Colourbars, and some questions...
Hi everyone. I come with gifts and a few stupid questions. ^^;;

First, some gifts... A few colourbars I made.












Feel free to snag any. You can change the tagline (because mine suck) or do whatever, I don't care. As long as it credits me in some way or links back to this post/my personal LJ/whatever.

Also, I'd appreciate if you upload these to your own place. I'm not going to strict on this as long as my bandwidth doesn't go too high. But it'd be nice if possible, thanks. :D

NOW, I have two questions!

First: I keep seeing this image in layouts and icons and such, but have yet to find the original image. Maybe I'm just blind or stupid or something, I don't know. It's a Xenosaga II image (not a screencap) of Jr. sitting with a cell or something looking up. Or something like that. Yeah. Could anyone be so kind to point me to it? Or better yet, any place that has decent images that are not screencaps (because that's all I seem to be able to find).

Second: I like to watch AMVs and have downloaded pretty much every Xenosaga vid off of AMV.org. Anyway, umm... spoiler I think...SPOILER ALERT!!Anyway, I was saying. Remember that scene in Jr.'s flashbacks of the URTVs at the Yuriev Institute? Remember the scene where Albedo blasts his head off? Yeah. I remember when I played the game, that he used a gun. That scene is also very common in every Jr./Albedo video, and all I have seen but one (can't remember which) it was a gun. But this one video he had a ball of energy instead. END SPOILER Now as far as I'm aware, the Canadian and American releases of games are pretty much identical except for the occasional added French packaging (even though the game is completely English. I really don't get my province.) So I'm wondering was the American version edited? Or was there a later release that had that scene edited? Or is that from some other localisation? Yeah, really stupid question. Not really that important. Just got me curious and now I kinda want to know what's up with that.

Sorry if any or most of this post is incoherent. O.o (I lack sleep...)

I can't help you with the first question, but for the second, in the American version he did use a ball of energy. Strange...I thought the American/Canadian versions were the same too. O_o

Really? Because I clearly remember my version having the gun. Unless I'm mistaken, but I'm pretty sure I'm right because I remember thinking, "wow, I'm surprised that scene wasn't edited" when I played that scene. Also, being very confused when I saw that video with the ball of energy. Now I'm really confused! O.o Maybe because mine is the Quebec version? Or maybe there was a re-release shortly after it went on sale? Now I'm really curious.

i live in Alberta and eh i just finished EPII actually. I recall the scene having a ball of energy, and i have seen screenshots of the one with the gun. Well, I got my copy right before the prices dropped to $29 so perhaps it's a later released copy? I don't know...but it definately is a Canadian version because it came with a French manual.

Oh, I wasn't saying yours wasn't a Canadian version or anything. ^^;;

I think they might have released later copies with it edited. I think I got mine right when it came out (well, my boyfriend bought it, minor detail). I'm thinking maybe some parent complained and they changed it right away. That or they did a last minute edit and some non-edited copies ended up making it into stores anyway. Who knows. *shrugs*

I guess I should just be happy that I have an unedited version. :D

well i thought that it might be different...like how Quebec is sometimes excluded for certain things and what not. Is there a French version of the game? :O~~ i'd want one lol.

I think the American version should be the same? i found some clips of the scene online a while ago and it's a ball of energy.

EPI was edited too i believe... :3 ahh ... censorship.

I'm not too sure actually. I'm surprised I rarely come across French games. That's why I never understood the new law for having to have the French packaging or it can't be sold here (though some places sell these games anyway). I don't see the point 'cause it's like, the game is in English. O.o The French kids would have to understand English anyway to play it, so why bother? */rant*

Usually it is the same. Hence my confusion.

Wha? Really? What did they edit out of epI? Censorship makes me sad. :(

you mean this one? Sitting on the Asher and holding a harmonica.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Hopefully that works, for one. Um... that has been the only version I can find of it, and it's not very good quality :/

And, this site has a bunch of images that are sorta uploaded randomly... I wish they had all the images up from the books, bleh.

AND... I think I'm going to take all those colorbars... not sure which (or all) to use XD

*whoa disconnected, hope this posts this time*

On-topic: About your second question, I wasn't even aware of that edit (?). I'm assuming there's an edit in the American version, too, now. But yea, I've seen caps of Albedo using a gun.

Off-topic: Your music... is that the same Spread Beaver that has that shirt...?? Or have I misread that?

The American version was edited. Albedo blew his head off with a ball of energy even though the JP version wasn't even that graphic. It's odd that would show up in a Canadian-released game, because since NA is both the US and Canada, the localization wouldn't be any different.

I got mine the minute it came out. Definatly edited. And there's no way you could be playing a JP one...

That's why I'm confused. Unless I got mixed up which is entirely possible considering it's been a while since I played the game. I've always just remembered it as the gun. Stupid censorship confusing me. >.<

Now I want to play my copy again to find out if I'm crazy or if my copy is something from the twilight zone. O.o (though I'm starting to get convinced that I'm just crazy, considering I've already lost what little sanity I have left)

Oh! Did you get the icons I made you? I posted them as a reply in the thread of my icon post... err *checks* here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/xeno_icons/33679.html?thread=159119#t159119

I would say you've seen the JP scene, then played the NA version, and probably have gotten the two mixed up, since you have said it's been a while you've played the game.

Yeah I got the icons <3 Much love, thank you! I may ask you for a Wilhelm colorbar later on xD >D

Could be. I have a bad habit of blocking out things I don't like. ^^;;

Yay! I'm glad you liked them. ^^ And sure, I'll keep that in mind the next time I make some colourbars. ;)

Heh, snagged the colorbars, changing the tagline on the last one.

And yeah, I had heard that all the American versions, at least, were edited to replace the gun with a ball of energy. Maybe it isn't true, but it is certainly what I was led to believe.

Someone already posted it, but if you have a better version, I'd love you forever! *because I want to drool over it make pretty graphics with it* :D
