kewl, when did you go to japan?
I`ve heard some things about the game.
First off, I heard that its pretty good in almost every aspect. The only detail I hear people complaining about is the BGM(Background music). They say there there`s barely ANY BGM. One guy I talked to played 15 hrs in and finally heard some in a dungeon for the first time. He says there is usually only BGM during an event or in battle, but other than that, he hasnt heard very much. Takashi said that he didnt put in much BGM because he wanted the events to be dramatic, so thats why there is usually only BGM during an event. But other than this aspect of the game, people say its pretty good. And without the BGM playing, its not all that bad. The game is still pretty good to play. Another thing I hear people complaining about is some of the load times. They say sometimes it loads fast, but sometimes its a bit slow. Even with the HDD.
Anyone know more about this?

I'm glad it's comin out then, it'll give me time to actually FIND Xenogears and play it.

XenoSaga must be the biggest or most complex game on PS2 because it's the first game to have 2 DVDs, and DVDs hold a whole lotta memory!

I hear the loading time absolutely sucks w/out the harddrive, but i figure namco/monolith soft.. will clean that issue up a bit before it arrives.

kewl, thanks for the links and pics.
i think that site`s server was down for a few days, so it wasnt working before. Its ok now though.
But did you hear yet? They might have to tone down this game for the US version. I think that seriously sucks.
I hope ESRB just slaps on the mature rating for it and doesnt tone it down and put on a teen rating.
This game has some violent scenes in it. and from the pic of the box you showed in your post, it looks like it has some sort of warning on it. the same warning i saw on the resident evil and silent hill games.
This is one of the reasons I hate that damn parents board. They always make the developers tone down the game if its too violent or has any adult scenes.

*spoilers*

The game contains a scene where the character albedo rummages around the inside of the character M.O.M.O., looking for something left by her creator. It is after she is exposed to some kind of a light source. Albeddo dives his arm elbow deep into her body through her chest/stomach area. They are both clothed. M.O.M.O. is lying on his lap. Albeddo taunts her in the process and she does squeal in pain. M.O.M.O. is not human, so she is rescued unharmed. If your wondering how he can do that, its because he has some sort of strange power where he can make his arm like liquid and go into her body.

That scene may sound sick and very gruesome to you, but its there not to show that albeddo is some sort of pedophile, but to show that he`s more of a sadistic person who enjoys inflicting pain on others and to himself as well. there is another scene where albeddo rips off the arm of a M.O.M.O. clone, and then rips off his own arm to show that he can regenerate.
a friend of mine who has the game says he thought that scene was more disturbing than the one where he looks through M.O.M.O., which people call a somewhat "sexual" scene. That will most likely be toned down if not completely taken off the US version. Albeddo does rummage/fondle around her stomach area for around 10 minutes.
That scene i`m ok with them toning down a bit, but with other scenes and the violence. well, that just wouldnt be right. I want the game to be as much intact as it was with the japanese version. except with english in it. Thats why I hope ESRB just puts on a mature rating.

Unhappy

i hope they don't take too much out of the game..thanks for the info though. that event you described sounds a bit..what's the word excessive.... a whole 10 minutes

if the event you described adds to the character, i hope they keep it in.. but if it's just in there to be graphic they most certainly will take it out.i wonder who decides these things...they will most likely see cartoon characters and say it's a little kids game and blood/gore should not be in it..although look at Xenogears, it was rated E for everybody and included a booty shot at the beggining introduction sequence and blood in at least three of the CG sequences..if they let those slip by with a E i'm hoping that they will let some things slip by with a T rating but it would be best to make it an M..an even better idea is to make two versions.I seriously doubt that will happen though.
thanks again for the info..i am most deffinately buying Xenosaga when it's released.Hopefully they will announce the release date soon.

yeah, excessive may be the word. but the developers always have a reason to put a scene in. they wouldnt put one in for no reason, cuz that would just be dumb.
That scene was just to add to albeddo`s character. to make it totally clear that he`s one sadistic s.o.b..
Its kind of the same with other things.
They have shion fight a battle without KOS-MOS and puts her with weak ass stats against an opponent thats like god to show that shion is weak, and KOS-MOS is strong. lol
oh, and btw, I heard there is a scene where the characters are on a beach in swim suits and fight. but that scene may also get toned down as well. they might just have them wear normal clothes. lol

Those screens make the game look great, but do you need to have played Xenogears in order to play this one?

Not exactly, since Xenosaga (Episode I) does start at the very beginning of the series. But I suggest you do play Xenogears (Episode V) as it has brief explanations of the Episodes before it, and is probably more enjoyable.(As for the last comment, look for more details in the "Xenosaga-Disappointment!?" thread.)

If the series goes well enough. look forward to a xenogears remake(episode V). But if not... well, you wouldnt know the entire story neways... but that xenogears remake would take quite a few years to come out. so might as well play it now. its pretty good neways. if you can bare with the dated graphics and a few other things.
