Xenosaga Pied Piper has been recovered after 21 years
ValakTurtle has just announced that a preserved copy of Xenosaga Pied Piper has been found and recovered by the Keitai Wiki. After 21 years of being lost media, Pied Piper is finally playable again, this time outside of Japan. ValakTurtle has also announced that an English translation patch is now being made by Vector Translations & Preservation and Keitai Wiki romhackers.

For those who don't know, Pied Piper is a 2004 mobile game that was released exclusively to Japan through online mobile services. It takes place about 100 years before the events of the Xenosaga trilogy, describing the backstory of the party member Ziggy as well as other crucial lore for the series. Pied Piper's role in Xenosaga can be compared to Torna's importance for Xenoblade 2.
For the past 21 years, the game has been considered lost media, with screenshots and playthroughs being the only way we've been able to experience what it was originally like, but now the game is finally playable. This is a massive win for the Xeno franchise and game preservation as a whole, and can't wait for myself and everyone to finally be able to play it.
