  • The Absence of Love and Hopes of Shion Uzuki in the Xenosaga Trilogy
    The Absence of Love and Hopes of Shion Uzuki in The Xenosaga Trilogy Djajadi, L.1 and Limanta, L. S.2 1,2English Department, Faculty of Letters, Petra Christian University Siwalankerto 121-131, Surabaya 60236, East Java, Indonesia e-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Among video games, The Xenosaga Trilogy is widely recognized due to its complex storyline. The psychological struggle of the main character, Shion Uzuki, is one of the aspects that drives the story from the beginning up to its conclusion. Despite her seemingly bright personality, Shion has an absence of love and hopes, as she lives her life monotonously without any set goal. It later leads her to develop a strong attachment to KOS-MOS, an android. As such, in this study, we want to analyze the reasons Shion has the absence of love and hopes in the first place and the ways she struggles to recover from that absence. In order to answer these questions, we use 3 psychological theories, namely Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Transference, and Countertransference. We find out that Shion’s absence of love and hopes is apparently caused by her traumatic past and her PTSD. As a unconscious response to this, Shion tries to recover by using transference. This attempt fails, but Shion is finally healed thanks to KOS-MOS’ countertransference. In conclusion, Shion fully recovers from her traumatic past and PTSD because of KOS-MOS’ countertransference instead of her own transference. Key words: Video Games, Xenosaga Trilogy, PTSD, Transference, Countertransference INTRODUCTION A video game, in its essence, is “a game which we play thanks to an audiovisual apparatus and which can be based on a story” (Esposito, 2005, p.

  • Sekai-Kei As Existentialist Grand Narrative
    Sekai-kei as Existentialist Narrative: Positioning Xenosaga within the Genre Framework. THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stefanie Thomas, B.A. Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2014 Committee: Dr. Kerim Yasar, Advisor Dr. Richard E. Torrance Copyright by Stefanie Thomas 2014 Abstract The term sekai-kei (“world-type”), a genre of subcultural narrative whose defining characteristic is the omission of a mediating social dimension between individual characters and an apocalyptic large-scale situation, has come to be used as a tool of cultural criticism pertaining to young adults of the mid-90s to the mid-2000s. Within this critical discourse, the exclusion of society in such works is frequently connected with the rise of problematic phenomena within Japan while the genre was at the height of its popularity, among them the increase in hikikomori (“shut-ins”) and youths not seeking careers or education. Critics claim in this context that sekai-kei narratives affirm social withdrawal and refusal of maturity, citing the postmodernist loss of a shared societal “grand narrative” as being evident in these works. In this study, I will examine the definitive sekai-kei narratives Saishū heiki kanojo (“Final weapon girlfriend”), Iriya no sora, UFO no natsu (“Iriya’s sky, summer of UFOs”), and Hoshi no koe (“Voice of a star/Star’s voice”) alongside the sekai-kei prototype Shin seiki evangerion (“Gospel of a new century”/Neon Genesis Evangelion), utilizing an existentialist hermeneutic approach, and demonstrate that these narratives unanimously reject withdrawal.

Hirohide Sugiura (CEO) said in a May 2003 interview that this transition had everything to do with both Monolith's structure and where they wanted to take the Xenosaga series in the future. He had begun to feel that game creators were getting older and there weren't many younger ones coming out and if that keeps up, we'd never see a shift to a new generation, which he didn't think was healthy from an industry standpoint. So he decided to change the structure starting with Monolith Soft, his own company. He wanted to free Takahashi of his old position and let him work more freely as a creator and act more as the supervisor and provider of the original story.
