[edit] Inaccurate thing

This bit needed some editing:

"Many also complained that the game is shorter than Episode I, despite the game being two-discs long."

That's really misleading & inaccurate.

Xenosaga Episode 1 used one dual-layer DVD, which holds twice as much data as a standard DVD. It was the first PS2 game to use a dual-layer DVD. However, a small number of older-model PS2's sometimes have problems reading dual-layer DVDs if the lasers have started to go bad. Because of the incompatibility issues, Episode 2 was switch to two single-layer DVDs. Two single-layer DVDs hold exactly the same amount of data was one dual-layer DVD, so the fact that Episode 2 was shipped on two discs has nothing to do with the length of the game, as each disc is half the size of Episode 1's dual-layer DVD. I've deleted the "despite the game being two-discs long" bit, because it doesn't make sense based on this information. The trivia about the switch from one dual-layer to two single-layer DVDs might fit elsewhere in one of the Xenosaga articles if anybody feels like incorporating it. Also removed the npov tag from that section since I can't find any discussion about why it's there. If you re-add it, please post something on the talk page about what you think the issues are. 209.128.158.222 07:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Story section

As is the norm for WP:FICT, I created a story section that needs to be trimmed down a bit, relaced by beautiful prose, and wikified. I'll contribute to the enhancement of this section later today. Deckiller 15:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
