I’ve been dying to sit down with a giant sized PS2 JRPG this summer that wasn’t just dot hack games so this is perfect. I’ve only played a large chunk of Episode I and watched Pied Piper so there is still so much left for me to discover and experience!
Finally switched out my cases for Billys so now everything is together and not spread out. I’ve been collecting Saga stuff for over 10 years but only actively started to expand when I learned about proxies. Not pictured are:
* Orange Swimsuit Kos-Mos
* Figma T-Elos
* 1/4 Volks T-Elos (at a painter)
* More tinies
* Choco Kos-Mos Tapestry
* Another Kos-Mos gk kit.
I am working towards the dolls; but, my man focus right now is finally getting the gk kits out of there boxes and displayed. I’ll also be looking at custom models for everyone else since they have no scales figures at all.
I am of course always looking to expand so if you have something I don’t have and want to get rid of it, let me know lol.
I’ve played the Xenoblade trilogy and Xenogears and a few years ago I did play through a large chunk of Episode 1 and loved it. I’ll try to share my experiences as I slowly work my way through the games one by one.
I went in with low expectations but was blown away by the connections to the rest of the Xenosaga trilogy and how it made Ziggy go from a good character to now a great character in my eyes. I’ve only played Xenosaga Episode 1 so far and wanted more insight on the world before going back to 2 and 3.
I doubt we are ever getting a remaster collection so that’s why I actually finally bought a copy. Just did the same with the dot hack series earlier this year too. PS2 is still the king of JRPGs.
I happened to see a video of T-elos's boss fight on YouTube and see KOS-MOS use "W-Fang". But then I find a vid of all of her moves and multiple attacks with different names involve the arm sword thing. I tried looking it up on wikis but for some reason, no one wants to give a description to what this girl be pulling from thin air.
This officially pressed Sony PS2 check disc finally arrived...
Matrix codes SLPS-29005 A0 1 / A1 1 indicate this is the first submission build, dated August 27, 2003.
The final commercial release, delayed twice, is VER 1.03 (A0 3 / A1 3) from October 10, 2003.
Key differences so far :
- modified main executable (slps_290.05)
- system .CNF updated between versions
- Winmerge shows modified OVL overlay files and Xenosaga.0* files
- checksums CRC32, MD5, SHA-1 are different
The data is currently being backed up and analyzed to ensure no sensitive developer information is present before any potential steps are taken.
I want to play the games again, I downloaded the iso, but have no bios for the emulator. Can someone help me so I can play >.<
Sorry for the abrupt question. I just started today to play the first game and I know it's a trilogy so this is only the first 3rd of the story. But I wanted to ask because of the characters I've been introduced to as party members are very hit and miss. Ziggy and Momo seem pretty decent early on and they seem set up to be more tragic and sympathetic. Bit Shino and Kos-Mos are a little insufferable. Kos-Mos is a robot I know, and I'm hoping it's a story where she learns to be more human but the limited exposure hasn't helped. But Shion... just seems like the typical scientist with her head in her work and disconnected from the reality of her situation. Like she's perfectly set up to fear/hate Kos-Mos, she doesn't. Okay... then maybe she could be a bit more stern and pushing back against the military/government about her progress with the project? No she's mostly meek or blasé around them. And then there's the arguments she has about the realians. She's right, I agree with her stance that sentient being deserve rights and dignity. But the other guy isn't wrong either. The team she wants to join is literally playing God to bring them to life, have ultimate control on when and where their life/will ends all while developing them on government money with I'm assuming deadlines. But she pushes back against the other guy while being proven right that they are treated as product by the system that creates them, that their free will can be overwritten when convenient and asks him who is he to play God. And when asked why she doesn't stand by those morals she tucks her head down and says "cause I wad told not to." You are the head of your team on a top priority project. You have the leverage to make a change but just does what she's told.
Rant over.. sorry. I like the sci-fi setting of this game. I'm still early on and just finished Ziggy's introduction segment. It's just a little frustrating that even though I didn't like Xenogears' gameplay I was intrigued by Fei and Citan. I really liked Shulk and his crew. And I liked Rex and Nia from the little I played of 2. So I know I'm not against the Xeno series. But the protagonist of Xenosaga and the face of the series have pushed all the wrong buttons and I want to know if this is something that will have payoff early on, or if I should he trying to ignore her for the sake of enjoying what else the game has to offer?

Please let me know if you have either, as I'm willing to buy them!
