  RPGFan Soundtracks - Xenosaga OST
Xenosaga would make a great addition to to any game music fan's soundtrack collection, and for those who lean more towards classical and orchestrated arrangements, then it's a must.
Now, with the Xenosaga OST, I have to change my view once more, for with the release of this soundtrack, Yasunori Mitsuda has proven that he is not only capable, but is also accomplished at experimenting and composing for a large orchestra.
Xenosaga has a more "epic" soundtrack that has more in common with an action movie score, or soundtrack from a game like Metal Gear Solid, than a normal classic RPG OST.

 Xenosaga Original Soundtrack : SoundtrackCentral.com
I was not so interested in hearing Xenosaga at first, but out of a remaining respect for Yasunori Mitsuda from his Chrono Trigger days and a hope that such a big-name title might somewhat live up to at least some of its expectations, I gave it a try.
Xenosaga is not unlike other RPG OSTs in its mix of live orchestral tracks with synth tracks.
Xenosaga may not have the hummable character and town themes or ultra-rocking battle themes that are staples of classic RPGs, but what it lacks it makes up for in new ways.

 Xenosaga - Review
In the case of Xenosaga, it's neither pompous arrogance nor disillusionment, it's the precise truth.
Xenogears was notorious for the scope of its story, but Xenosaga takes a different approach, instead focusing on setting up all the elements of the series perfectly for the future episodes of the series to decorticate and delve into.
And to my recollection, Xenosaga is also the only RPG to be set entirely in outer-space in the distant future.

 List of minor characters in Xenosaga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the TV Asahi anime Xenosaga: The Animation a lone Kirschwasser, who was Albedo's "personal assistant" Realian temporarily escaped from his custody and stowed away onboard the Federation cruiser Woglinde disguised as a 100-series Realian.
Writings released by former Xenosaga writer Soraya Saga revealed that in the original version of Episode II before her script was modified by Monolith's new team of editors, an adult Citrine makes a brief appearance in the game's present-day timeframe where she reunites with her fellow U.R.T.V.s, Gaignun (Nigredo) and a now physically mature Jr.
In the TV Asahi anime Xenosaga: The Animation, a slightly re-imagined retelling of the events of Episode I, a single Kirschwasser appeared as a fairly major recurring character.

A cellphone based game titled Xenosaga: Pied Piper has been released in Japan and a Nintendo DS game is also said to be in the works.
Many believed that the artwork in Xenosaga was not quite up to par with expectations, with the characters often suffering from what some call the "glass eyes" phenomenon that poorly-drawn anime suffers from.

 Xenosaga - Reviews - Stratos Group
Xenosaga Episode 1: Dur Wille Zur Macht is the portentous (and somewhat pretentious) title of what is supposedly going to be a six-part series spanning multiple consoles and many years of both real-world and game-time.
The most talked-about aspect of Xenosaga is its reliance on cutscenes to tell the story, and, indeed, your patience for sometimes interminably long periods of non-interactivity will largely determine your ability to enjoy the game.
Xenosaga Episode I has a middle, but the beginning is a near-future cutscene that the game never even bothers to explain, while the ending seems less like an ending than the beginning of a lacuna between chapters.

Xenosaga: Pied Piper, a 3 chapter-long cellphone-based game depicting the history of cyborg "Ziggurat 8" 100 years before the start of Episode I, was released in Japan in July 2004.
Xenosaga I and II is not an exact retelling of the previous two games; some minor changes have been made to the storyline of the game without changing the pre-existing elements which the first games have already laid out.

Xenosaga?s complexity of plot and character rivals that of a good, hard, science-fiction novel or the best anime series available?here, the hyperbolic story is the star.

While she is an important character in all three episodes, Febronia is conspicuously absent from the TV Asahi animated adaptation of Episode I entitled Xenosaga: The Animation, save a half-second long cameo at Virgil's death.
In Xenosaga Episode I, Helmer was in trouble with the Galaxy Federation when an Ormus/U-TIC insider in the Federation helped hatch a plot that framed both Second Miltia (Helmer's planet) and the Kukai Foundation for the destruction of the Woglinde.

I will say that while this game wants to be a movie and though game cutscenes have come a long ways over the years it still is light years away from its cinematic parents.
Supposedly XenoSaga was this deep intricate RPG with a mature plot and scope, but I didn't see any of that when I played.
Maybe it would've helped if XenoSaga I didn't come across as a children's book that looked at a Stephen King novel for a few buzzwords and a plot point or two to create the illusion of sophistication.

The Durandal was named after the sword Durandal, the legendary blade wielded by Roland, one of King Charlemange's generals from medieval France, and "Gaignun" was the name of his horse.
In the anime Xenosaga: The Animation, it was commanded by Pellegri during an attack on the Elsa in hyperspace.
It has extensive shielding (As commented by Rubedo when the Durandal attacked it in said hyperspace.) The length of the vessel is unknown, although it is smaller than the Durandal and quite a bit larger than the Elsa.

 Xenosaga
Mitsuda's latest score, for Xenosaga, the prequel to the wonderful Xenogears, is without a doubt, his best work yet.
First and foremost, Xenosaga is a modern score for a modern, sci-fi story, and it's reliance on synth should come as no surprise, but what is surprising is that the score is prerecorded, with no (or at least extremely little) synthesis coming from the playstation itself, but rather coming from the studio synthesisers of Mr.
Xenosaga could easily impress those accustomed to the usual mediocre music that accompanies most video games, but the far more wonderful fact is that the music goes beyond being excellent in its genre, and it is something that can be recommended to fans of all types of soundtracks.

The project was conceived by me(jetfuel) as a way to play the game early, to practice some Japanese before leaving to study in Tokyo, to avoid potentially bad English localization, and most of all to help Xeno fans around the world enjoy this fine game in a language more familiar to them than Japanese.
In the weeks preceding the game's Japanese release, several other fans came out of the Xeno web woodwork to lend their talents, making the project very much a group effort; their names and contributions can be found in the credits section to follow.
In this era, the sanctity of humanity is threatened by a mysterious existence known as the "Gnosis".

 IGN Boards - Xenosaga Questions for Discussion (Spoilers)
I'd be disappointed if they used 3 or 4 games to expand the pre-planet story, and then skipped 10,000 years ahead and not expand on the stories of the various eras on the planet.
Episodes 1 and 2 probably could've been better (mainly the acting, but then, the acting wasn't spectacular in the other 3), but whether they add to or take away from the integrity of the original trilogy is open to opinion.
If they can pull something like that out of an area that was barely mentioned in the original game, imagine what they could do with some of the things we know a little bit more about...
