finally a game made by xenosaga freaks for xenosaga freaks. This is basically a fan/demo disc containing various bits for xenosaga fans to enjoy. The first thing available is XenoComi, which is a short little adventure game/visual novel type beat. It's a parody game where you basically watch an incident where the Durandal gets hacked and KOS-MOS gets turned into a rampaging catgirl from the perspectives of each of the main party members. Since it has been a while since I have played the xenosaga trilogy it was actually quite fun to revisit the cast, especially since this all takes place before xenosaga 2 messes everything up. Since it do be a parody game, characters do be a bit exaggerated for the funny, and the game randomly quizzes you on xenosaga lore at various points in each story. It's all light dumb fun, though it can get a bit repetitive watching the same events happen 7 times to see the full story. The disc also includes Xenopittan, a variation of Mojipittan that has special xenosaga-themed levels and dictionaries. I think that the fact that there's so much xenosaga lore BS that they made a whole ass mojipittan game out of it is really funny ngl. Lastly there's a demo for xenosaga 2 (lame) and a decently fleshed out version of the in-game encyclopedia to be used as reference whether for the Xenocomi quizzes or for Xenopittan. Xenosaga Freaks is certainly not mind blowing, but it is some fun fanservice made to tide fans over before xenosaga 2 just absolutely killed all the momentum the series had.
