Game Description
Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse for the PlayStation 2 continues the ambitious sci-fi saga that began in Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht. Picking up immediately after the Gnosis conflict, the story follows Shion Uzuki, KOS-MOS, Jr., and the rest of the Elsa crew as they uncover the mysteries behind the U-TIC Organization, the Zohar, and the ancient conflict that binds humanity to the universe’s fate. Set across deep space and colonized planets, the sequel amplifies both cinematic storytelling and emotional character development, drawing players into a web of politics, memory, and metaphysics.
Developed by Monolith Soft and published by Namco, Episode II evolves the series’ turn-based combat system with faster pacing and tactical mechanics that emphasize combo coordination and positional awareness. New Double Team and Zone Attack systems add strategic layers, while improved A.G.W.S. mech battles deliver higher mobility and flashier attacks. Stunning voice acting and motion-captured cinematics enhance the emotional weight of its 40-hour narrative, while deep customization allows players to shape combat roles across multiple characters.
With visual upgrades, a re-orchestrated soundtrack, and a more intimate focus on character arcs, Xenosaga Episode II bridges philosophical storytelling with accessible design. It remains an essential chapter in one of the most distinctive sci-fi RPG trilogies ever created—and a highly sought-after title among PlayStation 2 collectors.
