Xenosaga: The Animation story problem
« on: July 10, 2006, 11:08:13 am »
I have play the game & watch the anime. Both the game & the anime has a different storyline. So here's the question, which story is considered as the official storyline of Xenosaga? Is it the game or the anime?

I could have ask in the forums in Xenonation but forgot my password!!!  That was pretty dumb of me to forget my password.

The whole Xenosaga is a non-canon Xenogears anyway, so...

Xenosaga is a prequel to Xenogears. Xenosaga is part of the original plan of Xenogears as a prequel but unfortunately it wasn't approve by Squaresoft.

One could say that it's as close to Xenogears as Superman I is to Superman Returns.

Xenosaga is Xenosaga.  Xenogears is Xenogears.  They share thematic and stylistic similarities, but they are two different storylines.

For those who played the game but didn't watch the anime here's the following differences between the anime & the game.

1.) Virgil died in the Kukai Foundation.

2.) In the anime, Shion has Jr.'s A.G.W.S. & Jr. has Shion's A.G.W.S.

3.) Andrew Cherenkov went MIA after the gnosis attack in Woglinde

4.) Virgil becomes a regular party member until he was killed in the Kukai Foundation.

5.) Shion has no M.W.S.

6.) Shion dive in to KOS-MOS' encephalon inside the Robot Foundation.

7.) The Kirshwasser has a will of its own.

8.) Miyuki wasn't present in the show.

9.) Albedo's A.G.W.S. turn into a gnosis-like creature in the final battle.

10.) Lastly, Jr. knew MOMO before they even met.

Complete the Xenosaga I then use the save file to convert it to Xenosaga II for bonus dungeon & bonus SP.

I can't get Xenosaga I though, as far as I know, it was never released in the UK.

Too bad, Xenosaga I is a cool game. But why is it that Xenosaga I wasn't released in UK?

I'm not entirely sure if it was or not. I'll have to check.

Try to find it as hard as you can. And if you can't find one, try watching the anime instead even though the story is a bit different from the game.
