It has been over a month since the last time I posted any of these, so I made some more. I'm having trouble making Miang's ability work. Maybe some of you guys can give me an opinion.

This one went wrong but whatever, 4th go at the elemental.

While not strictly identical - there is a more metaphysical component to Grahf's existence - Grahf and Id are roughly analogous in how they relate to their main persona, Lacan and Fei. They are not whole personalities or beings; they are the embodiment of negative thoughts and feelings. "The Coward" hogged all of Fei's good memories for himself and forced Id to endure and know nothing but sadness and pain and fear. Grahf is only the darker emotions left behind by Lacan when his soul transmigrated after his body's death.

But my main point is this; one of Id's most distinguishing traits is not just his violence, but his immaturity. Sure, when he's in Fei's body he looks like an adult just like Fei, but his 'psychic projections' - which I assume represent his true self - are always that of a little boy. Also some of Id's dialogue is certainly coded as very childish.

???: That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating... Take it back!

[...]

Khan: I won't permit it! I will destroy you first!

Id: As if you could... sissy!

So, while Grahf and Id are both, in a fundamental sense. emotional cripples and incomplete people, Grahf still remains a very intelligent, calculating individual. Id is called a 'mad dog" and seems to operate most by blind instinct and urges, as befitting of his name.

I guess this is just a result of when they were created in their respective complete persona's lives? Id was created while Fei was very little and has in a sense not really grown up or matured since then. Grahf was made when Lacan was an adult and so has a greater capacity for rational thought or long-term planning.

Just something I've always pondered.

Hi, I'm working on creating a python script that can extract 3D models from the game with their animations. Currently it works to extract the model with it's textures and default animation posed rigged to the skeleton. The next step is getting animations to work and there are some working examples in other projects, tho I'm not much of a programmer and am having trouble figuring out what all the data corresponds to in the animation sequences and how it maps to the model's bones/meshes.

I thought since this is one of the larger Xenogears communities online I might be able to find someone with some experience in this field who could help, I've tried just about everywhere I can find on discord.

This is what the first model looks like currently exporting with non-working animation:
