Not sure if this has already been covered but...

It's not really that great or special, but KOS-MOS has been confirmed to appear in DS RPG 'Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier'.



And here is a pic for proof. It appears she is in her Episode III costume.

I doubt it'll be much of a part but at least it shows that Xenosaga hasn't just been forgotten, even if it is only used as a means to raise publicity of stupidly named DS games.

Wow, that's surprising. At first I thought this would just be a superbly excellent title to give your topic views. XD

Well I don't own a DS and the Namco X Capcom games never interested me in the slightest. That is pretty cool though, though I must admit KOSMOS is kind of a strange choice. I could see her being used as comic relief in being unable to understand human nature, at least. Cool news, if not slighty random hehe.

Whoa, so much for only the "Banpresto Originals" appearing in an SRW OG title.

Namco x Capcom was far from a memorable sRPG, so why they decided to ruin OG in this manner is unthinkable.

A DS Robot Wars game featuring a cameo appearance of KOS-MOS? I'm not in the slightest interested (and once again, they had to choose KOS-MOS... always KOS-MOS, meh!). That, and I don't own a DS and never will.

KOS-MOS is the most marketable character out of the whole roster, it's not suprising in the slightest that she gets all the attention that more plain looking characters (Like Rubedo and chaos) probably deserve. We obviously know these aren't plain characters but unless they have huge boobs or spikey hair and a big sword then they aren't going to gain half the attention.

I guess it's also justified by the fact that it's called Super Robot wars, and KOS-MOS is a robot of sorts.

Orgulla is a cyborg, has boobs and a sword... they should have chosen her!

But seriously, I know KOS-MOS is the most popular. I just wish they'd give other Xenosaga characters a chance too. As far as I'm concerned, Rubedo could be an interesting character in other games too.

Except that Orgulla has fifteen seconds of screen time and like 12 lines and is hardly canon.

I like seeing Kos-mos in cameos or crossover games, but it's a shame those games don't usually reach our end of the world. The only one I can think of was Soul Calibur 3, and she wasn't exactly her own character but more like a costume.

Didn't you once say yourself that she was indirectly referred to in Episode 1/Design Materials (forgot which one of the two)? =P And she's mentioned in the XSIII database.

But even then, I agree she's hardly canon. And that's a shame. ='(

Would have been nice to have her be more of a sinister henchman...well, henchwoman. But in comparison to the fact that even Margulis was a pawn, that regretably makes Orgulla a pawn of a pawn. Oh well, at least she was the most challenging boss in Xeno II for me. Actually, the only remotely challenging one. Ah well, I am a little bit curious as to what purpose they have for putting KOS-MOS in there. Even if there is just a cameo, I would assume there is purpose even behind that. Probably impossible to tell.

Is Orgulla mentioned in the game, or somewhere else? Not really getting what the 'Design Materials' means. I was shocked when I recently played through Xeno I and noticed there was a bit on T-elos in a U-TIC place. I think it was the part where you control Rubedo inside of the U-TIC battleship.

Anyway, seeing other characters in other places would be cool. Like it was said, if there's a FF cameo its probably going to be Cloud with his big hair or Sephiroth with his big sword, the other Xeno characters don't get much attention. I'd be happier to see chaos, Rubedo started to bug me a little bit through Xeno II. I still enjoyed his character through the whole trilogy, but it seemed they were trying to put Rubedo out there with a bigger story. Maybe they thought they made a mistake with Shion and wanted Rubedo to be the "main character" instead =p. Probably just me being annoyed that in many of the scenes in Xeno, Rubedo was put to the forefront, but I suppose he was involved in a lot of the storyline and antagonists too.

Well... no. This is Super Robot Wars. You're either a robot or you pilot a robot. And KOS MOS fits into both. Hell, Evas were in the previous games, and I believe was also a Gear from Xenogears, though I could be wrong.

As long as it doesn't bear "Original Generations" in its title, anything mecha-related can go into the multi-fandom fanservicey SRW game.

Original Generations is "original" because it SHOULD contain only Banpresto originals, but it looks like this is destined to break that tradition.

If I'm not mistaken, Design Materials is the plot guide of Xenosaga Episode 1 (like Perfect Works is to Xenogears). I can't remember very well, but unless I suffer from severe brain damage, Denim told me that Orgulla is indirectly referred to in that guide.

And then there's also the fact that Orgulla's green-eyed form is referred to as Eryu, which isn't stated anywhere in the game, as far as I know. But it's stated on Wikipedia and a few other sources. I just wonder where they got that info from? Because we all know the blue-eyed Orgulla is "Manes", but I don't know where they got the name "Eryu" from for her green-eyed form. =S

Go around some other Xenosaga message boards and you would find that there's basically an almost wholly translated Design Materials for Episode I, and the thing for Episode II, and a partially translated Episode III. The Episode II one sucks.

Isn't the Episode 2 one that crossover of an artbook and plot guide? The Complete Graphics, I think it's called. Or is that only the art, and thus the plot guide still something else? I'm not sure if I've ever seen it, but I could have sworn I once saw a scan of Orgulla (not fanart). And if I recall that was from the plot guide thingie which you're talking about... I think. =S

I'm pretty sure it was an artbook and a guidebook too. Which is part of the reason why the Guidebook part suffered.

sweet a game with KOS-MOS, I'll play it!

This just in:
In order to perform a really special move, KOS-MOS must bare some cleavage:


And apparently she's not the only one this applies to in this psuedohentai RPG adventure.
Observe the change in facial expression as this green-haired heroine dresses down before unleashing unspeakable hell:


That's right, girly! Show'em those bags right before you suffocate them with raw power!



This game will be over-the-top kind of funny, I suspect.

Oh wow, I'm always up for cleavage.

Well she did that in Xenosaga 3 as well. Not sure about those other girls though.

Typical, partial nudity included for all us horny people. Though I guess in my case it's still "meh": it are just boobies. =P

Uhm... go KOS-MOS! ^.^

Aren't they making another SRW where the Xenosaga ES are the mains?

Well, nudity and the Xeno universe (gears and saga) should be no surprise by now. You see, at least the creators can point back at something and go, "See, see, she showed part of her boobs there, so we have to do it here." With the other girls, hell if I know, but that green hair girl sure does seem a bit happy using her cleavage attack.

Wow, it should be one hell of a crack game. I'd be surprised if this was officially released in the US since it seems to be so...inappropriately insane. Its looking to be more and more of a pseudo porn RPG adventure. Haven't had one of those in awhile.

That would be something I'd actually consider investigating. ES's are fairly high up on my list of awesome RPG mecha designs. Though, Gears trump them and I'd rather see some Gears dishing out pain in a SRW game instead.

True ive just started the series and i knew alot about KOS-MOS before i even thought about playing the game! That just says somethhing dosent it?

I tried playing the Super Robot Wars, but after every battle it freezes, so I haven't gotten far enough to get KOS-MOS, or pretty much do anything yet.
The out of battle graphics are laughable though. Everything looks so miniature. But in battle it looks better.

Okay, so I went and picked up this game out of boredom.

It's not half bad. I'd compare the battle system to Valkyrie Profile's, in the sense that you do combos to keep damage up and to fill a guage. The guage allows other characters to 'tag in' and attack at the same time, essentially helping you juggle your enemy. Once you obtain them, you can use mechs as well. Some characters can use double attacks that do more damage. You can only have 4 characters in your party at any one time, but all of them can tag in and fight.

KOS-MOS isn't the only XSIII character that makes an appearance, either.
T-elos makes an appearance as a boss later on.

How long does it take to get KOS-MOS? And what did you think of the graphics outside of battles? Maybe you get used to it after a while. I didn't get a chance to play much.

I'm not sure just yet. I haven't gotten her yet either.
So far, the only characters I have are the main character, Haken, another android that Bomb posted a picture of called Aschen, a swordswoman called Kaguya, and a demon-girl called Suzuka.

There's a bit more information about them all here. Click

Out of battle, it's not all that bad. Kinda like Xenosaga I+II ish.
