World History

The history of Xenogears is arguably the best part of the game. It makes the story, and it gives the characters purpose. But 15,000 years is a long time to cover in a game, and inevitably, there will be loose ends, and questions unanswered. This section is here to help with that; I hope it will make the plot easier to understand, and answer all of those questions we were left with.
