PS1 Xenogears: Perfect Works Build (USA) PSX ISO

[RageBurner]

An extensive hack of Xenogears that aims to improve several areas of the game for a better experience.

Author(s): NoharOSP
Version: 0.6.1
Date: 18th of May, 2025
Status: Incomplete, in active development
Source: https://github.com/NoharOSP/Perfect_Works_Build


RB's Notes: As stated, this is incomplete from a script standpoint, save for terminology standardization. Currently this will be most useful for the QoL aspect, of which this particular iteration contains the following:

• Combat flash removal
• Halved encounter rate
• Gold gain increased by 50%
• Terminology standardization
• Fast text rendering
• Battle voices and FMV undubbing

Dam i really wanted to enjoy this game. Disc 1 was great but then disc 2 dumped so much storyline on me that i couldn’t wrap me head around what was happening. Made it to the end of the came and honestly gave up before completing it. Started playing breath of fire instead

If only someone could remake the second disc.

Is this compatible with original game save files or do I have to start from scratch?

They also offer a patch with only the bug fixes for those who don't need the other changes: https://github.com/NoharOSP/Perfect_Works_Build?tab=readme-ov-file#bug-fixes

Sorry, it was a joke cause Billy got touched.. a lot

"Fast text rendering" is interesting.
I already got the GameShark code for instant text/dialogue.
It's a really game changer for this game.
Consider me interested as I'm waiting for this version to complete.

From the github page:

Oh and I've been following this project for about 2 years now, so I feel I should mention that it's taken that long to go from around 40% to 80% story completion according to the README's history on github.

Definitely going to be the best way to play Xenogears going forward.

 

[sander798]

how much of the script has been touched?

From the github page:

• Name/terminology changes: 100%
• Main script: 80% (finished Anima Dungeon 2)
• NPC script: Not done (except for name/terminology changes)

Much needed hack, I've been playing Xenogears on OG hardware and even if the game is superb on every field, the encounter rate makes the whole experience atrocious. Godspeed NoharOSP

 

[Sir rookie]

Keep going!

Next time I play Xenogears, this is probably how I will do it.

Audibly gasped at the sight of Xenogears, awesome. Thanks for the upload

Played Xenoblade 1 earlier this year, while I think the combat system in that game is very flawed it did make me want to check out the rest of the series.

Glad this is here

Thanks for this!
A Xenogears replay is long overdue... I'm very tempted to use this version

I see from their wiki they implemented a ton of changes, in different patches. I assume this RGT iso applies them all?
