Possibility of a Xenosaga HD Collection?

There was no hand in chest in our version. Rather he put his hand close to MOMO's head and and a weird light thing started to glow around his hand and her head. That was how he probed her mind. It makes enough senses and never seemed out of place.

In the original though, he just outright sticks his hand in her lower body, starts rummaging around her insides, and goes "ohhhh,, AHHHHH" while she's squirming around in pain and terror.

Also he breaks a little girl's arm in the original version. Oddly you can still hear the snap in our version but you don't see the actual arm-breaking.

Huh, for some reason I remember the hand going inside her. Perhaps I'm just visualizing a youtube clip when I think about it. :p

Can't forget a scene like that. Nothing like a guy who rips his head off and then have it laugh at you from the ground.

Apparently there is a fan petition to make this happen but it's still a long way from reaching the required goal.

Well that's depressing...

I just started replaying episode 1 this past weekend! I remembered that it had a pretty amazing story and the music was well done, but I had forgotten that the voice actors did a decent job for the time, even if the lips don't sync with the sound. HD versions would be cool.

Overall the VA's are decent, but here and there they have some straight up fantastic ones. Crispin Freeman is absolutely fantastic as both Albedo and Nigredo.

It's all about Lia Sargent's Shion, Bridget Hoffman's KOS-MOS and Michael McConnohie's Margulis.

I also missed Sherry Lynn as MOMO.

chaos I can take or leave, but Dark Stephen Prince was way better than EP2 Joshua Seth. It took him a long time to become good.

Obviously, Albedo is the greatest by far. Margulis is amazing, too. When he does other games I always just wish he was Margulis.

>>> :confused::confused: Bandai-Namco still own part of the Xeno series? this means Squareenix can put their hands on Xenogears again if they wanted?
I just dont get all the legal stuff behind the Xeno series migrating from one publisher to another, if someone could explain it to me it would be great..:luca:

The crappy part of the industry. When you make a game and can't distribute it, you get a publisher to distribute it. And in return, you have to give them all future rights to it as well. Then, they in effect, own it, and you don't. It sucks. But that's how the game is played I guess

SOMETIMES publishers will publish a game without the rights, and just enjoy the sales and let the developers keep their baby. But that is super duper rare :/

Square-Enix owns the rights Xenogears which was developed back in the days of Square. The team left and formed their own company called Monolith Soft after Square nixed the idea of making Xenogears into its own series.

Monolith Soft created Xenosaga with the help of Namco-Banda, at the time Namco. Namoc-Bandai thus owns the rights to Xenosaga. The series started off promising but executive meddling, core staff quitting/being let go and weak sales as the series contiue

Nintendo later bought Monolith Soft to become a second party developer for them, where they went on to develop Xenoblade and Xenoblade Chronicles X.

All of the Xeno games are developed by the same team that did Xenogears (though some staff members have left and new ones have joined over the years) but their games have been published and thus owned by three different companies.

Never played xenosaga so a hd collection would be great since I don't feel like dusting off the ol ps2.

I don't feel very strongly about it one way or the other. I played and enjoyed the first game, but never got around to playing the other two. At some point I'd probably consider getting it just because I haven't played the last two games, but it isn't a necessity for me.

Officially, there is no series other than the xenosaga series. No one owns the right tp use the word "xeno" as part of a title. Squenix owns xenogears, bamco owns xenosaga, Nintendo owns xenoblade and that's all there is to it.
