Welcome to the main attraction: my Xenogears and Xenosaga collection!
This is where I display every item in the collection, every game, soundtrack, poster, guides, pins etc.
I will keep adding more information about each item but feel free to ask if you want to know about
something specific. I know there is a lot of items and it might be hard to view with slower internet
connections or get a good overview but I will try to find a better solution soon. In the meantime,
enjoy the scrolling!

GAMES:
—Xenogears JAP—
God only knows! The very origin of the series, sealed.
—Xenogears the best JAP—
The “B”-version of the game, strangely comes in two jewel cases and is actually a nice version!
—Xenogears Square Millennium Collection Fei—
These where sold as “budget” version and actually costed less than the normal version back
then, crazy. There is only around 5000 each of the Fei and Elly version.
—Xenogears Square Millennium Collection Elly—
These where sold as “budget” version and actually costed less than the normal version back
then, crazy. There is only around 5000 each of the Fei and Elly version.
—Xenogears USA—
The beautiful black label, sealed!
—Xenogears Greatest Hits USA—
Ah, this is where the love for Xeno begun, with this very copy! I was a bit late and didn’t play it untill the Greatest Hits release, finding a black label copy in Sweden back then felt impossible.
—Xenosaga Episode I Limited JAP—
Includes the game, keyring with Vector logo, Artbook, Binder with Vector logo, KOS-MOS figure. There is 7000 copies.
—Xenosaga Episode I the best JAP—
—Xenosaga Episode I: Reloaded JAP—
It’s the best, it got a scene player and you can turn of the subtitles!
—Xenosaga Episode I Greatest Hits USA—
Again I was late to the party and the GH version was already released when I finally got to play the game, this is also my original copy and again I do have a sealed one.
—Xenosaga Freaks JAP—
A game for the fans but not by the fans, at least it have a database.
—Xenosaga Episode II Premium Box JAP—
Includes the game, Artbook, KOS-MOS’s bike, KOS-MOS figure + Accesories.
This box is a monster and home to the rumored MOK-KOS figure. This time they made 10000 copies.
—Xenosaga Episode II JAP the best JAP—
Probably the ugliest item in the entire collection, hu!
—Xenosaga Episode II USA—
This time I finally got the game on the release day, what a day it was, the intro of EPII is magical!
—Xenosaga Episode II EU—
(4 languages)
—Xenosaga Episode II EU—
(Nordic, 4 languages) Yay, Swedish on the back!
—Xenosaga Episode II EU Italian Rental—
I never knew the rental version was something official
made and sealed in factory but apparently that was the case
and I decided to add this!
—Xenosaga Episode I.II—
How I wish there was an english version of this… Rumors says it only sold around 20000 copies, that is really low.
—Xenosaga Episode III JAP—
This is it, the ultimate game in the ultimate version! This is also the first japanese game I imported but far from the last.
—Xenosaga Episode III ASIA—
this is actually a slighlty more beautiful version since it doesn’t have the “age marking”.
—Xenosaga Episode III Animate Preorder Box—
I still cant’t believe that this one even exists! When I started
collecting I was a bit dissapointed that EP3 never got a limited box but it actually had one all along, it
includes the game and the Alle Spezielle DVD, it just looks amazing!
—Xenosaga Episode III USA Lenticular—
Now it’s T-elos!
—Xenosaga Episode III USA Lenticular—,
Suddenly KOS-MOS?!
SOUNDTRACKS:
—Xenogears Original Soundtrack First Print—
The original from 1998!
—Xenogears Original Soundtrack Second Print—
This is the reprint from 2005
—Xenogears Original Soundtrack Limited—
This is perfection, limited to 10000 copies, you get a small poster and booklet but the box is what you want!
—Xenogears Myth Vinyl—
I’m not sure how many of these where made but it
is very limited and hard to find, you could only get it from the Square-enix
web shop. Definitely one of my favorites in the collection!
—Xenogears Myth First Print—
Now I only wish for the Chrono Cross orchestral album to be completed…
—Xenogears Blu-ray OST—
A terrible picture but a fantastic soundtrack!
—Xenogears Blu-ray OST Signed—
You could buy these signed at Tokyo Game Show 2018, signed by Yasunori Mitsuda of course.
—Xenogears 20th Anniversary concert Blu-ray—
For some reason Yasunori Mitsuda didn’t want this concert released but for once SquareEnix had the better judgement. If not THE best at least top 3 best recorded concerts ever. This concert and the
arrangement of the songs is everything I ever wanted and more, be sure to look it up!
Watching it on the projector is the second best thing if you couldn’t see it live.
Includes a preorder card!
—Xenosaga Episode I Sampler OST—
Quite rare, I think you got it by pre-ordering EP1: Reloaded?
It only has 3 tracks.
—Xenosaga Episode I Preview Disc—
This is by far the most rare of all soundtracks and was only given away to people at the original reveal of the game, finding a copy, especially a sealed one like this is next to impossible now.
—Xenosaga Episode I Limited Soundtrack + Sticker—
—Xenosaga Episode I Kokoro Single—
How many games get a single with the ending themes!?
—Xenosaga Episode I OST Second Print—
—Xenosaga Drama CD Outer File 01—
Needs an upgrade to a sealed copy like the other two. This is sadly the only place where the story about how the
Elsa crew came together is told… really interesting!
—Xenosaga Drama CD Outer File 02—
—Xenosaga Drama CD Outer File 03—
—Xenosaga the Animation OST—
It can’t compare to Yuki and Mitsuda’s work but there are some really great tracks!
—Xenosaga Episode II Movie Scene Soundtrack—
—Xenosaga Episode II Movie Scene Soundtrack Limited—
Includes a memory card holder.
—Xenosaga Episode II Movie Scene Soundtrack Limited—
Includes a memory card holder.
—Xenosaga Episode III Music Selection Soundtrack—
If only there was a complete soundtrack, oh well, still the greatest
soundtrack of all time and it also includes the very best song ever made.
—Xenosaga Episode III Music Selection Soundtrack Limited—
Includes a memory card holder.
—Xenosaga Episode III Music Selection Soundtrack Limited—
Includes a memory card holder.
GUIDES:
—Xenogears V-jump Mini Guide 1-3—
You got these together with the V-jump magazine. The really live up to the name “mini” guides,
less than 20 pages each and not bigger than a normal game manual.
—Square Xenogears Ultimate Save File Disc/Book—
—Square Xenogears Guide with Poster—
—Xenogears Thousands of Daggers—
My most overpriced item, I payed more than 10 times the actual value, luckily it is an amazing book….
—Xenogears Brady Guide—
After 10 years I finally added a nice copy!
—Xenosaga I Offical Guide Book—
The simple budget version, hopefully it gets you to the end.
—Xenosaga I Offical Complete Guide—
One of the first guides I bought, (I have one in better condition).
—Xenosaga I Scenario Book—
This is the best, the entire script of EP1 with pictures from the related scenes.
—Xenosaga I July 2001 Preview Pamphlet—
—Xenosaga I Brady Guide—
Just like the Xenogears guide, I have had this forever and have just not upgraded to a better copy.
—Xenosaga II Offical Guide—it is glittering, wooo!
—Xenosaga II Scenario Book—
Like EP1, a book with the entire script, sadly Ep3 never got one.
—Xenosaga II Offical Complete Guide—
—Xenosaga II Zenaku no Higan ManiaX—
—Xenosaga II Brady Guide Limited—
It includes a CD with a few songs from the game!
—Xenosaga I.II DS Perfcet Guide—
The only guide the DS game got, I like it!
—Xenosaga III Offical Complete Guide—
This is the place to look if you need information not explained in the games, luckily translated by fans!
SCOREBOOKS:
—Xenogears Original Soundtrack (score book)—
I finally added a better picture, years later, wo!
—Xenogears Original Soundtrack (score book)—
Almost identical but this is the 2020 print of this book,
quite surprising to me!
—Xenosaga I Piano Sheet Music—
Play that thing!
—Partitura Originale Di Xenosaga—
Read all about it here: https://xenosagacollector.wordpress.com/2016/01/16/top-5-xeno-items-part-2/
—Xenosaga II Piano Sheet Music—
ARTBOOKS:
—Xenogears – Perfect Works – —
It is the holy grail of Xeno!
—Xenogears – Perfect Works – 2014 Reprint—
A dream come true, a reprint 16 years later and at a much more humane prize.
—Xenogears 20th Anniversary Booklet—
The mini version of Perfect works, really nice content and quality.
It includes 8 different and nice postcards!
—The Art of Xenosaga Episode I (USA)—
—The Art of Xenosaga Episode I (JAP)—
The japanese version is identical but was very limited and included a congratulation letter to the few who
got it.
—The Art of Xenosaga Episode I Congratulation letter—
—Xenosaga Episode I Official Design Material—
Reffered to as ODM by the fans, something of a holy grail, I will
get back to this one!
—Xenosaga Episode I Emission Book Preview—
A sneak peek of the first book.
—Xenosaga Episode I Emission Book—
—Xenosaga Episode II Material Guide Book—
Guide, database and artbook all in one!
—Xenosaga Episode II Emission Book—
—The Art of Xenosaga Episode III—
—Xenosaga Episode III Emission Book—
—Xenosaga Episode 4 Emission Book—
Yes that’s right, a fourth (fifth) one of these all these years later!
It’s only about 20 pages and only includes pictures / sketches drawn
for the cancelled KOS-MOS bust.
—Xenosaga KOS-MOS Fix—
20 years of KOS-MOS! A few different artists and their versions of KOS-MOS.
—Xenosaga Episode Emission Book Box—
This, this… is just amazing! I have heard it is limited to 2000 copies but I suspect it is much less since it almost never shows
up. It is a box to hold the three Emission books and was released at the same time as the Episode III book.
—Nobutori Yuki Animation Artbook—

POSTERS:
—Xenogears Square Millennium Collection Box Poster—
Wow, this one is rare, not in perfect condition but still, I feel
lucky just owning it!
—Xenogears Elly and Character Dual Poster—
(my copy, I don’t dare to unfold it)
The other side. In my documents I always called this the “character poster” and it took a
while before I realised that it was dual sided.
—Xenogears Mother Poster—
I actually don’t know what this one is usually called since it appears so rarely, probably the
most expensive and sought after of all Xeno posters and for good reason. Just an amazing
poster since it is the same art as the Perfect Works cover.
—Xenogears and Parasite Eve Dual Poster-
—Xenosaga I Promo Poster Ziggy and MOMO—
—Xenosaga I Contest Poster—
This one shows all the prizes from a rumored contest,
—Xenosaga I Trading Card Poster—
—Xenosaga I Soundtrack Poster—
—Xenosaga Drama CD Poster—
I will take a new picture later but this is an upgraded copy from my old
—Xenosaga I Reloaded Promo Poster—
I still dream of seeing this one framed.
—Xenosaga Freaks and EPII Promo Poster—
—Xenosaga Freaks Promo Poster—
—Xenosaga I.II Promo Poster—
Drool.
—Xenosaga I.II Promo Poster 2—
—Xenosaga I.II Dual-sided poster—
—Xenosaga II Hanging Poster—
I don’t know what to call this one, it is not really a poster, it is made
in a thicker material and has holes for hanging in US stores.
—Xenosaga II Weekly Magazines Poster—
—Xenosaga II Asher Promo Poster—
—Xenosaga II Bike Promo Poster—
—Xenosaga III US Promo “Poster”—
Not really a poster but oh well.
—Xenosaga III Promo Poster—
Believe it or not but this one is official, there is a lot of fake posters with this
art (since it is so amazing of course) but this is the only official one without any text blocking the art.
—Xenosaga III Promo Poster—
Not for sale!
—Xenosaga III Promo Poster—
This, this is how you promote a game! The art, the art!
—Xenosaga III Sales Poster—
This is a really intresting poster that shows sales numbers and a timeline of the series in terms of
trailers etc. I will get back to this.
—Xenosaga III Promo Posters x3—
Love these, I can’t believe that I forgot to take a picture until now!
—Xenosaga III T-elos Poster—
It’s the life-sized T-elos poster you could get by preordering the game in USA.
It would take two tables to roll it out so it will have to wait.
—Xenosaga III T-elos Poster—
Just a comparison to another poster.
—Namco X Capcom Promo Poster—
Um, well, I got sidetracked.
—Namco X Capcom Promo Poster 2—
Um, well, I got sidetracked, again.
—Xenosaga the Animation Box1 Promo Poster—
A promo poster for the first Animation box
FIGURINES:
—Xenogears Fei Bring Arts—
20 years later he finally got a nice action figure!
—Xenogears Elly Bring Arts—
Elly! I had her since release but for some reason never added to the site.
—Xenogears Weltall Bring Arts—
They might be expensive but these Bring Arts figures all look amazing and being able to make
all the iconic poses is just great even if my copies stay in their boxes for the collection…
—Xenogears Weltall Id Bring Arts—
My dream figure finally released!! It is so amazing! The only sad thing is that the cool golden markings
comes as stickers and are tricky to apply. The Japanese version didn’t even get the stickers.
—Xenogears Structure arts 1/144 model kits Vol.1 box—
Four Gears at the price of one! Only you need to build and paint them yourself, haha.
(Weltall, Vierge, Heimdal, Brigander)
—Xenogears Structure arts 1/144 model kit Siebzhen—
The largest gear in the 1/144 series, it had to be released separate from the others and is still a pretty massive box. This one comes with basic colors from start but you still need to build it and if you can paint.

Look at that box! I wish Episode III got a box like that, it even has a magnetic lock so
you can see the figure and all the parts without opening the box!
—KOS-MOS Ver.4 (1/8) ALTER—
Probably the most popular figure? I don’t dare to open the box and display it…
—KOS-MOS 1/6 Swimsuit Alternative Version—
—KOS-MOS 1/6 Swimsuit (T-elos color)—
The most expensive of all the figures… and it comes in a black box so you can’t see it, yay!
—KOS-MOS Ver.4 Atelier Sai Limited WF 2007—
Wow, just 300 units and yet I do have a duplicate, ugh. I also seem to be one of few who actually like this one.
—KOSMOS Ver.4 Atelier Sai Limited WF 2007—
300!
—ES Dinah Megahouse 2014—

—Episode I Special DVD JAP—
Mostly Contains interviews with Shion and Momo’s voice actresses (JAP) and also some comercials etc.
—Episode I Movie DVD USA—
Ah, the best and most played DVD I own. Most of the scenes from Episode I with dual language and OPTIONAL subtitles unlike the game.
—Episode III Alle spezielle DVD—
You got this by preordering Episode III in Japan, I watched one of the included trailers well over 100 times before the US version was released.
It includes trailers and info about some merchandise etc from all three games, a really good disc overall!
—EPI Mini Disc Non Playable Demo USA—
This was for stores only, I don’t know exactly which trailers are on it.
—Xenosaga Freaks Reservation CD—
—Episode III Trail Version—
This is the demo of EPIII, you had to win it in a lottery and it was limited to 10000 units.
I remeber that it only took a few days before people “hacked” it and found that the entire database full of spoilers was included on the disc.

Aaaaah, I found your blog looking for a lot of rare items, actually!
I’ve been hunting down Xenosaga merch for the last two years (i got into the game too young to really get any match when it was available). I know I started late, and it makes it very, very hard to find any of the rarer items or pre order/limited edition items. Looking at your collection makes me so ecstatic that someone else loves this series as much as I do. Just know that if you ever plan on selling it all, I would give you thousands upon thousands upon thousands for this lol at least if it continues to become as difficultfinding items as it is now. Happy collecting!

Hello!
I am always glad to see when new people stumble in here, hehe.
Starting a Xeno collection now really seems like a nightmare and like you say some items are just impossible
to find, I felt like I started to late back in 2006… Some items are at least cheaper to get now so getting a decent collection would
be a lot faster than back then and if you haven’t seen them already I do have some duplicates for sale at ebay and some more here:
Just ask if you want any of that, the shipping can be high since I live in Sweden but if you buy a lot I gladly give a discount, hehe!
It really makes me happy every time that I hear about new fans of the series, especially when they also collect the items like you!
By the way, I will soon add some of those impossible to find Xenogears items if you also like Gears?

Your Xenosaga/gears collection is so great. It looks like that I am too late to collect mine. Your dedication is exquisite. The thing I want to ask that are Xenosaga artbooks great enough to reflect the trilogy? Also, are your TCG sets complete? How many cards do every episode have totally? I want to buy the guides, artbooks and all TCG set by monthly on some Japanese online shops. Especially, those guides. Sorry, too many question to you, but , what contents are in the Nakoruru Limited box? Lastly, do you think to buy Xeno Emission set?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Thank you! Dedication is the word, it has already been 10 years of collecting and even back then I felt a bit late to the party…
A lot of items are just impossible to find now but a lot of the items are actually much easier, building a decent collection now
is not THAT hard but going for this level is not recommended even if I always am happy to see new collectors!
As for the questions, it might get a bit messy but I hope these are the answers you want:
If you want artbooks to look at the actual art, the Emission books and Perfect Works are the best, really good quality when it
comes both to the art and the books itself, material it is printed on etc. But then there is the “artbooks” that go deeper in
the story and answers some of the questions left after the games like (again) Perfect Works, ODM and the two
guides for Episode III.
Yes, my trading card sets are complete! It’s a bit messy which cards to include in a “full” set but Episode I has 99 cards
split in normal, rare and special. Then there is 3 special “box” cards that you could only get in the larger booster boxes…
and lastly we have the 3 more Premium cards that I am not 100% sure how you got or if you should include
them at all in this set. So in total 105 Cards exist.
Episode II has 84 cards+ one special and Episode III never got any.
I was a bit confused about the Nakoruru question in the Xeno section, haha, but it only includes the game and a
small figure, my copy is actually for sale if you are interested?
Maybe you missed them but I already have the Emission set, both the separate books and
the rare box set that includes all three!

Hello Opkij86, I want to ask a few questions. I will be happy if you answer them; I decided to focus the core parts of Xenosaga; the video games, art books and guides, music.
– Do the outer files have music tracks or like a drama cd?
– I totally skipped the animation; it is like insulting the series; bad writing, bad voice acting, bad art, but the music seems fine, you agree? I might to buy the anime ost.
– Do you know pure image form of this cover, without titles on it? https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00FC6VI7Q/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1J06A6XZBXUA8&coliid=I2OOHYG0HJ9SUB

Hi! Thanks for asking and that is how my collection started as well, with the games, then soundtracks,
guides and artbooks… now look at it, hehe.
-The Outer files are drama CDs, they actually have some interesting story and hopefully we will see a full
fan translation some day.
-Haha, I am not that hard on the anime but compared to game it is of course a joke. Even if it has the basic
Xenosaga story it is quite far from being my favorite anime. It does have a few great tracks and the OST is
quite cheap.
-I love that art but sadly there is no “pure” version. It should be possible to recreate it however since
both the Shion and KOS-MOS art exist elsewhere.
-I do have extra copies of the limited versions of the soundtracks to sell but they might be a bit expensive,
just let me know if they are of interest! Also which region of the game are you looking for?
Thanks!

Hi, fantastic collection!, I can’t believe all the amazing Xeno stuff you have, that is true dedication and must have cost you a fortune and happy to see the most underrated part Xenosaga getting so much love. One question tho why did you not add anything from the Xenoblades? I know the first game was originally a standalone but Takakshi fully converted it into the whole overall series and went around full circle with the addition of X and Blade 2 through thematic lore elements, philosophy and the X prefix. So I would have figured it deserved a spot even though it uses a more of a fantasy- sci-fi mix then the previous Xeno games.

I’m surprised that I don’t get the Xenoblade question more often, I have of course played the games and I do have a few of the items but I’m not collecting them at the moment. I will write a longer post about the Blade games someday but I really wish that they would have kept the original name / title (Monado: Beginning of the World) and not reuse so many ideas from Xenogears and Saga…
Anyway, if I ever manage to complete the collection I might go for the Blade items as well, they are luckily much fewer!

I for one am glad they did it, it was interesting to see them a take different approach with the blade games for the series and I have enjoyed them all quite a bit. They still feel very much like Xeno games to me like intended.

Hello! This collection is wild, I’m a bit envious! I’m a fairly new fan of the Xeno series. I got Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition about a year ago, and since then I’ve either played or watched playthroughs of every Xeno game except Xenoblade Chronicles X. Right now I can’t afford it, but in the future I would love to collect a lot of the action figures, art books, CDs, etc. Though unfortunately, these things tend to become more expensive over time. One thing I wanted to ask about is the absence of Xenoblade from your collection. Do you not have an interest in collecting Xenoblade collectibles? Also, what websites would you recommend for finding Xeno merchandise? Would Amazon and eBay be good, or are there better options?

Hello! It sounds like you had a busy year then, haha. As you might expect I’m a bigger fan
of Saga and Gear but I do have a few items from Blade too, just not enough to show of or

Most items are indeed going up in price, or just becomes impossible to find… I felt like I
was late to the party when I started collecting in 2006 but now I see a lot of people like you,
coming from Xenoblade and wanting to collect for the older games too.
I would call any site that sells Xeno items good, haha. But ebay is always relevant since it
has sellers from all over the world. For Japanese items Yahoo auctions is a good place to
check but very few ship worldwide so you more or less need a proxy which of course
raises the prices and hassle. Checking with other collectors is probably a good idea too,
I still have lots of duplicates to sell and I know its true for others as well.

Considering that you had a 16-year headstart, I’m sure it’ll be much more difficult and expensive for me depending on how much I collect. I won’t be trying to collect as much as you (that may not even be possible now anyway), but I’d certainly love to acquire a sizeable collection someday.

Hi Jayden. I have also started collecting recently as well and yes it is quite an expensive hobby. However, it is one I enjoy immensely. I also started buying the Xenoblade definitive edition back in 2020 and my love for the series as a whole grew from there. I’ve collected Xenogears, Saga, Blade as a whole. In terms of purchasing Xeno items, as Richard said, eBay is your safest and best option, however, I also use a Japanese Proxy called Sendico, however they can be a bit dear sometimes as they have a 500 yen purchase fee on all items. I may have a few extra duplicates coming in the coming few months, so if you’d like more than happy to get in touch with you.
Also, Richard, I have a question if that is ok. I have a pretty decent collection at this point and I just want to share it with people, not for any gain but just for the appreciation of the series. I was thinking of perhaps starting a website like yours but I have no idea where to start. Any points or suggestions would be awesome if that is ok with you.
Regards

Great to see I’m not alone, and thank you for the tips. I may take you up on that offer, though it depends partially on how soon we’re talking. Right now I can’t really afford to buy anything, but in maybe half a year or so, I should be better off to start collecting. If you still have any duplicates at that point, I may be able to buy some then.

Hello!
I find it a bit funny and nice that you turned this into a mini forum, haha.
I’m no expert at all when it comes to sites/blogs etc. I just started this
one for free years ago, spent a few days learning how things worked and
since then I have been very lazy on updating or changing the design…
I do however pay around 80euro/dollar a year to add some more storage,
remove ads and have a shorter url these days.
Just yesterday I saw a “tumblr blog” that I think looked simple and great
for displaying pictures so maybe that is a format to look into?
Either way, I look forward to seeing your collection in the future,
not a small task to collect for all three series!

Hey I was wondering if you still have the Momo blanket available for sale. Also I love your collection, I find myself going back here every couple of months. You inspired me to start collecting Xenosaga merch, I’ve loved the games since I was 6.

Wow, 6 years old is quite early to find the series, haha! As always I am happy to hear that the site
fills its purpose of inspiring and spreading info about Xeno merch. Sadly nothing on this page is
for sale, there is a imgur link with the items I have for sale but no Momo blanket. It is very rare
but I will let you know if I see one for sale!

Hey there boss! I’m really curious on the huge T-elos poster from Xenosaga III. As far as I can see, only one has ever sold on ebay, and beyond that I don’t know much about it other than the fact that it is 60 x 48 inches.
I would greatly appreciate any measurement you could give, and I would love to know where you had to preorder the game, or how you could get it back when Saga III launched.
Thanks,

Love your collection. I found out that Wayo records is releasing a Xenosaga Piano Collection very soon. They do a great job with their releasing so i would recommend you check it out. If your lucky they may even release a limit music box.
