As you can tell, I'm a huge Xenosaga fan. I've seen the Anime, and have played all the games they have released...well, not all the games, because I'm still trying to learn more Japanese so I can't yet play XenoFreaks. Ah well.
chaos is my favorite character, and I doubt that anyone could change that. Rubedo and Albedo come in a close second. And Nigredo...I've begun to call him Degrade-o. That's what I get for reading Video Game Recaps.
Anyone have the XenoSaga the Animation soundtrack? My favorite song is "In this Serenity" by Mayumi Gojo. You should go download it. I believe it's on Reality Lapse dot com, as well as ALL TWELVE episodes of XENOSAGA THE ANIMATION
I LOVE YAOI!
I would list my favorite pairings, but you'll find out about them if I leave you a review or something. If you want me to read your story, or to give you an oppinion on it, then E-mail me. I could always use an e-mail. I may not be too good with grammar, and in some cases spelling, but I know what I like.
Anyways, I think I'll list some quotes down. You might enjoy them, you might now. I don't care. I'm putting them down for my own enjoyment.
"When you have lost sight of the path, when you have become lost in life, seek information. Information will surely give you a glimmer of hope. Seek, or you will not be granted what it is you are looking for. There is no shame in asking for information. ... Incidentally, you must not ask me, as I know nothing. I take pride in knowing nothing at all." - Woglinde crewmember, Xenosaga I
"There are those who draw well, and those who run fast. Hammer's navigational skills are top-notch, and his knowledge of the Net is vast. Tony's helmsmanship skills are unrivaled. No one even comes close. ...Or so he claims. The Captain... Well, no one holds a greater amount of debt than the Captain." - chaos, Xenosaga I
"KOS-MOS...I ought to put you on a diet!" - Shion Uzuki
"Is that why you gave me this PT cartridge? I mean... Do you have any idea what this thing is?" - Shion Uzuki
"Of course!... Or so I like to claim, but I actually just transfered in, so I'm not really sure." - Miyuki Itsumi

Game Quotes
"Snake... we're not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing... the only thing I was good at. But at least... I always fought for what I believed in." - Ninja/Grey Fox
"I was born on a battlefield. Raised on a battlefield. Gunfire, sirens and screams... they were my lullabies... Hunted like dogs day after day... driven from our ragged shelters... That... was my life. Each morning, I'd wake up... and find a few more of my family or friends dead beside me. I'd stare at the morning sun...and pray to make it through the day. The governments of the world turned a blind eye to our misery. But then... he appeared. My hero... Saladin... he took me away from all that... " - Sniper Wolf
"Enemy? We were together for 10 years, and now you tell me she's my enemy?" - Snake/Jack

"I believe because I have to. Even if it is a lie. That's part of my mission." - Snake/Jack
"Just because soldiers are on the same side right now doesn't mean they always will be. Having personal feelings about your comrades is one the worst sins you can commit.

"There's a world of difference between this country and America. But it's only a difference of position. A difference of perspective. Coming here made me realize something. Half of what I'd been told was a complete and utter lie... the other half was a conveniently constructed lie." -Eve
"Snake, history will never know what she The Boss did. Her story, her debriefing, will endure only in your heart - She was a real hero. She was a true patriot." - Eve
"It doesn't feel right to shoot an unarmed man... but I'll get over it." - Ocelot
"The moment you close your eyes on the battlefield is the moment you never open them again." - The End
"You will be killed by your own sons." - The Sorrow
"Sad... so sad... a host of sorrows. And you are one of them." - The Sorrow

Sigint: Uh, Snake... What are you doing?
Snake: I'm in a box.
Sigint: A cardboard box? Why are you...?
Snake: I dunno. I was just looking at it and I suddenly got this urge to get inside. No, not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.
Sigint: Destiny...?
Snake: Yeah. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can't put it into words. I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I'd found the key to true happiness.
Sigint: ...
Snake: Does any of that make sense?
Sigint: Not even a little.
Snake: You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean.
Sigint: Man, I don't wanna know what you mean! Between you and Para-Medic, is everyone but me that is hooked up with the Major strange?
Snake: ...
Sigint: Yeah, well, anyway, I suppose even that dumbass box might make a decent disguise if you wear it inside a building.
Sigint: Snake, what's up? Why are you naked? I know there's a "NAKED" option under "UNIFORM" that lets you take off the upper part of your uniform. But without a shirt on, your camouflage sucks, and your stamina goes down faster. You don't get any advantages whatsoever.
Snake: Sure there are.
Sigint: Like what?
Snake: It feels good.
Sigint: ...Man, you do whatever you want.
Snake: I will, thanks. Just one question, though.
Sigint: What?
Snake: Is there a way to take off my pants?
Sigint: Say WHAT?
Snake: My pants, can I...
Sigint: Ah, hell no! This FOX unit is a nut fest!
Para-Medic: Snake, have you ever seen "007: From Russia with Love?"
Snake: I don't like those movies. Real spies are nothing like James Bond. It's pure fantasy.
Para-Medic: Snake, I don't think the Major's going to like you saying that.
Snake: And even though it's fiction, I can't help but comparing myself to Bond.
Zero: What exactly don't you like about James Bond? Is it the fantastic gadgets? The cars? The guns?
Snake: Major...!
Zero: Snake, wouldn't you like to have a gun shaped like a pen?
Snake: What good is a pen going to do me in the jungle? I'd look like a fool.
Zero: Then what about a snake-shaped gun? You could make it look like you're grappling with a giant snake and then get a shot in on the enemy while they're distracted.
Snake: OK, now you're being ridiculous.
Zero: We'll make you a snake-shaped gun that folds up and fits into an attache case.
Snake: Will you give it rest?
Zero: Oh, I get it. You're worried about how to handle the ladies, aren't you?
Snake: No...
Zero: I knew it. Hmm... to tell you the truth, I don't like the idea of playing hanky-panky with enemy femme fatales, either. But that's part of Bond's appeal. You could learn a thing or two from him. What about this Eva? What are you planning to do with her?
Snake: I... I don't even trust her yet.
Zero: That's what I mean. You can't let yourself get involved. This is a game of spy versus spy. She's using you just as much as you're using her.
Snake: I realize that.
Zero: You've got to grab the initiative. And to do that, you've got to get the upper hand in the relationship. That's what a spy is supposed to do.
Snake: Get the upper hand... I don't think I'm cut out for that mission.
Zero: Maybe if you changed your code name to Double-O-Snake?
Snake: Major...
Zero: 007 is the biggest thing to come out of England since the Mayflower. I wouldn't be surprised if they made 20 more of those movies.
Para-Medic: Didn't you know? The Major is a huge James Bond fan. Don't get him worked up like this.
Snake: Worked up?
Para-Medic: Maybe you don't realize this, but now that you've got him started talking aboutBond, I'm going to have to listen to him lecture for a whole hour after he gets off the radio.
Snake: You have my sympathy.
Para-Medic: It's too bad you can't enjoy such a great movie, though.
Snake: I guess I'm just one of those people who can't enjoy spy flicks.
Snake: This is Snake. I've made it to the sneaking point.
Campbell: You're right on time, Snake.
Snake: For being dragged out of the sack at two in the morning, I did my best.
Campbell: Rise and shine. Don't you love mornings!
Snake: Colonel... Nobody loves being dragged away from their vacation.
Campbell: I'm sorry but we needed you. Something big is going down... very big. That's why...
Snake: Alright, so what is this important mission? I'll say it once and only once... I'm not taking out any Metal Gears.
Campbell: Don't worry.
Snake: And no saving some VIP or old man.
Campbell: It's nothing like that.
Snake: If it's a hot damsel in distress, I'll think about it.
Campbell: Well, it's not quite a... hot damsel in distress... but it is a rescue mission.
Snake: Rescuing who?
Campbell: Apes.
Snake: ...
Campbell: ...
Snake: What?
Campbell: Monkey! But not just any monkeys.
Snake: You said monkeys?
Campbell: Just listen. Your mission is to infiltrate the jungle and capture all of the monkeys.
Snake: Again, you said monkeys?
Campbell: Yes, monkeys.
Snake: This isn't really my thing... If you want your monkeys, you better get Spike or Jimmy.
Campbell: Unfortunately, they weren't available.
Snake: What about me? I was on vacation!
Campbell: Snake, we need you. If you don't do this, who will?
Snake: It's not like someone else couldn't handle a stealth mission.
Campbell: Don't say that. This is the genre we turned over every leaf in.
Snake: Why don't you make Sam or Gabe do the job?
Campbell: Snake...
Snake: Isn't this just some monkey catching action?
Campbell: Snake, I'm asking you. It's a request from the Professor himself.
Snake: THE Professor...? Natalie's grandfather?
Campbell: That's the one.
Snake: The one who came up with the monkey helmet?
Campbell: Well, that was the Professor's classmate.
Snake: His classmate?
Campbell: From high school. Not only that, but the Professor is a friend of Otacon's.
Snake: He's Otacon's friend, too?
Campbell: It's because of the Professor that Otacon has been able to come up with some of his inventions.
Snake: ...Alright... what are the details?
Campbell: So you'll do it, great!
Snake: I'm not against some "monkey catching." But I'd rather be collecting pants.
Snake: from inside a locker "This reminds me of when we first met."
Otacon: "I was inside the locker that time. We're equal now, huh?"
Snake: "Not unless I wet my pants."
Otacon: "That's a low blow, Snake."
"Life isn't just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and movies... what we've seen, heard, felt ...anger, joy and sorrow... these are the things I will pass on. That's what I live for. We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end some time, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing." - Snake

Great Stories:
Xeno Meet Fuedal, by kikyogirl900
I really enjoyed this story. I'll admit it doesn't have the greatest grammar usage in the world, and some things are a little off, but just the idea is great!
A New Survivor by AnGeL70
I love Shadow Hearts, and Final Fantasy X was a great FF. I enjoyed this story simply because it's a crossover of two great games. It does have its moments, but all in all I enjoy it. I'm quite disappointed that it hasn't been updated in awhile...
Silver and Cold by Amy-Quartz-Rose
I wish this story was updated. I remember reviewing for Chapter 1 and seeing Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 appear right before my eyes.The idea of this story was truly inviting, albiet a little confusing.
Cold Alchemy by panmotto
I wish this story was updated -- and fast! It's funny, quirky, and yet incredably realistic. These characters are OOC at times, but it's regarding the situation, and I find it completely hilarious!
Goodnight until Tomorrow by NoisyNinja2071
I think this story was awesome. At parts I was like, "Ugh..." simple because some of it didn't seme right to me, but I think overall it's a good story.
Revelation by Death-Angel-Hikari
This story was GREAT, despite the fact it was a cheap rip from The Boy Called It. It had its moments, and I find it more overwhelming because I see Kai in the same spots as Dave.
Trying To Get Home by Wren Rainsair
I think the overall rating for this story would be 7/10, mostly because the chapters are short and some characters are a bit OOC. Plus, she has her own OC in it, although it's the evil character.
I wanna go home! by TriggerHappy777
This must be the BEST Sucked In fanfiction of all time, as it sports over 700 reviews. It's truly an inspiration to other writers who have "sucked in" fics.
Fleeting Hope by AmberKomasaki
Inspired me to create my own Yuu Yuu Hakusho/Kingdom Hearts crossover. This story, despite the fact it's old, was something I could read over and over again. I really recommend it.
Saga of Hearts by Daemen Reisho
A GREAT Xenosaga crossover story, featuring Kingdom Hearts. I just wished the chapters were longer and it was updated more, or at least moved a little fast ('cuz one whole chapter could just be for a small chat outside Sakura's house, so there really is no development...)
Ripples in a Pond by A-chan5
The best FFVIII/FFIX crossover I've ever read, but that might not mean much because there aren't that many... Anyways, despite the fact it says "yaoi in further chapters" the story shows nothing as of yet, which is ok for me, and great for any non-yaoi fans. I hope the reviews come quicker for her and the chapters come quicker for us readers.
And that's most of them. Sorry if your stuff isn't up here. It's either because I lost sight of it or I lost interest in it. Or maybe I just passed through it. I still read everything in my Favorite's List, which is where I'm getting my stuff. These are just my topc picks. So, update your story and we'll see where it goes.
Coming soon:
A "story quotes" section, where I'll fature quotes that I got from the many stories on FanFiction.net
Chapter 3 of "In This Serenity Episode I"
