After spending a while on the Gamefaqs.com Xenosaga Episode II message board, it became clear to me that there was a demand for a script of the cutscenes in this game. Let me explain. Now, because this series has such a huge, deep plot, there are many things about the story to unravel and explore -- such as character interactions, individual character development, references to science and futuristic technology, connections between past and future episodes of the Saga, and of course the questionably present ties to the legendary PlayStation game Xenogears. In order for these things to be examined and dissected so that they may be more easily understood by the common gamer, someone should copy down and load up the actual script of the game's story, right? I am hoping my efforts will make these things a bit easier, heh. Dialogue and action descriptions in this guide will be as complete as possible, and I will try my best to make them unbiased. That means that if there is a character, line, or event that I don't like, I won't skip over it or cheese out on that part, all right? Completion is my goal, here. I've formatted this guide in a way that I hope is organized, and I've tried to make it easy on the eyes. After all, if it isn't easy to read through, there isn't much point in me putting it up. That said, it must be stated (and emphasized) that this guide is *NOT* SPOILER FREE. SPOILERS ABOUND EVERYWHERE. IN FACT, THIS ENTIRE GUIDE IS JUST ONE HUGE DOCUMENT OF SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE GAME. Well, both games, actually...Episode I and Episode II. Anyway, if you do not mind the plot being spoiled for you or you've already played the game, then sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy the story. I REPEAT. THIS GUIDE IS *NOT* SPOILER-FREE. =============================================================================== S E A R C H I N G T H I S G U I D E =============================================================================== G#500 If you need to find something quickly, press and hold CTRL (Control), then press the F button. This will bring up the 'Find and Replace' box. In it, type the word or name you're looking for and you should be taken to it immediately. This is much faster than scrolling through the entire guide. This is mainly intended to help you find the dialogue for any one character. This will start off with the playable characters you get to control, then it will list the main supporting characters in the order they are introduced in the game. Finally, I will note the background characters in the order they are introduced in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FULL CHARACTER NAME | LISTED IN THIS GUIDE AS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shion Uzuki | Shion KOS-MOS | KOS-MOS chaos | chaos Jr. / Gaignun Kukai Jr. (U.R.T.V.) | Jr. Ziggurat 8 / Ziggy | Ziggy 100-Series Observational Unit Prototype MOMO | MOMO Jin Uzuki | Jin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Helmer | Helmer Canaan | Canaan Margulis | Margulis Orgulla | Orgulla Patriarch | Patriarch Pellegri | Pellegri Allen Ridgeley | Allen Dr. Juli Mizrahi | Juli Gaignun Kukai (adult U.R.T.V.) | Gaignun Richard | Richard Rubedo (Jr. 14 years ago -- U.R.T.V. 666) | Rubedo Nigredo (Gaignun 14 years ago -- U.R.T.V. 669) | Nigredo Kevin Winnicot | Kevin Boss (Moby Dick Cafe) | Boss Mary Godwin | Mary Shelley Godwin | Shelley Albedo Piasora (adult U.R.T.V.) | Albedo Sellers | Sellers Albedo (Albedo 14 years ago -- U.R.T.V. 667) | Albedo Sakura Mizrahi | Sakura Dr. Dmitri Yuriev | Yuriev Citrine (U.R.T.V. 668) | Citrine Miyuki Itsumi | Miyuki Febronia | Febronia Nephilim | Nephilim Red Cloak -- Testament | Red Cloak Wilhelm | Wilhelm Captain Matthews | Matthews Hammer | Hammer Tony | Tony Vanderkam | Vanderkam Blue/Purple Cloak -- Testament | Blue Cloak Mirror Jr. (Albedo) | Mirror Jr. White Claok -- Testament | White Cloak ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Female Newscaster | Newscaster Female Operator | Operator Male Government Offices Technician | Technician Male 2nd R&D Division Scientist | Scientist 100-Series Realian(s) | 100-Series Male U.M.N.

Some minor background characters like technicians and scientists will be referred to with similar names on occasion, because of the limitations of space due to how I've formatted this guide. I will be adding in actions in the future, however, so I will try to describe these characters in greater detail in the relevant scenes. [Section Currently Under Construction] =============================================================================== G A M E S C R I P T =============================================================================== G#700 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D I S C O N E ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G#705 [OLD MILTIA -- T.C. 4753 (14 YEARS AGO)] [An oddly spider-shaped spacecraft gates out of hyperspace and begins its descent onto Miltia.] [The screen becomes slightly fuzzy, indicating that we are now watching a news broadcast.] Newscaster: What you're seeing here is actual footage from the violence that erupted before dawn this morning. Newscaster: These seemingly coordinated Realian attacks were reported throughout Federation territory, prompting government officials to consider this movement an act of terrorism. [There is insane laughter in the background. The camera moves down to view Old Miltia City with all the bright lights and advertisements. The sky is dark. There are flames and smoke coming from destroyed buildings and vehicles. There are many people running through the streets.] Newscaster: Their response to these Realians has been -- Newscaster: There's been a new development... [The camera zooms in on a small group of Realians destroying a car with some sort of pipe or club. An explosion suddenly obstructs the view. When the smoke clears, we see Realians working together to overturn another car. The car explodes.] Newscaster: As international agencies continue to analyze these violent events, a flash action report within the Federation -- and obtained by this station -- indicates that only Realian models created within the last two years or those receiving adjustments in the Miltian Star System have been implicated. [The camera moves to show a group of Realians now beating up citizens with pipes and clubs.] [Our view pulls back to show that the news report is being viewed on a large computer console screen.] Newscaster: Although this is not a complete list, we have obtained a partial list of units matching these criteria. Newscaster: This list includes... [The view slowly shifts right to show a male Realian with orange hair and golden eyes tightening the gloves of his grey military uniform. He is listening to the news report.] Newscaster: DZ-1006448 Newscaster: DZ-2000330 [The Realian looks up to watch the screen as he continues to tighten his gloves.] Newscaster: DZ-1001007 [The news report disappears as a black man in military uniform pops up on the screen. He begins talking to the Realian.] Helmer: Today was just the beginning of the ensuing violence. Helmer: These Realian outbreaks are spreading like wildfire. [The view zooms in on the screen again as Helmer continues talking.] Helmer: They'll be reading off plenty more model numbers in the media tomorrow, I can assure you. Canaan: So, what does that have to do with the operation? Canaan: I'd like to know why I was chosen for this mission. [Canaan finally stops fussing with his gloves, and looks up at Helmer.] Canaan: I'm told that the military has detained all of its Realians. Canaan: I find it difficult to believe that they don't have any misgivings about us. [Canaan stands before the screen with his arms crossed.] Helmer: Canaan, you're a Realian who's been especially created and configured by Vector, itself. Helmer: I've been given the CEO's personal guarantee that you won't be affected like the others. [The door behind Canaan suddenly opens, and a boy with silver hair and tanned skin, in the same grey uniform as Canaan, enters. He addresses Canaan.] chaos: Besides, no ordinary pilot could possibly control your craft. chaos: That makes you very vital to the operation. Helmer: I don't believe you two have been properly introduced yet. [Canaan turns his head to the left to look at chaos.] Helmer: This is chaos. [Canaan turns his body towards chaos as chaos continues walking towards the computer. chaos is also looking at Canaan.] Helmer: He'll be joining you onboard as your navigator. [Canaan addresses chaos.] Canaan: I appreciate the offer, but you may want to reconsider. Canaan: A regular human can't ride in that thing. [chaos smiles.] chaos: Right. That's why I'm here. chaos: Don't worry. Helmer: All right, it's settled then. Helmer: Good luck to both of you. ----------- [There is a U.M.N. symbol on the screen -- the snake-thing eating its tail.] Operator: As mentioned in the briefing, this is a top-secret mission. [The U.M.N. symbol is replaced by an Anima logo, and a hologram of the E.S. Asher appears, glowing and encased in thin glowing blue rings. The Anima logo is replaced by the Vector symbol.] Operator: All IFF code transmitters will be switched off, and under no circumstances will you receive backup from this vessel. [Glowing orange lines are spread out on the screen around the E.S. Asher hologram, and they move to make a 3D grid-map of a hangar.] Operator: You will have to manage your descent and return on your own. Operator: You can expect heavy resistance from both U-TIC enemy craft and Federation military units deployed throughout Miltia. [The view moves up the back of the E.S. Asher craft in the darkened hangar.] Operator: It's going to be dangerous. [We see Canaan stationed in the lower half of the E.S. Asher cockpit.] Operator: So watch yourselves out there. Canaan: Don't worry. Canaan: I'm coming back. [The view shifts up to show chaos stationed above Canaan in the upper half of the E.S. Asher cockpit.] chaos: Operator, requesting confirmation. [A small screen pops up in front of chaos. It reads: STRATEGY CHECK. A small keypad of black, hexagonal keys shows up on the screen, and chaos taps four different keys.] chaos: We are to head to point NN441, correct? Operator: Correct. [View shifts again to the exterior of the E.S. Asher. We see its massive leg and its equally large beam gun.] Operator: The U.R.T.V. force is currently deployed at the target location. Operator: Your primary objective is to retrieve them. Protecting them should be your first priority. [View shifts back to the interior of the cockpit. Canaan is peering upwards at the screen in front of chaos.] chaos: All of them? Operator: Affirmative. Operator: If the situation allows, you will then infiltrate U-TIC's motherframe and acquire the Y-Data -- the root of this conflict. chaos: Roger. We'll do what we can. Canaan: E.S. Asher start-up sequence complete. Canaan: Requesting launch. [Back outside the E.S. Asher again, we see the huge doors in front and back of the special craft opening.] Operator: Launch request confirmed. Operator: Now guiding E.S. Asher to Deck B. [When the doors are finally open, we see a sun setting and causing the sky to appear reddish-orange. A few stars are visible beyond the atmosphere.] [The title appears: Xenosaga EPISODE II Jenseits von Gut und Böse] chaos: Defensive shields deployed. Ready when you are. [We slowly zoom in on the E.S. Asher from the front.] Operator: Roger. Operator: Initiating launch procedure. Operator: Good luck! [Sparks fly as the E.S. Asher is launched via an overhead rail. As the craft begins to descend into the clouds, it drops the mechanisms that were used to connect it to the rails for deployment. Suddenly the E.S. Asher turns around and flies back underneath the main spacecraft. The Asher zooms along just above the clouds, towards the sunset. It finally descends through the cloud layer.] chaos: Currently passing through the troposphere. chaos: Outer hull temperature returning to normal. [The clouds clear to show the large city on Second Miltia. There is a lot of haze over the horizon. We see shots being fired into the air, and some small explosions in the distance.] chaos: Adjusting descent path by 0.22. [We see the city now from inside the cockpit, just above Canaan's head.] chaos: This should get us closer to our target. [A warning screen suddenly pops up in front of chaos. He gasps.] chaos: Approach warning. chaos: Incoming craft detected. [Several A.M.W.S. craft fly up to meet the Asher. They're flying on glowing discs.] chaos: They're on an intercept course. chaos: There are -- [chaos sounds slightly panicked. Canaan calmly interrupts him.] Canaan: We'll take them all out. Canaan: Stop counting and take control of the shields. [A wide red light flashes on the top of the E.S. Asher.] Canaan: We'll use the shockwave to gain an advantage on them. Canaan: You've got control of the weapons. [chaos's eyes move back and forth, watching the enemy craft.] chaos: Roger. chaos: It looks like they're unmanned. chaos: With no G-force limit, they can outmaneuver us. [The enemy units begin moving in formation to intercept. They start shooting red beams at the E.S. Asher.] chaos: They might pull some crazy moves out there, so be careful. [The E.S. Asher dodges the beams and flies down to greet the enemy mechs.] Canaan: It just makes them all the more predictable. [A screen is in front of chaos. One of the targets on the screen shifts, and chaos gasps. He fires the cannon. A large blue beam shoots out and destroys one of the mechs. It explodes. Another mech flies through the explosion until its above the E.S. Asher. Canaan gasps and maneuvers the E.S. Asher around the red beam shots that the enemy mech is shooting at it. Another blue beam is fired towards the enemies that have appeared above them. One of them is hit -- the first part of it explodes, then the rest of it falls a short distance before exploding as well. The Asher spins in a downward spiral, avoiding two synchronized enemy mechs shooting at it. chaos makes a distressed noise as the targets dance around his screen too fast for him to lock on. chaos shoots again, and hits one enemy craft, resulting in another big two-part explosion. The Asher and the remaining of the two enemy mechs spin around, facing each other, and the Asher manages to hit the enemy. Another explosion. Canaan looks up and gasps as he sees five more synchronized enemy units heading up towards them.] chaos: There's no end to these guys. [View is focused on the E.S. Asher's cannon-gun as the Asher hangs in the air.] chaos: And we don't have much A.B.R. energy left, either. chaos: Let's find someplace to set it down. [The Asher moves downward again into the last group of mechs. The mechs back off as one, and start shooting at the E.S. Asher. The Asher quickly dodges all of the shots. chaos closes his eyes, focusing. The enemies pause, take aim, and circle suddenly toward the Asher again. chaos' eyes suddenly open and he shoots the beam-gun...managing to catch each of the enemy units in his line of fire. They all explode simultaneously. The Asher pauses. Suddenly another enemy mech flies overhead, and the Asher turns to shoot it. chaos fires, and the beam starts to form -- but dies out almost instantly. chaos: We're empty... [Canaan grunts. He makes a sudden movement with the Asher's arm that the gun is attached to. The enemy mech moves to directly strike the Asher, but Canaan spears the enemy mech on its gun. As the immobilized mech starts sparking, Canaan ejects the weapon and the mech-plus-gun fall out of the sky a little ways before exploding. The E.S. Asher hangs in the air for a few seconds. chaos' eyes move back and forth again, scanning the area for any last enemy A.M.W.S. units.] chaos: All enemies destroyed. [chaos addresses Canaan again.] chaos: It's true. You really are as good as they say. Canaan: How are you handling the feedback? [Canaan cocks his head slightly.] Canaan: You know, a normal person would've probably passed out by now. [The E.S. Asher slowly begins descending toward the city again.] Canaan: I don't want you jeopardizing the mission. [Another gun materializes on one of the E.S. Asher's arms, and a new weapon materializes on the other arm.] chaos: I'm fine. chaos: It feels like it's had some special tuning, but that just makes it more interesting. [Canaan gasps and closes his eyes.] Canaan: I see. [The E.S. Asher is getting closer to the ground.] Canaan: Well, if I get anything unusual from you, I'm cutting the bypass to the navigator immediately. Canaan: I can operate this thing fine by myself. [chaos looks a little confused and upset.] chaos: Roger. [The E.S. Asher is finally close enough to the ground to land. It flies down and ejects the mechanisms it was using to fly. It glides over a bridge and at last settles onto a wide street.] ----------- [From the interior of the E.S. Asher's cockpit, the view slides across the buildings on one side of the street. There is debris and rubble strewn across the street, as well as a dead Realian. The advertisements and several of the lights are still functioning, though. There are no people around.] chaos: Looks like we're pretty far out from our objective. chaos: Plus, I'd say the defensive network we saw on the way down takes out the idea of an airborne approach. [Canaan's head is tilted towards chaos, but he looks down at the street.] Canaan: We'll go by ground then. Canaan: Fortunately, the rubble from the burned out buildings should provide us enough cover to cross the city unnoticed. [chaos nods.] chaos: Agreed. We'd better get moving. chaos: We don't have much time. [Exterior view of the E.S. Asher. The way it shifts, it almost seems like it's breathing.] Canaan: Not much time? [Canaan turns his head up towards chaos again, curious.] Canaan: Does this have something to do with the U.R.T.V.s? Canaan: Those designer children? [chaos nods again and makes a noise to signify confirmation.] chaos: Yes. That's right. chaos: We need to protect them from the coming crisis, if and when it occurs. [Canaan tilts his head again.] Canaan: You do realize that's a different story from what I heard in my official briefing. chaos: No doubt. chaos: As the Federation government's special forces, the U.R.T.V.s were sent in ahead of the invasion. [chaos looks down at Canaan.] chaos: I'm sure you understand what they represent in the conflict against the U-TIC Organization. Canaan: Right. [Canaan looks forward again, then to his left.] Canaan: I understand that they're bioweapons sent in to sever the link between the U-TIC's mobile weapons fleet and their source of power, the Zohar. chaos: The higher-ups have complete confidence in the U.R.T.V.s -- they are the military's trump card. [chaos looks forward.] chaos: Unfortunately, the brass are also blind to the potential dangers of the U.R.T.V.s. [Canaan looks forward again.] Canaan: Fascinating. I hadn't realized the situation was so desperate. ----------- [The E.S. Asher walks slowly down the middle of the street, surrounded by flaming wreckage and buildings covered by lights and advertisements. The area is deserted of people.] Canaan: So tell me...what exactly are we expecting to happen here? [View fades into E.S. Asher's cockpit interior as chaos begins speaking.] chaos: Well, the problem is that the U.R.T.V.s aren't merely machines. chaos: They're real people with their consciousness intact. chaos: The system that currently controls the Zohar was actually designed to be used for the U.M.N. transport system. chaos: However... [Canaan turns his head.] Canaan: Yes? chaos: Well, they experimented with the transport of living beings numerous times, but every attempt ended in failure. Canaan: According to the records, 99.76% of them were killed instantly. chaos: However, it seems that on very rare occasions, there were survivors. chaos: They didn't exist as people anymore, though. chaos: They were just things, never able to recover their consciousness -- the very element that made them human. Canaan: Mental breakdown... chaos: Lieutenant General Helmer concluded that if contact with the system led to the destruction of the human mind, then even the U.R.T.V.s, created as the system's antithesis, might be affected. chaos: Therefore, if the U.R.T.V.s were to suffer a mental breakdown, then likely the Zohar, a source of infinite energy, would spiral out of control. That would be devastating. Canaan: And yet the General Staff's decision wasn't overturned. I suppose that's where we come in... [The E.S. Asher continues walking down the deserted street.] ----------- [The E.S. Asher is walking on an overpass. Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light. The Asher stops moving. Canaan shields his eyes with his arm as the Song of Nephilim begins to play. chaos narrows his eyes, but gazes upward anyway. Behind several buildings in front of them, a pillar of light shoots up into the sky. The E.S. Asher takes a step back.] Canaan: What is it? A pillar of light? Canaan: And that sound... [Canaan starts.] Canaan: It's more than that. Music? chaos: It's...the Song of Nephilim. [Canaan quickly turns his head, surprised.] Canaan: You know what it is? chaos: I can't believe it. [chaos' hand tightens on his controls.] chaos: Even U-TIC has to be aware of the danger of the song. [The pillar of light is slightly brightening and fading in its intensity.] chaos: What could possibly make them... [The light brightens. chaos leans forward suddenly.] chaos: No! If this keeps up -- [A nearby abandoned truck explodes from enemy fire in front of the E.S. Asher. A small section of the overpass is destroyed. chaos gasps and twists around to see what happened. One enemy is spotted on the roof of one of the buildings in front of the Asher, while another is spotted on the street in front of them.] Canaan: It looks like they think we're the enemy. [A second enemy mech walks up nearby the first one on the street.] Canaan: Any ideas? [The enemies aim and start firing at the E.S. Asher. The Asher takes a few steps back. A small screen pops up in front of chaos. A yellow warning pops up on the screen surrounding a glowing blue hologram of the enemy mech unit type.] chaos: Yes, send an emergency IFF signal to let them know we're on their side. [We hear chaos tapping at keys. The view zooms in on chaos' small screen, which reads 'COMMUNICATION - CALL SIGN TO..' A small box appears on the small screen as well, reading 'Connection Viewer'. As chaos taps at the keys on the bottom of the small screen, the box on the screen lights up blue. A second, smaller box appears next to that, scrolling down through text quickly. A second, smaller screen pops up next to the first, reading 'Receiving Device'.] chaos: We can't let anything stop us. We have to reach our objective. [The enemy mechs continue firing at the E.S. Asher.] Canaan: They should be receiving our IFF signal. chaos: Wait. Something's wrong. [View changes back to chaos' second screen. It reads a Waveform-number that suddenly starts changing. A thin box on the screen shows the wave pattern as it rapidly fluctuates, and it begins flashing red.] Canaan: What is this? [We suddenly hear crazed screaming and crying out in the background, perhaps over the radio.] Canaan: What the...what's going on with them? chaos: This is... [chaos' eyes widen, and he gasps.] chaos: It can't be... [The E.S. Asher is suddenly hit. The arm with the main weapon is blown off. The Asher collapses down into a sort of kneeling position. chaos braces himself. His screen is not entirely red. The hologram and yellow warning are still at the bottom of his screen. Two more enemy units are walking toward the Asher from behind. Canaan gasps, clutching his head. His eyes close and he makes noises that indicate he is in pain. One eye opens again, slightly twitching.] chaos: Wait. Canaan, no! [The two mechs continue their approach, guns trained on the E.S. Asher. The Asher starts glowing blue, with a sort of green aura appearing on top of it. The green aura expands and brightens to blue.] chaos: Don't listen to it! Close your mind! [The enemy mechs are right on top of the Asher. Suddenly their main bodies light up with bright orange crosses and they explode simultaneously. The Asher's aura is now pink. After the explosion and the smoke clears, the aura on the Asher fades. Canaan stops gasping in pain, and turns to see what destroyed their enemies. There is another mech standing beyond the small fires and flaming wreckage left behind by the two mechs. Their savior has a blade in one hand of his mech. He's still behind the Asher. Canaan and chaos both look over their shoulders at him.] Canaan: Is he with us? chaos: I don't know. chaos: But he's broadcasting an IFF. Jin: Attention, unidentified craft. Jin: I've received your IFF signal. Jin: T |
