- KOS-MOS should be able to fully empathize with people because she is able to recreate one's past. (Shion and Jr.'s past was recreated when they dove into KOS-MOS via encephalon drive).
- Also, when Sakura is affected by the U.M.N network, could be an allusion to this world and cancer.
- Shion's "live every day" thing during their confrontation to Wilhelm reminded me of Heidegger's philosophy, where life is about living in the moment.
- At the end, Jin finds peace but strangely started to desire a chaotic life once again. This reminded me of Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground, where we sometimes find it pleasant to smash things.
- Most people see synthetic human beings in Xenosaga's universe as other human beings. When I first played the game, I thought Juli Mizrahi was uncomfortable with MOMO because MOMO was a Realian. It turns out, she's just uncomfortable because MOMO looks like her first daughter.
- The Upper Domain needs the Lower Domain, and the Lower Domain needs the Upperdomain, just like Martin Buber's theology, "God needs us, and we need God, which is our reason for living."
- Wilhelm is like a Philosopher King, but with the end point. Philosopher Kings vacilate forever. Wilhelm thinks forever too, and comes to the end point, which is to reset the Eternal Recurrence.
There should be more, but I don't remember everything that I think of.
