This isnt a about the game but the series. Im thinking since the heroine in Episode is 1 is named Shion UZUKI and in Xenogears the wise doctor was Citan UZUKI and I saw a rumor (rumor probably not true and i dont know source but i saw it on a site) that Episode 2 would have a Jin UZUKI.

So is Xenosaga going the be the timeline of the UZUKIs or is it a trademark name like Cid is to FF.

Anyone who thinks they know dont post spoilers about Xenosaga but put what they think here.

I saw a rumor (rumor probably not true and i dont know source but i saw it on a site) that Episode 2 would have a Jin UZUKI.

I read the same rumor.

From a game-magazine of mine, Jin Uzuki probably will be the main character in the 2nd episode. It says that the gears in the 2nd episode will be more like "Asia" culture, not like the Ist episode which is very futuristic and full of mechanism.
