Xenogears, the cult classic 1998 PS1 RPG by Squaresoft, has always held a special place in my heart as an RPG that raised the bar for storytelling in video games. Unfortunately, little Xenogears merchandise exists, and that which does exist is poorly documented.
Naturally, then, this collection piqued my curiosity. In addition to the game itself, it includes a broad array of items – the arranged “Creid” version of the OST, the Xenogears Perfect Works art/lore book, posters, comic anthologies, a piano book, and more. You’ll never likely see so many Xenogears items in one place again, due to the game’s growing obscurity.
