TECHNOBABBLE: THE JRPG (Xenosaga Pied Piper)

I’m glad the Jr. part is nearly entirely a story about everyone shitting on Allen, mostly just for the sake of it and less for the fact that him fucking up is the reason everything happens here.

So I think I was close with the theory that Allen was trying to put a cat girl mod on his favorite video game but accidentally put it on KOS-MOS, except it sounds like it was just flat out a corrupted porn file of some kind.

Xenosaga Pied Piper Or: What am I even doing with my life at this point?

So what is this anyway?

Xenosaga: Pied Piper is a mobile phone game released in 2004 in Japan as a side story from the main trilogy as a way to flesh out one of the main characters, in this case, Ziggy. It takes place 100 years before the events of Xenosaga 1, and chronicles his journey to track down the cyber-terrorist known only as Voyager.

So how are you going to be playing this?

I’m not.

Wait, what?

The thing is, it’s basically impossible to play this game anymore, as this is about as inaccessible as you can get. However, there is one remaining part of this game that has survived, and that’s a script covering the main scenes in the game. No optional dialogue, just the main story. I originally planned to just draw stick figures for screenshots but I think that would get old very fast. So instead, I’m going to do something different. I’m going to turn this into audio drama. And that is where you all reading this come in.

As much as I would love to do every single voice and butcher every woman’s dialogue horribly, I think it would be more interesting to get the subforum involved and cast out the roles. Since the script has fallen into the web archive, I’d like to preserve this in whatever way I can.

I have a Google doc that explains the roles and rules in further detail here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18xCFr1vSRMHlsb9cQmCFj8_-uASDcsOP7xidChg4CEA/edit?usp=sharing

Good luck with bringing this thing to life, I don’t have any sort of microphone so I got nothing to contribute.

Alright, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here hasn’t it? Auditions have been closed, parts have been casted. I’m working right now on laying the groundwork for the first update. It’ll be a short one, but it’ll give you all a feel for how this will be structured. I’m really looking forward to bringing this to life.

It’s finally time! Time to post the first part of this thing! I know it took a while to get going but it should proceed slightly smoother now.

Part 1: Prologue

Pick your preference here. No difference between the YouTube video and the Tindeck links besides credits in the video description.

Hey there. Was just wondering how this project is doing. Is it dead, or are you still at it?
Love your Xenosaga Ep. 1 and 2 LPs (must have watched them at least 3 times by now) and I’m really looking forward to Ep. 3 and the rest of this audio drama.

The audio drama is canned. It was just too much of a pain in the ass to get together.

As for Ep 3? It’s definitely something I want to do, but I want to do it right. Go out with a bang, you know. I ended up getting Sony Vegas for the sole purpose of doing this LP, but doing the things I want to do with it, I have no clue how to do, and I can’t really find good learning tools.
