Xenosaga: Episode II - Jenseits von Gut und Böse screenshots

Main menu

Opening cinematic

Chaos and Canaan open the story to tell of events that took place 14 years ago

Unlike in Episode I, certain battles with a help of E.S. are required and more often

Margulis and Pallegri have plans of their own and will seriously catch up to their lack of appearance in Episode I

Chaos

Characters didn't change much in attitude, despite the more serious look

The biggest CG character change can be seen on none other than Vector's chief engineer, Shion Uzuki

KOS-MOS is still deadly and beautiful, as always

Shion talking to KOS-MOS

Sometimes it takes just a simple realization to boost up the optimism

Jr. eavesdropping on Ziggy's conversation with Juli Mizrahi

Rubedo's trying to provide some protection against two E.S.s but without comforting results

Momo is taking the wheel

Jr. firing at the pursuers

MOMO may look sweet, but when the action takes place, she's the right girl to handle it

This is called a driving without a license

Chaos, MOMO, and Jr. against a regular M-class enemy

Chaos hitting the enemy at the right break zones

After the battle, you gain experience and possibly level up

Some of your party members are better handling soldiers than bots, so you might want to change characters during the battle if necessary

The camera shows victorious move of the character who makes the finishing kick (note the diving mask, it's extra you get if you had save game file of finished Episode I on a memory card)

Drone attacks one of your E.S. (your each E.S. has a pilot and a co-pilot)

Using range attack against an enemy E.S.

Whenever you load one of your saved files, you get the story thus far to help you with some forgotten facts

Swapping discs

Nigredo seems as if he just realised there's no more toilet paper

As in Episode I, there'll be many memory lanes that'll add to the puzzle solution

When on Durandal, Little Master is always in the mood for some ordering around

Depending upon your leading character, dialogues with NPCs will vary

New mini-game in Episode II is providing a help to those in need and being a good samaritan, though they can be rather rewarding

Onboard Elsa, Shion's exploring the ship a little, which is slightly different in Episode II

Shion's talking to a barman droid onboard Elsa

Close-up on Jr.

Captain Matthews is the one to talk to if you want to go somewhere

Margulis is entering the scene

Jin and Margulis taking on yet another fancy swordfight that yielded no absolute winner

Boss battle against Margulis

KOS-MOS destroying everything that can be destroyed in hope to find some hidden items

Xenosaga games feature lots of very close camera angles so we can see the details on the pupils
