Time of the Bonus 1: Xenogears Demo Disc
Added 2019-10-25 22:02:50 +0000 UTCHello!
The Time of the Bonus is upon us! For October's bonus podcast, we're taking a peek at the Xenogears demo disc that was included with Parasite Eve. This a more off-the-cuff type of podcast where we just turn the mics on, play through the demo, and chat about the differences between the demo and the final game in real time. The format also gave us an opportunity to look back at the early moments of the game with new context from our ongoing playthrough.
Along the way, we discuss some of our ideas and in-development bonus content that you can expect in the future. As we get deeper into the game, expect more deep dives into thematic concepts in the future, but don't rule out the silly stuff, either!
As always, thanks for your patronage. Feedback is welcome in the comments below!

on the topic of file size and what's included. It's probably as much as had to be included without including anything easy to remove, so it's probably the entire world map, lahan, citans house, the forest if you can actually get in there. what is likely to be removed is enemy sprites and models that don't appear in the demo, cutscenes that don't appear and music that doesn't play. also, it popped into my head listening to bart fight those hobs, but after all of citans soul attacking, barts attack animations are my second favorite in the game, which is why Aveh is one of my favorite sequences because I can fight all those low power guards and just enjoy all of barts whip animations.
