Xenoblade X has turned 10 years old today!

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D just turned 10 years old!

On this day 20 years ago, the final episode of Xenosaga: The Animation aired in Japan!

I think we owe you an update Welcome (back) to Mira, everyone

In the original reveal trailer for Xenoblade X (or "A brand new title developed by MONOLITH SOFTWARE INC."), the Millesaur enemies are called "Amphicoelias" (アンフィコエリアス), which implies that their design is based on that particular species. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphicoelias

Xenosaga Furifuri Cast was a podcast featuring Ai Maeda and Mariko Suzuki (Shion's and KOS-MOS' voice actresses) released on the Japanese Xenosaga website before Episode III's launch back in 2006. It lasted 12 episodes. Fans could even submit messages on the website.

The Stone is a useless material in Xenoblade Chronicles that can be yoinked from a Berserk Ardun on the Bionis' Leg. It was likely never intended to be obtainable and only meant as a debug item, and yet it wasn't fixed in the Definitive Edition. https://www.xenoserieswiki.org/wiki/Stone

well ok then

In Xenoblade 2, the "Kitchen" location in Indol (not the Gormott version) has its y coordinate positioned a bit too high. That means that in order to discover this location, you must stand on a table (or a sack of potatoes). Notice the location text on the upper right.

A few enemy and collectable spawnpoints in XC1 are placed wrong because a number is positive/negative but it should be the opposite. For example, there's a Cute Brog in Colony 9 just vibing out of bounds to the east. It should be with its fellows on the Cliff Lake shoreline.

So apparently Dr. Masuda (the scientist from the intro of Xenosaga I) has a first name that starts with "T". Where do we know this from? It seems like the only source if the North American TV commercial of all things. It's definitely an interesting ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjVzzX7_Pl8

Areas in Oblivia in Xenoblade Chronicles X are named after — of all things — IRL football (soccer) players.

The Japanese Xenoblade X Wii U bundle came with a map and artbook, similar to the North American and PAL collector's editions or European Wii U bundle. But unlike the west, you could only get them in this bundle, so if you wanted the map or artbook, you had to buy a new console.

The cutscene music in Xenosaga Episode II is sometimes quite different between the Japanese and the western versions of the game. How different? Well, very. Just listen. Thanks to @rtg142857 for discovering this! Cutscenes taken from Helsionium on Youtube.

When you look at our maps for Alcamoth collectables in Future Connected, it might look like we messed up rotating it, but we didn't. The devs did. They forgot to swap X- and Z-coordinates. This is the reason why collectables appear so rarely in Alcamoth. This was never patched.

Xeno Series Wiki has turned 5 years old today!

Monolith should make official YTPs again.

But hey, for the one guy who needed to know that the Urayan Bobbile Brog has 1.5x the chance to drop a Common Core Crystal compared to its Gormott brethren, we got you.

Do you guys less than 3 pizza? I certainly do.

"Prosthetic Joe's Les Misérables" - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017)

Sakura's first appearance was not in Xenosaga Episode II, but instead in Xenosaga Freaks, which released two months earlier. Even though her house is seen in both games only very briefly, they made sure the Freaks version resembled the Episode II version as much as possible (minus the Bunnie plush).

We've just crossed the 30,000 article barrier. (and yes, we "just" crossed it thanks to automated mass article creation)

Starting off this account with some highlights from the Xitter account.

Any OGs remember "Here's Melia looking the other way"?

Greetings, sheeple of NIWA! Got some red hot news for ya: we've got a new affiliate, "The Wiki Ends With You"! This wiki is dedicated to the The World Ends with You video game franchise. Give them a warm welcome and visit: twewy.wiki

My reaction to the news yesterday

Man they hella buffed Daylight Savings Time this year.

Call me Elysium, cause we're in the Blue Sky

Do you like wikis about a series of games that involves magic swords, bigger guns, biggerer mechs, and pear-shaped mafia dons? We're one. Do you like wikis with complete info on *all* the games in their series? Eh we're not one yet. But that's why we could use your help.

Better check your watch. It might be Reyn Time.

In XC1DE, they somehow completely missed updating the model for the "Saga" weapon (top) compared to its otherwise-identical-looking brother "Dogma" (bottom). Perhaps they didn't notice because they both kinda suck (only two gem slots) so no one uses them.

The official Xenosaga III forums listed Xenogears under "Other Xenosaga Titles", one of the few (semi-)official instances where a "Xeno" series including Xenogears was acknowledged.

In the Japanese version of XC2, all of Praxis's and Theory's specials have names that are half German and half English, so you get names like "Wolkenbruch Rush", "Frostig Banish" and "Schaumplosion". However, Torrential Pain was likely misunderstood in the European languages.

If you're wondering where the wiki is right now, there's currently a data centre outage in Toronto. No it's not our fault. Hopefully we'll be back before their sports teams are.

In XC2, only the player-controlled Driver yells in panic when they fall off the map. This is a cryin' shame because some of their Blades have even better lines left over in the files.

All these anniversaries this year yet we forgot about the negative 30th anniversary of earth getting obliterated until we're just barely too late

Remember when XC3 first came out (two years ago, making this an anniversary post) and one of Taion's outfits had this rogue vertex stabbing him in the chin? And this is one of his inherited classes, thus making it much more likely to be seen compared to anyone else? Fun times.

And here's the final big Xeno anniversary for this year: Pied Piper turned 20 today!

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Xenosaga Epiode II in Japan!

If I had a penny for every JRPG where one of the main playable characters is called Noah and another is called something like "meow" I'd have two pennies, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

Do you have money? Do you think some website over there needs it more than you do? XSW is now accepting donations! We have just switched to a (hopefully) more stronger and more reliable server, but as a result cost has gone up. https://xenoserieswiki.org/donations/

Today is a big day: Xenosaga Freaks turns 20 today!
