Xenosaga 3 will give gamers 3 hours of cut scenes, an enhanced battle system featuring greater character customization, specialization options, and a bonus 50-level Xeno Bible mini-game.
1UP reports that RPG fans hoping Namco will wake up and translate the recently released Nintendo DS Xenosaga I + II Japanese compilation may continue holding their breath, but series fans can look forward to the three-game-long saga coming to an end this fall when Namco Bandai releases Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra on PlayStation 2.
The Xenosaga series was originally planned to span a far larger set of sequels, but reportedly Namco Bandai wasn’t entirely happy with the series’ sales and started condensing the storyline to finish out in this third game, which starts a year after the events of Xenosaga II.
