This compiles all the Xenogears "meta" I thought was worth leaving a direct link to, and also translations.

I think my FE posts are way more awesome, but that's just because my Xenogears posts are older.

( 2011-2012 replay, translations, so-called meta, all right this way... )

You know, I just realized today: I think everything before Aquavy is boring as hell.

Also, Shitan = Stephen Colbert. Seriously - look at him.

You're welcome.

Okay, story. You have to keep in mind that we're finding it hard to take certain things about this game seriously - the dialogue, for example. The game might throw a dramatic scene at ( Read more... )

I have a reputation in Xeno fandom for being extremely pretentious (ha ha, FE, you thought you had the corner on that opinion!), but I'm going to fail hard at that, because my thoughts on the game right now can be summarized pretty easily as, "lololol foreshadowing!" and "dude, I don't remember Shitan being such a dick!

(What else would I think of? Not the nature of sin, please.) Watching that reminded me of the other quote - I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, ( Read more... )

So, many of us agree that Shitan probably can't cook to save his life. They might even mention that in the game somewhere! The question is why. reynardfox contends that he's just so absent-minded he'll get distracted with almost anything while cooking, and therefore whatever it is will end up burnt to a crisp or somehow explosive. I think he doesn't have ( Read more... )

The translation of the last section was yanked from an old entry.

( Timeline and summary. )

The longer I do this, the more I love the early interaction between Jesse and Billy. I wish I had a save at that part of the game.

So here we go: Shitan's full profile, including the bits I've already posted for the sake of completion.

I didn't want to do anything major. Here, have some characters nobody cares about. :P
