About

Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra is a turn-based RPG developed by Monolith Soft and released in 2006 for PlayStation 2, serving as the concluding chapter of the Xenosaga trilogy. The story picks up one year after the events of Episode II, with protagonist Shion having left the corporation Vector Industries upon discovering its involvement in the emergence of the Gnosis. She aligns herself with Scientia, a clandestine organization dedicated to exposing Vector's secrets. The game features over three hours of cinematic cutscenes and introduces a revised battle system alongside an expanded character customization framework that rewards thoughtful party composition and strategic planning. A built-in database called the Xeno Bible provides players with lore reference material, and a separate multi-level mini-game offers additional challenges. The title concludes the overarching narrative that spans the entire Xenosaga series.
