It has the in depth story line that hardcore gamers have come to expect from an RPG but seems significantly faster paced than many other turn based games. The great thing about this game is that the controls and battle system are fairly easy to get accustomed to making it easier for newcomers to the genre to become more quickly immersed in the game. The Xenosaga series is destined to be, if not already considered a must play classic.
Definitely worth checking out! Seriously, nostalgia aside There are long cut scenes so get comfortable, but man are they telling an incredible story. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned. Yeah it's a bit dated, but the story and complexity of gameplay leave a lot of options open, it really was an underrated classic that got buried by the bigger releases like FFX. A shame the franchise was cut short, but it's definitely worth playing. Skip to main content.

After stopping at Dock Colony , the Elsa runs into the Cathedral Ship , a planet-sized Gnosis created from the disappeared planet Ariadne and made complete with the Zohar Emulator stolen from the Woglinde. Later, Nephilim appears in Shion's dreams warning her about Andrew Cherenkov's condition, warning that if she doesn't find and save Cherenkov soon, he will die.
Shion and the rest of the party reach the Zohar Emulator facility, Cherenkov is already there and phasing worse. Shion is alarmed and concerned, but Cherenkov snaps at her. The Gnosis was called Gargoyle, assisted by two Oudogogues. Reluctantly, Shion and the others had to fight and eventually kill him. While escaping the Cathedral Ship, Cherenkov mutates into a Gnosis and dies. Shortly before he died, Shion "visited" Cherenkov one final time in his consciousness, where he was sitting on a strange surreal monochrome beach - the Beach of Nothingness.
He told Shion how decades ago, killing was his and other human's sole reason for existence, and how after the wars ended, he was unable to live a normal life. Cherenkov told Shion that he liked it there, and that she would be there soon as well.
Shion, overwhelmed by his death, falls to the floor and cries, weeping in sorrow for him. Shion is concerned that they may transform into Gnosis in the future, and chaos comforts her.
The Cathedral Ship disappears and the team is rescued by the Elsa. The Elsa and the party are rescued by Jr. However, Zohar Emulators are only contain a fraction of the power that is housed by the Original Zohar, trapped on Old Miltia. The Zohar Emulators are also named after Jesus's Apostles.
Eventually, the Galaxy Federation places charges on the Kukai Foundation for the destruction of the Woglinde , due to some manipulation by U-TIC officials and insiders. In order to prove innocence and avoid being framed, Shion leads a dive into KOS-MOS' Encephalon to find her black box, which will prove that the Gnosis were responsible. In the Encephalon, the party relives Shion and Jr. Shion encounters the mysterious girl Nephilim, who formally introduces herself as a "moderator of time".
Shion encounters a mysterious half-human half-Realian in a church named Febronia. The group enters a place known as the "Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility" and Shion's pain, grief, trauma and psychological damage manifests a Gnosis called Tiamat, which is defeated.
Febronia also states that all factions involved must travel to Old Miltia. They promised to eliminate the threat. After awakening her, they were let out of the Encephalon.
Albedo decides to activate the Song of Nephilim , which generates a Gnosis attack around the Kukai Foundation. The evacuation is successful, however, in the confusion surrounding the attack, Albedo kidnaps MOMO and brings her to the Song of Nephilim. At the Song, he murders all of his Kirschwassers and tosses them in his chambers. MOMO finds him sitting comfortably on his "throne" of a beheaded kneeling naked woman statue with a sword in its neck, cradling the corpse of a slain Kirschwasser in his hands, before he snaps her arms and tosses her aside.
Albedo vents to MOMO about how humanity is worthless, and that all human art and culture are simply delusions. He goes on to say how humanity's efforts are a form of terror management, serving as a distraction from the inevitable terror of death and non-existence. To further intimidate MOMO, he uses a knife to saw off his own arm edited from the English-language version of Xenosaga Episode I and made to look as if he rips it off , which he then regenerates.
He then decapitates himself, lets his severed head taunt MOMO, and finally crushes his head underneath one foot before regenerating that too. Shion and the party use a Phase Transfer Cannon to bring the Song into real space. Shion's party enter the Song and defeat Albedo. Afterward, Blue Testament appears and demands that the party travel to Old Miltia.
The Song deactivates, and the Gnosis attack is thwarted. However, Albedo has one last goal to accomplish; using the Y-Data fragments, he summons Proto Merkabah , the space station created by Joachim Mizrahi, in an attempt to destroy Second Miltia and the Kukai Foundation. Albedo methodically destroys the Federation fleet in the region, and prepares to fire on Second Miltia. Inside Proto Merkabah, the party encounters Albedo, who summons a Gnosis called Sophie Peithos to "test" the party and give him time to escape.
Albedo sets Merkabah on a collision course with Second Miltia, which the party stops by breaking the space station into thousands of pieces. However, during re-entry, the Elsa's heat shield begins to disintegrate; KOS-MOS briefly morphs into a powerful being to prevent the Elsa from being destroyed. Wilhelm watching the Compass of Order and Chaos, realizing the chaos ring is moving. While these events are transpiring, Wilhelm stares at his Compass of Order and Chaos , realizing that the chaos ring is finally moving, understanding that his plans are going in full motion.
The player controls a party of up to three characters, one of which represents the group on the map screen. Players progress the story by traversing the areas and fighting various enemies and bosses along the way. Enemies are not encountered randomly; they are placed at select locations on each map. When the player touches an enemy, they will enter a battle.
Status Effects are common in Xenosaga. Characters gain experience points after each battle; when a character obtains a certain amount of points, they level up. Levels measure a character's statistical power, although there are other ways to increase statistics see below. However, Xenosaga introduces several concepts into the battle system.
When attacking an enemy, characters may initiate a string of different attacks using. However, the number of attacks that may be used is determined by the amount of Action Points AP that the character has stored. Characters obtain AP at the start of their turn, but they can also save up to six unused points.

User Info: Renzoruken Renzoruken 13 years ago 2 this game's one disc. How many times have you played through this game? Does this whole game take place on ships? How come stat increasing spells don't seem to work for Shion? Why did the Gnosis want the Zohar emulator?
Tech Support. How do I get Erde Kaiser? How to level up fast?
