Xenosaga episode 1,questions?(spoilers)

Ok anyone who has played the game share your impressions.

Ok damn i have to say i wasn’t prepared for just how sudden the ending was,i know its part of a long series but there was no closure at all.
And i can easily see this becoming the videogame Wheel of time.endless “chapters” with no storyline resolution at all.
I’m sure the marketoids at Namco are shooting their pants contemplating the cash cow potential here.

I know i have seen this posted before,and i agree that KOS-MOS will almost certainly become a part of deus(if not the core).

What exactly are the Gnosis? Just beings from some higher dimension?

Why was the zohar on earth in the first place? What happened in the 4,000 years between it being found and ending up on miltia?
Is this going to be explained in Xenosaga episode 0 MSRP 49.99:rolleyes: ?

If Monolithsoft can pull it off hurrah,but i can see them starting too many plot threads and elements already,i expect if this series gets to episode 3 the story will be a royal mess,and still offering no answers.
