Mubashir Khan lol true, and another great movie to play is Shadow Hearts Covenant. Over freaking 6 hours long cutscenes despite the low budget Aruze gave Nautilus and with gameplay cutscenes we clock at over 12 hours. Takahashi and Machida went overboard with the story in the PS2 era but Sony market their console as a movie player, not even Squaresoft had this long cutscenes without gameplay. Kojima got jealous and wanted to outdo them with MGS4. 8 hours and 29 min to watch cutscenes. Suck it competitors!
Can I just talk for a second about how good this dub is? Think back to the early 2000s, when this came out - remember how terrible video game voice acting was? I feel like this game, along with Metal Gear Solid and a few others, pushed the envelope and demonstrated that video games could have voice acting that was beyond what was heard in, say, Resident Evil. The fact that they got the same studio and crew that gave us the Cowboy Bebop dub certainly didn't hurt.
Damn. Rewatching the cutscenes is exactly why we need a remake for Switch. I'm sure that Xenoblade fans will appreciate having two separate Xeno series on one console.
+Noah Fence It always killed me that he couldn't do that in battle. I kept using him and leveling him up hoping that'd be his final tech or something. Divine Spear is great and all, but come on...
Hes not even at his full potential. With the vessels of anima activated hes nearly a spectator lol maybe it also has to deal with him being a allegory jesus
chaos has an extremely calming presence, he can convince anyone with anything just by talking to them. Allen is deeply in love with Shion that whenever she's around his whole focus shifts to her completely especially when she is facing danger so that's why he was too distracted to be pulled in by chaos's aura. Also, chaos doesn't force people into trusting him but his effect is potent enough to attract other ordinarily focused people.
Same. My whole family literally gathered around the TV at 7pm for like a month to watch me play Xeno. If there weren't any cutscenes that night or I had to level-grind, they'd be really irritated
Thank you lmao. I hated how 80% of dungeons/space ship Corridors and such had absolutely NO MUSIC playing in the BG like why? But the cutscene music was great
@@KainSpada09 Well, technically all of them was at one point the same reality, not just the same Earth, or Universe. It was through the Conduit (as we came to learn throughout the story) that the reality Klaus originated from was fractured creating several new realities. these new realities are the resulting stories we have come to know throughout the series.
I mean it’s just a problem of tbh I have no idea if it’s some weird licensing issue on who owns the right to the game it shouldn’t matter?

I don't see it personally the models look very muddy even for PS2 era games, now I will say the story definitely stands the test of time being very expensive, and intriguing to an almost Movie Level degree.
I find it interesting how nearly two decades later Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition still can't match the quality of the character models in a nearly 20 year old PS2 game.
@Hkg 1 The characters from Xenosaga episode 1 have depth, contrast, and detail. The Xenoblade DE characters have this flat oversaturated cartoony look to them.
I noticed that upon watching this for the first time about a year ago and it made me so happy. I was so glad that they included it in the game - especially given that I did not know who that character was, nor what was to come. Great inclusion of detail, and good potential foreshadowing.
I quit at the end, bored with the repetitive gameplay of running away from random battler over and over again, came here to just watch the final hour so I agree lol.
I loved this game so much. Kosmos was such an interesting Android, to be honest, she sparked my entire interest in Androids and Cyborgs and the differences between them. I loved the Glossary you could use to look up all the information and terms for their world too. I love the scene in the opening where she blast straight through the Lt, so she could more effectively save Shion. When I am playing an game and I shoot through my teammate or throw grenades, AOE, or anything and Friendly Fire my team but still kill the bad guys/boss/enemies. It's called Kosmos-ing
This is still one of my all time favorite games. I was at a GameStop getting a copy of the original FF VII back in..2002? Lol but they gave me this 8 hour movie called Xenosaga. We put it in some 6 months later and I was hooked. Love the characters, the story. The second game was dicey...the gameplay was not as good as the first..there seemed to be a host of problems. But I was in it for the long haul..lol and the third game was fucking fantastic!! I would love to play this on one of the current consoles!
Thank you, thank you so much for uploading these! I have been wanting to find just the cut scenes for this game to watch all the way through! I really appreciate it, it's such a fabulous game series. You have my compliments!
Just gone done watching all of this over a few days. Watching it like this makes it a lot easier to appreciate the story, I'm seeing so much stuff I didn't really pay attention to when I was actually playing the game. Thanks a lot for posting.
Yes. Xenosaga Xenogears Xenoblade are all Heavily connected and the DLC truly confirmed this fan speculation. I played a xenogears demo Before and it had some cool concepts but. Xenoblade is my kryptonite
Y'know, with all the buildup the Gnosis got, and with such a fantastic intro... I kinda expected something a bit more menacing than giant space-cuttlefish -_-
I think it is a reference to the fact that Kos Mos was an artificial vessel created to awaken Mary's consciousness in it. While she had blue eyes, that consciousness awakend, even if only for some time and in extreme situations. "Will feeling pain... make me complete?" I guess she was a bit confused by her state in that moment, probably even a surge of emotions coming through her as she realized some things she can do beyond her body, but probably not quite there in terms of awaking the Mary's consciousness. The strugle to to reach her final form is what probably puts her in the position to ask herself if more pain will do it...
every experience, even the ones we don't want, helps us to grow and change. If we never felt pain, we'd never know to value the peace that we have. We'd never know to value the happy little things we have. Maybe she wanted to temper her heart to be as strong as her artificial body
They apparently thought about it, but market analysis said it wouldn't be profitable. At this point, Bamco is content enough to just sell off KOS-MOS/T-ELOS to various games like X-Zone, Xenoblade, and SRT. That way they make money without having to put much in. I think if we ever see a remaster or remake, it will be a situation like Baten Kaitos Origins or Bayonetta 2/3. Nintendo funds it, and it becomes exclusive to the switch/whatever console, despite Bamco still owning the rights.
It's a very unique story. Kos-Mos is an android. An artificial life. So it's interesting that she has such an integral role in the fate of their universe
Sometimes I think about how they never touched actual land. They were in space for the entirety of the first game. Something about that makes me uneasy.
Do we count them making it to Second Miltia at the end? But wow, never really thought of it like that. Even though the Kukai Foundation and the Cathedral Ship are masses of planetary scale, it never occurred to me that the entire game never took place on a literal planet.
roberto xs I don’t think we should count that cause you never get to actually walk around in second militia. But it did make me feel better when they finally got there. It almost felt like a horror story with the vast emptiness of outer space combined with the gnosis who are like alien ghosts and a guy who dismembers himself to torment a little girl.
For some reason my favorite part that made me laugh was: Albedo: Mwahahahahahahahaha!!! -:D Rubedo: Stop mocking us!!! -:( Albedo: Mwahahahahahahahaha!!!! -:D
To me, this is the greatest RPG of all time. I love FF7, but this one in particular had the deepest story and most convoluted plot twists...not to mention the battle system which is second only to Grandia 3. I really hope they decide to finish the series.
Tbh the box art of KOS-MOS with what “angel wings” was cool. Ok I remember I was at GameStop or EB games. And read the front and back. Opened it up and browsed the booklet. Skimmed through it. I thought the characters were cool and I read the descriptions. JR. is my fav this dude where’s like this rad overcoat with some sort of cross thing on it with lime green skinny jeans lmao with the zip off leg piece we all remember as teens. And these electric blue uhhhh it’s 2024 So some sort of mid chukka boots with the ONE cross earring and bright pink hair. I was like “…he’s so punk rock!” Sucks it takes forever like 20 hours for his intro and even then he doesn’t join immediately. And he’s a gunner with hilariously dubbed battle cries!
Wow, the storyline, the music, the characters! They're all so good! and the thing that makes it awesome is how interesting th story is and the backgrounds of the characters! Its so...just wow! Btw its soo convenient how when they're swallowed up by the Giant Gnosis the only players you see are the ones that can actually fight
I always come Back to this! I love to Xeno series really. I’m more invested in Xenoblade Chronicles. I played the shit outta 2 and lost all my 145 hours but it’s ok cuz I fuck with WAIFU BLADE GACHA I Played 3 just once, like consistently every day and I fun fact*** each and every like 6-9 play session I was high AF. The god tier music!
Man this game holds up after 22 years and on the PS2 for that matter. I got it on my 16th birthday on release the release date. I've always had a special place for Episode 1. This was the best of the trilogy for me. Still to this day I'm sending out a big F U to the final boss Sophie Peithos. I love the Elsa crew, hate Shion's voice, the song Kokoro still is my all time fav. Episode 2+3 were good but Ep. 1 is a classic banger minus Virgil's 10 minute speech and that creepy bunny. Thanks for the upload!! Binging all 3 Episodes this weekend .
RIGHT!!! It Draws you into its world . Its just soo damn flawless in how they captured scinece fiction and have you care for characters you just met. I will always have a love for Ziggy as my Fav. Whats yours?
I was mentally scarred by the Gnosis attack in the beginning of this game when I was a child. I would always think about this game though and have always wanted to play it again however since I had never gotten very far in the story (Game froze in the beginning of the game). I wish they would release it as a PSN game on the ps4 or something. I would like to actually play it for once
After learning about Xenoblade Chronicles 3 FR expac. Please Nintendo and Monolith. Get this game a remaster. Can’t play this game amymore but i want to experience this master piece again. Also the OST to this game….. my god rehearing it again after maturing changes so much i experienced in this game.
Funny fact…this game apparently does have anime. I think I saw it on Funimation some Years back but it merged with Crunchyroll and nobody can find this 12 ep show. Some “pirated” sites may have it…but all three fucking hentai ads are infuriating. Best option I found and it’s costly is to get it off Amazon
I really want to see them bring this back for the PlayStation 4 or the Nintendo Switch. If they release the trilogy for the switch, I’ll buy one in a heartbeat
Same, but it's prolly not gonna happen. Ever. Why? Because Bamco owns the rights to the series, but Monolith Soft is owned by Nintendo. Then again, KOS-MOS is in Xenoblade Chronicles 2... Who knows?
@@bradleypearl2986 No, the reason it hasn’t happened is because they did a market test in 2019 and concluded it would be a sales bomb. Maybe they’ll reevaluate and it could be more profitable now but they’ve gone on record to state that was the reason.
Watching this reminded me of how many cut scenes there were in Xenosaga when I played it on the PS2 back in the early 2000s. I also hated the level grinding that I did just to progress.
But that's alot of story and interconnection divided between 3 game franchises in the same series. Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade all have empathetic and enjoyable characters, more plot twists than a spiral staircase, as well as hundreds of hours of game time.
That’s because Shion is voiced by Lia Sargent in Xenosaga episodes 1 and 3 and in episode 2, she is voiced by Olivia Hack. I know about this because I’ve studied voice actors for years.
Ah, yes! Feed me your hostility! Pierce me with your hatred!- albedo set engines for ramming speed, penetrate the portsite-shelly the entire ma belle peche scene
No. He's really an incarnation of the "failsafe of the universe," the power of Anima. He was also a disciple of the Messiah and the counterpart of Mary Magdalene, who represented the power of Animus.
@@mangaka08 Well Xenogears was by Squaresoft in the first place so the Xenosaga universe is created from a Squaresoft idea. Too bad they didn't do all 6 games, although it's never too late. I'd love to see them continue the saga for PC.
Really soon. You have to understand that this is a character heavy driven game. Story above all else and thus it will show a lot of time in "mundane" things with the characters. However if you have played the game it does have merit. By the end of the third episode your mind is going to get blown away and care about the characters at the same time.
I'm getting caught up on the Xenosaga games and watching all three of deivistik's Full Movie videos. If they're gonna tie this into the Xenoblade series then I want to know everything!
It break my heart that this series was never continued. I wanted closure but never got it. Then the anime came out and I was hopeful but that too was canceled. Sad to know we will never get to see the ending of this series.
After seeing how Xenoblade 3’s DLC ended and the news of the Xenoblade X remaster for Switch on March 2025, I think that Monolithsoft is going to tie the different Xeno series together and to complete them with their future games. At the very least, it seems obvious to me that they will give continuation to Xenoblade X. That’s why they had to bring it back. It’s either that or they wanted that story brought back. And the only other thing that’s close to that story (with the importance of a female android) is Xenosaga.

@@natesamadhi33 Also weird how Chaos went from Veemon to sedated Tai to not as sedated Tai as the series went on.
between Xenosaga and Evangelion, Japan is really intense when it comes to Christian and Hebrew symbolism.
Just watch/play Xenogears

All this production value with a game that only has one battle theme.
They made you think there was only one and then dropped the final boss theme.
There was a time where I'd ply this game every day because I just kept wanting to advance the story and see what happens. I was riveted.

In this time n era theres plenty of salt on different social sites n i bet it due to gnosis providing alot if that salt.
Love this game. It has a lot of problems, granted, but I can forgive nearly all of them because of how ambitious it was, and its soundtrack.
"Will feeling pain make me complete?
was that a metaphor for giving birth like a womans pain in child birth? I often wondered
I think it is a reference to the fact that Kos Mos was an artificial vessel created to awaken Mary's consciousness in it. While she had blue eyes, that consciousness awakend, even if only for some time and in extreme situations.
"Will feeling pain... make me complete?"
I guess she was a bit confused by her state in that moment, probably even a surge of emotions coming through her as she realized some things she can do beyond her body, but probably not quite there in terms of awaking the Mary's consciousness. The strugle to to reach her final form is what probably puts her in the position to ask herself if more pain will do it...
every experience, even the ones we don't want, helps us to grow and change. If we never felt pain, we'd never know to value the peace that we have. We'd never know to value the happy little things we have. Maybe she wanted to temper her heart to be as strong as her artificial body
This game gets more and more relevant to my life the more and more I delve into occult studies.... O)_____(O

Really wish they would do a Switch/PS4 Remaster.
The PS2 I have freezes on the cutscenes.
They apparently thought about it, but market analysis said it wouldn't be profitable. At this point, Bamco is content enough to just sell off KOS-MOS/T-ELOS to various games like X-Zone, Xenoblade, and SRT. That way they make money without having to put much in.
I think if we ever see a remaster or remake, it will be a situation like Baten Kaitos Origins or Bayonetta 2/3. Nintendo funds it, and it becomes exclusive to the switch/whatever console, despite Bamco still owning the rights.
@@TheNekromantique well that sucks im willing to buy xenoblade and xenogears so they do that I would get xenogears for vita
Pop it in a relatively decent PC and run it on PCSX2
It's a very unique story. Kos-Mos is an android. An artificial life. So it's interesting that she has such an integral role in the fate of their universe
Sometimes I think about how they never touched actual land. They were in space for the entirety of the first game. Something about that makes me uneasy.
Do we count them making it to Second Miltia at the end? But wow, never really thought of it like that. Even though the Kukai Foundation and the Cathedral Ship are masses of planetary scale, it never occurred to me that the entire game never took place on a literal planet.
roberto xs I don’t think we should count that cause you never get to actually walk around in second militia. But it did make me feel better when they finally got there. It almost felt like a horror story with the vast emptiness of outer space combined with the gnosis who are like alien ghosts and a guy who dismembers himself to torment a little girl.
For some reason my favorite part that made me laugh was:
Albedo: Mwahahahahahahahaha!!! -:D
Rubedo: Stop mocking us!!! -:(
Albedo: Mwahahahahahahahaha!!!! -:D
best series I've ever played
wow, a female JRPG fan...not something you see every day :P
Oh yes sir! Huge fan. Thank you for noticing!
dgfeagin not really
"Everything will be alright... See with your heart"
Oh my god every time. I'm gonna cry. thats LOVE
Taking into effect this came out in 2001 or so,...this is absolutely incredible and an amazing work of art!
To me, this is the greatest RPG of all time. I love FF7, but this one in particular had the deepest story and most convoluted plot twists...not to mention the battle system which is second only to Grandia 3. I really hope they decide to finish the series.
FF10 though!
Tbh the box art of KOS-MOS with what “angel wings” was cool. Ok I remember I was at GameStop or EB games. And read the front and back. Opened it up and browsed the booklet. Skimmed through it. I thought the characters were cool and I read the descriptions. JR. is my fav this dude where’s like this rad overcoat with some sort of cross thing on it with lime green skinny jeans lmao with the zip off leg piece we all remember as teens. And these electric blue uhhhh it’s 2024
So some sort of mid chukka boots with the ONE cross earring and bright pink hair. I was like “…he’s so punk rock!” Sucks it takes forever like 20 hours for his intro and even then he doesn’t join immediately. And he’s a gunner with hilariously dubbed battle cries!
Wow, the storyline, the music, the characters! They're all so good! and the thing that makes it awesome is how interesting th story is and the backgrounds of the characters! Its so...just wow! Btw its soo convenient how when they're swallowed up by the Giant Gnosis the only players you see are the ones that can actually fight
I always come
Back to this! I love to Xeno series really. I’m more invested in Xenoblade Chronicles. I played the shit outta 2 and lost all my 145 hours but it’s ok cuz I fuck with WAIFU BLADE GACHA
I Played 3 just once, like consistently every day and I fun fact*** each and every like 6-9 play session I was high AF. The god tier music!
thanks for making this. I'm just about to start replaying 3 and your 1 & 2 videos were a nice refresher since it's been a decade since I played them
Man this game holds up after 22 years and on the PS2 for that matter. I got it on my 16th birthday on release the release date. I've always had a special place for Episode 1. This was the best of the trilogy for me. Still to this day I'm sending out a big F U to the final boss Sophie Peithos. I love the Elsa crew, hate Shion's voice, the song Kokoro still is my all time fav.
Episode 2+3 were good but Ep. 1 is a classic banger minus Virgil's 10 minute speech and that creepy bunny. Thanks for the upload!! Binging all 3 Episodes this weekend .
If you seen it this, let me tell you, xenosaga, now it's confirmed on the xenoseries, and soon we, will see it on the Nintendo switch.
Would have been nice to see some of the battles played out in movie form ...
Its' amazing, I love Xenosaga!!!! It's so spiritual and moving...
RIGHT!!! It Draws you into its world . Its just soo damn flawless in how they captured scinece fiction and have you care for characters you just met. I will always have a love for Ziggy as my Fav. Whats yours?
I was mentally scarred by the Gnosis attack in the beginning of this game when I was a child. I would always think about this game though and have always wanted to play it again however since I had never gotten very far in the story (Game froze in the beginning of the game). I wish they would release it as a PSN game on the ps4 or something. I would like to actually play it for once
Thank you so much for making this! I dont have the time right now to go play through the game again, but this is so perfect!
These are exciting times if you just got done playing the Xenoblade 3 dlc
SEVEN FREAKING HOURS? I use to play this as a boy?
Brian Booth i spent months trying to beat all xenosaga games but i lost my disc2 for the 3rd game
hells yeah and lets be honest more REPLAYED BECAUSE THIS WAS FUCKING TIMELESS!
Brian Booth yep played all of them great story
Seems to be running thing within Xeno games.
Gears had 18 hours
Blade 1 has 10
Blade X has 8
Blade 2 has 17 with story dlc.
@@AleXwern blade 2 has even more with blade quests.
"The algorithms I have been programmed with do not support the comprehension of illogical human thought" SAVAGE
After learning about Xenoblade Chronicles 3 FR expac. Please Nintendo and Monolith. Get this game a remaster. Can’t play this game amymore but i want to experience this master piece again. Also the OST to this game….. my god rehearing it again after maturing changes so much i experienced in this game.
Thanks for uploading this! Xenosaga I wasn't released in Europe, so thanks to this I could experience the story anyway :)
This was the best dubbed game back in the day, it felt like playing a real anime lol….it sucks the later games weren’t as good 😢
Funny fact…this game apparently does have anime. I think I saw it on Funimation some
Years back but it merged with Crunchyroll and nobody can find this 12 ep show. Some “pirated” sites may have it…but all three fucking hentai ads are infuriating. Best option I found and it’s costly is to get it off Amazon
I really want to see them bring this back for the PlayStation 4 or the Nintendo Switch. If they release the trilogy for the switch, I’ll buy one in a heartbeat
Same, but it's prolly not gonna happen. Ever. Why? Because Bamco owns the rights to the series, but Monolith Soft is owned by Nintendo.
Then again, KOS-MOS is in Xenoblade Chronicles 2... Who knows?
@@bradleypearl2986 No, the reason it hasn’t happened is because they did a market test in 2019 and concluded it would be a sales bomb. Maybe they’ll reevaluate and it could be more profitable now but they’ve gone on record to state that was the reason.
We need a remaster of this masterpiece
Ah,the first part. I love Xenogears very much. Xenosaga even more.
I adore this masterpiece.
A great movie to watch only a few days before the release of Xenoblade Chronicles X.
shoulda said that December first boi
too late now
Oh how little we knew back then...
The Archmage Atleast we know more than Rex. Shulk doesn't care though. Too busy enjoying those endless worlds.
omg... you're did great job making this video! thank you for uploading!
These scenes are directed beautifully
Watching this reminded me of how many cut scenes there were in Xenosaga when I played it on the PS2 back in the early 2000s. I also hated the level grinding that I did just to progress.
"I am doing this for your sake, Rubido"
ALL OF THIS FOR AN ALCOHOLIC DRINK?!?!
nicholas andrzejkiewicz It's the only thing that's made any sense in this game. Dude's immortal and needs a stiff drink.
... It was a good drink.
thank you so much for upload the entire xenosaga video game series cut-scenes ^^
When Shion sensed Kosmos escaping the Proto "whatever" brings me to tears.
A hidden rpg gem
one of the best games, and really epic storyline ! sad there was only 3 series in xeno !
And it was supposed to be a six games series. But got crammed into 3 sadly.
But that's alot of story and interconnection divided between 3 game franchises in the same series. Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade all have empathetic and enjoyable characters, more plot twists than a spiral staircase, as well as hundreds of hours of game time.
1:09:22 "What the hell? Lost?"
This line cracks me up every time! 😆
Thanks for uploading this
Shion sounds like Yuna from Final Fantasy X
More like R.Dorothy Wayneright from The Big O.
She does
That’s because Shion is voiced by Lia Sargent in Xenosaga episodes 1 and 3 and in episode 2, she is voiced by Olivia Hack. I know about this because I’ve studied voice actors for years.
@@BellerinaStargirlI always found her voice soothing. She is the perfect person to care for KOS-MOS… & ALLEN
Xenosaga is just the Transcript but made into a video game tbh... Which is more epic than I can ever hope to describe
Beautiful story, very grateful to uploader deivistik2 for creating this - thank you.
My favorite part of the game is when Kevin dies. Man, I hate that guy.
Yeah, he sucks. Eff him.
Same
Ah, yes! Feed me your hostility! Pierce me with your hatred!- albedo
set engines for ramming speed, penetrate the portsite-shelly
the entire ma belle peche scene
Don't know about you people, but when I play or see this game played... gives me goosebumps. My reasoning is for the nostalgia than anything.
KOSMOS AT XENOBLADE 2!!!! BABYYYY
Thanos Vasiliou aye!
3:25:52 Cherenkov can't grab his coffee! Poor Cherenkov.
an amazing dub its like watching a badass anime but its a game
You prolly already know this, but there was an anime of this. Never watched it though. Never got into the Xenoseries 'till recently.
I would love an HD Collection for Xenosaga
At the very end, when Shion turns around,this is the most ...i have no words for this moment 11!
God this game is desperate need of an HD update.
No. He's really an incarnation of the "failsafe of the universe," the power of Anima. He was also a disciple of the Messiah and the counterpart of Mary Magdalene, who represented the power of Animus.
I'm telling ya, Monolith Soft is definitely doing something Xenosaga related, even more after that Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed ending.
True, them lore linking saga to blade is huge. That ending tho with Earth coming back and the blue light. Kosmos?
I remember how much people complain about this game having too much dialogue in it. I do agree with that somewhere but I really enjoyed the cutscenes.
Thx u thx y thx u thx u....oh thank you very much for uploading this... its the most epic game ps i had ever played in my childhood
@2:15:34 when the dog tripped up Ziggy's son was too cute and funny!
3 is freaking amazing, i hope they do an hd for all 3
I love this game so much, the start is amazing when the gnosis attack the fleet!
Dude. Tetsuya Takahashi is just that good, man. SQUARESOFT made a huge mistake in letting him go. That guy's mind is like... well it's like this.
Xeno Series > Final Fantasy period.
+Aaron C a pretty valid and agreeable opinion.
@@mangaka08 Well Xenogears was by Squaresoft in the first place so the Xenosaga universe is created from a Squaresoft idea. Too bad they didn't do all 6 games, although it's never too late. I'd love to see them continue the saga for PC.
@@CJHElectro I would be so happy if they continue Xenosaga story. But even if they don't, I'm grateful that Xeno games exist.
Watching all 3 episodes starting now... I'd finish at 8am the next morning... and its noon right now O.o
Really soon. You have to understand that this is a character heavy driven game. Story above all else and thus it will show a lot of time in "mundane" things with the characters. However if you have played the game it does have merit. By the end of the third episode your mind is going to get blown away and care about the characters at the same time.
Thank you so much for uploading this!
Awesome job compiling all this!
Thank you so much for uploading this *w* xenosaga is one of my favorite sagas ever
Who else came here after Xenoblade 3 DLC
I'm getting caught up on the Xenosaga games and watching all three of deivistik's Full Movie videos. If they're gonna tie this into the Xenoblade series then I want to know everything!
i still play this game..
Xenosaga is nothing more than the metal gear universe in the future
"NANO MACHINES SON"
Tamihana Kerehona How?
Thats not a bad catch actually. Though I feel it deals less with deciet and more on human error
Aboslutly nothing like metal gear
KOS-MOS... a weapon to surpass Metal Gear.
It break my heart that this series was never continued. I wanted closure but never got it. Then the anime came out and I was hopeful but that too was canceled. Sad to know we will never get to see the ending of this series.
After seeing how Xenoblade 3’s DLC ended and the news of the Xenoblade X remaster for Switch on March 2025, I think that Monolithsoft is going to tie the different Xeno series together and to complete them with their future games. At the very least, it seems obvious to me that they will give continuation to Xenoblade X. That’s why they had to bring it back. It’s either that or they wanted that story brought back. And the only other thing that’s close to that story (with the importance of a female android) is Xenosaga.
Replaying this series after so long and when Kos-Mos first meets Chaos I did not notice that Chaos teleported in the room. Had to play at 0.25x.
