[@RedDrought]

@@isaaclee8671 It’s not confirmed at all, BUT, there are a lot of things that make a good argument for it being KOS-MOS. I’m hoping it is.

[@phillosmaster393]

They deliberately linger on it at the end after making explicit references to Saga. If it’s not her the only other thing I could think of is it’s the Elsa but it being her is really the simplest explanation since it lines up well with this ending.

[@arthuranderson428]

Wow. One of the most emotional stories with emotional development of all characters since episode 1. They've all come such a long way since the morning cutscene where shion greeted kosmos, to this scene. It was amazing.

[@tinyguy9398]

And during the ending credits, chaos's final words, the final words of the entire series, are "Goodnight... KOS-MOS". Such an amazing way to bring the story to a close and full circle and so fitting with the theme of the entire work "making peace with your past, finding closure and moving on". By the way, I cried so much during Shion's goodbye scene with Jin and his subsequent death scene that I actually started to choke on my own tears I was sobbing so hard which totally shocked me. I've seen this many times before but was for some reason today I was extremely moved by it. Must have really needed to let that go whatever it was.

[@rogerarteaga2665]

The whole trilogy was eh...and to be honest as cool as Jin was in going back and helping chaos it was quite unnecessary considering the context of the story that they'd still see each other again.

[@50kekk]

My god. Jin's farewell to Shion gets me everytime-

[@face_nemesis]

"you've given me so much" that line always sticks with me... and the hug. Ouch. Throughout the whole series I was always really sad when Shion and Kos-mos were apart. I got spoiled a bit and I knew what kos-mos ver. 4 looked like. So even in episode 1, I knew kos-mos would be OK. But just seeing them part from each other hurts. The series ending here without a definite answer is so sad. But Kos-mos saying with certainty that they'll meet again makes me feel like I have to trust her with that.

[@envyling2461]

After RE-watching Xenosaga 1, 2 & then 3, all along "Red-Eye" Kosmos actually have "human characteristics with a soul & personality" & not "machine characteristics". As an audience, at first when I see Red-eye Kosmos, I thought only "no soul & no personality" machine side. Whereas Blue-eye Kosmos is her "soul/personality" human side. Turns out, after seeing how the story of Ep. 3 connects, we can see that Kosmos, whether "red-eye" or "blue-eye" either way is still have human characteristics with personality. We also learned Kosmos knows how to keep her human side a secret & "keeping secrets" is definitely a human behavior than machine behavior. That's what makes Kosmos so unique & my fav. character. Although machine, she is more human than machine & even more human than the other characters.

[@KofeeJuzzandSkotch]

It still tears me the fuck up, not just because of the unbelievably emotional ending, not just because the series was meant to continue and never did, but also because the piano melody in the start of this scene was never released on the soundtrack, and even among so many unreleased peaces that people have managed to find, not one has recovered the music from the goodbye and escape scenes.

[@inori_shiki]

I’m pretty sure it’s a piano arrangement of “Sweet Song”

[@totalradlad]

Yeah that definitely makes me really sad. I really hope that we get a full soundtrack release someday so we can hear all of the beautiful music that's trapped in these cutscenes.

[@DjCuervo861]

[@loganrussell3064]

21:04 I love how they just reference one of Wagner's greatest operas he wrote just for the hell of it lol makes the ship's name "Elsa" make a lot more sense tho ngl

[@DJKokaKola]

Literally everything in xenosaga is a reference. Basically every name, symbol, etc. If you remember the three random unique Gnosis on cathedral ship, Perun, Svarog, and Stribog are Slavic gods of their respective elements in game. The titles are from Nietzsche. There are some random Gnosis in ep2 only found in one area named after the head Watchers in Kabbalic tradition that grant humanity knowledge of different skills/elements, and their Gnosis counterparts reflect that. Even characters like Wilhelm are named after Wagner. If you're a giant mythology nerd, these games are a gold mine of references and allusions.

The censorship really ruins the immersion in Jin's fight, he was stabbed twice and his clothe still looks perfectly clean, too unbelievable

[@swordfish1390]

Yeah, it makes such a powerful scene look goofy.

[@rogerarteaga2665]

@@swordfish1390 Ah...really you need blood for it to show that he actually dies? It was fine stop nitpicking lol

[@swordfish1390]

@@rogerarteaga2665 How is it nitpicking? The scene was tailored around showing the blood, like when the sword plunges through Jin's back, the screen zooms up on the floor, since that's where the blood is supposed to be, but in the English version, all we see is.... the floor, it just looks goofy. All of the censorship makes scenes either confusing or sometimes even comical, it's absolutely not nitpicking.

[@rogerarteaga2665]

@@swordfish1390 It is considering the context of him dying is still there and displayed with emotion. Having blood in this particular sequence doesn't make a difference to the context of the story when actions and emotions are portrayed which didn't seem all that comical. I can say the same if there was an overload of blood and gore included and that would've also have been comical. Also, the censorship to this game or series was like 5 very minor things and even then didn't take away the point or the context of the story. I'm for one who doesn't give a shit about censorship unless it takes away completely from a character or a scene is just deleted completely but this is just....a few seconds of blood not shown that's it.

[@swordfish1390]

@@rogerarteaga2665 It doesn't destroy the game or anything, but it feels odd and I'm taken out of the experience when there is clearly supposed to be blood when there isn't. Like the scene in Miltia when young Shion cups her mother's blood in her hands, and when we see her holding her hands up, there isn't any blood, which makes the scene confusing.

[@CardiacTrance]

I played this game while ago, the original Japanese version. I'm surprised that all the blood is removed in this version. It's kinda awkward. Stabbed with swords and no blood? I love this scene though.

All these years, and I still can't find a rip of that piano version of "Sweet Song." :(

[@Helsionium]

I'm afraid that it's impossible to rip. In all of the cutscenes, music, sound effects and voices have been mixed down to a single audio track. It's just not possible to extract only the music from that. A few other tracks have also never been ripped for the same reason.

[@Laxanii]

@@Helsionium I understand. But I can dream! Maybe someone can just do their own piano cover to be exactly like it is here. That'd be good enough for me. :)

[@p0613v]

is that Fei and Elly?

[@Helsionium]

+p0613v The characters are named Abel and Nephilim. The story of Xenosaga is not directly connected to Xenogears (for legal reasons), but it is often thought that Xenosaga is a re-imagining of Xenogears or part of the larger story ("Perfect Works"). Of course, there are several Xenosaga characters that strongly resemble Xenogears characters. Abel and Nephilim were definitely made to look just like Fei and Elly. They have different roles in the story, though.

[@lezard2102]

The original idea was that Xenosaga and Xenogears would form part of a 6 episode saga. Xenosaga was supposed to follow the adventures of Shion and co. for Episode 1 and 2, then episode 3 and 4 would shift to another set of characters. The PS1 Xenogears was episode 5 (this is shown in the credits of the game), and a 6th episode to wrap all stories up was intended. Due to Squaresoft diverting a large amount of funds from the Xenogears team to produce FFVIII plus a lot of other conflicts, the production team left and started their own company (Monolith). They created the Xenosaga series and intended to make a remasterization of episode 5 (Xenogears) when the time came, but Squaresoft refused to let go of the copyright rights. This together with executive meddling (which caused a lot of writers to leave midway through episode 2) ended up causing Saga to just be centered around the Shion and co. story and the connection between Gears and Saga never being made explicitly.

[@rogerarteaga2665]

@@lezard2102 This is somewhat right but not exactly the Xenogears series was never going to tie up with Saga though. Perfect works has a completely different timeline

[@giuseppejoseph8890]

As much as I want a Remaster/ Remake, I'd rather this series remained untouched. Most of the games today are not being made to be better than it's predecessor but rather caving to things like "Ethics Commissions" and mob mentality. Some people noticed this in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and one of the creators eventually came forward to explain why certain things were changed. There was little to no death and people were essentially brought back from the dead to avoid, "Putting too much of a strain on gamers of today because what was acceptable in 1997 isn't acceptable today." If you don't believe me then go ahead and research it.
