  • Maybe if there were more interesting characters from the get-go, this game would've been better. as it is, it's mediocre and I couldn't stand to finish it, so I quit right after Cherenkov died. Basically, a moment that was supposed to mean something meant nothing to me, and I realized the game wasn't for me. Much like X-Men 3. : /

  • Does this game not work on Slim PS2's? I tried like three different copies and they wouldn't even load, but all my other games work fine :(

  • Press 8 on the keyboard for Battle's end.

    You are welcome.

    That is all.

  • @ReaperTwo2 you make it look like Battle's end actually sounds good

  • @Bake749 Some people sought for it (I was one of those people), I am sure.

    But yes, this part of this video makes me a bit annoyed (I have to go back and rewind the video).

  • Transmit Eggs!

  • i didnt even understand how to play this when i first got it about 8 years ago, then about 2 years ago i blasted through the supposed"80 hours of gameplay" in about 60

  • @Okamii007 It's not 80 hours of gameplay, it's 80 hours of cutscenes. Holy god there were so many.

  • @SazukaruSetou Truee i've gotta admit that :3

  • So many memories of the good old playstation 2 days this is one of the greatest playing xenosaga for the first time

  • Love this game.

  • It reminds me of Shion saying:

    ''Open Ether Circuit''

    XD

  • Such a cool theme, too bad the bosses are so damn hard that we keep listening to this for like a entire hour. ;P

  • I hope you all enjoy listening to this.  This is all you're going to hear, even during boss battles.

  • Shion get's last hit with low HP.

    "Take it easy on me. I'm not meant for this line of work."

    Cute

  • I was so drawn into this game that I felt I was being chased by those Gnosis ingame o-o I miss it sooo much!!

  • Xenosaga killed any chances to dream about a xenogear real prequels and sequels

  • i love the intro to this it makes it seem its a really powerfull force coming to kill you and it is most of the time xD

  • blame square soft for disbanding the xeno-team,, they wouldve made a 7 part xenosaga series instead of 3

  • Yo Shion! Why hasn't KOSMOS been cleaned yet? Jeez, she has "Poor Maintenance" as a skill in Endless Frontier for crying out loud T_T

  • Oh shit, this is a classic game now?

    Fuck I'm old.

  • @DrSaering

    You are now aware this game is almost 9 years old >_>

  • @DrSaering

    Yeah god damnit, this game came out 9 years ago. Where does the time go?!

  • @DrSaering Back in the day this was concidered new.

  • @DrSaering

    Of course Xenosaga is a "classic" but it's not an old "classic" like xenogears. That's all

  • Ziggy- "Don't take it too hard. You didn't stand a chance."

  • @KenBlake "The first rule of survival...is to only think about oneself" Damn, Ziggy's got the best winning quotes.

  • LOL i guess xenosaga 1 was a test game to see if people would like it xD

  • Not only is this the only battle theme you hear for 35+ hours, there isn't any music anywhere except in cutscenes, so get used to long periods of silence and then frustration listening to this song for the 2000th time

  • @NotTooWellKnown And then the 2nd game arrived and I found myself playing it on mute whenever there wasn't a cutscene playing. I mean, props to them for not making the game as silent as the 1st one, but GOD, that pop crap and repetitive music was awful. Though I gotta say it's got some of the toughest hidden bosses I've ever seen.

  • @Deeznutz5150 I'm glad I wasn't the only one cringing because of some of the tracks. Especially the Miltia world map one *shudders*

  • One of my favorite battle themes of all time.

  • Low budget game... BUT ITS 10 TIMES AWSOME AND EPIC THAN STUPID FINAL FANTASY 13

  • @VideoGameGet

    Only 10 times ? Xenosaga 1, 2, 3 and Xenogears is 1 500 000 times better than FF XII or XIII LOL

  • This is a good warmup song or like a enemy encounter song at the military or Area 51

  • Anyways just somebody..., anybody, please record the battle music while you're also playing the game with the four robots fighting against your blue big robot (Jr's first battle). If enemy robots attacks on the first turn, don't start recording! Instead, try again and wait until the first turn is your turn. Try to cut off the sound effect before the song actually starts. And make sure it's +9 or +10 minutes long with gradual fading volume at the end of the recording. Read below for more info.

  • @FlashbangOmnix Or just, ya know, rip it from the game.

  • Anyways, if anyone is going to do the recording right, I would be thankful for that! But also make sure that the song lasts at least more than 9 or 10 minutes long while the song's sound slowly fades away at the end of the music video, otherwise it would be a bit sad... Please someone do this for me. Thanks in advance!

    (Spike Rosered's name is from the Rockman X5 game, one of the Maverick bosses that has that double self duplication technique.)

  • No offense, but this is NOT the same battle music as the one in the actually game. This song has that annoying added instruments that's not in the game. And I simply can't find the in-game battle music on YouTube. But a very good place to do this could be on the broken Woglinde versus the DOMO mech enemies. But have to absolutely make sure that the initial sound effect before the actual music is cut out, the enemies ain't going to attack and the characters aren't going to talk during the music.

  • @FlashbangOmnix Are you playing the game on a TV? It sounds like this when I use headphones.

  • @Bryantzerox You play the game only on the PS2. If anyone has watched the battle when the music is on, it sounds a LOT better than the music video being provided here. If you wanna know the difference, go on this YouTube Video: 094 U-TIC BS Part 2 Xenosaga Walkthrough PS2 HQ pheedbaq.com . You can hear the music quite clearly on this video.

  • @FlashbangOmnix First off, explain how only playing on a PS2 has any bearing in this. After that, tell me what parts of this song sound different to you, and why. Tell me what times they sound different, if you can, and I'll listen to those specific parts.

  • @Bryantzerox A specific description of the song is this. First off; almost always the battle music during a battle in the game has LESS INSTRUMENTS and doesn't sound bizarre at all. Secondly, it sounds clearer and slightly more silent to the battle environment while the music is playing.

    The proof is on the video link I've provided below if you wanna listen to it. Just listen to this one first here, than go to the video link provided below and see the difference yourself. I'm right about this.

  • @FlashbangOmnix The volume is lower during the game so that it doesn't overshadow the sound effects/voices/etc. during battles; that's why you can't hear them. Those instruments are there, and have always been there, and they're also there in the video you've shown me if you listen hard enough. If you specifically tell me at which time you're hearing these instruments in this video, and where they're not in the video you've presented, then I can examine it better.

  • @Bryantzerox But I'm telling you it sounds a lot better in terms of the song itself. And I didn't imagined it. Even some other people has the same exact conclusion. You did watched and listened to the 094 U-TIC BS Part 2 Xenosaga Walkthrough PS2 HQ pheedbaq.com (YouTube video), right? Anyways if you willing to record the song for us (during an actually game battle on the broken Woglinde), please do. I would thank you very much right in advance. Sorry I talk too much.

  • @Bryantzerox "Those instruments are there..." Yes they are there but not all of them that are here in this video. That's the third thing. If you've played this game long enough, you know what I'm talking about.

    Just please record the song, anyway.

    If I could, I would have recorded this so long ago. There's also a another song but that will have to wait for now... Anyways, I won't be commenting until 6/12 or 6/13, but I'll respond as soon as possible.

  • I think this theme got old the first time I heard it, I don't think it's bad or anything :o

  • The battle theme really reminds you of Xenogears :D

  • @danixleon I FEEL The same way, maybe its the same composer, just love this song

  • @danixleon Except it doesn't suck.

  • Shion, KOS-MOS and Momo. All girl team, all with swimsuits. More RPGs need swimsuits!

  • @neozanmato Swimsuits are part of what ruined "X-2" I hope you realize. Well, that, and being a sequel to "Final Fantasy X"

  • Yeah this battle theme is good... but it's literally the only battle theme in the game other than the final boss... gets quite old

  • I used to keep my surround sound on mute until i got into battles :) One of the best battle theme music ever.

  • This battle theme is like the perfect RPG battle theme to sway to.

  • this was the best rpg I ever played hands down XENOSAGA FOREVER!

  • When I first booted the game, i hated the battle theme. After awhile it began to grow on me lol

  • Having all the beginning enemies be unkilllable was a great way to set the mood for this game..

  • Damn, this brings back memories.

  • I remember this theme, I used to go on my uncle's PS2 and play Xenosaga i never could get pass the one boss that was before the Gnosis Key or something like that its a blur :\

  • @ShanusMaximus4332 Gargoyle.

  • Easily Mitsuda's best battle theme.

  • Holy... Crap... Nice theme...

  • shion:attack  40 damage

    enemy:guard

    k.o.s.m.o.s.:attack 999 damage.

    enemy dead.....

  • 118 likes and counting Woot go Xenosaga!

  • THESE GAMES ARE SO AWESOME THERE IS NO WORD FOR IT

    LIKE MASAMUNE DATE

  • Heard all three Episode battle themes, and this one is still my absolute favorite.

  • I can just hear 'HOO, HAH, ANGEL ARROW"

    and "Mystic Powers... Grant me a miracle!!"

    MOMO <3

  • @TheHikariMage

    LMAO as for me im use to using chaos. every time i hear this song im bound to hear lunar seal for some odd reason

  • @Xenosaga101 I've never really used chaos D:

    I liked his character though. Jr&MOMO were always in my party xD

    chaos was in my party a lot in Ep.3 though.

  • @TheHikariMage

    i have an akward team but i love the shit out of it. its Chaos,Shion,KosMos

  • @Xenosaga101 The only time I used Shion was in Ep.1. That was only because I needed to send all her ethers to MOMO xD chaos&KOSMOS were used the most out of my 'Reserve' party.

  • "Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration... That

    is all we need."

    WTF is up with my mind? o.O FIRST thing it said was a quote from a DIFFERENT game. xDDD I Fail.

  • 鳥肌総立ちw

  • i love this game, and this song will forever be embedded in my mind!

  • this song sounds like a boss theme. especially at the very begining

  • man some body tell me the name of this track

  • heh I've conqured it all ..

  • Whats the XENOSAGA 2 battle theme called?

  • meh

  • Just... Pure... Awesome.

  • I so wish an orchestra would play this live... It would be so epic!

  • the begining is so epic wow

  • *This theme plays with Shion, Kosmos, and Momo fighting a gnosis group*

    Shion: Firecracker! Spell Ray!

    Momo: Ray! Cosmic Flip! Floral Tempest!

    Kosmos: Blaster! X-Buster! X-Buster!

    *Battle End theme plays*

    lol love this song.

  • i love this battle theme SO much

  • can any one tell me the name to this song plz

  • is this piano or violin?

  • i love thee music

  • I, at first, hated having to dodge all the enemies at the beginning. So I went back and tore through the bastards once I had the ability.

    GRRRR. RIP AND TEAR!

  • Xenosaga FTW! I own all 3 games, I love them all from start to finish. The first game's battle music is still my favorite out of the three!

  • @Made4542 i never played xenosaga 3.... I want to get a copy so badly right now

  • @solidsnake434

    Oh yeah, you should definitely play it, it's fantastic, especially if you play all 3 in order, like watching a movie

  • kos-mos is a big reason to play this game she rocks!!!!

  • @onehandedgamer 1- It's worth that dollar. 2 - It's worth this dollar too. 3- And this one too. 69- It's worth 69 dollars. 70- It no longer cost 70 bucks.

  • I love this game so much

    although I was afraid to play it because of the beginning with the gnosis (I was 10 give me a break)

  • oh and also the 1st 1 is the best one IMO.....i feel in love with xenosaga because of it and it was so scary and crazy too O_O!! The boss and gnosis use to scare the hell out of me ><! I loved it...oh especially that part when the URTV's went insane and killed everyone man....I almost cried :(!

  • The 2nd is sort of the worst of the 3 in terms of style and story. But its mostly becuase the series sorta went threw a crazy transition since the original writer left and a new team came in place. At first I wasnt fond of the new battle system either but over time I

    actually grew to respect it once i understood it. The 3rd one is the sequel that xenosaga should have been in terms of style and even graphics, just a shame the battle system was quite simplified.

  • BEST BATTLE THEME... EVER!

  • That fight in the church where Febronia was at still scares the hell out me. I hate that fight. DX

  • man I love this song I think part 1 was better then 2

  • Don't get me wrong this battle them is awesome and all, but would it have killed them to add a boss theme? Even Xenogears had a boss theme.. -_-;;

  • @CrystalPower92 I'm with ya. They need a boss theme to complement this. -_-#

  • This theme made me think I was about to fight like Satan, but then it was just some little robot :(

  • God, not only was the first game boring as hell, but the battle theme NEVER changed. Not even in important boss fights. I mean, it's a great theme and all, but COME ON, only ONE battle theme?

    Still love Xenosaga to pieces, though.

  • @Jiyanamiki Really? I think it's been very entertaining so far. (In the Gnosis atm.)

  • @Zeldarulah It's really boring from then on, but I guess that's just my opinion XD

  • @Jiyanamiki I'm a decent bit past that and it's still good, so I disagree.

  • @Zeldarulah Yes, but in the first game, they're really just establishing plotline so it's very boring compared to the other games.

  • @Jiyanamiki Well, I disagree completely. But if the others are better than it sounds good :)

    Though I hear the 2nd is the worst one.

  • @Zeldarulah I hear the second was such a good game :p but I just started so I guess I don't know yet.

  • @Jiyanamiki I personally thought Episode III was the best of them all, they really tied everything together (plus the T-elos vs. KOS-MOS battles were totally bamf). Episode I was awesome as well (you're right it is sort of boring, but theres a LOT of plot to set up) but I didn't care too much for Episode II... I didn't like how they changed the graphics style, but nonetheless it was an awesome game.

  • @fwehbulous you summed up my feelings on the series very well too. xenosaga forever!

  • @devaloki lol glad to see I'm not the only one with these views! xD

  • One word, EPIC!

  • whats that one theme called i cant think of the name it plays during the part where the nosis are attacking

  • Comment removed

  • Kos-Mos's stats in the video game are over-buffed for a reason. By storyline strengths she may even be strong enough to battle the powerful video game characters off all-time. Imagine Kos-Mos taking on somebody like Ethereal Queen from Star Ocean, or Albert Wesker from Resident Evil, or Sephiroth from Final Fantasy, or Ganon(dorf) from Legend of Zelda

    Epic

  • @JenniferReturn In the game, she says her battle abilities are limited to only 20%

  • @Jiyanamiki ... and?

  • @JenniferReturn I meant that what you said that her power in the story is much more powerful than her power portrayed in fight scenes, and that's probably because her power is limited to 20%

  • @Jiyanamiki True Enough.

    :)

  • ha. Nice try. Jr's not that tall LOL

  • a theme to be rememberd

  • This song is the reason that the DS 2D remake sucks ass...none of the memorable tunes from Xenosaga's PS2 games make any appearance in the DS game. What the hell were the creators thinking?

  • The best battle theme ever. Makes it feel like your fighting for your life. =D

  • Lol like FFXIII battle theme

  • This song is very similar to Xenogears battle theme. I think thats why i liked it so much. It reminded me of it the second it played XD

  • I love the soft melody that starts at :40

    chaos will forever be my favorite character, I need to play this game when I get the chance, I've only seen my uncle play some of it.

  • i would bone kos-mos.

  • ZIGGURAT 8!!!. He's so awesome!!! Then again, they were all really good I think

  • I was honestly terrified by the time the first fight started. That's the only time I've ever felt real fear in an RPG.

  • @Deibodese hell yeah me too its like oh crap these ugly things are going to kill people aaaggghhhhh run but then you realize that you can run and that you a sitting duck :O I was like oh crap wheres the justice league when you need them lmao

  • @Deibodese But that makes sense because two of my friends and I signed up for an anime class in college. The three of us went in together and we saw all the mouthbreathers and weeaboos in there and the Xenosaga battle music just started playing in my head and I imagined us going into battle with them LOL. They dropped the class after the first day.

  • @Deibodese What do you mean "first fight"?

  • @KanjiofDarkness I was talking about the first time you enter battle. It's been a while since I've played it, so it may not be the very first battle in the game. Rather, it's the first time you battle the Gnosis, after the ten minute cutscene demonstrating just how ridiculously unstoppable the Gnosis are.

  • @Deibodese Well,how ridiculously unstoppable they are without the Hilbert Effect,anyway.Once they're affected by the Hilbert Effect,you can damage the Gnosis.Speaking of Gnosis,let me tell you the 2 most vicious Gnosis I've had to face!These 2 Gnosis were so dang strong that it took me multiple tries to beat them!The Gargoyle inside the Cathedral Ship,and the Tiamat at the what wasn't really the Encephalon Shion was trying to enter.She tried to enter KOS-MOS subconscious when something happened

  • @Deibodese I hope you don't mean the tutorial, but yeah, past the tutorial, I know what you mean. O_O

  • @Hikari2Yami

    Yeah. I had forgotten about the tutorial. ^^;; I'm talking about the fight after the ten minute cutscene showing just how unbeatable the Gnosis are.

  • @Deibodese i know how u feel this was my fist rpg when it first came out i was scared then gotten used to it but they were alot of good time and bad time

  • Ah, this takes me back to when the Gnosis took over the ship and killed off all of the passengers. Then I got in battle with Virgil and this played...So epic!

  • This theme and Kos-Mos were the hottest aspects of this game.

  • @anexistentialdilemma >.>. No, the final battle theme, Albedo, AND this theme. Albedo > KOS-MOS IMO, even if he's a psychotic pedophile. ^_^

  • Ah, but it IS an awesome battle theme.

  • I don't know if you're referring to xenosaga or persona... but either way, I'd have to strongly disagree with you.

  • they should make people play both games in prison

  • my sister has this game.

  • I have mixed feelings for this series, but man has the gameplay never been more fun...

    This battle song kicks ass too.

  • Xenosaga 1 was the best hands down i wanna play three (i own it lol) but i cant cuz i cant play two every time i turn 2 on i kinda wanna cry.

  • My favorite song from this game.

  • masterpiece

  • the characters in episode 3 looks better than in ep. 2 yet the characters in ep. 2 look older (shion and kosmos) than the ones in 3 lols..

    i like the shion and kosmos look in ep. 3 the best XD.

  • wahaha!! i remember dressing up as KOS-MOS when i was six. XD

  • LOL that's awesome.

  • I realy like the Xenosaga series, it has the best story in all rpgs by far. I also like ff7 but I like 10 the best. Lost Odyseey was good but hard. Rented Persona 4, (vary big mistake) thinkin of buying it.

  • God, I heard Persona can't even be bought in Austin... Makes me so mad because of how everyone is talking about so damn much... I guess I have to watch the entire series on youtube or something... Or use you-know-what. I just want to start with 3 and 4 too. I don't want to play the first 2 yet for some reason.

  • what is persona i hear about it too?

  • Comment removed

  • It's not suicide. The guns are called "evokers", and they're used to summon Personas... I believe they're more or less capable of amplifying the emotions needed to summon a Persona, hence the term "evoker". And the guns are only used for summoning... You typically fight with things such as swords, fists, or bows...

    Oh yes, and it was developed and published by Atlus... the only game that you listed that I know is associated with Atlus are Odin Sphere. The rest are probably NIS..

  • I know, it just seemed that way when I saw it. I had a girlfriend once that was obsessed with it.

  • Shin Megami Tensei: Persona is typically about a group of teenagers who gain the power of a Persona, or multiple Personas (not personae). A Persona is kind of like your true self manifested into a quasi physical form; with one, you can use magic and various physical skills to attack shadows, or demons. It's an RPG, so it has the usual things you would expect from an RPG... with different twists to gameplay in each successive sequel.

  • That's a very very brief explanation. You should look it up online if you're interested in it. It's really fun and rewarding (:

  • Persona games differ in many ways. Persona 3 and Persona 4 take place in the same world, however in other Persona before that is in another world. Anyway, Persona games are usually about high schoolers who gain a mysterious power known as Persona and have to fight demons. In Persona 3, you're high school students by day, but at night, you explore this huge tower at night filled with demons during a time period known as the dark hour. In the 4th game, you have to solve a serial murder case.

  • I DEFINITELY recommend Persona 3 and 4. I was burned out on JRPGs for a while, but these games deliver in such a good way.

  • You can buy it off Amazon for a good price. At least, you can buy Persona 4. I had to buy it that way and it came with a Visual book and all. It's an awesome game!

  • The victory fanfare at the end always reminds me of kos-mos saying something along the lines of "Shion my physical appearance has decline 5%, I need to be cleaned".

    Kos-mos voice actor was pretty damn awesome.

  • nononono you got it rong kos-mos says "shion my external aperance is down 5% I need to be cleaned"

  • It's kinda jarring how it shifts from "I'm gonna kick your ass" to "lovely peaceful" music at :40 then shifts back to "I'm gonna kill you!" ......but it works!

    It all blends together well. The composer is good.

    I like it!

  • The reason it sounds so badass is because all the game's music was created by the London Philharmonic Orchestra! 5/5
