ワン・フェイフォン 🐶੭˶ ☺
I feel like 3yrs prior he was oblivious, but as he grew more accustomed to emotions, people, & social cues he picked up on her feelings easily. That pause his little sprite does before leaving & those ellipses are a big tell that he isnt as oblivious as he makes himself out to be.
Its a little headcanon of mine that Aruru started learning more advanced medicine from Citan, as Lahan is a very conservative old village where the women are likely taught from a young age to take on the role of nurses/caretakers for the village, so I think she helped Fei recover and became fast friends with him that way, pulling Timothy along into forming their little group.

"#this would be a fascinating ship #i really like how they're presented here #there's an implied intimacy in their physical closeness and the nudity and the focus on the joined hands #but everything else feels distant and disengaged #each isolated in their own thoughts #miang hawwa #grahf #xenogears #xenogears spoilers"
Im glad the distance was felt there. but hmm, i was too lazy to extend the picture to the left after the fact to make it more obvious that Grahf does indeed have pants on 😂 like you can see it a bit, but uhh after drawing his torso i just didnt wanna cover it with clothes.
the artist's curse of covering anatomy you just finished lol
otherwise, he would've been fully clothed as well bc--
-*that* level of intimacy wasnt intended from the start, but rather only the implied closeness of understanding between one another that they would feel comfortable in each other's presence. And with that level of separation and distance coming most entirely from him and any closeness felt coming from her specifically.
...though there is a bit of closeness coming from him considering he's still here and hasn't pulled away from her during her little moment of feeling more humanity within herself.
Elaborated more over on Twt about how I think Myyah would use him for her own goal, knowing he'd be fine and can jump bodies, but he is more human and would take that for what it is, being used. He'd lose his original Contact body and would then have to spent centuries waiting to get it back in order to fulfill his own goal which is separate from hers.
In-game, 9999, it feels like he's had multiple instances of learning to not trust her over the centuries. With her having to ask him "so please..." when requesting he make sure Id doesnt get Emeralda.
Then ofc when he nearly threatens her, "I don't know what you are up to, but don't you dare think about plotting against me. You stay out of this!".
And ofc his line at the end, "Miang and Elhaym…are not just Deus' mouthpieces. That 'woman' is its main body! Why can't you see that?"
Tumblr media
I like the idea of 9501-9510 Myyah/Grahf simply for the potential Myyah character exploration through her connection to the Contact that she never really had vs her "sister"s. Just maybe some rare fleeting moments of feeling more human before programming takes over again.
And like, its almost completely superficial in the end because Grahf is not the same as Lacan, not the same as her sister-clone's other half; it may be Lacan's body but he's trapped within.
And maybe Grahf understands that fleeting feeling she has of being trapped in the cycle, because its something he's trying to end, but he still knows she's bad news and her programming is stronger than Cain's.
It may only be strictly supported by Anthology & my own headfanon, but non-canon stuff is fun to contemplate. I used to be so stuffy about canon with everything. I still feel like Im having to justify to myself why Im liking something non-canon, its seriously a pain in the neck lol

She has a tail, so not a gormotti, but if Elly were a catgirl I think she'd be an orange maine coon.
Certainly not for their large size- she's so petite- but for their beautiful long fur & regal appearance. Was thinkin of those sketches (in PW) that Tanaka sent to Square via fax; cat Emeralda & one of the random girls in this pose.

old mod page now; new mod page now linked at the top of the post
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Old mod page, abandoned 3/2/24; New mod page @ Godsibb
Finally, after 2 years of work, it is complete. -But still being updated.
There's a Japanese version of the mod now!
今は日本語版のMODがある!
This is a mod for Xenogears using Retroarch's Beetle PSX HW core real-time texture replacement feature. (It requires the Vulkan driver, so make sure your graphics card supports that.) (Duckstation doesn't have a similar option, unfortunately.)
It replaces every single character dialogue portrait, menu portrait, & (almost every) battle portrait (looking at you, Yggdra officer Gear pilots) with high quality, cleaned up artwork, as well as recreated high quality UI while keeping it as close to the original game as possible.
And best thing about it is, if there's anything you don't like about it, like certain aspects of the UI, you can locate and delete that file from the folder. Everything is optional. (if you have any questions as to what's what, drop them into my dms)
Current version: 1.4
現在の日本語版: 1.4
(More screenshots below download info and UI changes.)
Being a real-time texture replacer, it should work with any English version of XG, both base-game and modded/patched. Any fan-translated patch using the US version as a base should display correctly.
There's a separate version for the Japanese version of the game. May need some editing still with other characters' UI ("Ether"/"Spells"/"Arcane"/etc) but for the most part its good to go in terms of battle UI. Let me know if you find any errors.
(I've been using it with the Perfect Works Build mod. Highly recommended!)
(Note!!: If you use PWB mod, don't use its "readjusted portraits" patch when patching your rom, as that patch interferes with this mod's portraits texture replacing.)
(It works on Steam Deck... but don't ask me for details in setting that up in particular, I don't own one 😅)
~~~
Download/ダウンロード
I recommend reading the instructions txt files I included in the DL.
This includes information such as how to set up .cue and .m3u files, swapping discs, renaming the texture folder, Retroarch settings and Beetle PSX HW Core settings to get the mod working, settings suggestions for making a cleaner looking and faster playing XG (YMMV), and settings to fix certain emulation issues Ive come across (freezing on fast-forward, crackling audio during 3D/effects-heavy cutscenes/gameplay, blank screen during Rico flashback, etc).
~~~~~~~~~~
-Changes made to the UI include:
Menu UI:
selection triangle, Walk/Gear icons
menu portraits
▲ ■ ● ✖ button DeathBlow menu icons
ABXY button DeathBlow menu icon- alternate textures
Battle UI and on-foot specific battle UI:
Circular battle palette and tags behind text
Battle palette text, "Combo", "Return", "Enter", "Miss", "EP", & HP/DMG/heal/AP numbers
HP/AP bars
"Time", "fuel", "total damage", AP numbers, "1/2/3 point(s)", "cancel end"
battle portraits
▲ ■ ● ✖ button DeathBlow icons
ABXY button Deathblow icons- alternate textures
Bottom screen mid-DeathBlow ▲ ■ ✖ icons (unfortunately, there's no way to change the other mid-DB quadruple-button icons)
Combo 1-7 and Accept icons
In-Gear specific battle UI:
"fuel" and fuel numbers
"Fuel" (when using boost)
fuel bars (top and left)
All Gear status menus' green text/numbers
Attack level numbers and ∞
Gear menu backgrounds
Gear "power shut down", "camera damaged", "out of fuel", etc, statuses
background UI elements, runes, triple red triangles, Gear lock-on UI (unfortunately, there's no way to change the circular part of this UI)
Misc UI changes:
Red/grey spheres (in the menu and loading screen)
All instances of selection diamonds, both horizontal and vertical
Load/save screen "CARD 1"/"2" text, memory card icon, load/save bar/text
Disc 1 and 2 maps (with alternate color versions; makes the enterable area indicators harder to see though)
NESW compass letters (unfortunately, there's no way to change the circular compass texture)
~~~~~

Portraits to match their sprites vs official unedited artwork:
(default on left, alt on right)
Roni/Medena/Erich edited sprite equivalent vs their official PW art
Citan edited unsmiling (dialogue-only) sprite equivalent vs official smiling art)
Krelian(s) edited sprite equivalent vs official art
Tumblr media
Portrait alts created for fun:
Both sides of scar-eyed Bart
Two-eyed Bart
Kim lab coat with glasses
Fei-colored Id
Fei-colored Id with Id's yellow eyes
Fei-colored young & older Emeralda
(might add to this list later. have any suggestions? fun ideas? lmk. It doesn't have to be canon-compliant.)
Tumblr media
Screenshots of alt portraits in-use:

I'll continue to update this and subsequently reblog it as new versions are released.
With any new updates, just DL and replace/overwrite the old folder.
In-progress tumblr post of the past as a bit of a time capsule for myself 😄
