it somewhere? Does xenogears takes place sometime before xenosaga or it just a speculation?
***** Supposedly, Xenogears was supposed to be 'Xenosaga Episode 5', until business related BS forced the 2 game series to be separate instead of same storyline.
fan speculation wants to put xenogears(episode 5 which is shown after the credits of xenogears) with xenosaga. but well square has the rights to xenogears and bandai namco has the rights to xenosaga. nintendo has rights to xenoblade. so the most they will ever be is spiritually related to eachother with similar character models and story.
Xenoblade sometimes feels like it had a really condensed version of the gears/saga story. I think the direction Xenosaga took made it hard to fully appreciate the story they were trying to tell. It was extremely complex, convoluted, and pretentious to the point you needed an in game encyclopedia to understand the world. Still a great game and I am very happy to continue watching Monolith learn and succeed where Square-enix has utterly failed an entire generation of RPG players.
Your previous comment states Miang fits the bill completely implies that Kos Mos' evolution in the future falls into Miang Hawwa. Ideally reincarnation of Saga characters into the future will only fall into the same aesthetics as Gears a similar key role but a different plot/motive.
I'm aware of the Perfect Works and how the whole Xenogears universe was crafted into 5 episodes kid. The reason why the names are different is due to licensing as Gears is owned by Square, And since the Gears team moved to monolith and had Namco help rebrand the game, they can't use the same name nor continue gears for that matter. Hence why Saga was formed as a NEW Xeno series with new characters that's licensed under Namco. The only "reboot" to this is the theme in which is more recycled!
The serious was good the only problem is that after playing the first and then the second its a lot of stuff that was cut out and changed from how it was suppose to be and that killed the true story of it all since it was suppose to be six games
now i've seen xenoblade chronicles, xenoblade chronicles x and xenosaga i have yet to watch xenogears but here is my conclusion of the next xeno game that should hopefully come out i think it could basically be a combination of every single game as all the games i've seen end with either 'we still have unfinished business' or 'we should explore this world' so maybe all the differant charactors will do some stuff in their respective parts until they all find each other and team up to do something like how in xenosaga we see that ziggy and momo join up with shion and everyone else at some point in the game. one big reason for me thinking this is because the xeno universe is seen from completely different angles surrounding earth and mira because we have people from earth going to mira in xenoblade chronicles x, people (probably) already living on mira in xenoblade chronicles and people who don't have a set location and live in basically the whole universe in xenosaga. this means that all the differant perspectives on the universe surrounding earth and mira are gone which leads me to believe that there will be one more game that blends evry game from the series together. also technically the is one more perspective on the universe and that is from people who live on one random planet out in space but if everything i've said is true then xenogears will take place on a random unknown planet but i need to go watch that game and see if i'm right
theletsplaycurse Have you watched Xenogears yet? I recommend playing through that one. I still have the game I got as a birthday gift from my friends in Japan. So I don't understand Japanese yet, I got the U.S. version. But your perspective could bring the main characters into another xeno game. It would be a tall order though. Hmm... My retroactive ps3 needs maintenance. Once I get it running again, xenogears will be first. Sadly, I've never played xenoblade, or any other xenogames. But it's cool to know there are others who have deep appreciation for these stories.
20 hours of cutscenes between the 3 games. That's more than a season of hour-long TV episodes. Epic.
I recently rewatched all three Xenosaga 'movies' and I gotta say...This trilogy was brilliant. It had its flaws and it probably would've served better a visual only medium, but I truly think that the story was transcendental. It holds up well, even after ten years.

Xenosaga worked well with what it had, but it deserved so so much better. Thanks for posting this.
agree =]
They don't make them like they used to...sniff
You can see how they tried to save time and money through the trilogy.
Five? No son, this game was planned to have 6 episodes.
I enjoyed playing it has a video game. However, I do wish it got the 6 parts it was supposed to. It really could have been more.
I wish more games were like this. Ones that touch your souls and pull at your heart. I really wish the game ended a bit happier and instead of a painful cliff-hanger but I understand they did it that way because there was suppose to be more installments, which I wished they were able to make.
This will be a series I will forever remember from my childhood and with tears in my eyes and hope in my heart, I hope for some kind of continuation of this series as it never truly dies.

Kos-mos, I hope you are found, repaired and happy. I hope that shion and the others complete their mission. I hope that jin found peace. I hope that chaos, mary and nephilim are well. As I hope to see them all again one day. It might be an impossible dream but I will hope that I live to see it one day :)
I gotta admit, Xenosaga was a great game to play with. The story for all the episodes are impressive. This makes me want to play the game.
This is probably one of my favorite games of all time! Such a wonderful cast of memorable characters, storyline and music!
Thank you VERY much for this. This must have taken forever to upload.^^ The Xenosaga Trilogie was always my favorite RPG on the PS2. Not even FFX can conquer the Epicness of this Game.
It deserves more Love and public Attention. Even today. :)
+JadeCurtiss34 if they called Xenosaga Final Fantasy 11 I think it would have much more critical acclaim. it's a brilliant game that sadly was relegated to being niche :(
This sleepless night became a bit better. Thanks for the upload.

She has such an intimidating presence, like Samus Aran.
Bawling my eyes out at the ending. I really wish there were more episodes and a continuation of this wonderful game and story.
I bet the the ending made a lot of people, including me, sad. I've seen the series twice now, and I still got tears from Jin's death to KOS-MOS heading to Lost Jerusalem.
Happy Birthday Xenosaga III
US release August 29th 2006
My childhood man :D, can't believe I actually finished it years ago :3, thanks for this, I really appreciated it a lot
Thanks for making this movie dei. It brings back a lot of good feelings and emotions. Games like this and the stories that make them are so rare. I'm glad i got a chance to see it once more.
So moving... Just watched all the cut scenes from episode 1-3 I've come to understand more about the story. Very enlightening and great story indeed. I hope they'd do a sequel.. or perhaps pursue the HD collection remake. There's room for a continuation esp. Shion's trip to Lost Jerusalem...
+Reynald Tolentino since Xenoblade has been issued twice, I doubt they'll continue Xenosaga. Which is a shame because the story is content heavy.
Clothing, hair... entire facial structure. Though Shion and KOS-MOS look good in this, much much better than in 2.
This is a completely awesome to review the series I love, props for doing this in HD as well
I let a friend borrow this game and I never got it back.
Holy shit, thank you SO MUCH for this upload. I really played it for the story anyway.
2:38:04
"Gunshots!
Over there!
Let's go!"
...Gets me every time.
When Virgil said he couldn't save Feb, he reminded me of wha Shuyin said in FFX2...
Falling in love with this game all over again. X3
I actually love Shion's Episode III design. :3 Amazing game, just finished it today actually.
That KOS-MOS waking up scene always gets me right in the feelz... God I gotta finish this game some day. I wonder if my save file is still any good... I wonder if my PS2 is still any good... Hm :-\
this one has to be the one that made me fall in love with seires even more than i already was but it also has to be the sadest no matter how many times i have seen it the end will still make me cry R.I.P Jin Uzaki :(
Alright Allen needs a fashion update, i mean everyone changed their clothing or hair except him.
Lol have we ever seen him in anything other than the vector uniform?
A million thankyou's. Xenosaga II was the only one released here and it came with a 'movie' for the first game. I never bought it though and lucky I didn't because I would've been upset from the lack of a 3rd entry.
Okay, after reviewing the characters of this series again, I have come to this conclusion; KosMos-> Awesome, Jin-> Respectable and Responsible, Ziggy-> Controlled and badass, Chaos-> Calm and Jesus(sorta), Jr.-> Cool and fun, Momo-> Intelligent and cute, Allen-> Lovable goof,..... Shion-> Cunt.
Thanks you so much for these 3 videos. I can say it has changed my life, a little.
I really get the giggles though when Shion said "Chaos who are you ?" at the very end of the game. Don't follow people you don't know girls. Then you see what it does. ;)
Epic story. A too complicated game where the rules keep changing. But it helps satisfy our desire to reach for the ultimate goal.
What KOS-MOS absorbed from T-elos was the Animus power Mary had, as it is tied to the material her body is composed of. KOS-MOS had Mary's consciousness, T-elos only had a mock personality (an A.I.). She wanted to kill KOS-MOS so she would absorb Mary's consciousness or soul
Next to Legend of dragoon this was the best rpg yes i would love a number 4 for ps4
play xenogears, legend of legaia, star ocean the second story, parasite eve
ok hopefully they are good
all classics from the same time! check psn. there like 5 dollars!
Actually i don't have more time for playing video games, i became a bored adult with another necessities but i have a very special place in my hearth and mind for the only game that make me cry several times. Xenosaga (Series) Episode III .
I hope that Mr. Tetsuya Takahashi read this, i don't want grow old and be conscious of a only part of his great history, I be waiting for more; an Episode IV,animation or a book, i don't know. I Just be waiting for more. Thanks for Xeno.
Thank you!
Whoa... the Red Testiment is the voice actor of Sasuke.. lol
Wew! This is great i'm tying to watch this all,thanks
Jin: Jeez, Shion, you're acting like you have some terminal disease or something.
Shion: ...YES!
Jin: Wha-... you do?
Shion: YES, it's the U-DO thing Mom had that's killing my consciousness as we speak!
Jr.: Oh... see, we thought you were just depressed over the Gnosis thing.
Shion: It's what CAUSED the Gnosis thing! It was the ENTIRE POINT of what they did on Miltia! What the [EFF] have you been paying attention to this whole time!?
Kevin: And they wonder why she isn't fond of them right now?
th1smomentisfate
My joke was more directed at players who kept hating on Shion way more than necessary long after these issues were revealed.
I like Shion. Her actions--and reactions, are fairly realistic. All the anti-Shion haters, I wonder how they'd react to these events: Seeing your mother and father get killed--twice, having cryptric conversations with a little girl who at times only you can see, randomly passing out and having very realistic lucid dreams, and possibly talking o what we call god, finding out your former BF has been messing with your life and pulling strings of most events like a puppeteer, having your friends + brother want to stop you when you want to save your mother from getting killed in "the past," having your friends stop you from going with your former BF especially considering you havent had sex in 3-4 years and are still gaga over said BF, finding out you are the cause for the looming eldritch abomination monsters, etc. To me, she acted rather well, considering everything.

Allen’s voice reminds of the ghost from destiny and destiny2
I'm watching them again...
I need to reevaluate my life. But this story and music are very interesting:)
Good story and is the most vast i ever watched. Xenosaga is quite interesting :3
no no no no KOSMOS 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 well see you later uh it's been an honor 😢😢😢😢 I'll always love you KOSMOS😢😢😢
they should make a remake....
4:28:41 reminds me of Professor Klaus, both talk of evolving into the divine.
7:22:11 "KOS-MOS... I mean, Mary." I always get a kick out of this part for some reason lol!
anybody else remember when shion was a no-nonsense, vaguely ditsy science girl with glasses and red hair
10/10 will cry again
can we get some more seeders on the torrent in the description for this? Please?
The 3 at that time weren't officially published under Square and remained as a blue print for the Xeno series. ie. Mary Magdalene would remain as Mary Magdalene towards the end of the intended final arc of Xenosaga and simply can't evolve as Miang Hawwa.

lol sry for delay happy Bday to ya
i enjoyed this film i was little confused but i did enjoyed i did watch 1 and 2 years ago that was amzing but i cried at the end because xmos died did enjoyed it
love this game!
Joachim sounds like George Takei
Shion says "I'm fine" at least a thousand times.
id love to stream this on my ps3...but mkv is not good...why not avi or mp4 like ep 1 and 2?
Hey you probably wont see this but what build and plugins did you use for pcsx2, I cant get a good set going without slowdown/glitches.
THanks for posting these btw , never come across a game with a story so vast. n_n

Alchemical Ensemble
Agreed. But what killed the second episode was a very frustrating fighting system, sadly.
such an amazing story
2:01:50 Even after all these years, this part in particular has always stuck.
I wish they would remake for the ps4...this was a fantastic story line
Re-imagining is a more precise word
1 and 2 were beasty as fuck loved the storyline so rich with emotion.
Virgil and Feb give me the awwwwwwwwwwwwwws
FYI You can only call a series a re-boot if they share the same name (Title and all major characters).
There should be a kickstarter for Xenosaga fangames. One of them could be called Yuriev: Prisoner of War. I don't know what it would be like, but sounds fun to me.
Seriously though (I was serious, but I still am), it's rather past time we received an admirably-budgeted Pied Piper (and I don't mean the real Pied Piper) stage play, at the very least! Think of all the awards it would, or should, win. I mean just imagine, being able to actually see Ziggy's past IN REAL LIFE.
No wonder why Square Enix can't make great games. The developers split from that company to make awesome games like Xenosaga.
Pardon? I'm not sure I understand your reply...
this could be like the most epic anime movie ever lol
I'd often heard that this was the case. It was an almost-prequel to Xenogears that couldn't be an actual prequel bc they (the creator of XG) didn't have the rights to the original story anymore.
Doesn't Abel remind anyone else of Fei from XenoGears?
Fei is the Reincarnation of Abel. That is why he reminds you of him
but Abel is physical form of u-do, is he really fei's reencarnation? Did Xenosaga developers said it somewhere? Does xenogears takes place sometime before xenosaga or it just a speculation?
***** Supposedly, Xenogears was supposed to be 'Xenosaga Episode 5', until business related BS forced the 2 game series to be separate instead of same storyline.
fan speculation wants to put xenogears(episode 5 which is shown after the credits of xenogears) with xenosaga. but well square has the rights to xenogears and bandai namco has the rights to xenosaga. nintendo has rights to xenoblade. so the most they will ever be is spiritually related to eachother with similar character models and story.
how are you not sobbing.
@tashababy1128841 No dvd for this, it was home made from PS2 emulator (PCSX2). You can download 720p .mkv version (see description).
8:35:00 JUST LIKE XENOBLADES ENDING when you hear her talk
8:35:00
Yes I think so.
Of course you do.
Xenoblade sometimes feels like it had a really condensed version of the gears/saga story. I think the direction Xenosaga took made it hard to fully appreciate the story they were trying to tell. It was extremely complex, convoluted, and pretentious to the point you needed an in game encyclopedia to understand the world. Still a great game and I am very happy to continue watching Monolith learn and succeed where Square-enix has utterly failed an entire generation of RPG players.
Xenosaga IV's main villain: Sellers. Dr. Wily up in this bitch.
I thought the Prince of Persia and Kevin sounded alike O_o. Then I found out they share voice actors :O
Your previous comment states Miang fits the bill completely implies that Kos Mos' evolution in the future falls into Miang Hawwa. Ideally reincarnation of Saga characters into the future will only fall into the same aesthetics as Gears a similar key role but a different plot/motive.
I'm aware of the Perfect Works and how the whole Xenogears universe was crafted into 5 episodes kid. The reason why the names are different is due to licensing as Gears is owned by Square, And since the Gears team moved to monolith and had Namco help rebrand the game, they can't use the same name nor continue gears for that matter. Hence why Saga was formed as a NEW Xeno series with new characters that's licensed under Namco. The only "reboot" to this is the theme in which is more recycled!

bring me a miracle !
Xenosaga is a re-boot. It would have ended in a modified Xenogears. Even the ending of Episode III set up a Xenogears like scenario
Couldn't arse ya to do an uncensored J-speak version I reckon? If not there's always Shokkuweibu, though it isn't nearly as highdef.
The same thing happened to MOMO, who housed Sakura's consciousness but in the end became her own entity, not Sakura, but MOMO
this has to be the biggest mind fuck of a game ever made, the series as w whole anyway
Yet he was a stupid pawn for Wilhelm. He expected even his betrayal.
Shion, Jin, chaos... the characters were already created before Xenogears Episode I was canceled and the Monolith team left Square
Episodes I and III are a lot better then II
The serious was good the only problem is that after playing the first and then the second its a lot of stuff that was cut out and changed from how it was suppose to be and that killed the true story of it all since it was suppose to be six games
now i've seen xenoblade chronicles, xenoblade chronicles x and xenosaga
i have yet to watch xenogears but here is my conclusion of the next xeno game that should hopefully come out
i think it could basically be a combination of every single game as all the games i've seen end with either 'we still have unfinished business' or 'we should explore this world' so maybe all the differant charactors will do some stuff in their respective parts until they all find each other and team up to do something like how in xenosaga we see that ziggy and momo join up with shion and everyone else at some point in the game.
one big reason for me thinking this is because the xeno universe is seen from completely different angles surrounding earth and mira because we have people from earth going to mira in xenoblade chronicles x, people (probably) already living on mira in xenoblade chronicles and people who don't have a set location and live in basically the whole universe in xenosaga. this means that all the differant perspectives on the universe surrounding earth and mira are gone which leads me to believe that there will be one more game that blends evry game from the series together.
also technically the is one more perspective on the universe and that is from people who live on one random planet out in space but if everything i've said is true then xenogears will take place on a random unknown planet but i need to go watch that game and see if i'm right
theletsplaycurse what are your thoughts now that xenoblade chronicles 2 has been announced?
What you said would be My dream game w/ overkill

Have you watched Xenogears yet? I recommend playing through that one. I still have the game I got as a birthday gift from my friends in Japan. So I don't understand Japanese yet, I got the U.S. version.
But your perspective could bring the main characters into another xeno game. It would be a tall order though.
Hmm... My retroactive ps3 needs maintenance. Once I get it running again, xenogears will be first.
Sadly, I've never played xenoblade, or any other xenogames.
But it's cool to know there are others who have deep appreciation for these stories.
such a sad ending but still love it besides the crying like a bitch lol
6:38:20 anyone know the music playing here
Better voice actor for Canaan this time around. Noice...
