absolute mind blow as one of the first ps2 games- fmv level graphics in game! the sequel kicks up the combat- a must have if you ain't got it but leo is pain to beat on the other end! (currently replaying)
this was 1 of my favourite games ever as a kid. the idea of your character being some 9-14 year old kid atcualy works for giving u the feeling as ur just a kid whos found an awesome but scary robot in some massive war you dont know about. 1 of the best games ive ever played
This game was the best game I ever played on PS2, I still remember the intro so vividly and when I heard the menu music, it was nostalgia. Can't believe this was 2001, Jehuty and ZOE hold a special place in my memory for some reason. What a great name for an orbital frame, and the gameplay was totally fucking awesome. I liked this even more than Metal Gear Solid, way better story telling. More linear, less schizophrenic, pushed more boundaries. MGS was cool but I really only remember the one for PS1, which was way better than MGS3. Never got to play MGS2 unfortunately.
I remember first experiencing this game on the Jampack demo discs that used to exist. Out of all of the demos on there, this one got the most attention from me. I believe the demo went all the way up to the Tempest fight. This was about 2001, and it wouldn't be until a few years ago when I happened across it on PS2. Needless to say, this is my favorite game of all time. My only wish is that they'd make a third one already.
My neighbor once let me borrow her copy of jampack disc and this what got me into zoe and i was determined to find a full copy of zoe in the flee market After three weekend later i finally found it But it only had the zoe disc and not mgs2 demo disc
I too have fond memories of replaying this on Jampack back then! Z.O.E and ICO were the games I kept coming back too until I eventually had the money to buy them. I'm happy to say I have the collectors edition of Z.O.E. 1&2 at last!
It’s 2022 came to watch this for the feels. My dad got me a ps2 for Xmas when it launched. All I had was a demo disc that had the zone of Enders demo on it. Watched this video and intro at least 30 times. That had to be almost 20 years ago. Hearing it takes me right back to my room.
When I bought ZOE, it was still quite early days for the PS2, and I was buying it mainly because it looked like one of the few available games that I would really enjoy. Apparently, many people were buying it just for the MGS2 demo disc, but in PAL territories some of the demo discs had manufacturing faults and wouldn't load. The store clerk kept going on about how they wouldn't accept a return if the demo disc didn't work. I was very confused because he was so adamant about it but I had no idea what he was talking about (I didn't even know the game came with a demo disc until I saw the cover in the store). He finally realised that I was in the dark and explained the situation to me, but that sure was a weird 30 seconds, ha ha!
Ahhh as soon as I heard the song and the intro my memory clicked. I remember playing the first one and I would always let my enemies hit me with their attacks before I had around 1 hit remaining to survive and start fighting from there. The song would play in my head making each battle just epic! I hope they make a Z.O.E 3 and I'm definitely get the HD collection someday!
I remember in 2002 beating this Game more than 20 times on PS2 and I also remember getting up every School day early in the morning at like 4 AM just to play it after getting ready for School. Now that it's 2018 and I can finally play this Game again on Xbox One since my PS2 died so long again and my PS3 died back in 2017. I have never actually started playing Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner but I will be glad to try it on PS4 for the Remaster.
I like how seeing the opening intro and hearing the song play can still give me the chills throughout the whole video, even tho I haven't played ZOE in years.
I don't think I could ever play this game again. For fear that I'm just remembering it nostalgically and that I wouldn't think it was as good as I used too :\
Damn, this video brings back memories of me playing this back in my home country when I didnt know english. The only words I could pick out were Viola and Leo. I must've been around 6 when I first saw that cutscene and it still gives me chills. The opening song gives me such nostalgia its unbelievable.
This was the first game I bought when I got my PS2 and through it I got to know metal gear solid 2 and those two games have the best storyline ever, not only that but the graphics on zoe were amazing...stunning!
If this games intro doesnt give you goosebumps than i dont think youre even human. This shit hits harder than most current animes ever, and its just the intro screen
Ifeel the same way as gibhates , i played this game years ago and it seems SOO long and life has changed SOO much since then. I loved this game, and for some reason it has always held a place in my memory.
I got to try this demo while on a road trip in the back of an SUV. I remember crying at the intro because his friends died. The music and the game just sets into your mind forever.
This game always reminded me of a mix between Gundam 0079, Evangelion..and a little bit of Metroid with the boss battles. Guess that's why I love it so much lol, just wish it had the skirmish mode from ZOE 2

OMG i miss playing thhis game sooo much! it was awesome! Although i was too young to understand it really. it was still soo Awesome! I want to play this game again! Thanks for the upload! Thumbs UP to all you Zone of the Enders fans!!!
Yo i never beat this game as a kid... but the aesthetic and the music were stellar! Top it off with dope ass gameplay and you got yourself a hell of a game! Need to get this again lol
I used to play this game until my freakin fingers fell off! even when i beat it i played it again!! from the story to the music to the characters it was just a classic!
i bought this game with my playstation 2 when i was 11 years old for christmas. i remember it had the metal gear solid 2 demo included in it. omg i love those times.
No offense, but I think Second Runner is a better game, I think the in game cutscenes of this game have aged badly and this is coming from someone who loves XenoSaga, I also couldn’t stand Leo, I found him so fucking whiny that he was just so unlikeable. Dingo was a way better protagonist to me.
21 years later i still reminisce of this classic game storyline & gameplay was awsome remembering me getting this with sons of liberty when the ps2 had dropped .. we need a remake or a part 3
I started playing this game when I was in the 2nd grade back in 2004-2005. I remember I used to play the game up until I got to the 1st EPS satilite, then I would quit the game because I didn't know what to do next and I was having a hard time trying to find out what to do,(I didn't know about walkthroughs and let's plays back then because I was really little). My parents eventually got rid of the game. Now, like 5-6 years later, I finally have the game again and I... FREAKIN LOVE THIS GAME. :D
its kind of funny, played this game forever when i was young. then i got ZOE2 and adjusted to the speed easily but then i came back to the first and it felt so slow lol best series EVER, no equal
song was called Beyond the Bounds Anime well there is one called Idolo,a movie before the game started and an anime series called Dolores,there are some good parts in the episodes and a bit of comedy in it. Both are prequels to the games but really difficult to find,unless you know where to look
Thats because the cutscenes in the game were rendered using the in-game engine. You have to remember this was 2001, and it was one of the first and earliest games to use the PS2's technology.
I rember playing this when I was 5 fucking loved it I could not rember the name of it for at least 4 years and my friend brought it up I was like holy shit I loved that game I'm about to buy this again!!
I finally found it, the game has been found! I remember playing the Demo disc on the Ps2. And I use to be very disturbed about this game, I imagined it more Gore for some reason…it’s very nostalgic finding this again.
...the game is beautiful. Though, I am curious if they're actually speaking a language in the beginning song and not just making random noises cause that sounds like nothing I've heard before...0_o
Did you guys know that if you reverse the Chanty thingy in the menu you will get a small verse from one of the game's ending songs? Seriously I did, it! XD It was awesome! XD
Hideo Kojima (the creator of ZoE) has actually stated that he's interested in making a sequel to the game now that he's finished with the Metal Gear Solid series for the time being. So cross your fingers because there's a good chance he'll end up announcing it soon. :D
I remember when my mother came to home that day when the PS2 was being sold for only 3-4 months : "Hey. I bought you the ps2 and I bought this random fighting game too (ZOE)... But you must have good marks" Today I just think about it and say "Well... My mother has a fucking good taste in video games :O"
That scene, with the bent lightpost and the blood pouring out from under that mech, traumatized me as a kid and was forever etched into my brain.
this intro made me buy this game. and i've never regret it
This game was my very first ps2 game and I still love it too this day

Anyone one else play the demo when they were younger?
Yes
yeah buddy, seemed more cataclysmic in my child mind.
YEAH!!!!
Yeah
Yeah and I am still traumatized from his friends getting crushed and him not being able to do a damn thing about it.
This game really freaked me out as a kid (on the demo), yet I was very intrigued by it and played it a ton.
It’s 2022 came to watch this for the feels. My dad got me a ps2 for Xmas when it launched. All I had was a demo disc that had the zone of Enders demo on it. Watched this video and intro at least 30 times. That had to be almost 20 years ago. Hearing it takes me right back to my room.
"It's all Leo's fault! He made us come here!"
I remember hearing that back in 3rd grade.
Some friends. Still bad how they died. But man that rubbed me the wrong how they threw him under the bus like that.
Does anyone remember how the MGS 2 demo was playable when you purchased this game or rented it?
I played that demo alot. Never played it right once I think. Just like I always got stuck half way through zoe when I was younger
Pretty sure that’s the reason I bought it.
Yeah
Dude yes.
When I bought ZOE, it was still quite early days for the PS2, and I was buying it mainly because it looked like one of the few available games that I would really enjoy. Apparently, many people were buying it just for the MGS2 demo disc, but in PAL territories some of the demo discs had manufacturing faults and wouldn't load.

This game concept is a master piece. Beautifuly awesome.
"ZOE, taking the term 'cockpit' to literally since 2001" lol man love this series cant wait for the HD remake
Anyone else get chills when he sees Jehuty for the first time?
+Austin Sayre I did, and when Zero-shift first debuted
all the time...., memories
Every single time. Even when my memories flash ti this opening.

Sad story but so good. I'm glad the 2nd runner will be on ps4 Sept 4 2018 but I wish both of the 1st and 2nd was in the same pack.
I don't think I could ever play this game again. For fear that I'm just remembering it nostalgically and that I wouldn't think it was as good as I used too :\
Played it almost 10 years later. It’s just as good as I remember it.

after 10years i finally found it
Der N3[R]O exactly how I feel me and my bro over face time and we found it

Der N3[R]O priceless memories
After 15 years I finally found it.
loved how the end of the movie transitioned right into the game...love this song too and the slower version from the movie
It took me well over 7 years trying to remember this game!!
Such an UNDERRATED video game.
Almost cried seeing this......memories of this on ps2
Best video game intro ever
back when games were awesome. PS2 era will never be repeated
So many memories..
Old remembers ps2 first time when i play this game was in demo
+ffffffffffffffffffffff I found this game in a demo, so I dl'd it and ima play it now :D

Love this game. They make sense of the name "Cockpit"
I could literally cry. This was my first Playstation 2 game. This game came with Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty Demo.

I want ZOE 3. Imagine how good it would be on current gen consoles. Plus the potential for online multiplayer. It would be an absolute blast.
LOve this game and ZOE 2 is the best game PS2 will ever have its just brilliant
its kind of funny, played this game forever when i was young. then i got ZOE2 and adjusted to the speed easily but then i came back to the first and it felt so slow lol
best series EVER, no equal
I remember when I first played this game when it came out. So awesome.
song was called Beyond the Bounds
Anime well there is one called Idolo,a movie before the game started and an anime series called Dolores,there are some good parts in the episodes and a bit of comedy in it. Both are prequels to the games but really difficult to find,unless you know where to look
Kojima really knows how to pick great music for games
first game and probably the firs movie which left me with this numb painful feeling when I sow it as a kid... good old times...
I remember playing this for PS2...
The Memories I miss...o well
epic and unforgetable :'(
I play this game at demo ps2! Best story :)
God this game makes me feel so Nostalgic! ahh i wish i had it again :3
This game needs to comeback to us!
it hasnt gone anywhere lol. you can pick it up and play it today, or emulate it for free right this moment.
I was lucky enough to listen to the soundtrack and have a copy of the soundtrack before I played the game. It made it 1000000000 X better!!
Thats because the cutscenes in the game were rendered using the in-game engine. You have to remember this was 2001, and it was one of the first and earliest games to use the PS2's technology.
