Xenosaga: Episode II AMV, "Hold Your Hand"

Post by Kaonashi-kun » Sun Nov 06, 2005 12:09 pm

Hello, I'm new to this site, and this is the first video I've submitted.

Frankly, I didn't even really enjoy Xenosaga II as a game very much, but I thought it provided great material for some AMVs. This video uses footage from mostly the first disc, and doesn't contain any notable spoilers. The song is "Hold Your Hand" by Paul Oakenfold. Overall, it's sort of a melodic techno piece, focusing mostly on action and the characters of Jr. and Chaos.

At some point, I'll probably try to do a more "epic" Xenosaga video that uses more footage, but for now I thought this was a somewhat decent attempt.
Signiature forthcoming! Huzzah!

Well, I haven't played Xenosaga II, but there aren't a whole lot of videos out there to that series, so I downloaded this one. Here's a point-by-point:

(+) Xenosaga. You're right that that game does have many usable scenes, despite how so-so it may be, so it's great to see a video to it.
(+ -) Song choice. I'm not sure what it had to do with the game, but maybe that's because I don't know it.
(+) Not too bad for a first upload. It's not spectacular, but you do have some good beat sync and even some internal sync that I wasn't expecting. This video had a very interesting flow to it. It matched the flow of the song well.
(-) Video quality. Not too great, and the resolution was small. With a game like Xenosaga, where everything just moves, a bigger resolution is better.

All in all, a decent video. It doesn't really pop out from the masses, but it's a nice little thing. I look forward to your next one! ^_^
