NCS Synopsis
Xenosaga fans who just can't get enough are Xenosaga Freaks. Some more satisfaction is forthcoming today with a data disk which includes the following:Xenosaga Episode II Playable Demo
Explore the planet called 2nd Miltia and discover the reasons behind the Miltian Conflict which led to the storyline in Xenosaga Episode I. Revel in the stunningly rendered world of Miltia and preview the new battle system. All in all, the demo gives a good taste of the gaming experience and battle system to be found in Episode II which ships on June 24, 2004. Xenopittan
A variant of the game Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan where a column of tiles on the left-side of the screen are placed in a staging area located at the center of the screen. Played like Scrabble, tiles are taken from the tile reservoir and set into sensible arrangements alongside the tiles in the play area. Complete letter sets and phrases within a set amount of time and progress to the next puzzle challenge. In keeping in the Xenosaga vein, keywords and graphics from the Xenosaga game comprise the Pittan puzzles, which are then added to the Encyclopedia upon successful completion. XenoComi
An interactive adventure where the characters Chaos, Jr., KOS-MOS, M.O.M.O, Shion, and Ziggy provide assistance and/or exploratory skills in various assignments. As the story goes, a hacker has penetrated the Durandal mainframe and Elsa's systems are knocked out. KOS-MOS subsequently goes on a rampage and the crew swings into action to find the hacker and set things back to normal. A graphics section in this portion of Xenosaga Freaks may be unlocked by completing all of the assignments given to the six characters as well as a series of quizzes. In the character select screen of XenoComi, there's a seventh slot which a "?????" over it, which is apparently another character that factors in the overall storyline. Xenosaga Encyclopedia
Essentially an upgraded version of the UMN keyword database, the encyclopedia includes images, cinemas, voice samples and an encompassing keyword system where new words are added to the reams of data based on the player's progress in the demo of Xenosaga Episode 2, Xenopittan, and XenoComi. Data on all of the major characters may also be plumbed for background information on KOS-MOS and others. An intuitive control scheme allows for flipping through pages of information by hitting the trigger buttons. View the back cover on the main NCS website.
