Flash Player 9 is required to watch this video.

Some games can't be summed up with just one title. No, these special games need subtitles, expository phrases, and perhaps even a lemma to fully encapsulate the wondrous contents of that box on the shelf.

The Xenosaga series was originally supposed to extend to six games, but it was canceled after the third title hit shelves. Subtitling all of them with phrases from a dour Prussian philosopher couldn't have helped.

Nothing says sci-fi like arbitrary acronyms. It should be noted that this game is conspicuously devoid of Led Zeppelin-related content.
