THE STORY OF XENOSAGA SO FAR

In year 200X An archaeological scientist discovered the Zohar. Around 2600 years later, Technology has advanced almost to the point of magic. Joachim Mizrahi made a Zohar Emulator and the gnosis were released. Many Emulators were made. Years later, U.R.T.V’s were made to combat U-DO, a space-time anomaly of unpresidented power. In the same period a war broke out between the Realians and Humans, The cause is thought to be The Song of Nephilim which controlled the minds of the relians. A realian, named Cannan and a human called Chaos(I’ll get to his real name later) boarded the E.S. Asher to combat the infected realians. The E.S Asher was destroyed by infected realians piloting mechs. Jin Uzuki however saved them and joined the party. Jin fought with Margulis, head of the U-TIC organization, and almost lost. Shortly after, the U.R.T.V’s linked with U-DO. Many were destroyed and unit number 667 ,a la albedo, went crazy. Eleven years later, Prototype KOS-MOS was made by the hands of Shion Uzuki and Keven, however the U-TIC organization invaded the lab and KOS-MOS malfunctioned. KOS-MOS killed everyone, including Keven, exept Shion and Allen, Shion shot KOS-MOS in the head and killed her. Keven was Shion’s Fiance. Two years later, The KOS-MOS project was almost re-completed aboard the Woglinde. Then the Gnosis attacked, killed most of the crew, once again, Shion and Allen a longh with the Captain were spared. Also a lietinnet was spared, his name was Virgil. They all would’ve died if KOS-MOS didn’t awaken and activated thehilbert effect, allowing the gnosis to be destroyed. KOS-MOS had to take Virgil out to save the pod’s. They then escaped from the Woglinde. The Elsa Crew found them and picked them up. They met Chaos, Captain Mathews, Hammer, who was the techinacal wizard and Tony, The pilot. At the same time, Cyborg Ziggurat 8, was hired to save the 100 series realian MOMO on the U-TIC base. He eventually found MOMO. They needed to fight a bunch of mechs to get out. MOMO used the Hilbert effect to lower the weapon potential of the mechs and defeated them. Then Margulis attacked and they barely won. They had to enteer the UMN network to get out. The Elsa detected them while they were in the UMN network to get to the durandal, And joined them. They had to destroy the mechs at the source, a spider like carrier. They destroyed it. Then the U-TIC attacked the durandal. The gang wasn’t on it though). Jr. Had to fight them off by going into the bridge and destroying a giant mech enemy. They did. The Elsa crew stopped by the dack colony then was swallowed by a giant gnosis called the cathederal ship. They got out, but they had to kill the captain of the Woglinde. They boarded the Durandal, and met Jr. The Durandal was persecuted of the destruction of the Woglinde. They dived into the Encephalon divice inside KOS-MOS’s mind in order to find proof of innocence. They explored and met Nephilim, a girl who appeared in many of Shion’s visions. They learned of some of the coming events in the future. Later on after they came out, the song of Nephilim played, and Gnosis overtook the Durandal. They saved a lot of people and destroy Gigas, a dangerous Gnosis. The song of nephilim appeared and Albedo kidnapped MOMO for the Y data. The Elsa crew Boarded The Song of Nephilim. They fought through and met Albedo and his mech Simeon. The team saved MOMO, fought Albedo and En Rugiel. The Elsa Crew Escaped from the song when Proto Merkabah appeared. Albedo then threatened to blow up 2nd Miltia. The team went in to Proto Merkabah in an attempt to stop Albedo. They defeated Albedo, but he creatd a super Gnosis named Sophie Pethos. The team beat Sophie and had 3 min to get out before Proto Merkabah. KOS-MOS stayed back. She successfully set the self destruct mechanism and got out in 1 min. They Destroyed Proto Merkabah.

Try explaining the synopsis for Xenogears, which is the fifth and last part, Episode V. Now that game had one heck of a story, and was twice as long as Xenosaga I and II combined.

Unfortunatelyy, i do not have XenoGears. On a side note, any relation xenogears has to xenosaga is either fan based OR there may be crossovers or similarities, besides xenosaga has 6 parts (or so it is said)

The xenosage series is quite good, I've played it before but haven't got the game, but I'm into the games like that. I'll get the xenosaga games soon but first I must complete a few more games. By the way, stifmeister659(lol cool name), did you really type all that? If you did, man you must have been crazy. I read it...sorta...don't want to ruin any of the game now...

Actually, Squaresoft published the fifth game in the series, Xenogears (I say it's the fifth because it says "Episode V - The End" after the ending video). Xenogears was developed by a team from Monolith Soft. Square STILL has the rights to Xenogears, however. They never sold them. Monolith reportedly left Square because they lost a chunk of their budget to FF7 during development of Xenogears, causing the 2nd disk to be mostly cutscenes with a HUGE chunk of story overload, rather than as an interactive part. Monolith later joined up with Namco and decided to continue the series; Namco encouraged them to, but they decided to start from the beginning, with a different view to the story. Here's a breakdown of the story of Xenogears:





WARNING: Spoilers Ahead!









The above was gathered from various sources and edited, to the best of my memory, to better explain the games' relationship.


NOTES:

One may notice all the references to familiar myths of the Christian Bible, including Cain and Abel, the Nephlym, the Exodus, Genesis, the Adam and the Eve, etc, etc. It seems the Japanese have a thing with religion and and mankind's loss of humanity. Perhaps an homage to the phrase "deus ex machina," the god from the machine?

Anyway, here's how Xenosaga links to Xenogears:

In the first episode, the Eldridge crashes; this is shown in Xenogears. There are also many references to the Zohar. In the second episode, I hear Cain, Abel, Elhaym and Miang (Mei Lang) make an appearance. There's also supposedly references to the Anima Relics as well, and Nephilim also reportedly resembles Elhaym. The third is supposed to be when they're in the age of Zeboim civilization (with Kim and Elly, when Emerelda is born/created). In the 4th, Lacan, Krellian, Elly, Roni, and others supposedly make an appearance. The 5th is the one I just explained about, and the 6th occurs after Fei returns from defeating Urobulus. This is all just speculation, though, and since Square owns the rights to these characters, there's no sure way of knowing whether they will/have appear(ed) in these games or not.
