Elías HerulleGUEST
Que Cosmos de Xenosaga.
Ramón RodríguezHOST
Sí.
Elías HerulleGUEST
Que yo soy big Xenosaga fan.
Elías HerulleGUEST
O sea, de que huele bacuén, loco.
Elías HerulleGUEST
Xenosaga es de top, Xenosaga es un juegas.
Zach WilkersonHOST
He eventually spins that off into Monolith Soft, which is sort of independent, but associated with Bandai Namco, I think mostly.
Zach WilkersonHOST
Um, and then he makes Xenosaga, which is not technically in the same series as Xenogears, but, um, definitely has some things in common.
Zach WilkersonHOST
I think originally, like-- and again, correct me if I'm wrong here.
Zach WilkersonHOST
Like, originally when he pitched Xenosaga, it was supposed to be episode one of six-
Alana HaguesPANELIST
Mm-hmm
Zach WilkersonHOST
... and Xenogears was essentially, like, episode five.
Alana HaguesPANELIST
Yeah, that's right.
Zach WilkersonHOST
Uh, but, you know, we're talking, like, some Star Wars crap here.
Aidan MoherHOST
That's all you got.
Aidan MoherHOST
And I think the yellow scheme might be like the insight color scheme, but it does kick off with like a pretty nice preview of Xenosaga episode one.
Aidan MoherHOST
Yeah,
Ty SchalterHOST
this is good.
Ty SchalterHOST
So like, I'm, I'm making this up, I'm guessing, but I'm just saying it, it wouldn't surprise me if they, didn't get nearly as big of a release or maybe didn't even get a release of Xenogears.
Aidan MoherHOST
Yeah.
Aidan MoherHOST
And like, even here in this preview for Xenosaga, uh, in the little subhead area, it says available, like it has a Japanese date and then it says spring 03, US, Australia and UK release unconfirmed.
Aidan MoherHOST
and so like in north america of course there were game japanese games that we did get because they were never localized there were few you know rare examples of like localized games we didn't get like terror enigma uh but for the most part we took it for granted especially by this time period that like we were going to just get games they were going to come out maybe it would take a year maybe it would take nine months but we would get them uh but outside of north america we didn't you know, a lot of like other regions didn't have that level of certainty, that privilege of knowing that they were going to get them.
KesterHOST
He didn't think to start setting this up in File 2.
SiobhanHOST
In Xenosaga, we get hints to the protagonist's tragic backstory as early as the first game, but we don't actually find out the full extent until the third one.
SiobhanHOST
You can introduce information like this slowly.
SiobhanHOST
Like, that's something you can do, and they're not taking the opportunity to do it here.
Tristan GallantHOST
It's why I played through all those Final Fantasies.
Tristan GallantHOST
It's why I played through Xenosaga.
Tristan GallantHOST
It's why I played through Tales of Symphonia and Legenia and all of that, why I played through Skies of Arcadia, because I had the time to play those games.
Tristan GallantHOST
I tried to play Skies of Arcadia, like, three or four years ago.
Kelley RyanHOST
Because also I would...
Robert AlbrightPANELIST
You're leaving out Xenosaga?
Kelley RyanHOST
Do what now?
Robert AlbrightPANELIST
You're leaving out Xenosaga.
Robert AlbrightPANELIST
Because those were PlayStation 2.
Kelley RyanHOST
Yeah, well, I guess we can include PlayStation 2.
Ben SaintGUEST
clearly.
Ben SaintGUEST
My question is why not Xenosaga? And that's only my question because those are the only Xeno games that I've played.
Tectonic ImprovGUEST
yeah so uh if it was to if i was to do xeno blade um i would have to play all of the xeno blade games um there are three technically six if you include their expansions right right yeah that's enough xeno saga is three games xeno gears is one game now i would argue however that that xenogears has the most amount of or at least comparable amount of lecture uh wow and uh pomp and circumstance as all three xenosaga games and all six xenoblade games because they're all the same guy uh this this is his original unrefined like uh uh primordial soup or or like a chiseled marble statue idea of what he had in mind and then every single xeno game after that is him just perfect like refining on and even more so we we there is so much crazy shit in xeno gears i promise you that uh i have i have heard xeno gears referred to as the final boss of uh video game analysis so okay just get excited Just get excited.
Tectonic ImprovGUEST
You're going to love it.
IsaiahPANELIST
Have you played Xenogears? I have not played Xenogears.
JamesPANELIST
Okay, have you played Xenosaga 1, 2, and 3? I have not played Xenosaga.
JamesPANELIST
You need...
JamesPANELIST
Those are like...
CasenHOST
That makes sense.
CasenHOST
Also, a bunch of voice actors from this game were in Xenosaga.
CasenHOST
They were voices from Xenosaga.
CasenHOST
And the reason I even looked this up is because I met Nooj, right? And Nooj, I thought he sounded just like Gene from Xenosaga.
CasenHOST
And I was like, sick.
CasenHOST
So I type his name, different voice actor.
CasenHOST
But a bunch of other voice actors, including the girl who voiced the main character from Xenosaga, Shion, is in this game as well.
CasenHOST
And then Shion voices, I can't remember the character it was, but a bunch of Xenosaga voices are in this game.
Trevor StrunkGUEST
Just doing the podcast mainly.
Trevor StrunkGUEST
I've been, I think probably since we talked, I've gone through most of the Xenosaga games with DLSC, and that's been fun.
Trevor StrunkGUEST
Hell yeah.
Trevor StrunkGUEST
I feel like it's been forever since I've seen you all, but also not so long since I see you all online a lot.
