I really hope that some fansub group takes it as a project as soon as it comes out! The best thing about Xenosaga is the storyline and the characters, and an anime is going to be the best thing to expand on these two.

CS, did you play Xenogears on the PSone?

[ColdShoulder]

No i didn't , I want to... But I didn't find it anywhere. "hopeing for a remake lol"

That game was sold out for sure, I don't think that there was a platinum hit for it. Anyway, I believe that the Xenogears is the 6th episode in the saga, it has a completely different battle system and character set, but we would have to play the whole series to see if it would be the final episode for the Xenosaga.

Yeah I heared, But in your opinion is it better than Xenosaga, A lot of people said it is and Xenosaga is bad compared to it, but since you played both and liked both what do you think is better?...In the game play and characters not the story.

Xenosaga was just so much different, in terms of storyline, Xenogears was so much better, because it was a complete storyline, unlike Xenosaga that has so many mysteries yet to be solved. In terms of actual gameplay, they had completely different systems, I think that Xenosaga is much easier that Xenogears, but still Xenogears was much more friendly to new RPG comers unlike Xenosaga which was way too much for because of the massive amount of FMVs. I enjoyed both games so much, Xenogears was a fresh new idea, while Xenosaga was a really deep and overwhelming experience. Visually, there is no comparison, Xenosaga is better cause it is on the PS2, and even the battle system of Xenosaga, it is much more coherent than that of Xenogears, the thing about Xenogears is that it was a Squaresoft product, so it had that special aura around it and even though Xenosaga is made by the same actual team, you still at times lose the "Square" connection, or that is what I personally felt.

I played Xenogears so long ago, I can't even remember it that well now anyway, at its time, I remember that it was a very big thing, probably, just like Xenosaga now.

*wasn't my reply so confusing! *

I found a trailer available for download at some website, have you seen it CS?

[ColdShoulder]

I went looking for it after i saw your post, KOS-MOS didn't look good :/
Shion was okay...can't wait to see the first episode.

[Blue_Chi]

I have not seen the trailer myself cause I am in Oman and I have here a slow dial-up connection. I can't wait to go back and use proper internet.

Anyway, Xenosaga Episode 2 is coming sometime in February, less than two months is left.
