Allen proving that yes, he can protect Shion, when he jumped on that Gnosis and beat it down? (Although, ironically, he had a machine gun in Episode I and protected her then against a Gnosis, too.)

Spoiler:

Is it bad that I sat there and went "IT'S A DAMN GUN, YOU IDIOT, JUST SHOOT IT!" and then he did and I felt vindicated.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's not Ver. 4. That's KOS-MOS Ver. 1.1.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well my bad, it sure looked like version 4 to me.

As for who Doctus is, her name is mentioned in EPIII database, but who knows, could be just another 'code name'.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Im replaying II, man I remember how much I hate II's battle system.. but I really liked the GS Compaigns.. I wish III had them.. I think i was almost done with 3.. had 28hours at abels ark, I guess id have beaten it in 30ish hours.

One thing, anyone else have problems with III's cutscenes? Some of them stutter quite abit. Could be my ps2 though

FELIPE NO

Cool, a thread on XS3.

I'm new in this whole Xenosaga-business, and I'm about three hours into XS3 (thought I might try out the series). I don't know, so far, the game only like a long dialogue, and I don't understand half of what's going on (empires here, armadas there). Jeez.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

wow you are playing episode 3 without having played the first 2 and you are complaining about not understanding anything that is going on?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

hehe, you might want to pick up the first 2.

The first one is only like 9dollars.. 2nd one is about 15 or so. :P

There's nowhere I can't reach.

anyone download fmvs from
BLUE LAGUNA?

Im playing xeno2.. and the cathedral boss is just kill me . . i want to just see the rest of the cutscenes so i can move to 3 again. I got 29-33, but the 34 video says file not found :/

Xenosaga is by far the best game series in the history of mankind. (fact) If you value your sanity, start with Episode 1 and 2, otherwise 3 will steamroll your brain with confusion. You won't understand anything until you're done playing and unlock the whole in-game encyclopedia. But why spend time reading about what happened in the last two games, plus the third when you can just play them and have fun? The saga itself was supposed to be 6 games, but due to problems with staff and development it got cut in half. As a result, Episode 3 does in one game what should have spanned 3, thats alot of information to process, and the best way to prepare yourself is by playing its predecessors.

Actually, to update you on what Guest said:

XenoGEARS was made by Squaresoft at the same time that FF8 was in production. But, Square said--"No more money for Gears! We're giving it to FF8!" So, the second disc of Gears was full of narration with only a few playable parts. At the end of the game, you see: Chapter V.

Well, we got no more XenoGears, but the people who had worked on it at Square had left and formed Monolith--the people who bring you XenoSAGA. As Guest said, it was supposed to be longer, but due to money issues, and personnel changes (one of the main writers went bye-bye), they decided to stop at 3. (I remember speculation that XS3 was actually going to be for the PS3).

Now, legally, they can't call the game XenoGEARS since Square owns the rights to it, nor can they come out and outright say: Yes, they ARE connected--again, for legal issues. But, they can leave hints lying around leaving people to come to their own conclusions.

But, you TRULY need to have some familiarity with the first two games. There are too many references in 3 that don't make sense without it.

FELIPE NO

anyone know other than blue laguna, where i can get the cutscenes from Xeno2? I cannot seem to download anymore from that site.. all i get is 404 - file not found now.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Try now. It's working for me, too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It might not be what you're looking for, but if you're desperate: http://www.youtube.com/user/shokkuweibu Youtube ftw!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So is anyone else buying this or what?

I've got the first Alter KOS-MOS figure, and it's pretty fantastic. This will hopefully be the same way.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wow, thats an awesome looking toy. But as much as I love KOS-MOS I never buy anything more than the game itself. I don't even buy strategy guides anymore, thanks to GameFAQs. Maybe if they made a fully functional, life-size model of KOS-MOS.. I could think of some ways to play with her and buy one. >_>

Most amazing jew boots

Why only KOS-MOS? T-ELOS would be cool, too. Not life-size or fully functional, but cool, anyway.

I was speaking idiomatically.

ya, after pulling my hair out trying to get them from blue laguna.. i just watched them on youtube.. sure the quality wasnt as good.. but least i can start 3 lol

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

WOULD SHE BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND ANATOMICALLY CORRECT?

There *is* a T-ELOS figure, but it's made by Bandai and is only about 6 inches tall. Unfortunately, it's a trading figure, so it was available only through randomness by buying the Xenosaga Legends trading figure series, which was basically Shion, T-ELOS, and multiple versions of KOS-MOS.

The Alter figures are both of a much higher quality and quite a bit larger, but also quite a bit more expensive. so 'eh. I really like the V1 KOS-MOS I bought 7 or so months ago and this should be similarily awesome.

How ya doing, buddy?

Apparently someone listens to Lek's suggestions.

Alter is also doing a T-ELOS figure

Hurrah, for those of you nerdy enough to buy them. Like me

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Heh. I actually like that figure. I might get it myself. It would look so nice in between Auron and my singing hamster.....

Seriously, I do like it...
