The combat system all about guarding for the first few turns to build up stock so you can combo.
No shops.

Can fail sidequests and lock you out of good stuff

Namco fucked over the staff and rushed whole thing, XS1 was supposed to be one big fat game but they had ton of development issues and battle engine only got ironed out like few months before release, as result XS2 is pretty much XG disk 2.
DS and XS3 development went smooth and fixed whatever issues but at this point they decided to move away from Bandai Namco.

Squaresoft, now SE, still behaves like a bunch of fratboys, they are creative but management is terrible. Namco stopped giving a shit fast despite XS success due Bandai merger and changes on management, then NOA almost fuck everything up because they hate RPGs.

Really amusing given that XB wasn't supposed to be a xeno entry at all, Iwata suggested the name to honor dev previous works and shit went downhill after that. At least Perfect Works finally going be a thing.

>>23841434
It is so unlike your typical JRPG. You can't do the kind of upgrades you want and get new toys and have side quests. Plus the story is kind of disconjoined and you just go to like mystery places in the past.

That in the battle system is boring and most character designs were changed to be worse. I was a huge fan of Treasure of the Rusrad, XS1, and XG and downright despised playing XS2.

I loved 3 and, for what it's worth, the rest of the entries in the series. XBs

Xenogears was supposed to be some big epic sprawling 12 games or so, it obviously got gutted due production issues. Saga is another attempt from a different point on timeline but again production issues forced staff to wrap up everything in 2 and a half game.

Xenoblade started development as some sort of unrelated game at least at first, fast forward to XB3 and whole crap is connected to xenosaga, more specific lost Jerusalem stuff.

Now on namco they had ton of development and management issues on top of bandai-namco merger, after baten kaitos they moved to Nintendo thanks to some industry connections, and nintendo own whole studio despite common misconception.

If they had stayed under Bamco, or went to Sony instead Takahashi would have long since retired in shame after Monado 1, when it had the same exact production problems as Xenosaga and Sony would have killed them in their JP studios purge.
Similar outcome if they went independent or if Sega had purchased them.

Remember this is a typical thing for Namcot. If you go back to the early '90s The original Tales of Phantasia was supposed to be a huge game with angels and two worlds and spaceships and stuff.

Namcot shat on the writer so half the original team was so pissed off they left and form their own company under Enix. Look up the hole Wolf Team vs Tri Ace thing.

It's pretty well known that Namcot nearly self-sabotages their own IPs because the admins want to control everything. I think they are black company to boot.

IIRC, it was initially 6 Xenosaga games planned, remixing Xenogears' basic outline and refining and expanding upon it.

>Soraya Saga recalls in 2010, when asked how she felt about starting the Xenosaga series, "We missed Xenogears so much but overall Xenosaga seemed a fresh start full of hope." Tetsuya Takahashi stated in an interview with GameSpot in 2001 that "Xenogears ended up differently from how I envisioned it. So we [Monolith Soft] have decided to hit the reset button and start all over again with a science-fiction [story], which will be presented through a series of episodes encompassing the beginning to the end of the universe."

>"There will be six episodes planned in all, all of which are divided into three major parts. I already have the story plotted until the middle of episode five in my mind, but certain ideas may be perceived as old-fashioned as time goes, so we'll try to be flexible to changes."
- Tetsuya Takahashi (Interview with GameSpot, Jun 8, 2001)

Initially, the rough idea presented by a superfan would have looked something like this:
>>
File: xenosaga3parts6.gif (9 KB, 680x192)
9 KB GIF
>>23874078
But as development played out, Monolith Soft realized they wouldn't be able to make as grand a game as they hoped to fully cover each Episode, and thus began breaking it down into more manageable parts. They stop referring to the series only being "6 games" long, and instead change tack and state they would make as many games as necessary to complete the story.

-As a result, XS1 was only about 20% or so of Part 1; not even half of what they aimed for. When aligned with events in Xenogears, XS1 ends around the point when Fei and co escape the Goliath Factory and arrives at Aquvy. In XS1, Shion and co escape Proto-Merkabah and arrive at 2nd Militia.
-XS2's story was even shorter than XS1 in what it adapted from Xenogears. In XG, it starts from escaping Goliath and ending with fighting Inquisitor Stein. In XS2, it starts from escaping Proto-Merkabah and fighting Sergius XVI.

At this point, Monolith Soft hadn't even managed to complete their original Episode 1, and they were now having troubles of all kinds. In order to try and cover some of the XG content they were adapting, they chose to release two shorts.

- XS: A Missing Year adapts the XG part starting from Inquisitor Stein and ending after Billy's Arc.
- XS: Pied Piper directly follows XS: AMY, but is barely into the Part 2 of the 1st part of the Trilogy.

At this point, the superfan's chart linked shows how much of Part 1 of the Trilogy was made up to this point. As the same superfan puts it, XS 1-3 + AMY and PP ended up only finishing Part 1 of their planned XS setting, which was supposed to have been an expanded remix of Xenogears' story.
- XS3 adapts XG's story starting from the Solaris Arc near the end of Disc 1, and races for the ending where we see Kadomony and the land of Genesis, which in XS3, is the final scene of KOS-MOS and Lost Jerusalem.

Ultimately, as everyone knows, the deal with Namco for 3 more games was cancelled, and Monolith Soft was never able to secure enough funding and a publisher to complete 3 more games, which would have been new story territory. It's especially unfortunate as it's been mentioned by former staff that Monolith had just finally hit their stride with XS3, having a good blend of gameplay mechanics, action, and CG character designs much better than XS1 and XS2, and a mature engine to work with.

Now that they had adapted the essence of Xenogears, they wanted to expand the setting further, including merging elements of Xenogears more directly and taking the background lore and expand on it. In addition, Takahashi himself said he already had a grand finale planned, having worked the story and setting backwards.

Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be, and the last we'd ever hear of Xenosaga was the slim possibility of a Remake/Remaster, which would have moved everything from XS1 and XS2 over to match XS3 in mechanics, gameplay, visual design, and styling. But once again, Monolith Soft couldn't get investors, Namco wasn't willing to take the risk, and Takahashi himself had since moved on to what would become Xenoblade. Personally, it'd be interesting to see how extensive the redesigns would have been for a Remastered/Remade XS1 and XS2, on then next-gen hardware (the last comments on the possibility of such was back in 2018).

Yeah if you get her in XB 2 she has these bright magenta particle beams or whatever that exude from her all over. Those are not included in this statue.
>>
>>23876670
This is so far removed from the general aesthetic of the series it makes me sick.
>>
So what is the announcement?

Does anyone know the date on that?
>>
>>23877017
Don’t look up the others for your sanity sake anon. One is close, but then shits it.
>>
>>23877017
What do you expect from AI?
>>
>>23877015
I'd imagine they'd be kind of hard to recreate on a physical model.
>>
>>23878049
That's not true at all. Many model kits and figures have clear plastic parts that one snap where they need to be to look like they do in the media they represent.
>>
>>23878497
In the media they tend to float in front of the weapon emitting them, though.
>>
>>23878048
And to think there are indies out there trying to make it work
>>
>>23878048
If its remain in 2.5 and it’s done perfectly by AI…will you play it?
>>
>>23879349
I wish they wouldn't do that.
>>
>Pop for maybe 10 minutes ingame then get disposed
>Still get bundled with KOSMOS on everything else
>>
>>23883061
Context?
>>
>>23883191
Not that anon, but she barely barely gets any screentime and yet she's associated with KosMos much as Joker is to Batman.

Sega prize even did a 2 pack of them in the mid 00s that I got ahold of back then.
>>
>>23883191
Play the game.

I was asking more about the everything else part.

A shit anon, saved you the pain.

>>23889581
At least cite what the everything else is so I'll know what to avoid.
>>
>>23883213
Tbf despite her rather small contribution she is a vital part of who KosMos actually is.

>>23889872
Any other media that Kosmos appears in like Xenoblade or Project X Zone, T-Elos usually appears alongside her.
>>
>>23890086
Well, no shit since she is Mary Magdalene cyborg corpse. and technically KOSMOS replacement, quite important for lore reasons but still get treated like usual dark version of whatever character.
>>
>>23874893
Its only in a DLC though.
>>
>>23890086
>Kosmos appears in [...] Xenoblade
HOW?!
>>
>>23890100
>cyborg corpse
Nigga how, Xeno takes place in the far future how tf did they get an ancient ass corpse, specially considering how a certain planet got "lost" aka btfo'd
>>
>>23891327
She and T-Elos are there practically as a fun little easter egg. Theres no indepth explanation connecting her to Xenosaga, shes just one of many Blades.
>>
>>23891398
One of party members is technically a Jesus, but well lot of concepts are plot relevant, specially compared to... pretty much everything, even megaten just scratch the surface and avoid Jesus.
>>
>>23891587
I think that's the big thing that makes Xeno stand out, rather than use big ideas and religious themes as set-dressing or inspiration it really goes balls deep into them. Or in Saga's case, quite literally into them.
>>23891327
A non-canon appearance as a blade, a thing in XB2's world. Often sapient pokemon bound to the user upon awakening, Pyra and Mythra are one for example. The singular was not a typo. All the major blades with unique designs and mechanics get their own side quests.
>>
>>23891327
KOS MOS and T-Elos appear in 2 as blades. They are most likely a fun easter eggs, but the artbook do give them some lore.
>>
>>23891785
>>23891885
Sounds more like blades named after them, which I suspect does not make the blades actually them.

No, it's very much them. It's just not considered a canonical appearance to XS or XB.
>>
>>23893287
They are canon to 2's story, according to blade's wiki anyway.
>According to CHOCO in Xenoblade 2: Official Artworks, at some point prior to the events of Torna ~ The Golden Country, KOS-MOS and T-elos were the Blades of a Driver who attempted to climb the World Tree, but failed and died.

T elos Is her body

Kos Mos Is her soul

Bitch please. You can't pretend that it's better just because it's old. I'll give you that PSO was really fun in its day, but PO aside from maybe 4 is yet another Dragon Quest clone but adds Star Trek cues much like Star Ocean.

In fact if we're talking about older games, Alshark from 1991 as much more to offer than any PO. I say this from experience.

Messiah purseowner is just a generic messianic figure, it don't really represent anything in specific.

Strange how the one with the soul is devoid of emotion and the one without the soul shows all the attributes of a personality.

It's just some anon that doesn't give any proper critique of the Xeno series or decide to talk to anybody on a adult scale regarding his view.

Just types the same thing over and over without any details. Just ignore them

Meanwhile I got a friend for my Kos Mos. More to come.

Oh God the cursed MK III with the speeder bike from XS II.

>>23901578
My take is Kevin left prior to events creating her personality core, and without all the data from Wilhelm. Added to that it was very early in micro resource AI development so she's kinda clunky and can't even learn to form a personality even with time. T-elos is the upgrade but ionno why she's so wimpy in comparison despite being an upgrade.
>>
>>23901949
Jesus aren't figma kosmos like grail rarity
>>
>>23900119
Probably. That English VA will probably be replaced by the next time KOS-MOS shows up.

They announced Switch 2 updates for all 3 XB games today.
XB1's already out.

and a another Xenoblade got announced

>>23902401
Anon every entry in this franchise so far is either sci-fi or pretending to be technofantasy only to reveal it's actually sci-fi.
>>
>>23902401
The way they describe the magic-causing balls is almost dead on how core crystals in XB2 function beyond not summoning a sentient being along with it.
There's also this thing. It looks to me like it crashed up through the earth from below rather than an impact crater from something crashing down into it. Given that we appear to be on the inside of a sphere, pretty good chance this is a space colony of some kind and that's the equivalent of Babel Tower for this story, probably from the not-Eldridge that collided or something similar.
>>
>>23902589
It do indeed look like the Eldridge/Durandal nose cone. Was there a colony ship in XBX? I never played that one.
>>
>>23902401
Every Xenosaga project is more generic than the last. Genesis looks so nonspecific it might as well be a tales game

Nta, but so the eldrich smashed through Michtam or Eden II then we are seeing the beginning of the Zeobum civilization as they lived inside Eden II?
>>
>>23904239
I do not think people are suggesting it's intended to be the same planet so much as it's a striking similarity, and possible suggestion that this is in fact an object in space that a ship could collide with in the first place.
