Hello! Elendraug invited me over from AO3.

Name: Reizna/Circe (I will response to either)
Pronouns: she/her
Favorite Xeno Character: I LOVE CANAAN :love:, KOS-MOS, chaos and Gaignun

I'm currently replaying the Xenosaga series on my Twitch channel via a capture card, an Upscaler and my OG copies, I dove back into my love for it. I beat Episode I last month and am about to finish Episode II soon! Once I get through II, I plan on watching A Missing Year and Episode III before diving into Xenogears. Other likes outside the Xenosaga series include playing the Final fantasy series. I am a FFXIV addict; I recently made a Canaan alt too. (Any FFXIV players in here too?)

I'm here to meet more Xenosaga fans and hope to find fellow Canaan fans. I'm also currently working on pieces of fanfiction. It's super self indulgent Canaan/OC works.

Anyway, It's nice to meet you all! Thank you for reading!
 
Nice to meet you! I also like chaos.hmmm, I don't seem to have that much memory of canaan, I just remember him saving Jr with chaos, and then dying with voyeger in xs3.
 
Nice to meet you too! I have a tendency to zero in on side NPCs or characters with minor roles. He's got a small role in II but I was always excited to see him 😂
 
Heyo, welcome! Canaan's one of my underrated favorites, too--NPCs and side characters always deserve more love, and his backstory is really interesting and way more important to the main story than he seems to get credit for. I haven't played FFXIV myself (although I've been enjoying watching a friend play through the beginning parts recently), but I do think we have a few FFXIV players here! (I also love making characters based on my Xeno faves in other games. ^^; )
 
Oh hey, welcome! Glad to have you aboard! I keep feeling like these forums are the Dämmerung, what with other platforms potentially collapsing.

I gotta know, have you read Pied Piper? 👀 You'd be very interested, for Reasons, but I don't want to give away specific spoilers.

ETA: Be aware of the save file glitch in XSI, by the way! It happens on native hardware too, not just PCSX2. Fortunately there's a patch!

and I'd be thrilled to discuss Gaignun any time, lmao

YES MORE CANAAN enjoyers! I have not had the chance to read Pied Piper, but I want to! I know a couple of things since I played III years ago.

I know Canaan is Lactis from Pied Piper but I know VERY little of the content. I'm here to learn!

Aw yeah, I'm really glad! <333

Reading Pied Piper made me appreciate Canaan even more, especially the impact of his last scene in XSIII. ;^;

BTW, not sure if you're familiar with the DS version of Xenosaga I + II (it wasn't released in the US, but Elendraug may have found a Japanese playthrough on Youtube awhile back), but apparently there's a scene where Ziggy thinks Canaan seems familiar(?), and it made me wish that they got to interact more throughout the series.
A scene from the DS game Xenosaga I + II. Ziggy stands in the foreground looking over his shoulder at Canaan, who is leaning against a wall in the background.


Also! Speaking of playthrough videos, here's one of Pied Piper if you want to follow along while reading the translation. (It's kind of got mysterious cryptid energy because I guess they had to record it manually with another camera while playing it on an ancient cellphone, but I'm amazed that it exists at all.)
 
You're feeding so much content, but alas I am only on my work breaks! It's not enough time to consume it all. Also that screenshot is just 👀 HELLO?
 
Here's more when you have more time to browse, these are the SFW Pixiv tag search results for カナン ゼノサーガ

 
I love this thread omg 😅

It occurred to me that I think the person who uploaded the Pied Piper videos also really likes Canaan (or at least I remember them mentioning him pretty often on their previous twitter account), and they've drawn some cute fanart of him too (also chaos & friends!):
