What PlayStation 2 Mech game is this?

[hobbes_182]

Hey everyone,

So a few days ago I was watching the PlayStation 2 video by My Life In Gaming. At 36:53 they showed footage of a Mech basically walking though what I would assume is downtown Tokyo.

Would anyone know which game this is? I am currently on a Mech kick, currently playing Front Mission 3. I would love to play this game:

I have bookmarked the footage here.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Cheers.

Zone of the Enders?

That is actually from the Xenosaga series.

It's a RPG that is mostly on foot, but there are giant Mech battles throughout the series.

I forgot which of the trilogy of games that one is in, but the background is clearly a Xenosaga game.

Here is some information about the Xenosaga Mechs:

That was my first guess, I do have that game in my collection, I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks! I would have never thought of that one. I'll start looking through these as well. I love that style of 3D

The screenshot is from Xenosaga II close to the beginning of the game.

Xenosaga I and II have plenty of flaws but the story is compelling. Xenosaga III's gameplay is much better than the previous two games. Xenosaga II is probably the most derided in the series. It tried to do some goofy things with the combat system. There's also no money or shops in II and all characters can learn the same abilities for the most part. The art style changed drastically from the first game and many voice actors did not reprise their roles.

My advice for a newcomer is to watch the cut scenes for I and II on YouTube and then play III. Given the high value of III, you may want to emulate.

Thanks for the awesome info. I'll definitely do that. I do love that type of art style. It gave me some Persona 4 vibes.

That is some fucking Xeno ass art design I tells ya what. It's brilliant
