I just beat the game. Last two bosses were more than a breeze. it was like I was playing on very easy.

I used Momo's Gold Crown. Then had her boost with Blood Dancer and hit them with Erde Kaiser Sigma and follow it up with Kos-Mos using Erde Kaiser Sigma after she too boosted with Blood Dancer.

2 hits on both bosses and I won.

I'm used to final bosses being difficult even at high levels so I was a little surprised. Did I get too strong? I'd say the process to get Erde Kaiser Sigma was much more challenging.

Am I softlocked? The DOMO Carrier has been obliterating me for the last three or so days. Do all the robots just drop scrap metals? I transferred Life Shot to Shion but i am out of healing items. Any strategies on how to whoop its ass? What levels would be optimum? Just a tad frustrated rn. And yes ik your supposed to turn the boost so the Carrier cannot copy the effects into its attack but still jeez louise

EDIT: I beat him, thanks for the help!!

...warn the others that Yuriev is able to take over his body?

I thought he had some kind of link with Jr that let them communicate telepathically. In Ep.1 Jr talks about how he has to be careful to not send Gaignun thoughts he didn't want to send. So it seems trivial for Gaignun to warn Jr. once he regained control of his body at the end of II.

And furthermore, there's a bunch of time between II and III where Gaignun is back in control of his body, he's having video comms with Mary/Shelley and the others on the Durandal at the start of III, and at no point did he warn anyone, only for them to all get taken by surprise when Yuriev uses him to invade the Durandal later in III.

Hello,

You see, I just finished playing Xenogears and I love it. I wanna move to Xenosaga now next. But I am faced with a problem: how accurate is Xenosaga emulated on the PS2?

You see, for this game I am thinking about buying a PS2 to play my games, because I want to experience a true and accurate representation of Xenosaga. But I fear that if I go search online for accuracy posts I may get spoiled on the story and content of the games. So this is why I want to ask you all:

How accurate is Xenosaga emulated on the PC? Are there any parts of Xenosaga on PCSX2 that differ from the original PS2 version? Please no spoilers.

I know nothing about xenosaga but I have just seen it in a store. Is this a good price?

From what I understand, its an issue with the save image file being too large? How did they not check that out?

EDIT: Well, thats what I get for believing what I read online! I read that it happens on orginal hardware as well. Thanks for informing me everyone!

I’ve been having a hard time deciphering the text on the song of nephilim model from xenosaga episode 1. I’m getting it tattoo’d so I can just nix the text but I’m wondering if anyone actually knows? Is it legible? My guess would be religious sayings in german by the shape but hopefully someone can help me. 😭

Yes, from 2004 Vodafone, ported to windows, emulated back onto a 2024 Android. This is my first playthrough of the game. I've played XS1 and watched XS2.

If anyone wants to play this game, I honestly think this is the way.

Part 6 of the Xenosaga Episode III first playthrough goes live at 6:30 PM CST for 3 hours

We’re still on Michtam, picking up right after Canaan’s sacrifice and heading deeper into the planet.

Is there a chance, a hope that Xenosaga remastered/remake or episode IV will be announce?

Been starting my play from Episode I - Episode III since the start of 2024 and I've been loving JRPG ever since. I love the gameplay, love the cast and ESPECIALLY love the story. I wish there would be a lot of people who would know and talk about Xenosaga in the same length of Xenoblade❤️

Xenosaga has been in my special place when it comes to JRPG and I would love to see it continues, added to new ports or remake the game again😭

Hello my fellow fans and peers. I was a big xenogears fan, but now I'm 42 years old and too tired af to play games, so trying to be selective in my gaming. Would it be anathema to just watch a play through for XS Ep1? then play EP2/3? I keep hearing how awesome this series is, but I don't know if I can muster time/energy given the ep1 at times could be a grind. Thanks!

Recently gotten into painting garage kits and here are the Saga ones I’ve done! I really wish I could go back and fix their eyes as I’ve gotten much better at them. Glued the heads on though. 2 down, 7 to go.

Working on some Nippon Ichi kits now. I think I’ll paint one of the E.S. kits after.

With Sony seemingly moving toward a disc-less future, I’ve started thinking more about how important physical PS1 and PS2 games may become as pieces of gaming history.
Xenosaga is one of the series I especially want to preserve.

They did just add Momo to one of the games, no?? could it be….. A TRILOGY REMASTER/PORT???

edit: remaster being very generous. i know they’re not going to remake it (at least not before xenogears) or upgrade it substantially; just give it wide screen and higher quality audio & visuals.

Don't take this as a rip on Episode 1. It was AWESOME. But can I just get some clarity on if the final boss was supposed to be difficult, or just a narrative boss to transition into Episode II? Albedo was much more annoying than the final boss by far.

I did it with MOMO and Chaos in the back using Cataclysm with 60+ EP, KOS-MOS in the front with high-ish HP, fire coat, and physical defense skills, using the railgun weapon/R-Dragon to deal out damage. That all was very needed for the FIRST boss. The second boss...I felt really bad about. I really feel like I stun locked it so badly that I accidentally cheesed it. It literally had ONE turn and that was just because I had to take the first turn to use HP and EP items. After that, I just rode out Cataclysm literally until it was over.

So my question is, did I screw up what was supposed to be a good boss? Or is it just meant to be that way and the boss is known to be generally easier?

Holy haul bot-man 🙄😂

So I found out this game has optional bosses but I can't find them .

Help??

\Spoilers are hidden behind the tag as much as possible.*

Xenosaga wouldn't be a well-balanced story without some playful or humorous moments to offset the trauma and tragedy. Other fandoms also use this tactic. You see this a few times throughout the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV show.

But I cannot help but find multiple instances in Xenosaga that are unintentionally funny, at least to me anyway.

In no particular order...

• Andrew Cherenkov is the worst person imaginable to assign to an undercover mission. He's a terrible liar, acts like a jerk to the Woglinde crew, and is wildly mentally unstable. Prime example of The Man Who Couldn't Spy: His phone goes off immediately following his public beratement of Shion. Rather than discreetly take the call, he huffs, "Argh! Who's calling me!" loud enough for the whole bridge to hear. And who does he think is calling him? Then he takes the call over a giant video monitor.
• In the dock colony scene that could best be described as "call an ambulance, but not for me", his inability to lie is even funnier: "I, uh, got cornered by some street punks. But they started fighting among themselves and I, uh, ran away." I can almost imagine the voice actor trying not to laugh while delivering the line.
• EDITED/ADDED: Cherenkov aiming a loaded gun at a sleeping KOS-MOS, then breathing heavily makes it look like we're going to see a recreation of that scene from End of Evangelion. It doesn't help that Shion wanders in at that exact moment (completely nonchalant about the fact that there's a gun pointed at her) and asks what he's doing: "I was just looking at her." Shion: "At KOS-MOS? With a gun in your hand?" I mean, better than something else in his hand, I guess? Cherenkov: "Uh, yeah. It's, uh, a bad habit." And then he scratches his head with the loaded gun. I wonder if Margulis ever thought to himself, "Maybe I should have just left this guy on Ariadne."
• Red Testament giving Cherenkov the activation device the night KOS-MOS goes berserk. We see a wisp of blue hair poking out from the hood. Kevin isn't quite as bad at covert operations as Cherenkov, but the hair is a laughably obvious giveaway.
• Wilhelm must have decided to assemble the biggest assholes in the universe as his Testaments. There's Black/Voyager, a cyberterrorist and child murderer; White/Albedo, a guy who is batshit insane (and has rape-y vibes), Red/Kevin, the most manipulative boyfriend ever; and Blue/Virgil, a guy who is totally comfortable talking about eating people. And they're all stuck with each other, a very fitting eternity. Someone else must have picked up on this, because they wrote a very funny one-shot fanfiction where all the Testaments are roommates who hate each other.
