Her father is a Presbyterian minister, her mother a nurse; her family also includes three sisters and two brothers. With medicine strong in the family, it was natural for Hogg to become a doctor. Thus, she studied medicine at Queens University in Belfast. In her third year, Joanne was singing at the Christian Artists talent event and was convinced sing in a school ministry at Youth For Christ in Denmark. After a year, Joanne returned to the University to complete her two remaining years of schooling.

She started working as a junior doctor in the Belfast Hospital, but in 1988 she was invited to form a band with Dave Fitzgerald and Dave Bainbridge. In 1989, Joanne stopped practicing medicine and Iona was born. Since then, Joanna has sung all over Europe and America. Iona's recordings have become successful worldwide, making them Europe's best selling contemporary Christian band.

Hogg recorded her first solo album, Looking Into Light, in 1999. Her vocals were featured in the role-playing games Xenogears (for the Sony PlayStation) and Xenosaga (for the Sony PlayStation 2). She sang the English versions of Star of Tears and Small Two of Pieces from Xenogears, and Pain and Kokoro from Xenosaga. Star of Tears was featured on the 2-disc Xenogears: Original Soundtrack; however, the song is not normally accessible in the game. Hogg collaborated with several artists for the album New Irish Hymns and provided the female vocals on both solo releases from Troy Donockley.

Run through the cold of the night as passion burns in your heart
Ready to fight, a knife held close by your side
Like a proud wolf alone in the dark, with eyes that watch the world
And my name like a shadow on the face of the moon

Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer, and then
We can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world

Cold fire clenched to my heart in the blue of night
Torn by this pain, I paint your name in sound
And the girl of the dawn with eyes of blue and angel wings
The songs of the season are her only crown

Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer, and then
We can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world

We met in the mist of morning
And parted deep in the night
Broken sword and shield, and tears that never fall
But run through the heart
Washed away by the darkest water
The world is peaceful and still

Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer, and then
We can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world

I knew the flute motif is the same as in the Future Redeemed ending song with the same singer. Takahashi is a one of a kind genius. This man took 30 years and multiple project failures to complete his vision in Perfect Works and did it in a way no one would have ever anticipated. Bravo. I think it's difficult to fully describe what it's been like to be on this crazy ride, but I would do it all over again. This is the most ambitious storytelling in games period and it's not even close.

Yeah I would say best story in a JRPG for sure.hooks bits of inspiration from philosophy, anime like neon Genesis evangelion, science fiction like Soylent Green, and mashed them altogether into something amazing. I do think it was massively flawed as it basically ran out of its budget and just told the story in text on disc 2 and dropped you off in endgame, but it has so much going for it that it’s possibly my favorite JRPG along with Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger, and maybe FF6. The Soundtrack was incredible but I think he outdid himself with the Chrono across soundtrack, even though the game was disappointing. The main characters like Fei, Citan, and Citan were well developed and got plenty of interaction, but all the rest just have like one moment to shine. The villains though were very well done, especially the final one. A remake would be awesome but I think we’re past that.

+UberWraith It's assumption on your part how much better the game would have been. The bottom line is that the chair narration sucked ass and was my biggest issue with the game period. Sorry, but you can't rate potential. It's always been clear to me that FF6 had some stuff cut(which was confirmed at some point), and while in a similar fashion, that game's second half had issues, it didn't suck as much as xenogears's second half.

Like I said, I really love xenogear's first half. But the second half sucked, and trying to second guess what happened with FFVIII at the time really doesn't help any.

This is so nostalgic it’s painful. This is the last time I was content at all though I was depressed during this period. I’ve been on a path of depression, anxiety, drug addiction, and I just miss playing these games with their beautiful music. I remember I thought when I grew up I’d be an amazing hero like Fei. It’s been disappointing. But yeah I can’t do this often. Bittersweet.

I played this as a teenager shortly after it came out. It had received lackluster reviews, but it was a Squaresoft game so I was curious. I was hooked quickly and recognized this would become a classic for many who love rpgs. Still an amazing story.

+Simpletones Anything is possible, if you scream loud enough. We're getting a remake of FF7, aren't we? Even though, compared to 8, 9, 10, 12 and, dare I say, even 13, it isn't that good. Unfortunately... We'll never see a Xenogears remake, or a Chrono Trigger remake. Which is sad. And a loss to humanity.

It actually might happen. Square is looking back at old licenses and people are voting for Xenogears

@lacanm1554

It's very unlikely for a xenogears remake as square doesn't have an interest in actually reviving their dead series :/

Great lyrics, outstanding music (the low whistle gives me shivers every time I listen to it) Yasunori Mitsuda truly is a genius, and Joanne Hogg makes it even better in her performance. I'm surprised Namco-Bandai has never brought back Mitsuda in the succeeding titles of Xenosaga though. The newer generation of players will never realize what they're missing in these old games, where quality and passion are unadulterated.

@TheMixedPlateFrequency

Yeah, same way I feel. I feel like the new generation of gamers are missing out on the quality, passion and creativity of those games.

The best song with vocal in video game. This song stands taller than Baba Yetu in my opinion, and that song won a grammy (well, the album won). And it's also the video game version of "My Heart Will Go On". It was released close to each other (Titanic and Xenogears) and some thought that this song was inspired by Titanic, which is silly as this game was out before Titanic hit theatres!
The lyrics, the tunes, the instruments, Joanne Hogg, it's a masterpiece. Shame that Mitsuda cannot recreate the masterpiece in Xenosaga or Monado, but a masterpiece is not supposed to be recreated anyway.
