No. I don't want that. Remakes are for retards. They're not gonna go in and make a perfect Disc 2. They're gonna dumb the whole thing down and oversaturate it with bloom.

I had a dream where my older brother finished playing XG and told me it's the best thing he'd ever done. My brother was kicked out of the house by dad when I was a toddler so we never really bonded. He was never a gamer either. But in the dream he played XG somehow and that gave us a reason to bond once, if only in a dream. Just thought I'd share.

Fuck your meme, Xenosaga was actually completed their trilogy as planned

>>3774192
Wrong. Xenosaga was original six parts and eps 1-3 only cover what was planned for episode 1 and a bit of episode 2. If you watch the original Ep 1 trailer you'll notice that a ton of shit from late ep 2 is in it, for example Jin and Margulis' duel on Old Miltia outside the Zohar chamber.

I would like to see Xenogears get a remake if they can find someone capable of preserving the tone/feel of the original.

Which is probably impossible. I can dream though.

I played Xenogears back in the day. Very cool.

XenoSAGA however was a sloppy mess.

Neither need a remake. The story was trash outside of "I'm ID I mean Evil Fei, lol".

In terms of Xenosaga I would like to see the 1 + 2 edition possibly ported or remastered since these games are now quite dated (though still with their charms). Contrarily 3 still looks incredible today

>>3774462
I'd like someone to finish the fucking fan TL of the DS game.

>>3774260
i would shit my pants if i saw a 24 minute long cutscene of the Gazel Ministry floating in a circle, now fully voiced

some of the scenes really could be dressed up nicely, but I don't think Takahashi is the person to do it, considering how corny and terrible Xenoblade scenes are.

>>3775301
So...you'd actually defecate Xenogears?

Cute daughter.

>>3775301
Xenoblade cinematography and choreography are leaps and bounds above anything in gears

huh, okay, i got the sand ship and walking around the desert getting in and out of the mech, mixed unit battles with on-foot fei fighting sand dudes while citan and bart battle tin robots is really fun. feels like there are a lot of great ideas here, navigating overworld with the sand ship is really great but you can tell how limited this is, shame this didn't get the ff7 budget in the end.

>>3775957
Keep going

>>3775963
lol, i will. was gonna probably put in another two or three hours when i got to the capital city, but the main street crashed my ps2 and the game started displaying garbled visuals. all i had energy for then was replaying the cutscene that played before and then beeline to the hotel to save. ha.

>>3775957
Be sure to wipe!

>>3776017
there's no bathrooms in the hotel

>>3775744
yes, but i don't think it's intentional. it's just that the engine and hardware limitations in Xenogears held it back compared to what we are currently capable of.

>>3776060
Its ok anon, just use the disk the game is on.

>>3774462
Been playing through the Xenosaga series for the first time and just finished episode 2. I'm enjoying the Saga series a lot more than I thought I would. I've known about them for years and all the flack about how cutscene heavy they really were. Its funny, after playing so many modern games, this series cutscenes seem very minimal in comparison.

Either way I'm going to take a break before getting to episode 3 as I hear that one is longer than both the first 2 games so I got nothing else to contribute.

>>3776062
Disagreed, vagrant story has better cinematography than 99% of current games

>>3776211
I don't think 3 is really longer unless you spend a ton of time doing that block mini game. 3 is also the best one

>>3776211
>Its funny, after playing so many modern games, this series cutscenes seem very minimal in comparison.
It's a matter of how much time they take up proportionally. 14 hours of cutscenes doesn't really stand out when a game is 100+ hours. It's a lot different for 10 hours of cutscenes in a 30 hour-long game.

Is that related to the shits?

Ngl GEARS is kinda filtering me a bit with its gameplay. Am I alright to play Saga or will I miss out on some actual good ass fucking references?

>>3781255
Gears is just better as a narrative. None of the games are particularly good or interesting mechanically.

>>3781255
Xenogears is hands down the best game. If you're not enjoying it, you probably won't enjoy the others. Unless of course all you care about is coomer shit, then you will like Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

>>3781255
Gears is hyped by the story alone, the gameplay is fucking shit. Only diehards defend that garbage ass gameplay. Its one of the few games where its just better to watch it on youtube than to play because you gain no satisfaction playing through that awful gameplay.

The problem with Gears is the game was simply unfinished. There's so many issues with the gameplay and I'm not even talking about disk 2 either. Disk 1 was god fucking awful to get through thanks to that shit ass combat and slow as fuck text speed(played it on the original system). Saga's gameplay is at least bearable(until episode 2 but cheats can help with that) and finished.

As for the story, its up for grabs weather you like either better than the other but it tries to be its own thing after failing to be the prequel the dev hoped it'd be so its always been stuck in a weird spot on weather its part of the Xeno series or not. Seriously the more you read up on these game's development the more your head will explode.

>>3781487
>>3781276
>>3781265
yeah it's mostly the gameplay. I'll probably give it another try. It does the weird sci fi thing where it just throws you in the middle of shit and people are using terms and parties like you're suppose to know shit and that always filters me early on but I am interested in Elly though.

Just wanna know how much of a reference Xenosaga will be since I think Fei or whatever is in it.

>>3781617
>Just wanna know how much of a reference Xenosaga will be since I think Fei or whatever is in it.
Its barely connected. I should have mentioned that sooner. The Gears characters(if you can even call them that) you see in Saga might as well just be cameos and look-a-likes as its small scenes that make no references to Gears. The game nor the devs can't decide on weather they want Gears, Saga, Blade, Blade X to be connected. Decades of being wishy-washy with the series pretty much. Like I said, development for the early games went fuck all during development.

For the most part they're all(Gears, Saga, Blade, Blade X) are standalone despite fans wanting them to connect. The real funny part is the pieces are there for them to connect the series, they just don't want to but also want too.

>>3781617
Saga was to be the reboot of the whole of Project Noah as originally intended. If you read Perfect Works, the time period is around the time of humanities tech peak and the Company is what Vector represents.

>>3781652
>>3781626
ah now i remember why i dropped this game, it just drops you on a dumbass ship and doesn't tell you where to go next. man i forgot how guide dang it this fuck is sometimes

>>3781255
Gears has a phenomenal story but nothing interesting gameplay wise. If you want better gameplay just skip to xenoblade subseries

Is it bad that I think Xenogears and Xenoblade 2 are the best games in the series? I think the soundtracks by Mitsuda just elevates them to another level.

He only actually composed a handful of songs on the OST. His main role was being the music director and producer.

Something like

>Because half of them are expected to die before release.

>>3783863
It means the game were shit and unpopular. Who in the right mind would remaster this?
And Tanaka Kunihiko is retired. Do they want to change everyone into Xeno 2/3 style?

I've >>3776211 started playing Saga episode 3 for the first time right now, I'm already loving the revamped battle system. Everything feels like an upgrade after ep2.

>>3783863

>>3784232
How do you reskin shit?

>>3773722 (OP)
>xenosaga HD
simply emulating already works, games actually look fantastic by simply upscaling them in emulators. Of course not much you can do for pre-rendered cutscenes but still, an eventual HD remaster would likely keep them that way too (unless they remake them from scratch or something). Saga 1 in particular feels like early CGI that way

>>3783863
i think that has also to do with the timing, the xenoblade games iirc really started booming after that statement so i guess they took that into consideration at that time. As in, a "market analysis" done now would probably be more favorable
or maybe they think xenosaga 2 would need to be redone from the ground up and it's not worth it idk

>>3784650
Xenoblade's success doesn't guarantee saga's, they are very different in terms of gameplay. In particular, going from the large, involved level designs of the blade games to the copypasted hallways of saga would come as a shock to those unprepared

>>3783863
They interviewed like 20 Japanese people on the streets and said "Would you like more Xenosaga?" and the 20 people just said "Who?" and so they figured nobody like Xenosaga. Ancient Japanese way of doing things.

>>3784619
>simply emulating already works, games actually look fantastic by simply upscaling them in emulators.
?

>>3784954
fix your settings (and fix your pcsx2 version if you haven't, idk if they changed it but for a long time they had an extremely old build as the "latest" stable version) cause my game doesn't have those jaggies. Textures maybe, it has been a while now, but that's also saga 1 so not much you can do there. Plus that's Gaignun office that shows up in like two cutscenes

>>3784959
>Plus that's Gaignun office that shows up in like two cutscenes
It actually shows up quite a bit.

>>3784969
i'm pretty sure it's just a few times in 1 and like once in 2

The three games could be easily one 100hrs long game.Then make one or two more for Episode IV~VI.

>>3781777
Xenogears is the best for me, but Episode III, XCDE and XC2 are tied in second.

>>3785516
That's alot of shit.

Saga 3 is one of the best JRPGs for the PS2. The section that follows that is the one of the high points of the entire franchise, culminating in probably the best point in the franchise. Music related.

It's just too bad you have to suffer through 1 and 2 to get to it for the story to make any sense.

>>3787207
Sadder you must suffer Xeno anything at all.

>KOS-MOS playing the bongos

>>3787207
come on only 2 is a slog, and in some cases i still prefer 1's battle system over 3 (mainly the attacks being on the face buttons and them being "customizable", storm waltz my beloved go ahead make my day sayonara baby)
and even then 2 could be salvaged if they just add aoe moves to make fights not last a gorillion years, i wonder if 1&2 did that

>>3787747
Episode 1 is absolutely a slog. The latter half of the game is almost nothing but protracted dungeon crawls attempting to make up for all the tedious plot dumps in the early game. The combat is also slow as molasses. I know the late 90s/early 00s were kind of the era of overwrought, unskippable attack animations in JRPGs and Episode 1 isn't unique in that regard, but it still makes the game a total pain to play. I can't imagine enjoying this shit on actual hardware with no fast-forward feature. I would probably fall asleep during the Encephelon dive, Song of Nephilim, or the final dungeon.

I semi-recently replayed the game and forgot to get Erde Kaiser. God, what a fucking mistake that was. Some of the later normal battles in the game make Final Fantasy IX's random battles seem quick and succinct.

>>3787993
i can see the problem, you're not using KOS-MOS (X-BUSTER my beloved)
also i used erde kaiser to kinda skip the last few bosses

>>3788011
i can see the problem, you're not using KOS-MOS (X-BUSTER my beloved)
I was probably trying to catch other party members up to her at that point.

>also i used erde kaiser to kinda skip the last few bosses
Well yeah, you and everyone else who said "fuck it" cause they got bored of the combat. Can't blame you or them. It's not particularly fun.

>>3787747
>storm waltz my beloved
Storm Waltz is utterly broken if you give Jr the "damage up at low HP" accessory/skill as it only applies to physical damage and Storm Waltz is the only physical attack all tech.

I liked the story of XC 1 and 2 and most of 3 (the villain organization was kind of shitty).
I really liked the exploration of all three.
I tolerated the combat in XC 1 and 3, hated in XC 2.

Am I likely to enjoy XCX?

Fuck (Saga 3 spoilers)

>>3792986
Suck? Yes, the series does.

Just finished Xenosaga episode 3, what a ride. There was some rough patches(ep2) and questionable moments but all in all, I enjoyed the series.

>>3794517
Episode iv-vi never

>>3794534
Usually when one has medically debilitating dysentery they don't want it again.

>>3794534
So how was all these suppose to connect with gears originally? Blade too I guess. What are the fan theories? A lot of stuff I didn't understand but most of which boils down to me forgetting the plot of Gears since its been a while since I last played it.

>>3794667
It wasnt, it would just be repurposed plot points to avoid copyright lawsuits.

I have a bunch xenosaga VI would end like XCX DE did where chaos would be forced to eradicate the lower domain they reside in while a repurposed zarathustra by shion/allen would jetison them to a new parallel lower domain

Is there a fixed translation patch for Xenogears? Or a script?

>>3794667
Xenosaga was supposed to be a prequel to Gears.
One of the Ormus fleet ships was supposed to be the Eldridge that crashlands on an alien planet quickstarting the plot of Xenogears.

Is it worth buying a Switch 2 just for Xenoblade Chronicles 4?

>>3794667
All is the Zohar...but to break it down. Demo a shit.

>>3794667
Xenosaga is more of a hard reset with a lot of rehashed ideas pulled from Xenogears' scrapped continuity.

Also, Takahashi rips off a lot from Arthur Clarke. That's why he named his company Monolith Soft, after all.

>>3794722
>Also, Takahashi rips off a lot from Arthur Clarke. That's why he named his company Monolith Soft, after all.
Ultraman -> Evangelion -> Xeno
I'm not sure why xenotards keep denying this. It's so obvious. It's a ripoff of a ripoff.

>>3794776
It's not, though. The main source of inspiration for Xeno are Arthur Clarke novels - especially Childhood's End and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The Zohar is literally a knockoff of the Monolith from 2001.

What the fuck is this shit
>attacks before the party can move, dealing 1/2 - 2/3 of every character’s health in one hit
>If you try and heal it off or defend, it‘ll get its slot turn again (you aren’t building boost so you can’t interrupt it’s turn order), and it’ll wear you down faster than you can get it
>if you try and attack to build boost, guess what you don’t get a full boost bar with one round of attacking so you’re killed even faster when it gets its slot again on its second action
>High as fuck defences so you’re never dealing large chunks of damage anyways
>it heals itself for a third of its HP lmao
Man, i’m interested in what’s happening in the game, but so far the gameplay is fucking killing me. The combat is bad at best, and I swear getting dicked around with “go find this person/thing in a maze of similar looking tunnels (that doesn’t have background music) and we’re not going to give you any idea of where that person/thing is” is only funny the first 3 times.

>>3797255
i remember feeling completely filtered the first time cause the slot it "selected" was also the critical hit slot, so his big dick attack basically made me unable to actually fight back cause everyone would either die instantly or almost
i then tried again and the slot was something else so i didn't have much issues, but sadly i don't remember what else i did to actually beat it. I only remember the first try being impossible and the second try actually not being too bad
also, gameplay only gets better if you invest on moves' speed and power, ignore spending points on stats (or rather give it less priority, and even then you pretty much only upgrade EATK and nothing else). You'll eventually unlock more moves and the ability to use Circle moves (the ones you need 6 ap for) as the second move instead of the third (or both as the second and the third, if you have 6 ap), makes the whole thing much smoother

>>3797255
Isn't the gimmick of this fight that you can choose what the boss does by only letting him move on certain turn slots?

Pellegri sex

>>3797299
At the start of the fight it does its big aoe attack, and picks the symbol of the slot wheel for that turn. From that point on, it’ll do the big attack every time it has its turn on that symbol (and do a regular single target attack elsewise. Or heal). And since there’s 4 symbols and four combatants…. Until things get shaken up it means it’ll always do the big attack.
And 2 big attacks will kill a party.
And it takes time to build up boost to disrupt the cycle… so you see the problem

>>3797294
> the slot it "selected" was also the critical hit slot
If you get that RNG you might as well reset unfortunately.

>>3797255
Okay then, now I did the fight again for the fourth time and it just... let me go in front of it, so it only Tremored once at the start, and boosting would only fuck up the order so I could just save those for when it was in killing range.
Idk I don't feel like I did much better than the times where I was wiped effortlessly, it's just like 90% RNG

>>3797601
>it's just like 90% RNG
yeah but luckily it's just that one boss that does it like this. Some other bosses also manipulate rng in some way (or alternatively have weird "act right after <character> turn even if it means acting two turns in a row" mechanics) but all in all i believe that one is still the worst offender in the whole game, and they put it right at the start of the game for some fucking reason

I'm enjoying Xenoblade Chronicles, the wii version I don't like the look of the remake, I like the original art kinda looks like 6th gen vagrant story, would I enjoy gears? I like Xenoblade combat I tried gears some time ago and I liked it but the combat it's a bit slow, is it only combos or is there any skill you just launch or stat customization? I enjoy doing builds

>>3789316
Why are Mary and Shelley pedophiles?

>>3797719
See>>3781487 If you're looking for gameplay out of Gears, look elsewhere. Most of this franchise was spent "trying to get it right" and sadly the Blade series is when they finally got it right, everything before has been ranging from shit to mediocre.

After finishing Saga ep3 I was kind of hoping the Testaments turned out to be Realiens Would have been cooler and made more sense that their mind and personalty got moved to Realien bodies after their original body died. Instead of all this gaining power out of nothing and vanishing into the light stuff

Anon, are you Allen or are you Kevin?

>>3773722 (OP)
I wish they'd do a remake or at least a port of Xenogears but they're too busy milking every drop of FF7

>>3798537
Allen got to spill his nut into Shion eventually, right?

just finished the saga games, i really ended up getting attached to these characters, I'm all melancholy now. At least i know KOS-MOS got into other games but still, episode IV when.
also reloaded the completed save and checked the database, i like that they felt the need to point out MOMO could get pregnant eventually. Though at the same time, the ending implied that Shion, Jr and Allen pretty much left forever to look for lost jerusalem, or at least Shion's database entry did that (unless it's a jap quirk and they just meant that it took a long time), so no Rubeding for momo. Also also, did the "vision" of adult Jr meant he'll also be able to grow up now?

>>3798537
Kevin is a chad thundercock obviously but Allen's isekai protagonist energy eventually won in the end

>>3798716
>you see chief the gnosis and whatever still killed all those people in the end so basically we need to repopulate

>>3798820
Felt the same. You go from not giving a single fuck about about the characters to growing to loving the ever loving shit out of them. Episode 1 was just whatever, episode 2 was like "ok this is kind of cool", then episode 3 I'm at the edge of my seat telling Shion to "come the fuck on". I really do miss these party of space goobers.

I should have read more of the database as I don't remember much however...

>so no Rubeding for momo
Momo is for Ziggy

>>3798578

Jr. and Momo were originally intended to morph into adult body forms in episode 1 but that never came to fruition

>>3798874
>then episode 3 I'm at the edge of my seat telling Shion to "come the fuck on"
to be fair episode 3 Shion was complete fatherless behavior with how she kept lusting after Kevin no matter what he did, outright saying "i was fine with you using me and tricking me as long as i could be by your side"
and i guess Kevin in the end wasn't really evil, just a retarded asshole, but still

Generally not, the side quests you want to focus on is the quest line about the giants, alcamoth night club, the ones that unlock passive skill trees, and the one cutscene that's actually voiced

>>3798820
for me it's the final shots of KOS-MOS, like what the hell why would you do it like that? Like they imply the others got to lost jerusalem in one way or the other but she instead got Kars'd

>>3799320
At least there's hope that KOS-MOS is still out there. ;-;

>>3799393
the database iirc outright says that people like Jin, chaos and even the gnosis themselves also got there. Basically lost jerusalem is heaven, but also a real place chaos told Shion to find. But also, open ended finale so we'll never actually see that. Did you rike it?

Shit rant for shit game.

>>3805271
The one the does not look like shit.

>>3805271
This is what square took from you

>>3805357
Imodium?

>>3805357
Looks painfully generic, the design we got is better. Was she supposed to be a Realian in an earlier draft? Cuz that chick looks like one.

>>3805389
shit taste

>>3805603
shit game, so nothing surprising.

>>3805271
Glasses >>> no glasses
it's just a fact

>>3805357
This is Midori from Xenogears Episode 6.

>>3806039
No, its just a mid character from a mid game.

>>3805271
i'd like xenosaga 2 designs to stay memoryholed please

>>3806661
Its hard to forget a bout of dysentery anon. But then, you'd have to forget Xeno on the whole.

>>3806661
ive been wanting to play xenosaga 3 but I cant find the rom anywhere. It breaks my heart because I slogged through 2 so I could play this...

playing xenogears for the first time lately. I find the plot really hard to follow and improving the mechs is confusing to me but im probably just stupid

>>3807492
if you're playing undubs there's a torrent with a collection of ps2 undubs you can find by just googling it, it's how i played the games myself
and i did cause i read the US versions where censored but in hindsight i feel like the censorship wasn't so bad to warrant going for the undub, still i guess i like the JP voices and i guess i didn't have to deal with voice actors changing game to game

>>3807502
sorry, i meant torrent. my internet is really bad and the direct download always crashes

>>3807517
i said torrent too

>>3807518
oh lol. im stupid

>>3807502
>the US versions where censored
Lack of blood is the only thing I can think of.
Also this famous Albedo scene is censored in all version but in a different way.

>>3808233
also Albedo was an x-man in the jp version of Xenosaga1

>>3808261
That and a cunning linguist.

I played Baten Kaitos for the first time late last year and I think they reused ideas from Xenosaga for it.

>planet earth 'disappears' under the clouds
>they go back in the end
>gnosis is a boss
>The protagonist has the 1 wing to represent incompleteness too.
>Mira was an island that is in flux and disappeared

Idk there was something weirdly xeno like about that game.

I'm retarded and dont own a PC. Retarded boomer not zoomer if you can believe it. Should I just pick up some random prebuilt shit if I only ever want to emulate PS2 on it? Is there a thing that can just plug into a TV. I want to play Xenosaga and all the ps2 shit I missed so bad.

>>3808934
>Should I just pick up some random prebuilt shit if I only ever want to emulate PS2 on it? Is there a thing that can just plug into a TV
i haven't tried one myself but i'm pretty sure any minipc sold for like 150 bucks can easily emulate ps2.

Shion's so beautiful in HD too bad 2x native resolution runs like crap on my laptop, native resolution goes well enough, been playing like 5 hours and it's very cutscene heavy right now I'm my party I have Shion, KOS-MOS and the Virgil guy, does the game get more gameplay heavy now? I actually like the comb system

>>3773733
Xenosaga 2 is considered one.

>>3809177
running like crap might be on the emulator side, make sure you have the latest version of pcsx2 and fiddle with settings cause xenosaga games have some ad hoc fixes hidden under a gorillion menus. Also, if you're really stuck on native resolution, try switching from hardware rendering to software rendering or whatever, that too can fix some slowdowns (but one of the two won't let you change resolution, hence why it's an option if you can't go beyond native resolution anyway)

>does the game get more gameplay heavy now? I actually like the comb system
yeah, you'll basically alternate between gameplay focused sections and cutscene focused sections, and that's all the 3 games in the series

>>3809189
Yeah switched to software renderer last night, oddly enough I tried xeno3 to see how it'd run and ran well enough way better than Xeno1, I'll play later tonight I liked the REsque part escaping from the Gnosis, cool little section

>>3809192
Saga ep1 was just ass to run period. While software rendering was nice, I ran into issues where the game or emulator would crash my GPU. I couldn't even play the card game because it always crashes whenever I go into it. Seemed like I was the only one having this problem until I read someone saying just switch back to native and haven't had crashing since. Still didn't try the card game on native though but yeah ep 2 and 3 ran like butter.

This guy had a hard life.

>>3810614
Well yeah if you emitted a bluish aura around you that killed everybody your life would suck too
