6 unusual facts about Xenosaga


Melanie Klein

The PS2 science fiction RPG series Xenosaga references several psychoanalysts, including Melanie Klein.

Operation Rainfall

Operation Rainfall formed from the focus on three Wii-exclusive titles: Xenoblade Chronicles developed by Monolith Soft (makers of Xenogears and the Xenosaga series), The Last Story developed by Mistwalker and AQ Interactive, and Pandora's Tower developed by Ganbarion.

Xenosaga

The creator of both Xenogears and Xenosaga is Tetsuya Takahashi, who left Square in 1998 along with Hirohide Sugiura.

On several occasions, developers of Xenosaga, including series creator Tetsuya Takahashi, have maintained the two stories are not meant to exist in the same timeline or universe.

Yamashita is the fourth composer to score a Xenosaga video game, following Yasunori Mitsuda, Yuki Kajiura and Shinji Hosoe.

Other previous work includes the Hana Yori Dango and Mahou Sentai Majirenjaa Tabidate live-action television series and Nobunaga's Ambition video game series.


HDD Utility Disc

While many Japanese PlayStation 2 games support the HDD as a location to save and load game saves, support for that function of the HDD, and many others, were removed from nearly every North American release of those games during the time before the North American HDD release (ex. Xenosaga Episode 1, Dark Cloud 2, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X), and even a few games afterwards (ex. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Director's Cut).

Shion Uzuki

Shion makes an appearance in Namco × Capcom, when she, MOMO, and KOS-MOS appear in the middle of Shibuya during a series of dimensional disturbances, in time to help the main characters against a Gnosis attack.

Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse
