Oh thanks a lot Ikuzo.
If you could, would you translate what it says about the Anima Containers and E.S. Simeon, under Mechanics.

Also when you click on World & Story, and there are 2 links that says New, I'm very much interested in what it says on those two pages, because I have seen that trailer so I'm very curious as to what it's all about.

Thanks a lot. ^_^

Still haven't checked it all since I can't read Japanese

Some translations would be good ;)

MECHANICS

ES SERIES AND AMWS

E.S. Series is a weapon system equipped with a completely different ability to the previous AGWS.

In the world of Xenosaga, weapon system known as the AWMS is widely used in battles. The AGWS from the previous episode is a miniaturized modification to the AMWS for the battle against Gnosis. (That is why AMWS and ES is bigger than AGWS)

AGWS itself can't be said to be disposed enough in terms of cost and general use, which is the reason why AMWS is used in battles other than those against the Gnosis. Having said the difference between AGWS and AMWS, ES Series on the other hand is even more powerful than AMWS. Its true capacity lies beneath yet another secret...

REALISATION OF E.S ASHEL

Inside a weapon factory at Vector ---. A massive humanoid weapon is being built under a strict security. Its name, "ES Ashel" reflects off the metalic blue body. Its appearance takes shape as its parts are put together one after another. And then like a solemn, a strange object with a dim glow is inserted into its spinal shield armor

--- "Anima's Vessel" ---.

What is Anima's Vessel?
It's a mysterious object discovered around the same time as Zohal. Shaped like a brain, Anima's Vessel is adapted to the ES armor for it to operate as a weapon system. But they're unsure if it can even be used as a weapon. Everything is unknown about the Anima's Vessel, including its true purpose.

WORLD & STORY

Wow, thanks Ikuzo. ^_^
That sounds really interesting. I always wondered what those AMWS were. I always thought they were the same thing as the E.S. Series.
This is begining to sound like Gears and Omnigears to me.

Thanks again ^_^

*is waiting for the edit* ^^;;

I wondered why the name, Albedo, was in Xenosaga and now Anima. Both names were used in FFX. Kinda weird... o_o

I can't read Japanese so i can't enjoy the good things in that site.

I guess because xenosaga is still after all related to Square though another company takes the job.

Wow thanks Ikuzo ^__^
I'm wondering if you could translate the other page as well when you have time?
That's actually the one I'm interested in. it speaks a bit of the story and Rubedo and Albedo. I always wondered how he was before he became insane.

You can find the page right here. <--- Click ^^

Thanks. ^_^

Albedo, in his childhood, used to be shy and easily frightened. He always followed Jr.'s back where ever he went.

But one day, Albedo shot his own head with a gun in front of Jr. and the others to show them his extraordinary ability to regenerate. Jr. watched and then thew his fist at Albedo in anger. Albedo soon discovers that his ability to regenerate is no other than his own and falls in a deep anxiety and fear, even to estrange from others.

From that day when he realised he cannot die, he slowly began to lean towards insanity.

That's....amazing...o.o'
I would NEVER have guessed that those abilities were his own from way back before he got into contact with U-DO. That's so strange, and extremely interesting to me.
Does it say anything else on that page? Like about the Yuriev center when they are in those tubes, and when Jr is talking to Sakura?
And below that, is Albedo again..
You can just sum it down if you want, I just want to know the basics on whats going on there. ^^;;

And yet again, thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it. ^__^

It says that Albedo turned insane after he made contact with U-DO, but from his childhood, he felt lonely because he was different to all the toher URTVs, having the ability to regenerate and unable to die etc... That plust the U-DO made him insane.

Jr. and Sakura meets inside the Encephalon. One day Jr. and Sakura makes a promise....

The last one talks about Jin having met with Chaos back in miltia. He feels that Chaos has been living for several 100 years....

EDIT: I got the media player 9 working, but I have a narrowband connection so I couldn't watch the movies in Another Story :( If you could get me screenshots of the dialogues, I can translate them for you
