Well, to start off with, I've just finished Xenosaga 1... and I loved and still love that game more than I love FFIX, hentai and milkshake. The ending was the kind of ending that made you want to play the next Xenosaga game at once, so I did. The same day I finished Xenosaga 1 (which was yesterday), I started to play Xenosaga 2. I already knew about the changed character design, which was a bit dissapointing but... hey, no big deal. However... I soon noticed that the voices for most of the characters where completely different as well... which was a much bigger dissapointment than the character designs. Now, neither the new designs or the new voices are bad. No, that's not the problem. The problem is that I've got used to the old voices and character designs in Xenosaga 1... and now all those lovely characters that I've become familar with seems so different. It almost feels like there's a whole new set of characters in Xenosaga 2. Maybe I'll get used to it after a while, but still...
Now, although I was feeling a bit dissapointed about the voice actors, overall character design and even the battle system (everything seems to be so far away and I really don't like the command menu)... I still think it's an overall good game so far and the cutscenes are awesome. So... even though I got a pretty dissapointing first impression of the game, nothing's stopping me from keep playing it.
But then... the next scary suprise! I found out what everyone else found out like... a year ago or something like that. Yeah, that's right... I'm talking about the seemingly well-known fact that the key writer got fired. Who could possibly do something as stupid as fireing the key writer of such a great and famous RPG? Geez...
So... if I've understood everything correctly, the story of Ep3 and even some parts of Ep2 will be completely different from what it was orginally meant to be while the orginal story idea for Ep2 and Ep3 is lost forever. If this is the case, I'll probably always feel like the Xenosaga series wasn't finished the way is was supposed to be.
And then, of course, the fact that episode 3 will be the last game in the series is the deadly finishing blow that tears my soul appart. :(
So... HERE'S MY DESPERATE QUESTIONS:
1) Does anyone know if the voice actors in Ep3 will be the same as in Ep1 or Ep2 or once again some completely new ones?
2) WHY was the "key writer" (No, I don't know his/her name) fired?
3) Do you think the chanse that the key writer ever will get back even exists?
4) Does the key writer have ANYTHING to do with the story of Ep3?
5) Has it been confirmed that Ep3 will be the last one, no matter what happens?
...
Oh yeah, and... KOS-MOS IS FREAKING HAWT!!! <3
