Xeno-pittan (ことばのパズル　ぜのぴったん, Word puzzle: Xeno-pittan) is a minigame in Xenosaga Freaks. It is a Xenosaga-themed spinoff of Namco's Mojipittan series.

Gameplay

The game is somewhat similar to Scrabble in that it requires the player to form Japanese words in a grid using the characters given. Unlike Scrabble:

• Only one tile is placed at a time, meaning that if a tile does not immediately make a word it cannot be placed.
• It is legal for separate words in the same direction to overlap.
• It is legal to form a word in one direction without forming valid words in all directions.

The game features multiple levels. Each level provides an individual board and some tiles, each containing one hiragana character. The player has to create words with these tiles within a given time limit and fulfill one or more requirements, for example building 20 three-character words.

Controls

• The D-pad moves the cursor (the analog sticks are not used in this game). This allows the player to scroll through tiles and decide their placement.
• or selects a tile or places it.
• undoes the previous turn.
• cancels selection of a tile. Holding this button allows the player to quickly scroll through tiles.
• Select allows the player to view all the words they have created so far and see their definitions. In the alternating multiplayer mode it instead lets the player pass their turn.
• Start pauses the game.

Dictionary

Main article: Xeno-pittan dictionary

The dictionary uses the same words as the original Moji-pittan, but with extra vocabulary from the Xenosaga universe. This includes main characters, important concepts, enemies, and combat moves: all normal attacks, ether abilities, and Tech Attacks.

Personality Test

After completing a level in Xeno-pittan, the player will get a personality test (せいかくしんだん) based on which types of words they chose during the game. The personalities given include the characters of Xenosaga Episode I. There is also a happiness index (ハッピー指数) given, rating the player's happiness on a level from 0% to 100%. It is currently unknown how the game determines this value.

In multiplayer, a similar test called the Compatibility Test (あいしょうしんだん) can be viewed after a match is completed. Both the personality and happiness indexes are shown, followed by a Compatibility Level (ふたりの相性度) showing how similar the two players were in terms of personality and happiness.
