JULY - 11 - 2001 Namco Event brings us heaps of new and even better looking images plus some interesting info. Read what GameSpot had to say about it. (WARNING: POSSIBLE spoilers ... but personally I wouldn't consider then spoilers).
Namco Event: Part 2
After
the segment on the game's music, the show floor was treated to a 13-minute
promotional trailer showing an edited version of the game's opening scenes,
as well as some of its event parts. To the audience's collective awe,
everything in the trailer is real time and is not a prerendered CG movie. It
starts off showing Lake Turukana in Kenya sometime during the 21st century,
with a group of archaeologists discovering a mysterious plate. One of the
archaeologists, Mr. Mizuno, pulls out an object, which he inserts into the
plate, triggering a massive earthquake. From the nearby ocean surfaces a
giant monolith, which issues a beam of light reaching far into the sky, and
a strong rain fills the scene. The scene then shifts into a different
era--the year is T.C. (transcend Christ) 4767, several centuries after
humankind has left Earth. The set is a space vessel on a mission to locate
an ancient, supernal entity called Zohar, when the mysterious Gnosis
forces--shadowy enemies of humankind--suddenly attack it. After a series of
bloodbaths, a female android called KOS-MOS shows up, summons her gatling
gun from another dimension, and blows the Gnosis forces away. From here, the
trailer begins to mix a set of different scenes: Chaos talking to KOS-MOS; a
council having a discussion about the re-alien (term for human clones in the
game) named Momo; and the protagonist Shion embracing her dying boyfriend,
among others. Most interesting, though, are the appearances of faces that'll
be familiar to Xenogears fans, such as Citan Uzuki, young Elly Vanhouten,
and young Fei Fong Wong. Whether they're actually the same characters or
merely look-alikes has not been confirmed. The trailer ends with Chaos and
the character resembling Citan Uzuki conversing and then finally switches to
another scene, with an unknown character speaking the words, "That
is...the Will to Power." After
the lengthy trailer was shown, producer Hirohide Sugiura concluded the show
with an interesting announcement. The game is now set to receive a limited
edition version that will include an action figure of one of the characters
in the game. No pricing was mentioned, however. He also added, though, that
the trailer shown at the event is being considered for a DVD release before
the game's actual shipping. Xenosaga Episode 1: Der Wille zur Macht for the
PlayStation2 is expected for a release this December in Japan. GameSpot will
bring you more on this hot game, but for now, feast your eyes on the massive
dose of screenshots taken from the show. For more information on Xenosaga,
