I'd settle for just a Xenosaga 3 remaster...

Robot Queen deserves better.

I got her without intentionally looking to get her during the main game. Still some other ones I never got though despite the effort. I really hated the gatcha mechanics in Xenoblade 2. I hope they never do that again.

This madness around kos mos greatly helped the game's popularity though, even takahashi said so.
So...

Honestly, I don't really bother, I was fine with what I got, I don't need to get all the blades.

It was one of the major factors that made the game disappointing to me. That's sad to hear because it means it's likely they'll implement something similar in the next game if the gatcha was loved by most as you say.

I didn't really want to get all of the Blades but there were specific ones I wish I got but didn't.

The only thing I remember about Xenosaga 1 is that I never finished it and whenever they changed to their robots it sounded a lot like they were saying TRANSMIT AIDS.

Anyone else remember this tease for that wii u f2p game? I don't think it ever amounted to anything either.

My favourite video game character ever made and that's me being honest. She has it all for me. She has the badass in her, amazing weapon styles, and her story was super interesting to me. I dont get why people would say she's a bad character as she developed for me at the end of the trilogy. She's very plot central and without her you probably wont even have Xenosaga. Why do I like KOS-MOS so much though? I guess it's because I picked up the Xenosaga trilogy on my birthday when they were all out and I was super invested in the game. The cutscenes may have been long but KOS-MOS was super badass to me. She was that one female character that was super strong and I really enjoyed that about her. The twists that come in Episode III are some of the best twists for me, personally. Xenosaga is a very suspense heavy series. I know people may not like it because it relies too much on long cutscenes but coming out of playing JRPG series like FF and Tales, I felt Xenosaga was very amazing on that front. Episode II is the only thing I'd remove from the series for it's boring gameplay alone.

And yeah... whatever her signature move in Episode III has a breast window but that doesn't take away from her character, imo. It's just fanservice in the same way Tifa has big boobs.

Xenosaga Episode IV wont ever happen at this point. I gave up hope a long time ago and the only hope we have left is a HD remaster which was "rumoured" back in April https://gematsu.com/2018/04/bandai-...i-subtitle-also-sprach-zarathustra-in-the-u-s


Also, I've been supporting her inclusion in smash for years now. I think she has a chance as part of the dlc roster. You can read further here if interested at my SB thread: https://smashboards.com/threads/kos...battle-kos-mos-for-smash-ultimate-dlc.451936/

Yeah! We need more KOS-MOS
I'd love a Xenosaga remaster and I really hope it happens at some point...

Ps. My profile name is the name of her theme song from the Mugen no Frontier/Endless Frontier.

Xenosaga Episode 1 was such a a great game. The amount of obscure references and the whole gnostic allegory were top notch.

Her design is awful and her games were pretty notorious flops past the first one. I don't get the reverence for this character.

So true. If a series isn't a commercial success it's dogshit.

OP, I love Xenosaga as much as anyone, but even I can see it's time to move on.

The Xenosaga games have some significant flaws so it's hard to recommend people play the trilogy, even if it was rereleased; especially #2. There's no easy way to save the flaws in that game.

A HD collection would be embarrassing honestly with how much of a mess the trilogy is.
Xenosaga should remain dead unless they remake it with a unified art style and battle system.

Why would it be embarassing when they are still promoting Xenosaga with KOS-MOS Re? Do you even know what you're talking about...

I mean it would be embarrassing to see these 3 uneven games lined up together in a collection. It's definitely not the best example of what Monolith can do.

I tried to google Bandai Namco's official statement that KOS-MOS would no longer receive a game and only appear as a guest character in other games. I couldn't find it but I could have swore they said that.

In any case, I'm still hoping for a Xenosaga HD Trilogy. I feel like Monolithsoft is more known now than they were back when Xenosaga released.

User warned: Inflammatory drive-by posting, attempted thread derailment.
I entered in the thread excited about the prospect of another cosmic horror discussion about Bloodborne and then I see waifu shit. Anime was a mistake, it is nothing but trash.

That is a generic, awful, throw away, typical anime trash weeb waifu designed explicitly for the male gaze right there OP. Here's hoping she's in a junkyard where she belongs, along with all other outdated character designs that present men as people first and women as things first, people second.

Honestly, I'm surprised none of the original "Xeno" games have gotten remade or re-released. Xenogears is really popular and Xenosaga was a great trilogy.

Between your response to the above poster and myself, I'm guessing you're quite miffed that people don't like sexist designs.
No, I am quite miffed you have your head up your ass lol. You not liking thing doesn't make it bad. I agree there are sexist elements to this character and Takahashi games but that doesn't mean people don't like the character (do you post this in 2B and nier threads?)

Calling something weeb anime garbage is so low effort and unoriginal, mean, and overtly condescending. considering this is a thread about jrpg characters.
