my understanding is that slave generators and the like come from that time. there is no way to reproduce the technology that Zohar and Kadomony have. Slave generators are a finite resource that must be scavenged.
and the big stuff like Ft Jasper is also from the Eldridge. The game shows that throughout the 10K years prior, all cultures valued and prized precious items like Anima Relics.

but other things like gate generators and gears themselves could be from the Zeboim era, or from 500 year previous in the heyday of Shevat and Solaris. The 3 wise men and Krelian clearly have the capability and know-how to create such technology on their own.

and certain tech, like the man-machine fusion, is being developed in the current timeline.

Playing XG was a great experience I had as a gamer, it's a one-of-a-kind game that I'm really glad I played.

I found the transition to Disc 2 jarring but I'd read about it beforehand so I had adjusted my expectations accordingly.

Suddenly every bit of gameplay became precious whereas in Disc 1 I had grown tired and by the end of it I was just going through as fast as I could, keeping grinding to a minimum.

The thing that really bothered me isn't in how Disc 2 plays like a cliff notes version but rather that I was so interested in the story that, from time to time, I would get the feeling they had cut stuff important parts out so it was hard to keep up at times.

I'm also a tremendous fan of its OST, I still listen to June Mermaid from time to time. The scene where it first plays, with Emeralda in her gear was one of many wow moments where the game showed a lot of soul.

And the whole ending is amazing.
