Here's to hoping the anony-scanner who is doing the Xeno Emissions artbook scans is still around.

How are they coming along? Since no new posts were made in a while I assume he's either busy with college or scanning/hoarding them for a giant post later on (Wishful thinking).

Anyhow, have a couple of reposts /hr/.

Damn, I forgot how much I liked Episode III's designs. Perfect blend of I and II in my opinion. KOS-MOS especially needs to be in some more games, even if just as a bonus character or easter egg or something.

There needs to be a new Xenosaga game. Not an addition to the main series of course, but related to it. Perhaps like Xenogears is related to Xenosaga, only with less nebulous a relation.

xenogears is not related to xenosaga in any way.

There was supposed to be 6 games in the series, actually. But since they didn't sell so well they cut their losses and cut the series at Episode III.

Perhaps they would have sold better if they didn't fag out with the US releases and censor them.

I'm aware of only one censored (removed) scene, in the first game. Were there others?
>> Anonymous

Yup. Though it seems there was only one major scene in Episode I, there are others in the series. From Wiki...

*Spoilers for I and III*

"Episode I dealt with the censorship of one cutscene in the American release of the game. In the cutscene where Albedo confronts MOMO in the Song of Nephilim, numerous changes were made to avoid any possibilities of the title receiving an ESRB M rating. For instance, when MOMO sees Albedo sitting on a chair holding a Kirschwasser and proceeds to snap her arm in half. However, in the American version, Albedo simply drops the Kirschwasser's arm and the sound of a snap is heard. Also, in the Japanese version, Albedo draws out a knife which he uses to cut off his arm and head. In the American version, only the sounds of a knife are heard and it looks as if Albedo is ripping off his limbs. Another scene with sexual connotations was also cut."

"The North American release of the game, however, was criticized for a number of obvious cutscene edits that many felt were damaging to either the atmosphere or overall story of the game. The majority of these edits were for scenes of violence and blood that would have elevated the game beyond the "Teen" rating given by the ESRB to the "Mature" level. This official reason from Namco is puzzling, especially when Episode I is taken into consideration. Episode I featured several scenes with heavy blood flow (for instance, during the Gnosis attack at the beginning of the game, a crewmember is literally pounded into paste by a Gnosis) and it received a "Teen" rating from the ESRB. While the storyline remains identical in both the original Japanese release and the North American versions, the exclusion of certain violent scenes is quite noticeable, especially in a scene midway through the story in which a child reacts to the death of another character by "putting [the blood] back" in the dying individual. In the North American version, the child has nothing in her hands and several shots are shown of an area presumably splattered with blood, but that looks immaculate and clean in this version. Another scene where a character is pierced through the shoulder and leg by a weapon is also completely bloodless, whereas the scene is accompanied by a spray of blood in the Japanese version. The scenes are further ruined by the fact that the sounds for the blood spray was not edited out.

Similar edits were made to both Episodes I and II, particularly involving scenes related to the psychologically disturbed character Albedo, though fans generally agree that they were handled more tactfully than Episode III’s edits."

Wait, wasn't Monolith recently acquired by Nintendo or something? Well, I guess Namco-Bandai probably still has the rights to the series afterall...

Why? Shion is by far the best human in Xenosaga... Hot + cute + green eyes... so WHY?!
>> Anonymous
I like all the characters but I prefer Shion:

106 lbs > 203 lbs (WTF!)
vagina > just weird metal underwear
cute > cool

Hate? I hate Allen, because it is the most pathetic and "possibly" stay with the big prize (Shion deserves better).

Shion is the most vapid heroine to star in a video game - certainly in an RPG. And that includes Yuna.

It takes talent to single-handedly FUBAR the universe. Twice or more.

Nothing beats Yuna as far as vapidity goes. NOTHING.
