It's amazing Monolithsoft has always pushed console hardware to their limits each generation I'm still shocked Xenosaga 3 wasn't a PS3 launch title

Smart art design is what it is. Really nothing in this shot is pushing the hardware, but the way its presented leaves an impact

This is why Xenoblade must embrace mecha!!!!! X was only a taste of what they could do!!!! MAKE MORE MECHA MONOLITH!!!!!!!!

I wish Namco would hurry up and port the trilogy games to modern consoles. Us Europeans never got the chance to play them. All we got was a censored version of 2 with half its content missing.

I refuse to believe this is PS2.

I really can't wait to see the next Xenoblade with the power of the Switch 2. Hopefully it's X2 so we can get more Mecha stuff like this.

it's even more impressive considering that it's likely that Xenosaga 3 had less budget than Xenosaga 1 and 2

What do you mean this is PS2,

It’s a great game, but nothing screams PS3, that’s not even pushing the PS2 brother

yo wait wtf that wide shot is insane

Xenosaga 3 is such an unbelievably good looking game on ps2. I really wish that series could have gotten all the parts it would have. Amazing story that was cut short

Really wish Nintendo would let Monolith do a Pokemon game because DAMN, Gamefreak could learn a thing or two.

Plenty of devs including Sony's own Santa Monica Studios didn't want to deal with the headache that's the PS3 in a short 2 year timeframe so they opted to make their games for the PS2 while they get familiar with the PS3. Thus games like this and God of War 2

Bro these games need modern ports. I played Xenosaga 1 and 2 as a kid and never played 3.

WAIT THIS IS REALLY A PS2 GAME? I played Xenoblade and Xenogears, and Xenosaga is on my list, but now I'm really motivated to play it!

One of th3 best ps2 game ! I replay this game and kept in my collection. I still cry at the ending

Erde Kaiser Sigma was the best.

Can we get a remaster of the Xenosaga series please?

didnt push switch hardware at all

Monolith singlehandedly kept switch alive

Is this a ps2 game?

I found that to be the case for a lot of ps2 games tbh. Whenever I play through a few ps2 games I keep thinking I’m playing a ps3 game. This one is pretty exceptional tho

Xenosaga 3 was a graphical masterpiece the og ps2 had troubles even running the second disc.

One of the most visually breathtaking games by far - Not just of that generation, but overall. Hope their next game can lean into this kind of sci-fi again.

This was Namco at the peak of their creativity

The PS3 wasn't out yet when Xenosaga 3 was released but it was forced to compete with the 360 and PS3 which led to poor sales.

Oh hey, your final mech resembles Xenogears!

ill get to it soon relax guys

If we were to get a trilogy remaster, would you want the developer to use the the 1st game's models, or the 3rd game's models as a replacement or the 2nd game's character models?

Xenosaga gets way too much hate

Oh no I gotta emulate this asap

That’s because graphics quality follows the law of diminishing returns. The minimal threshold was around the age of the Dreamcast, PS2 etc. Also don't underestimate the bloat in "modern" software development. The PS2 ran at 294mhz, had 32mb of RAM and 4mb of VRAM.

Holy SHIT
