Does anyone know if there is going to be a Xenosaga Official Design Materials for Episode II, as there was for I? I have epi I's, and I'm DYING for epi II's.

If anyone knows if they are going to put one out or if they already have, please tell me! Links would be nice too!

I think the closest thing to an ODM that's out/has been announced for episode 2 is "Xenosaga Episode II: The Complete Graphics" It's a very nice hard-bound book full of images from the game (I got myself a copy, I'd scan it but truthfully we've seen about 75% of the artwork before and the other 24% just isn't worth scanning unless you're really into the enemy design and the remaining 1% is new character art, but I didn't want to ruin the binding in the book just to scan a few little things -- I might get around to it eventually though). As I mentioned in my last parenthetical statement, there's not a whole lot in it that we haven't seen before, but it's a very nice book none the less (all of the images are of supurb quality and it looks pretty in general). I haven't heard anything about a "true" ODM for episode 2, but it could deffinantly use one.

I'm thinking MAYA was used in some area's... MAYA is really popular especially with Square-enix, that's where the majority of their games are developed from. And not only that alot of game companies do build their own software.
Oh... MAYA is for digital design, not like battle systems and stuff.

Did you hear about the FFXII Battle System? It's like an Online Battling, but the logic drive is completely different. It runs like Online Battling but it's outfitted so that the enemies and stuff are all programmed. You can see and encounter the enemies on the map just like Online Battling! Well... *blush* This is not Xenosaga-ish, I just thought the FFXII Battle system was intriguing because it's the first of it's kind.

oh; thank you! Can you please tell me where to get it?? ( I mostly want it for references for future cosplays; but I love seeing the art and designs as well)

I got my copy on ebay. I think the seller I got it from is out of stock now (I've seen others selling it recently though). I'm sure it's available from some other sites, I can't think of which off the top of my head (I haven't really looked since I found it quickly on ebay). Sorry if that wasn't much help.
