Xenosaga Ep. III OSBT

[@aceoffox3028]

No game has ever had me sitting jaw hanging open, unable to even move in just stunned shock and sadness when it ended like this game did. My god the ending of this game series is trauma-inducing.

[@jarethloveland4159]

Seeing Jin die and KOS-MOS sleep made me cry.

[@ShadowSkyX]

Guess who did the exact same thing at the end of torna? Jin "died," reborn a flesh ester as pyra goes to sleep, to be sealed away.

This series needs a revival and a remake.

[@LuminaireLRP]

vDorgengoa Xenogears first. Then it'll be okay to remake this. ;)

[@samm.8052]

I don't want a remake. I want a remaster. It's too good to be remade to the same quality. Well, that's just me.

[@xXAkirhaXx]

Same story, updated direction and script. Not going to lie, original VO, direction, script, and gameplay were ass. The epic space opera that it was carried it alone into infamy.

[@kos-mos]

@@LuminaireLRP xenogears is license of squareenix, xenosaga no, is property of namcobandai, nintendo buying monolith, this studio created xenogears and xenosaga universe, buy nintendo never say anything of a revival or remake of xenosaga series, in the end, this game is planning for 5 episodes, but with the bad sellings, namcobandai say to cut only to a 3 episode, thanks with a internal problems,and the bad sellings

[@samm.8052]

@Vesmir NG-3 I mean, it'd be darn cool to see a remake! I just don't think it's story would be as good as the original, so I'd prefer a remaster.

[@samm.8052]

We have yet to reach the amount of sadness this game gives, in Xenoblade. I really hope Xenoblade can pull off getting as much feels as this masterpiece of a game series. I can't believe Xenosaga got almost no recognition for being the saddest story I've ever had the chance to play through.

[@nracicot]

I agree. This game is so sad, in a much more heavier way than Tales of Berseria, because Berseria is an open wound kind of pain. It's the kind of game that makes you cry a lot, but also makes you feel better in the end, while Xenosaga III is a crushing look at human vulnerability, with a small glimpse of hope. It's very dark stuff. Still, a fascinating game.

[@Rezzmari]

Yeah, this game touched me deeply. Gosh, now I want to rewatch all the cutscenes again starting from Xenosaga I. c_c

[@pokeleoantiqua7326]

Xenoblade has gotten me crying But not as much as Xenosaga

[@bradyotter2916]

It may be the end of the saga but the zohar's story still continues.

[@TheDragonel]

yeah but it's always just side story so far. i want the zohar to be in the spotlight again

[@bradyotter2916]

TheDragonel don't you realize it's in Xenoblade 2? Though it's name is different, it's definitely it. (PS I'm planning on working at monolith soft so I can help the series going. I will gladly have the Zohar be in the spotlight again. I think it deserves it.)

[@TheDragonel]

that's not the kind of spotlight i'm thinking of. it's there for like 1 chapter and vanishes after that. haha yeah well... one can dream right?

[@samm.8052]

The file name is actually listed as "Zohar" in the recent datamine for Xenoblade 2.

[@buzzoff4016]

@BradyOtter you took the words right outta my mouth👌👍

When i listen this song, i think at Jin's sacrifice to save the others. A truly hero.

Xenosaga needs a new sequel! We need to bring KOSMOS back! She is still alive out there, waiting for us, sleeping! We need to wake her up!

[@HarulinaF]

Just finished the Xenosaga trilogy, I'm break in many ways... this games are so special.

[@Omnicloudx13]

The most underated ps2 jrpg series, always wished it was more successful since it was supposed to be a 6 part series of games but sadly with how badly the 2nd game sold they ended things with Xenosaga 3. But even still the games were amazing and the story and characters are so unique. Some of the best JRPGs I ever played, I love the xenosaga games

[@theswagatron]

this game is borderline flawless topped with an ending that i don't see myself ever recovering from. xenosaga is incredible and episode 3 is a masterpiece

[@CaptainCFalcon]

5:35 The "Promised Pain" leitmotif plays in this song too.

[@dachking6657]

What an emotionally destroying game. I heard this song before playing it and can very vividly recall the Star Wars Force level of feeling that this song meant many agape mouths and devastated individuals.

[@JIX9ISLER1986]

[@snolls105]

[@vainezaiven6677]

There's a theory out there that Xenosaga 3's ending and Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed's ending are the same ending, from different perspectives. It's really interesting.

[@LoadingGears]

I uploaded my attempt of a cleaned up version of this song on my channel. It should be the latest video as of today

[@LoadingGears]

It's not perfect, but like you, I've been searching everywhere for it. I dont think it exists

[@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn't exist and will never exist. Lots of unreleased tracks were stored separately in the game's files, so they were ripped and uploaded separately as unreleased tracks. But that track (which plays when Shion summons the Gnosis, I call it 'maiden of the apocalypse') isn't stored separately in the game's files - it's hard-baked into the cutscene audio and can't be extracted cleanly. Really, your only hope of ever getting a full version is to steal Yuki Kajiura's hard drive.

[@InnerFire6213]

i remember playing all 3 episodes of the main series game as a teenager to completion, and really enjoyed it but didn' understand anything about the main story lol. i didn't have the same problem with final fantasy. gotta find a youtube video explaining about everything that happened in this game

[@rjhsora6368]

They haven't done Episodes 2 and 3 yet, but a youtube channel called Resonant Arc have done an extensive podcast on the first game going over its themes, characters, and hidden meanings. If you're into deep dives into games then I VERY much recommend them. Their Podcasts have helped me studying so many times lol

[@jacobmonks3722]

​@@rjhsora6368 100% agree. It's such a great podcast series, and I'm very excited for them to get to the next games because I definitely think there's a lot more flaws in 2 and 3, so they might be able to help reconcile or at least explain them in words.

I just realized what this track is... when it suddenly changed to t he "Big Boss" theme.. (Battle of your Soul).

[@raifintune]

If they remade this they'd need to add in the 2.5 story that got released before 3. Also the mobile game would need mention so spoiler wouldn't seem so out of place.

[@samm.8052]

[***SPOILERS(through the end of Xenosaga III)***] Just replayed the Trilogy. The saga technically never finished. The party started looking for Earth, and KOS-MOS was seen floating toward what looks like Earth. The destruction of the universe was delayed by chaos and Nephilim, but to be stopped the party must do something on Earth. Everyone has a clear goal, and not everything is complete yet. It's not so much "open-ended" as it is a total cliffhanger. I also can't believe that I forgot just how much of a cliffhanger it was. I wanna know what happens next!! And to make matters worse, the trilogy remaster that was circulating for a while at Monolith was deemed too low profit to carry out, thus dooming the series to at least another few years off shelves.

[@ShallBePurified]

Monolith Soft doesn't own the IP. Bandai Namco does, and they're the ones who decided it wasn't profitable enough.

[@nicogalax]

Xenogears kinda continues things in Abel and Nephilim U-DO side though

[@landondotson5469]

What plays at 4:02

[@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

The track that plays when Shion summons the Gnosis (I call it 'maiden of the apocalypse' - it doesn't have an official name and doesn't really have a widely-used unofficial name either). It isn't stored separately in the game's files, so sadly the music can't be uploaded independently, unlike most other tracks.

[@eternityandperpetuity6191]

What's the difference between Sophia and Nephilim? Zarathustra is the final boss here. Is there a link between the lost memory of Xenogears to Xenosaga?

[@pochul]

this song not appear in game credit

[@JIX9ISLER1986]

it does

[@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

It doesn't play during the game's credits; it plays before and after. The medley section in the middle was replaced in-game with hepatica#3~I believe in you, which plays for the duration of the credits.

[@Polarcon]

Hi darkyle99, I have a Question (maybe a following request). Do you get your music uploads directly out of the games files? (If the answer is NO maybe you can still help me out) I am looking for a Track from the Xenosaga Episode III soundtrack, specifically "maybe tomorrow (the INSTRUMENTAL Version)". I can not find this Track, it plays right after "I love you, sincerely" in the cutscene where KOS-MOS is carrying Allen. To my original question: I suspect this Track has not been claimed from the Games files (I have no Idea how, or why this could be the case, since there are multiple upload of the complete OST on KZbin and other sites). So if you are getting the songs from the files I request that you look into the matter and please upload it to KZbin. Or I am just a complete Idiot and the song was in plain sight all along, in that case it would be nice if you could point me in the right direction. Please note that Its not the "piano ver. of maybe tomorrow" that one sounds different. (I am posting this to multiple OST uploads to have more people aware.) Thank you in advance for at least reading this. I know 11 Years late, however hope dies last.
