Holy hell, I cannot believe it's already been over a year since I made the last one... I'm gonna be making a topic of 2050 before I know it! I won't remember what the hell Xenosaga even is but by Jove I'll make that topic.

So to kick things off, the more astute/nerdy of you might have noticed the site hosting all the cool Xeno stuff like a translation of the Episode III Perfect Guide has gone down.

Fear not! More intelligent people than I were prepared for this and have backups of all the files. If you would personally like some of this stuff, I can give you a Dropbox link. if not, me and others will be uploading to this wiki:
http://xeno-underground.net/wiki/

We just started so there isn't much on there but I promise this can be your future resource for all your Xeno supplementary info needs.

Also of interest: A Xenosaga Trilogy Let's Play!

The first one I know of. Plenty of Episode 1 LPs but none for the whole three games. This guy is currently making his way through the trilogy on SomethingAwful and is almost done with Episode 1. Only took him about a year which is pretty good for most LPs there. They're pretty funny guys and most of the commentators are new to the series so you get wonderful "newbie reactions."

Now...without further ado


What a bitch.


I know everyone raves about Crispin Freeman as Albedo and he deserves all the praises and then some, but my favorite villain in Xenosaga was Yuriev and his voice-actor, Keith Szarabajka, is just as good.



Also one of the coolest lines in the series is about Yuriev:
"He's a truly fascinating human being. In order to conquer his fear, he chooses to absorb that fear and become that fear himself."

Also Shion was at her best in terms of hotness and character in Episode 1. Dat ass.

Now...carry on with your Xenosaga opinions. Favorite characters, songs, games, etc..

Probably should just make this the "Xeno Topic" and discuss both Gears and Saga. But then NC would just bitch all the time so nah.
