	Xenogears: Where Eternal Paths Cross - Xenosaga Review
		Essentially Xenosaga is a prequel to a somewhat lesser known Squaresoft RPG that released in the shadow of Final Fantasy VII.
		Xenosaga touched on quite a bit of this as well, and also brought into account the affect of psychology and the workings of the mind upon the understanding of the human will to exist and the drive to understand life and afterlife.
		Xenosaga is not a game for little kids to play, there are cerebral concepts that I think would only be best understood by someone with a college level of education in Theology, psychology, literature, and mythology.

	AllRPG.com - Xenosaga - Preview
		Xenosaga is the "spiritual prequel" to the sleeper hit many role-playing fans have come to love.
		Xenosaga was at first speculated to have been a sequel of Xenogears but in actuality the designers of Xenogears decided that they wanted to start fresh, telling the history of the universe and time period Xenogears took place in.
		Xenosaga will feature many cut-scenes that will pass along the storyline to the player, and these will be one of the major parts of the game, so those not satisfied with story driven RPGs should stay away from this one.

	Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Xenosaga Episode III: Also ...
		Xenosaga Episode III is a fitting, if convoluted, end to the cinematic science-fiction role-playing trilogy.
		Monolith Soft's Xenosaga series is noted not only for its wordy German subtitles and lengthy cutscene exposition, but for its hugely complex storyline that's influenced by equal parts science fiction, religion, and myth.
		Fortunately, Xenosaga Episode III manages to wrap things up in dramatic and mostly satisfying fashion for the memorable main cast and the universe that they inhabit, while simultaneously leaving the door open for a continuation.

	List of organizations in Xenosaga
		The Kukai Foundation is a special organization established after the end of the Miltian Conflict, with the sole purpose of subjugating the remains of the U-TIC organization.
		Politically, the U-TIC organization secretly holds influence over many members of the Federation, including a former member of the Contact Subcommittee (S.O.C.E. The name, aside from being an acronym, may also be a pun on eutychianism, a heretical belief set on the blended (human and God) nature of Jesus Christ.
		Xenosaga IandII reveals that Yuriev Industries is being maintained by a group called the Salvator Faction in Dr. Yuriev's "absence." Its infrastructure is still operational; all of Yuriev's inner circle had been waiting for was Dr. Yuriev's reawakening in the body of his "son," Nigredo (aka Gaignun Kukai).

		Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose, released two years later, featured a new graphics style that deviated from the original and a revamped battle system that inadvertently stripped most of the fun from the gameplay.
		Like the games before it, Xenosaga III follows Shion and friends as they attempt to find a way to destroy the Gnosis, a race of seemingly invincible beings that wreck havoc on humanity, once and for all.
		Xenosaga III is clearly tailored to gamers who have completed the first two games and are looking to conclude the series.

	Gaming Illustrated - Xenosaga Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		While combat in Xenosaga is turn-based fare with a new type of control scheme involving combos, its big welcome innovation for the genre is non-random combat during “dungeon” exploration.
		Speaking as a devoted console RPG fan, this is a godsend – in Xenosaga, I no longer had to cringe after moving the characters one step and thus being thrust into yet another repetitive 5 minute battle.
		Xenosaga is not as colorful as Final Fantasy X, but that’s more the result of the setting than the quality.

		Xenosaga is completely 3D and superficially looks more like a Square RGP than it does the PlayStation classic.
		If Xenosaga is any indication, then Japanese game developers aren't yet ready to end their tawdry love affair with the cinematic effects pioneered in games like Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil.
		Xenosaga spins one of the most engaging science fiction tales I've seen in recent years, tackling enormous themes and subjects.

		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.
		The reason was probably because the Xenosaga series in Europe was known mostly by players who were using mod-chips on their consoles and were playing games using illegal copies, and most likely they had already played the second episode by the time it was released in the US.
		Xenosaga I and II was released in Japan on March 30, 2006.

		Xenosaga II was originally released for the Playstation 2 in 2004 in Japan, two years and four months after the first installment of the series.
		Xenosaga II also removes the branching skill trees and unique tech attacks from each individual character and replaces them with a list of universal skill sets that can be unlocked when enough points are earned.
		Xenosaga II does not fail to deliver the staple of the series: an engrossing story, but that story is still open-ended as ever.

		While exploring the areas available in Xenosaga, you may be dismayed to note that there is virtually no musical accompaniment… you get ambient noise instead.

		Xenosaga's music selection seems to be a little smaller than similar games you can find.
		You see several different organizations in the story interact, each knowing different parts of the mystery, and each with its own agenda.
		Also, while Xenosaga is a prequel to Xenogears, I saw little in common except the inclusion of giant robots; so don't worry if you never played Xenogears.

	Review of the game Xenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Now, the gameplay of "Xenosaga" is way more complicated, with a huge variety of tactics available, but it never degrades into choosing the most powerful attack and using it every time - a kind of gameplay that is unfortunately very typical for most modern console-style RPGs.
		The dungeons in "Xenosaga" are perfect in length, with some very entertaining puzzles spread across (my favorite one being the sounds puzzle in Song of Nephilim), and a balanced difficulty.
		If there were less dialogues in "Xenosaga", such stuff would probably disturb no one, but there are a lot of them, and they are unfortunately not good enough for such a cinematic game.

		It's because I like them that I don't want to see them reappear in starring roles, which would pretty much equate to squeezing as much cash as possible out of them at the expense of both the characters and the future games.
		If all the villains and secret organizations and whatnot are just upstarts, it won't be nearly as engaging.
		And about the organization thing, how could there be much of a history to it if there isn't really a history to this newer universe.

		Xenosaga is a classic style RPG with modern capacities that appeals specifically to the hardcore fans of the genre.
		Xenosaga certainly takes full advantage of the medium at hand; it’s amazing they squeezed this much high quality video onto just one disc.
		So in the end Xenosaga is a fairly long, fairly deep, and quite enjoyable RPG in all regards.

		Unbeknownst to her however, many organizations are chasing after her as desperately as they're after her "children." It is obvious in the eyes of these organizations that she plays a large role in the Zohar Project, but what that role is has yet to be confirmed.
		Though she is strong when it comes to acting as a mother to her child, there seem to be some issues that were left unresolved when she was a child.
		Most of her speech was obviously modeled after her role in Xenosaga Episode 1, but some of it was also modeled after her role as Sayo Magdaria in the Christian Arc of Rurouni Kenshin.

		Having not played Xenosaga II, and not remembering the smaller details of Xenosaga such as place names, organizations, minor characters and backstories, jumping into the story of Xenosaga III has me a little lost.
		So far it appears relatively the same as it was in the first Xenosaga (which was enjoyed, so, not a complaint).
		Visually, the characters are back to a nice mix between the wide-eyed anime versions of Xenosaga and the wannabe-realistic versions of Xenosaga II.

	Sky Dive Networks: Xenosaga-Trilogy Review
		Xenosaga is a RPG (role playing game) trilogy for the Playstation 2 which stands out with its unique way of storytelling and gives you the feeling as if you where a part of a huge interactive Sci-Fi/Fantasy movie.
		Originally Xenogears was planned as a sequel for Xenosaga but due to rights and license issues they had to make it a game of its own which is very unfortunate since Xenogears has so far the deepest and most complex storyline in any videogame which covers a time span of more than 5000 years.
		This last episode also shows clearly that the basic theme of the Xenosaga trilogy is pretty much exactly the same as in Xenogears.

		In Xenosaga I you were basically introduced to the characters and plot, in Xenosaga II, the story went a little deeper and was aimed more towards Jr.
		As with all the battles in Xenosaga III, the majority of them are long and drawn out and most of them test your patients and skills.
		Xenosaga III has some of the old, mixed with a little something new and fresh.

		Though the Xenosaga universe had become pretty convoluted with mystery prior to this installment, Episode III manages to resolve just about every remaining loose end you'd want tied up.
		If you've missed the previous two chapters, the barrier of entry to this game is high, but existing Xenosaga fans should get up to speed very quickly.
		If you're looking for some highfalutin space opera and you don't mind setting down your controller for 20 minutes or more at a time, definitely give Episode III a try to see how it all works out in the end.

	Review of the game Xenosaga: Episode III - Also Sprach Zarathustra
		Playing Xenosaga is like reading some ultra-complex novel with supernatural, sci-fi, and detective/mystery elements, all spiced up with fictional history, mythology, and religious ideas.
		It is such a pity that the voice acting rarely reflects the tension of the moment or the power of feelings that the cut scene is supposed to express.
		In many ways, Xenosaga tries too much: its story is over-complicated, and average script and voice acting do little to support it.
